    Great little place for really good sushi in Telluride. Happy hour from 5-6 is a great value. Place gets busy so make reservations beforehand if possible.

    The service and ambiance were top-notch and by far the reason I would go again. Traverse was a fantastic waiter and made our anniversary special! My wife had the filet mignon, and I had the New York strip. We both thought our steaks were great, and the grilled garlic cloves paired nicely. Additionally, I highly recommend you get the bread as a starter. The bread and the butter were sensational.

    Food was good but a bit overly fussy. We enjoyed scallops, poullet, the salad and croque madam which had a too-rich sauce. All desserts were outstanding: mousse, profiteroles and a lemon curd tart. Champagne was wonderful. Fixed price menu is constraining. Would prefer ala carte options.
