We had a wonderful dining experience here and would definitely rate it a solid 5 stars. I ordered the surf and turf, which included scallops, shrimp, and steak served over a bed of homemade fettuccine with spinach and Parmesan. The steak was incredibly flavorful and practically melted in my mouth. What stood out most was how well everything complemented each other, the seafood, pasta, and steak created a perfectly balanced dish. My husband ordered the Ahi, and it was equally delicious, fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. We started with the calamari and were pleasantly surprised when it came with homemade fettuccine. It was honestly some of the best calamari we've had in a long time, perfectly cooked and beautifully paired. Overall, this is a great choice if you're looking for an upscale dining experience with thoughtfully prepared dishes. Definitely recommend. read more

Visited three times so far and find the food and service consistent. Small cozy space. Reservations recommended. Bar seating is available. Service is attentive but not intrusive. The shrimp spring rolls were everything you want in a fried spring roll. The burrata salad was fresh, bright and so flavorful. Both the crispy iceburg wedge and the fries were declared the best we've had. The carrot cake and tiramisu were also favorites. Other items enjoyed by our party: Prime Rib special, scallop special, cedar plank salmon. read more

A quick stop before getting back on the road home to San Antonio Texas. Ambiance was Splendid! The food was just ok & the service a bit disappointing for the Calibur of restaurant. We visit Durango pretty often as my husband hunts in Utah always have Amazing experiences but this unfortunately fell short. We will not be dining here in the future. 2 stars are solely for as mentioned the "Splendid," ambiance. read more

We are sooo glad we chose this spot for dinner. After a week of hikes we wanted a rewarding, good, hearty meal. This hit the spot Make RESERVATIONS!!! We set at the bar while we were waiting on our reservation time and its a lil warm inside, so we chose patio seating. Its all covered! Service on the patio was awesome, shout out to our waitress Rachel! We started with the calamari. OMG! Some of the best I've had. It's the rings, battered perfectly (good taste & batter stuck), served with house-made fettuccini pasta and fresh marinara sauce (bold, flavorful and a great addition). Lil drizzle of lemon aioli on the top. There was just 2 of us in our party, but we were kinda full after finishing just that. I ordered the filet mignon. It was so tended, well seasoned. Perfectly what I wanted. Potato lasagna (think scalloped but creamier) was really good!!!! Even the spinach was decent and I hate spinach. My husband got the NY strip and was very pleased it was tender and a great cut! His came with asparagus, which he shared and was cooked perfectly crisp, and mashed potatoes. Overall we would definitely dine here again when in Durango!! Honestly I chose this over 2 other steak restaurants based on website and menu visual appeal, it looked the most legit and well put together, and it did not disappoint! read more

Great place to eat in Durango! Our group of 5 totally enjoyed our drinks & dinner at 636 Main. We started with a round of cocktails from their menu. All were great. One person in our group had the Ribeye which was cooked to perfection and delicious. Two of us had the Halibut on vegetables. It was all perfectly prepared and delicious as well. The last two had the special of the day, Prime Rib. None of us had ever seen Prime Rib served the way it was. It almost looked like a roast. Unfortunately, they ordered it Medium but it was pretty much rare. They went ahead and ate rather than sending back. They reported that while flavorful, the meat was quite tough and chewy. Our server, Laurie, who was simply outstanding and attentive, offered to buy us a couple desserts. We took the tiramisu and the cheesecake. They were both excellent, but the cheesecake was really memorable. Don't miss it! I give 636 a pass on the Prime Rib special so make sure you go enjoy their flavorful food, cocktails and yummy desserts! read more

I really enjoyed my dinner at 636! I stopped by wanting to try either the grouper or the gnocchi, but I wasn't very hungry at the time. I ended up getting the gnocchi which came with a little bit of spinach, and was the PERFECT amount of food, and it was delicious! The vibe inside was also just really nice in general, and my server Braxton was very attentive. This is a great option for a date spot right on the Main Street. Had super clean bathrooms too. I was a big fan! read more

Due to (for us good) staffing the owner was our hostess. She has a restaurant that completely makes sense why they are packed. The ambience was subdued inside be we opted for the outside dining alfresco style. Patio lights, heaters, and foliage that made it magical. Food was scrumptious. I didn't get the pork shoulder green chill stew but, yum. The wine braised beef tips over roasted mashed potatoes was well balanced and deep in flavor with tender meat. Head here, pricing is very reasonable given the package. read more

Ordered takeaway for a birthday dinner. The food was absolutely delicious! The pistachio crusted grouper and sweet potato mash were yummy! The chicken piccata was tasty, and the scallops were to die for! The carrot cake and carrot cake truffles were also fabulous. I couldn't recommend this place more! So good! read more

Appetizers are huge, just an FYI! We had ahi, lettuce cups and split the halibut which was fabulous! It was all really good and we will be back. read more

636 Main Ave is a lively dining experience. I arrived for the prime rib but sadly the restaurant ran out. Still, the ribeye was a good substitute and was cooked to my order. Served staff were friendly which added to the meal. I loved the crème brûlée. My Old Fashion cocktail did not live up to the hype and arrived warm quickly melting the cube. Even so it was a good place to dine read more

The food was exceptional. Pistachio covered grouper delicious with sweet potato mashed potatoes. The pot stickers appetizer was very tasty and showed off their Asian inclination. Good wine list by the glass. Convenient location. Recommendation. Be careful with their reservation system. I made one for the dining room or patio. When I got there, I said that and the hostess would only seat us on the wet, damp, cold patio. I asked for inside seating and was told it would be an hour wait. A server came by and said, she'd been cut because no one was eating outside. Yep, We were the only ones on the patio. It seems when it rains in Durango, everyone but me, eats inside. My recommendation. Do not make a reservation. Take your chances on walk in and if its an hour wait, go somewhere else. read more

My friends and I had an absolutely fantastic experience at 636 Main Ave. The service was outstanding, especially the bartender, who was incredibly attentive and made some of the best drinks I've had in a long time. The meal was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor and clearly made with quality ingredients. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. The interior had a warm, welcoming vibe, and it was great to see so many happy customers around. Overall, I can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking for top-notch service, expertly crafted cocktails, and a meal that hits all the right notes. 636 Main Ave. has become my go-to spot in Durango! This highlights the service, food, and ambiance perfectly! read more

Food and drinks were great! Our server was busy and she did a great job. The ambience is nice, but our least favorite part of our dinner experience. The restaurant gets very crowded and noisy since it's a small space. read more

636 is the spot locals love! We were there tonight, Oct.26, and everything was amazing. We had the beef tips and ribeye, the mezcal drink and a Manhattan. Dan was our server, he is great! 636 never disappoints, and it's a great atmosphere. Bring back the gnocchi! We will always recommend this place to visitors. read more

636 Main is one of our favorite spots to treat ourselves when we're in Durango because the food is consistently delicious! Last night three of us in our group opted for a tapas style dinner. We started with the Mediterranean Burrata Salad and 4 of the small plates/appetizers. The portions were generous, and the flavors and plating were phenomenal. We finished by sharing the prime rib special which we devoured. My kids loved the angel hair marinara and meatballs. We sat out back. The tables are under tents and they have heaters to keep guest nice and cozy. The staff are always great. We look forward to our next meal there and hope we have room for dessert! read more

Ambiance and vibe is 5/5 -- we sat on the patio with our big group and loved the Christmas lights and heater. Our waiter was great and very kind But the food definitely was a let down. Half of us got the filet mignon and it was good don't get me wrong but not $50 good. Same with the chicken parm or whatever the chicken with noodles was because they are made of veggies and not normal pasta (wheat). I will say I am a steak snob though and have had some very very good high end steaks in my time -- this was like a 6.5/10 for me steak wise The rolls and the spicey butter was yummy though! read more

Food, service and ambiance was awesome! Would highly recommend this place. Our waiter and food were perfect!

My wife and I chose the 636 to celebrate our 10th anniversary. The staff was friendly and decorated the table for the occasion. We ordered our drinks and unfortunately my painkiller was undrinkable. I never send anything back but just couldn't drink it. I switched to a pineapple cider which was much better. The food was lackluster and the waitress filled my half consumed cider glass with water. Unfortunately this was all we could take. We paid our bill and enjoyed dessert across the street at the Mahogany. Kai, Keena and Reagan really turned the evening around. Next time we will start at the Mahogany! read more

Food quality was excellent. Ambiance was fun, perfect for us. Service was above avg. we had Tomato bisque- absolutely the best I've ever had. Chicken piccata -excellent. Within walking distance of Wyndham. read more

Stop what you're doing and get in here immediately! Sit in the back patio to take in the fun and festively lit vibe - plenty of private seating too. We ordered house salads, grouper, and ribeye. Salads were bright, crisp, and fresh with a refreshing house made citrus dressing. Both of the main dishes melted in the mouth and we didn't want the joy to end. Accompanying sides and sauces were equally deliriously good, and our waiter was surprisingly well-informed about every item and drink the house offered. I mean, have you been to a few restaurants lately? Most waitstaff can barely figure out hygiene, let some menu offerings. But I digress... This was top notch!! Do not pass this place by!! read more

I took my wife here for a date and I glad I did. The food was great and our server Jack was very professional and helpful. We tried the halibut and chicken piccata, crispy pork belly for an appetizer, all of it was delicious. Oh yeah and the crème brûlée was awesome. read more

Very disappointed 636 dropped the delicious spicy halibut dish, that was rich with vegetables. Now, all six seafood offerings are served with creamy dairy sauces. That is just wrong. Please bring back the original halibut dish! read more

We had the crispy pork belly appetizer. Absolutely delicious. Then we split the special of the da which was scallops. Again, delicious. There were 8 scallops with risotto and crispy onion rings. Service was great until we ordered cream brûlée. We got the spoons quickly but not the dessert. The chef actually had to bring it out to us. The atmosphere was pleasant. We could hear each other talk. Nice and clean. read more

It was truly the greatest meal of all time. Life will never be the same. Wept tears of joy during each bite. It was absolutely sensational! read more

A great restaurant. Information on daily specials and happy hours are incorrect and need updating.

Nice quiet restaurant with a beautiful bar. No the food is FANTASTIC from soups to salads to steaks and The deserts are to die for Our server (jack)was very helpful and happy. A MUST when in Durango!!! 5 stars ALLL DAY LONG read more

Our experience leads me to believe you need to stick to the basics and not go outside the box. Steak platters looked safe- my H enjoyed his Surf & Turf and the seafood was perfectly done. A party near us had the lettuce wraps and it had a mound of those inedible styrofoam noodles. My seared tuna shareable plate was described as sushi grade ahi. It was not. Chewy, (think steak) No flavor to the tuna, there was a mound of "salad" on the plate with a non descript dressing. The plate was framed in a million cucumber slices that were also flavorless. The waitress was kind and observant, brought me a few dressing choices so that I could try to enjoy the dish, and she came to check on me. I sent the dish back. TIP be aware that if you do not specifically ask for a booth or inside on your res they will seat you in a series of heated stuffy tents in the back. Wine list extremely limited and nothing of note. Waitress was very good. read more

The service was excellent and the food was delicious. It was our anniversary and they made it special for us.

Always great food cooked to perfection. Service is impeccable, drinks on another level! It's one of the main reasons we go to Durango about 4 times a year! read more

I've been coming here for years and years and years. Always get the same main plate salad for dinner. They have recently stopped cooking a fresh chicken breast, and just add some cold precooked chicken instead. When I asked my server about she just said that's "how we do it now". When I told her I'd like a piece of hot chicken instead she said she didn't think she could do anything about it. I asked her to try. The manager came over looking very perplexed, and asked again what I would like them to do. I responded that I would like a fresh hot chicken breast. She then brought a plate and made a big production of scraping the old chicken onto the new plate in the middle of our dinner. I'm not quite sure what the alternative would have been, were they going to reuse it? Just seemed pretty low budget for what used to be such a nice classy place. read more

We ordered the wood plank salmon & the surf & turf special. Both were excellent! Highly recommend.
