Naan bread hummus potatoes
Ava V.

Great food, service was interesting. Not sure if I would go back but it is worth a shot to try for yourself. The shrimp dish with the orzo was my favorite dish.

Desserts menu - chocolate cookies, olive oil cake, vanilla custard tart

We loved our dinner at Amara! Highlights included flaming saganaki, grilled dates, table-side tinned fish, a beautiful beef tagine for the table, and the most delicious warmed olive oil cake. Plus, a super fun and fairly priced wine list. 10/10 and will return often. Welcome to the neighborhood, this is a place Carbondale can be incredibly proud of!

Grilled shrimp, salt crusted beef tenderloin, candied carrots & Greek potatoes

We booked a reservation last minute and were overly satisfied! From the second we walked in, everyone was incredibly friendly and attentive. I had an aperol spritz and rosé that they recommended to go with the grilled shrimp. We started with the fish crisp and hummus and both were insanely delicious. Our mains were equally incredible -- grilled shrimp, tenderloin, candied carrots and Greek potatoes. We can't wait to come back!

The food is inconsistent. Extremely poor management of employees and patrons. Absent owners.

Vin 48 - Crème brûlée and carrot cake

VIN 48 is in Avon, just down the road from Vail Village and close to where we were staying in our…read moreAirbnb. After some deliberation about where to go for dinner, we landed here, and I'm very glad we did. It has a nice upscale feel without being over the top, and the menu has great options that really prioritize locally sourced ingredients like meats and veggies. To start, we split the smoked trout dip, which came with voodoo chips. It was a great combination with good flavor, and it wasn't over the top smoky. We also had the artisanal cheese plate with toasted baguettes, three kinds of cheese, and three kinds of jam to try. There was one cow's milk cheese and two goat cheeses, and the jams were great. For my main, I had the pan-seared Colorado striped bass, which was delicious and light. It was served over a sweet corn risotto with baby zucchini and a tomato jam, and the combination of flavors was fantastic. The sweet corn risotto was great, the zucchini was solid, and the tomato jam was quite interesting and added a fun element to the dish. For dessert, we were debating between the carrot cake and the chocolate mousse. We were eating with a vegetarian and noticed the carrot cake had something that was fried in beef tallow (indicated on the menu), so we happily went with the chocolate mousse on our waiter's recommendation, and it was elite. It was about half a tennis ball in size, with a hard chocolate shell on the outside and an espresso-flavored cream around it, kind of like a whipped cream texture, plus some toasted caramel toppings. My sister said it might be the best chocolate mousse she's had. We also had two glasses of Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley, which paired great with our meal. Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area.

This was a perfect date night spot! We started out with the mussels which were delicious; the bread…read moreit was served with was phenomenal. My other favorite dish we had was the fried quail. I had never had it before but it was so crispy and delicious with the honey on top. The mushroom risotto was just okay, but I love mushroom risotto so I can be kinda picky about it. The ambiance was perfect & the broccolini with ricotta was another thing that stood out.
