Great meal, great service and great ambiance. We ate there while in town last week and really enjoyed our time. We shared an entre and they were so accommodating in splitting the plate nicely. Enjoyed a nice cocktail and glass of wine. Please visit if you are in town and looking for a classy place with great food and drink! read more

Stopped in to this lovely bar/restaurant with beautiful copper accents. The wine list and food was up to snuff. A pleasant surprise! The sushi rolls were delicious, about 10 pieces. We tried the special roll -spicy tuna with a thin slice of jalapeño on top. Yum! They also had a swordfish special. I believe it was the best cooked swordfish I have ever had. It was served with roasted zucchini strips and a basil risotto. All good healthy and filling. To top it off we tried the small circle size cheesecake that came with peaches, a macadamia toffee and peach sorbet. 3 desserts in one. Yay! Well done team! read more

This was our first visit, and what a lovely surprise - it's one of the very special restaurants that respect the kid's menu, with good food options and the same level of excellence as adult food choices. For this kind of restaurant, Yelp should open a new higher rating with 6 or 7 stars. read more

Wah! 3.5! Sorry Eolus but I was just not crazy impressed given the high reviews and the fine dining mystique. Pros: my seafood/lobster pasta situation was sooooo delicious. My mouth is actually watering now to remember it. It's was so buttery and creamy mmmmm. And the waitress was very sweet and attentive as is expected at nice establishments like this one! The space is also nice and romantic. Cons: I got a cocktail that was horrrrrible! I can't remember what it was, but it tasted like lighter fluid. And before you jump on me about "maybe I just don't like alcohol" or "don't know what I'm talking about" I'm pretty positive that I chose some girly fruit drink and MAN it was strong and yeah. Tasted bad. It was beyond well liquor bad so I don't know what happened there. Also their bread and other food was so so. It was fine! But for the price and the hype it's not worth it. read more

This was a wonderful dinner they had specialty items that were very unique and greet for the taste buds we sat on the roof for the sunset service staff was excellent drinks were spectacular food was presented perfectly read more

I was in Durango for business for two consecutive weeks. My first time visiting the area and I was very happy to see the number of restaurant choices available in a town of Durango's size. We ate at a majority of the places on Main Street during the course of our trip, and Eolus was HANDS DOWN my favorite "formal dining" experience. It was so good, we went back twice. Even though we are not locals, our server from the previous week came back to say hello, and our server the second time must have found out what we drank the last time we were there the last time, because he offered to bring the same type of wine. The manager overheard me wondering about a drink and stopped immediately (even though I didn't realize he was standing behind me) to help. In other words, top notch service. I am vegan and was able to enjoy their veggie roll (aioli on the side), their warm beet salad (goat cheese on the side), and a quinoa vegetable main course. I couldn't finish my entree because I was absolutely STUFFED, but everything was so good, I happily took it for leftovers. The restaurant itself is nice inside. The weather during our stay was not at all conducive to sitting outside, so I definitely look forward to sitting out on Eolus' patio next time I am in town for work. I appreciate how hard our servers worked on both visits (Tom on the first, Josh on the second) to keep our glasses full and our mouths watering. Would highly recommend to anyone. And it is not a bad idea to make a reservation--their website reservation platform works great. read more

This is one of my top go-to places in Durango. I have always had an amazing experience every time I go. Even when I am there for happy hour, I get the same experience as if I were there later for a regular dining experience. I will update once I have visited the rooftop, but so far, surprisingly, I always seem to be inside. The atmosphere is a little on the darker side, but it compliments the restuarant and feel so well. The food is always full of flavor and with great portions. I have been to Eolus on so many occasions and whether it is steak, seafood or veggies, it is always the best. read more

I have nothing good to say about the this restaurant. Food quality and execution - poor. Service - slow, not attentive. Menu - uninspiring and lacks creativity. Sent meals back due food sitting in the window too long, cold and lacked texture. Do not waste your time or money! Only positive is that the chef is gluten free and knows how to manage a GF menu (per the server) Still should be good food! read more

Really super good. Except I asked for rare and he talked me into med rare & then the med rare was cooked medium.... so the steak that day was NOT what I wanted........... everything else was AMAZeeee read more

I stopped in Durango for a business trip. Locals had mentioned how great Eolus was, and it lives up to the praise. Eolus is the former Cosmos. I guess not much has changed except for the name. Service was top notch and seating is offered both inside or on the rooftop, which offers incredible views. I had to try the lobster burger. Yes, it sounded very odd to me, but I had to try it ($25). It was very good, very decadent. The beef was cooked to a perfect medium, which is what I ordered. I also had the Mexican Lager on draft and a bottle of Durango Brewing Co's Amber ale. The amber was a great pairing with the burger. I will definitely return to Eolus if I return to Durango. read more

This place was a bit confusing. Italians with an Asian twist- the food was delicious. We ordered tomato soup, Cesar salad two sushi rolls and the scallops. The scallops and the soup were my favorite. The rolls were big and very tasty as well. Very interesting place for sure. read more

Ok. I hardly rate 5 starrrr but this place is a true gem. Visiting in Colorado and checking Yelp for where to go. I went with my gut and headed here. I went with kids and once I got there realized it was for a grown up crowd but kids were welcomed. All of our food rocked. Calamari for app. I had surf n turf, son the Salmon and husband the steak. All amazing. I got a local draft. Um yum! We enjoyed it all. Austen was a true delight! And the fact we all got served at once was a bonus!!! Go and Enjoy! read more

Classy place! We got there about 40 mins to close. They were very welcoming and hospitable. Our waiter was prompt and efficient. He was very knowledgeable about the specials and other entrees. We ordered the Calamari to start with a couple Old Fashioned's and a Dirty Gin and Tonic. For our entrees we got the Prime Rib Two Ways and a Surf and Turf (Filet with Lobster). The mashed potatoes were delightful. The steaks were tender and flavorful. The atmosphere was quiet with the lighting having a soft hue. Definitely recommend! read more

Wow what a wonderful surprise this evening. I have eaten ate all the best foodie places in Durango and I had the best meal in Durango I have every had at Eolus tonight. I had the saffron cappellini and it was simple incredible. I have had compelling food moments in SF, NYC and while traveling and I have to put this meal in the top 5. I am still wishing I was still eating that wonderful dish. The saffron tomato broth was simply a delight and full of depth and flavor. Scallops, salmon, lobster, shrimp, calamari and oh so much love. It was so fantastic. The flavors were buttery and luscious yet somehow light and well balanced. I have spent so much more for meals that did not compare to this dish and I left thinking "that is why I try new places". Gems like this keep the foodie in me always hunting.. If you get a chance please try this dish. Damn I wish I were staying another day so I could go back and eat it again tomorrow. :) happy eating! read more

I was majorly disappointed by our meal here. We went to Eolus to celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary and sat on the rooftop as we thought it would be romantic. It was okay, way too many people for it to be intimate or romantic. Moving on to the food--we had the special sushi for an appetizer which was excellent. We really went to town on it. However, that's where the good food stopped. My husband had the prime rib two ways, which he did not enjoy. The flavor profile was weird and he didn't even finish his plate. I had the seafood in saffron broth. It had very little flavor and had literally one scallop in it. Very disappointing. My bowl was basically all noodles and shrimp. Blech! and not worth the money. I would definitely not return. read more

This was our anniversary dinner. As requested, they were sure to get us a quiet table in a part of the place where we could have some privacy and where it was quiet enough for some conversation. The service and food were both excellent (seafood stew and duck breast). In honor of our anniversary we were offered free desserts, which we took home. We can't express enough how much we enjoyed excellent food, the competent staff, and a quiet table. read more

First, the dishes and pictures depicted at the Yelp page for this restaurant are positively not associated with this restaurant. Secondly, the high star rating can only be due to the fact that many tourist must be contributing to the reviews. I say this because it is common knowledge in the industry that tourist will eat slop and still call it good if they have a nice evening on their vacation. Not to say Eolus is serving slop.... The truth is that this is a tourists oriented restaurant. While the food is never really bad, it is distinctly uninspiring, not very imaginative, and wildly overpriced. On the positive side, their drinks are pretty good and, after a few, maybe the food is not so important..... read more

First time here. Had 5 and 3 course meals for Valentines and it was fair to good depending on the course served, but not great. The steak and pork chop both over cooked. After appetizer getting ordered wrong, didn't want to say much more. Long wait between entree and dessert as well. Was here a little over 2 hours and watched many people come and go while we waited. Not to sure what was the hold up. read more

My friend and I took a trip to Durango and out of all the cute restaurants and bars I'm glad we walked into this one. The waiter Barney was so great and attentive. Many times you go into a really classy place with expensive food and leave a little disappointed because it wasn't what you expected. This left no disappointment. Great restaurant and amazing food! read more

This was our dining choice for our first night of a four night girl's trip, The rooftop patio dining was absolutely lovely, and the food was fantastic. The downstairs bar is very cool, lively crowd, ask the bartender to try the Tra Kal, A very strong liqueur hailing from Patagonia area, most excellent food choice for foodies!!! read more

My Wedding Reception Was Perfect! Eolus recently hosted my wedding reception and I could not be happier. They have a private room on the second floor with beautiful views of Durango and the surrounding mountains. It also has a private restroom and bar area for your guests. The staff was professional and courteous. Everyone at my wedding commented on how amazing the food and drinks were. I received many #BestSteakEver comments. My husband and I will be celebrating many more of our milestones at Eolus with their yummy Pork Osso Bucco and Thai Tinis. I cannot recommend Eolus highly enough. read more

Hadn't been to Eolus in a few years and I had forgotten what a great place it is. Stellar service, a hip vibe to the place and. . . did I mention. . amazing food. I had the Hanger steak which was perfectly cooked and was mouth-watering delicious. My husband had a chopped salmon salad that was almost so beautiful it could have been a cover photo forBon Appetit! I had a garden side salad that was a perfect prelude to my meal. The desserts were tempting, but I held off this visit. A real treat ( weather permitting ) is their rooftop dining. But it is enclosed and heated and gives a new location for a standout meal. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed Eolus. Delicious food at reasonable prices. Excellent service. Good drinks selection. Pity it's not located near us in CA!! read more

Was looking for a wine bar and found this place on Maine street. We came in time for happy hour and had great deals on wine and food. Tried two different sushi and they where both great. Nice wine selection and great service. read more

I loved this place! I sat at the bar and the bartender was so helpful in helping me make hard decisions about the menu! I got an amazing cocktail (thai tini) and chopped salad with house made smoked salmon (literally chunks of salmon with a smokey flavor). I got the small portion which was a good deal and fine for a snack which I had wanted -but it was so good I should've ordered more! I would definitely come back!! read more

​Visited Durango in November, ate at Eolus restaurant on Main for dinner. It was good, if over priced, but as someone who is interested in patronizing ​business where the owners treat their employees with respect and dignity, I was quite disturbed to witness the manager (or owner?), very angry and using much profanity, berating a server. (I was passing the kitchen while coming down the stairs from the rooftop deck). The server had waited on us, and was very attentive, knowledgeable, and gave excellent service. The lack of respect and level of anger the manager showed was very unprofessional! We will not be eating at Eolus next time we're in town! read more

Stopped in for a couple of cocktails and some appetizers. The calamari was the best! The sushi rolls were delicious and our bar tender Noah was top notch. Wish we would have stayed for dinner! Next time. read more

Always get great service, the staff is well trained and friendly. We enjoyed scallops, salads, homemade bread. Our steaks came with mashed potatoes and spinach. I tried the delicious chocolate trio dessert. They have excellent burgers too. This place is in my top 3 in Durango. read more

Decided to try Eolus on a friend's recommendation. The food was good...but not great. For the price and menu description, I didn't feel it all fit the bill. Made a reservation and ended up in a rather awkward spot despite being there at 6pm. I get the feeling regulars don't face such a dilemma. Considering all the other great food to be had in Durango, this won't be on the list for a return visit. read more

In town for bonus and found this gem. Nice atmosphere, great food, and wonderful service. Highly recommend the calamari....nicely done! read more

We just moved here from Southern California and this is hands down our most favorite place for drinks and dinner. The quality of food is something you might find in New York, San Fran and Chicago as well as the service. The owners are phenomenal in caring for their customers. The wait staff is elegant and take care of your every need. The bar is our favorite place to sit. Truly exemplary menu entrees and specials with a staff that makes you feel at home. read more

Went here over the summer and was severely disappointed. We originally wanted to go to Ken & Sue's but they were booked so we made a reservation at Eolus as their menu sounded amazing. They had a really nice selection of wine, the soup was really good, but the sushi appetizer was not fresh or flavorful. The service was a little lacking as well. Very snobbish that we didn't order full meals, just drinks, soups and a couple of appetizers. Still $100. I'm ok with pricy restaurants but I expect the quality to be in line with pr read more

Just celebrated our 50+ anniversary. Superb service. Meal was perfectly prepared. What a treat. A very memorable meal.

Absolutely amazing dinner. My husband had the hanger steak and it was delicious. I had the filet mignon and it was cooked to perfection. Service is excellent , highly recommend this restaurant. read more
