Great service! But the fillet mignon was not good quality beef and not lean. It had fat on it. Risotto and green beans we good. If your looking for a steak I would look else where. If you are use to good steaks in Texas, you'll be disappointed if your order a steak. I would not recommend this place for a steak. read more

Wonderful evening We were served by Kyle, he was so attentive,as well as the rest of his team We were served 3 courses and were done in an hour The raw fish on lettuce was delightful The salmon with posole and bacon was so unusual and a great taste discovery So glad we did not miss this dining experience And Durango is the best western town yet read more

Go for Brunch! We had the most amazing Eggs Benedict I have ever experienced. Along with the Bloody Mary's, I will not soon forget the wonderful Brunch four of us had during SnowDown in January 2019. Thanks for the memories! We will be back. read more

We have dined there twice in recent months. It is a lovely place, and our waiter (Chris) was terrific. We ordered some off the same items both times. Sadly, we were rather disappointed with the meal. The Caesar salad was served with a paucity of dressing. The calamari was very over cooked. My husband's trout was over cooked and overly spiced. They have a nice menu but the food definitely needs to be more consistent and properly cooked. read more

Disappointing food and service. We went to dinner at Mahogany Grill based on the positive reviews and a good location. We loved the decor and setting in the historic Strater Hotel. Most of our food was good and we were generally satisfied. However, my wife's steak was overcooked and it took a long time to get it replaced. In fact, everyone else at the table was done when the new steak arrived. We suspect the new steak sat in the kitchen for a while, but it was tasty when served. Our waitress was average and honestly probably had too many tables to serve which resulted in her service being below par for a restaurant with a good reputation and price. We would likely try again when visiting Durango, expecting better service. read more

There are three restaurants at the Strater hotel. I intended to dine at the Mahogany Grille, but since they were booked they directed me to the next door, "The Office". The good thing is that all three restaurants: Mahogany Grilled, The Office and Diamond Belle share the same kitchen. So, even though the office is a more informal and noisier ambience than the Mahogany Grille, we ordered our dinner from the Mahogany Grille menu. Food was good, service was very friendly, even though they were very busy. I recommend the Mahogany Grille for its wonderful ambience. Authentic and very well taken care of and an adequate noise level. I confirmed that the Mahogany Grille offers "Banana Flambee" as dessert made right at your table. This is the only thing that I could not get at the office because the space does not allow them to do that. read more

Other meals - dinner, lunch and even brunch off the menu have been great. This Mother's Day brunch was total disappointment, from start to finish. Weak coffee, dysfunctional high chair, steps up and down to buffet in dark room. Unappetizing food with exception of lobster bisque, prime rib (too rare in some cases), ... otherwise no value and way way too expensive! read more

We dined there May 9 2022. Wait for our food was very long. Everyone's food was served cold. One ordered stuffed squash that came straight out of the refrigerator. She could not put a fork in it. My halibut was playing card size for $40. Don't think it was even halibut. Cold and greasy as were the mashed potatoes. I had an upset stomach the next morning. The manager came out and apologized. Did take off my charge as well as the stuffed squash as she sent it back. My wife ordered chicken that was playing card size for $30. I called and asked for our credit card to be refunded as everyone's food was served cold and most couldn't eat much of it. Never heard back. Definitely will never go back. read more

There is nothing about this restaurant that isn't top-notch - our server Nolan was attentive but didn't hover, the presentation beautiful, and the elk was outstanding. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone desiring a special evening complete with great ambience. read more

Mahogany Grille - Elk with asparagus - New American Near Me - Durango, Colorado

Seriously not a fan. Ordered the shrimp cocktail and they served with over half the shrimp in the cocktail sauce and served with no lemon and price was $15. Also ordered calamari which was under cooked and obviously frozen. Red cabbage side was nothing special but cold slaw. That was served with the salmon which was satisfactory. So disappointed To spend the money here. read more

Very nice place to have dinner. I had prime rib and my wife had a lamb dish. We shared a wonderful piece of raspberry pie for desert. Service was very good and my water glass never ran empty which for a tired tourist is important. read more

We had a party of 12 and the service was slow and often the waiter seemed to be absent. We had mixed feelings about the food. The steak entree and the salmon tamale were excellent while the brisket was fatty and chicken over done. Likewise the Raspberry salad was a winner while the Caesar salad was one of worst we have been served. It is a beautiful dining space but the kitchen is uneven. Not worth the price. read more

I have eaten here twice and both times was left disgusted and disappointed. My food was soggy and undercooked the first time for something as simple as the mahogany breakfast, I expected it to at least be cooked properly. The next day, I went in again and ordered the same thing. This time, I asked for it to be cooked well. They sent out everything burnt. The sausage was black and completely inedible and the hash browns were almost black on one side and had almost raw shredded potatoes underneath. Do not go here for breakfast. The food is not good or cooked properly and the management is even worse. read more

This place does not disappoint! Excellent service and the menu has so many great choices. In our group of four everyone loved what they ordered. I had the butternut squash cannelloni which I recommend and the jalepeno bacon wrapped bison was amazing as well. We stopped next door to their bar The Office and enjoyed a few drinks and a great vibe. We will be back to both on our next visit! read more

Great food! Bacon wrap shrimp as an appetizer is a great way to start dinner. I ordered the flat iron Oscar. Amazing! Definitely recommend. read more

This restaurant has beautiful decor with great food. The spicy tuna roll was sub par but I might be bias because I'm from CA. Their bread however was amazing and well paired with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I had the ribeye and my girlfriend the flank steak and both were cooked to perfection. Probably the best steak I've had in a long time. The only reason why this place is getting 4 stars because the staff seemed undermanned and slow but courteous. read more

We had a great meal here. Our server was LEX. The wine lovers meat and cheese plate was wonderful. The toast was perfectly cooked. We also enjoyed the Gorgonzola stuffed dates wrapped in bacon. Finally, we shared the Kalamata dip and it was nice. Enjoyed red and white wine with great service. read more

The waitress was the only saving grace! We had the calamari, it was very bland and the Mahi-mahi was tough and tasteless. Very disappointed after a long day on the train. read more

Highly disappointed! Wasn't our server's fault. She was great, and the food was also very good. However, they accepted a large group of 15 people, with many small children. This supposedly is a fine dining establishment. After that occurrence, the rest of the restaurant clientele got ignored as everyone paid attention to the big crowd, and again, I do not blame the servers. They were too busy trying to keep the table of 15 at bay. When we realized our "fine dining experience " was truly not going to be finalized, we actually had to ask for our bill to another employee. We were never served again, our extra wine was ignored, and we would still be waiting for dessert to this day. We asked to speak to a manager who was less than interested in our comment, and he even tried to deflect the errors on the whole team. I told him explicitly the error belonged in bad management, by allowing a large, unruly family of 15 to ruin the ambience of a high class restaurant and turn it into a diner, and ignore everyone else. He is truly is in the wrong job. Offered nothing to us, but an unprofessional dismissal. What started out as a great night, turned into a disaster. Don't waste your time or money. Go anywhere else in town. Many other choice. read more

The food was ok... the service was decent... but the place had a really weird feeling. The waiter was a good waiter but strange. And it took 40 minutes to get our food after we ordered. I probably wouldn't eat there again. And I wouldn't suggest it to others. Try to make it to ore house if you can that is the best steak house in town read more

Food is reasonably delicious but I've only eaten breakfast there. Staff is super friendly and professional. The best part however is the amazing building itself. It's part of the Strater Hotel and it's absolutely stunning. Definitely recommended. read more

Again, I had a wonderful meal at Mahogany Grille here in Durango. This is my third evening here and obviously has become my favorite dinning spot. I'm a diabetic and they have the perfect menu for me. Best raspberry vinaigrette dressing on a small salad of assorted mixed greens. My favorite opens up my meal. I love the trout with mixed veggies topped with spinach and small tasty tomatoes. My wife had the perfect cook steak last time but went with a larger salad with the vinaigrette dressing with assorted breads. Whoops, I forgot the great tomato bisque and a small amount of bread with kalamata aoli topping. Read the poor reviews and if you think they have merit. I love talking with the youngsters working here, doing the best they can at entry level positions. They are wonderful and doing great. This Durango, not Scottsdale or Palm Springs. Super job everyone that works at Mahogany Grille!!! read more

Being our first trip to Durango, we chose to have dinner at Mahogany Grill. What a great decision that was! Our server was Ty and he was excellent. After asking if a certain dish was gluten free, he made sure I didn't have croutons on my salad without me even asking and he checked with the chef to be certain the sauce on the filter mignon was also gluten free. The blue cheese dressing was the best My boyfriend has ever had, we both had the filet mignon and it was perfect the service was exceptional and the ambiance of the old building was quaint. I highly recommend Mahogany Grill read more

The food was excellent, thanks to the chef for that. We went for breakfast, and unfortunately the service wasn't great. We got our entrees before we received our drinks. The server had no apologies or even acknowledged how long we waited for coffee. I understand it was early, but I don't think we should wait 5 minutes before being greeted and then another 15 before we received coffee. Someone besides our server brought the food and got us the fruit and toast that was missing from the plate. The server came by at the end of the meal to see if we needed anything. Might need to weed out a few bad servers there because the food was excellent! read more

The menu and atmosphere drew us into the restaurant as we were heading to a different place for dinner. The staff was super friendly, seating us right away. The dining room is nostalgic, the menu appeared to be quite elegant. Our waiter appeared a few minutes later to take our drink order. After a lengthy delay, he apologetically brought our drinks and explained that a computer snafu had affected the ordering system. We ordered our appetizers and sat back to enjoy our drinks. After another delay, our server came back to explain that one of our appetizers was unavailable and suggested an alternative. This is where things really turned south. The cornbread was like a dry cake with mounds of corn and undressed arugula all over it. Strange and anything but delicious. The mushrooms would have been good without the syrupy sweet sauce poured over them. The salmon was cooked to perfection (sauce on the side). The elk tenderloin was cooked perfectly, but again smothered in an uncomplimentary sauce. The risotto was awful and did not appear to be made with Arborio rice. It was a pile of mush. The chef overcomplicates these dishes with a dark, sweet sauce for food that doesn't need it. I felt bad for the waiter as he was helplessly apologetic in the face of an incompetent kitchen staff. Menu needs an overhaul for this place to really shine! Call Gordon Ramsey for help! read more

The food was AMAZING here and the service was exceptional. We started off with the tequila shrimp appetizer and the calamari fritte. Both were very good and the sauce the tequila shrimp were in was something you could bottle up and drink. My teenager got the Mahi Mahi with saffron risotto. He's never had either and he practically scraped his plate clean. I got the stuffed chicken with prosciutto and mozzarella with a mushroom sage brown butter sauce and I had wild rice as my side. It was delicious! Very buttery and rich and creamy. My husband got the elk tenderloin with garlic mashed potatoes and choke cherry demi glacé. Needless to say, we all ate everything on our plate. For dessert he and my son had the flourless chocolate cake, which they said was the best they'd ever had and I had the bread pudding with the whiskey butter caramel sauce and ice cream. We have zero complaints about this place. I've read reviews about people complaining about wearing masks while waiting when they have signs up that specifically say unless you're actively eating or drinking, NOT conversing, you must wear your mask. Patrons should be more patient with businesses trying to stay afloat while trying to follow the COVID guidelines AND making customers have an awesome experience. Mahogany Grille, you made our trip truly memorable with the exceptional experience. I'm sorry we devoured our food before I got any pictures! read more

We had the adult candy appetizer, it was good and we felt the Gorgonzola was maybe a bit understated but still recommended. The black pepper steak Herbert was very good. The pork chop special was a bit chewy but the flavor was good. The wine, a 2008 Spanish Tempranillo on the by-the-glass menu, was excellent, it made the meal (we bought a bottle though). read more

In Durango, CO, we enjoyed a fabulous dinner at MAHOGANY GRILL. For starters, I was adventurous and chose the Octopus & Chorizo Caponata, and my wife chose the Pork Belly & Egg Wellington. Both appetizers were super tasty and delicious! My octopus was surprisingly enjoyable - almost like lobster. Glad I tried it. For entrees, my wife ordered the Pepper Steak Herbert, a peppered beef tenderloin with chutney, potatoes & vegetables - it was perfectly cooked with balanced spices and flavors. I ordered the Pan-Fried Colorado Trout, and it too was perfectly cooked and delicious; it came with bacon, hash, sprouts and apple sauce, which really contributed amazing flavors. We did ask for some Paleo-oriented substitutions and the staff was wonderfully accommodating. Our server India R. was super-efficient and constantly checking on us - made us feel very special! The restaurant's atmosphere is beautiful and romantic - definitely a place to go for special intimate occasions. Prices were very reasonable for such high quality of food. Absolutely highly recommended - not only for dinners, but they serve breakfasts as well. read more

We have visited the Mahogany grill for 15 yrs now. But this is the last time. We were charged $21 for a premium margarita that was $12 just 4 weeks ago. The meal was good but sparse. The server was also good even though this was her second day serving by her own admission. However, when Alex the manager was invited over it was a different scene. He was non apologetic for the extremely high drink price ( two margaritas cost more than the steak meal and I could have bought the entire bottle of tequila for the price of those two margaritas) and he said you have paid the bill and therefore I have no need to speak to you any further. I have held more than a few interview dinners here and attended many business dinners as well totaling well over a few thousand dollars. I will no longer schedule these events and will no longer attend any events planned here. A little common courtesy goes a long way. Gouging patrons and not acknowledging exorbitant prices is a deal breaker. Not to mention, having strong managerial talent can overcome these issues but having managers who don't understand their patrons is a business killer. read more

Terrific waitress Tori guided us and made some suggestions that gave us exactly what we wanted. The ribeye steak was delicious, and huge even though we split it. Dessert: fig, mint and balsamic crème brûlée and chocolate chili mousse were outstanding. We would definitely go back there. read more

Mahogany Grille - New American Near Me - Durango, Colorado

Food gets 5 stars, by the service was very slow. We went on a Tuesday evening in September slow season. Took forever to get the entree'. Once it came it was very well prepared. Just get frustrated as a patron with an hour for a meal to get to the table. The waitress was friendly and a professional, but she must have known this wait time was common, as she did not seem to think anything was out of place. read more

My husband and I were looking for a nice place to have dinner on our last night in Durango and since we had been to The Office ( another restaurant attached to the Strater) a few times thought we would give this a try. I felt for the price and ambience of the restaurant it was not up to par. One of the big complaints was that my wine glass was dirty and you could see fingerprints all over them. Also, the menu they handed me had a greasy smear (looked like a glob of butter) on it and got some kind of oil or grease all over my hands, yuck! I ordered the bread and kalamata olive spread and it was amazing. For dinner I had the corn husked salmon with mashed potatoes and squash and it was very good. My husband ordered the New York Oscar with bernaise sauce and the steak was phenomenal and cooked perfect but The accompaniments were just so-so. For dessert we had the creme brûlée witch was a perfect size for two and it was made expertly. The waiter seemed very busy and was not very attentive to us, but he was training another server who made up for it. The bill came with both entrees over charged. My salmon was billed at 23.50 which was 22.50 on menu and charged us 38.00 for the New York which was $31.50 on the menu. When we brought it to his attention he said there's a glitch with the computer and he can't change the prices in the ticket so he said he would take off the price of the dessert, we accepted this but felt waiter was too flippant and unapologetic for the error. Food was better than the service and cleanliness, but I still would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Returned here in Aug 2017. Rib eye quite fatty but good, Elk was delicious. Kitchen prep very slow. read more

Gee, I just don't know what to say. A friend of mine, my wife and I just finished dinner here and I'm feeling so burned and disappointed by our experience. We all started with cocktails. They were excellent, but I wished I'd known that a RobRoy cost $18 a piece. My wife's $8 martini was fair. The bread basket rolls with kalamata olive spread were also good, especially the cheese/chive muffins. I had an unremarkable bowl of onion soup that seemed like a warmed-up item off the food service truck. My friend and my wife both had the chicken piccata "special" that included dry and woody asparagus, a surprisingly light amount of sauce, and a chicken breast that was anything but special. When the bill was presented I then learned that these "specials" were over $22.50 each. My entree was a rack of baby back ribs that were average at best as they were fairly dry. I will say the meat came off the bone nicely. The coleslaw had no dressing and the barbecue beans were clearly out of a can. Fortunately our servers were polite and attentive or otherwise it would have been a one star meal. By the time we were finished our check was $156 with tip leaving me with a very unpleasant taste in my mouth. I won't be returning in the future. read more

Hubby, kiddo and I had a celebratory dinner here tonight and it was wonderful. My glass of proseco was cold and bubbly. Our water glasses were always full. The bread and olive spread were tasty. The best part was my entree: chargrilled ribeye with a potato and cotija cheese stuffed chile relleno. Absolutely delicious and beautifully plated. We will definitely make this part of our Durango tour when we are in town. read more

I'll start by saying the food was good. But the service was terrible. I asked for orange juice twice and never recieved it. Later I asked for water and that never came. There wasnt sugar and cream on the table for coffee, those also had to be asked for. The server didn't write down our order so when I asked for sausage my dish came with bacon. When the breakfast did show up we had to hunt down our server to ask for silverware. We waited to for a greeting and then a longer wait to order. By the end of it we wanted to just get out of there so we left a larger tip than we wanted so we didn't have to wait for the server any longer. read more

Not that great and the prices are sky high... go to the ore house if you want a high priced meal that taste great. I had a salad with blue cheese... how do you mess up a salad... yuck! read more

Delicious food, wonderful service and a beautiful setting! What more could one ask for? We loved it!
