Super unprofessional. Also have never seen a bartender fill a shot glass 3/4ths the way to the top when measuring a drink, then get defensive & call a patron the b word after being called out on it. Not sure if all the other bartenders are as entitled and rude as the blonde one whose face didn't move & reeked of cigarettes, but if I were you I'd avoid this place.

Quality food. Nice atmosphere…read more Horrible service. Having frequented this place many times, I'm always amazed at the painstaking lengths that the owner went to provide a pleasant dining experience, good food, high quality ingredients, and a pretty excellent value relationship-- Only to hire incompetent servers. Tonight I was placed alone next to a window, with the server barely spending more than 10 seconds waiting on me--in 50 minutes. Instead, he doted over all of the large groups in my vicinity, promised me a refill on the iced tea, watched me sit there waiting for 30 minutes for a refill, and never provided such. You got it. When I was handed the electronic payment machine...Yupp... he literally stares me down like a back alley shakedown artist. In addition to wearing a scuzzy unkept beard, not advisable for food servers, right?, he actually seems visibly upset when I gave him 16% tip, even asking me "was something wrong?" I know that we are in a small town, and Durango is feeling its growing pains, transitioning from a mountain/railroad rural tourist haven to a high profile mountain resort. But this was so obvious, that it ruined the experience. The burger was well executed and had a nice patina, offering a rewarding crunchy patty exterior. The marinade the patty was placed in was great as well. The bun was high quality and so too was the blue cheese and fried onion strings.

My husband and I had the NY strip, our friends had the black cod and the filet. All of us were pleased. It IS pricy but Tessa gave us excellent service and there was no complaint when I asked to substitute sliced tomatoes for a side. I do wish there were some non-starch/lower carb sides. The Caesar salad was good, as well. We will go back for a special occasion and hopefully partake of a starter and a dessert! They looked great as they went by, in the way to other tables.

We asked for a different table away from door but hostess said they were completely booked out and none available. We look around the restaurant and several tables empty. After ordering cocktails, it took 20 minutes to arrive, then made the mistake of ordering dinner after we received our cocktails and then waited another 55 minutes food. Both food and cocktails very overrated for price they are charging even for Durango. By the way, after being there almost 2hours there were several tables still available, hostess had lied. Beware, this is not even close to the Old Ore House for quality of product and service.

If you are craving pasta in Durango, this is definitely the spot to check out. I stopped in on a…read moreTuesday night to load up on carbs before a big hike the next day. The wait for a table was a bit longer than I expected, but once I sat down, the food more than made up for it. I started with the Baked Meatball Grinder as an appetizer. The meatball itself was tender and flavorful, but the baguette was on the tougher side, which made it a little hard to bite into. Still, the taste of the meatball carried the dish. For my main course, I ordered the Bolognese with Salmon as my protein, and this ended up being the highlight of the meal. The pasta was cooked just right, the salmon was perfectly prepared, and the wagyu beef sauce tied everything together beautifully. Honestly, if I was not so full, I could have easily gone for another plate. Overall, this place is a good choice in Durango if you are in the mood for hearty Italian comfort food. I will definitely be back the next time I am in town.

The venture started on a cold and snowy day in Wichita, Kansas. I wanted to schedule a trip for myself and my three sons, so I began to look at traveling to Costa Rica. The trip soon expanded and included two of my childhood friends who brought their sons. Eight people went on the trip. As I searched the Internet, I came across Daniel Ross' business-scheduling trips to Costa Rica. His internet sites are: Jacobeachvacations.com; gofishing.com and bachelorpartybaycr.com. We wanted a day of fishing and other activities such as surfing and touring on ATVs. After I told Dan what we wanted, he masterfully arranged the entire trip, including transportation from, and to, the airport. We elected to have to meals provided for us. Each meal was absolutely superb. All of Dan's group was so nice, polite, and helpful. Before I booked the trip with Daniel, I did a Google search of his name and the AI portion connected Daniel to the business that he actually runs plus a used car business that he has nothing to do with. Because of the AI report, I had serious concerns about dealing with him. After talking to Daniel, I discovered that there was no concern. I am thankful that I trusted my instincts, and not the AI portion of Google, because he gave us a trip of a lifetime. I have absolutely no concerns about dealing with Daniel's group or recommending that others use his services. I've traveled a lot during my life and the whole trip was well-planned by Daniel and just fantastic. There were no hiccups or problems with the trip. Thank you Dan and your fantastic crew for providing a bucket list trip at an affordable price.

I asked Dan for a refund of my $1000 deposit which I have failed to receive.  Dan continues to lie and gives stories about him being in and out of the hospital but he still continues to answer other people's calls and books trips. Dan then made excuses of him coaching pneumonia but continues to monitor his phone. If he can monitor his phone or answer the phone he can transfer the $1000 back to my zelle.

Fantastic speakeasy find in dwntwn Durango!…read more A pw is required, but it's on their Insta. It's a functioning barber shop by day and awesome prohibition-era speakeasy by night. I was sat in the back room cuz the front bar was full. It was nice and quiet & there was an additional bar in the back. Great curated "author & bibliophile" themed libation menu. I had the St Vincent Millay (their version of a between the sheets) and it was made to classic perfection! They also have an extensive spirits menu; I always like to try local so I had a shot of 1874 San Luis Valley American Whiskey (a 3-Grain Whiskey using local rye, barley, and wheat, highlighting regional sourcing). Price-point is in line w/current mixologist cocktail costs. Definitely worth checking out!
