SUMMARY: Mediocre food…read more Despite the great reputation, well adorned facility, stellar location, and impressive menu, everything I ordered proved consistently disappointing. Calling this food ordinary is, at best, an overstatement. At each turn, my efforts invoked in salvaging the (food) entries was met with failure. Starting with a simple Caesar salad, the lettuce tasted several days old. Drenched in ordinary tasting salad dressing, the romaine lettuce became soggy from the presence of excessive dressing. The dressing was too strong in taste, akin to store bought lower priced varieties, and from this, proved difficult to eat. The portion was generous, however. WARNING: Do not order the minestrone soup. To explain: The minestrone soup proved ultra disappointing. With the amount that I paid, $12, for a bowl, I was expecting it to be of meal-like quality. Instead, it was also challenging to consume, being so vinegary, possessing a handful of some tomato slices and little else. It arrived lukewarm. Instead of ample carrots, beans, celery, onion, etc., with typically a delicious broth, all that I could detect was slimy tomato slices in a pool of vinegar. The "chef" needs to study quality minestrone soup recipes and completely start over, especially if customers are charged $12 for such. I was so looking forward to a quality and hearty minestrone soup. I haven't tasted anything so pathetic yet simultaneously overpriced, in years. Have they tasted this? It pains me to speak so passionately about something like this. But it was a disaster. The house bread? It was crunchy, also seeming to be dated, not stale, just not fresh. It wasn't warm. It was dry. The garlic butter was fine, but following the theme, ordinary, at best. I tried everything to make at least the bread come alive, heaping massive piles of garlic butter on it. Nothing could rescue the bread either. No olive oil was to be found anywhere on the table or tables in my vicinity. Very friendly staff was present, but their inexperience and lack of polish became annoying. Whatever virtue that the "soup" might have had was lost as it got even colder while she was talking ceaselessly to me. Yes, it arrived lukewarm before she was conversing. Friendly service, even if awfully informal, can't compensate for such a poor price - value relationship and mediocre food. I cannot recommend this restaurant. Perhaps they do a superior job on pasta dishes. Yet, upon perusing the menu, I couldn't find just a small or half portion of spaghetti. A jr. high aged boy near me somehow managed to order a small plate of spaghetti. While it looked ordinary, such would likely have proven sufficient tonight, even if such was likely only available on the children's menu. If this restaurant once served fresh and delicious food, something, at least of late, has woefully gone awry in the kitchen.

Read the reviews before visiting which were generally positive about the food. I disregarded the…read morecomments about noise thinking it was an exaggeration. They were NOT! The noise level ruined the whole experience. I measured the db on my watch and it was typically mid 80's. I even saw a reading of 90 db! This means wait staff should be wearing hearing protection! The owners need to invest in some sound dampening panels or other technology. Food was average. We had a Cesar salad which was quite flavorful and crisp. We also had the elk cannelloni which was bland. I would not recommend the restaurant until the noise issues are addressed and perhaps try a different menu selection.

It feels like the focus has shifted more toward profit than maintaining the level of food they used to be known for. The difference is pretty obvious. Unfortunately, my last experience was the tipping point--I got sick after eating there, which makes it hard to justify going back. If you're looking for better quality food and more attentive service, I'd recommend checking out other spots in town, like the Hideout.

I've tried the elk, the lamb, the seasonal fish, and bites of duck stolen off the plates of others -- all have been perfectly cooked, with unique sauces or marinades, and out-of-this-world sides. We are also big fans of the bread service, and this years Pink Banana Squash Soup, inspired by Chef John's recent travels. You cannot miss this spot if you're in town!

The staff was warm and helpful, and being greeted by the chef made the experience feel so personal. We chose the 3-course tasting menu and everything was outstanding, from the fresh, warm bread to the flavorful beef tartare and rich foie gras. The tagliolini with shaved truffles and the lamb chops were perfectly prepared, and desserts like the warm crumb cake and crème brûlée were the perfect finish. We were in the mood for cocktails and the ones we enjoyed that evening was Margarita d'Agave and Sangria. It's more than just a meal, it's a true dining experience that's worth every penny.

I'm not even sure if I can recommend this place to my friends. Pricey is an understatement!…read moreI'm not going to lie, I enjoyed the food and the portion was generous but we misread the menu and thought the salad with lobster was $26, when in reality that was only the addition of lobster. The overall price was $45 for the strawberry and walnut salad with lobster. Ouch! My friend ordered a Cesar salad with lobster and it was $40. Including two sodas and one cup of clam chowder (for my friend) our bill was $120, not including tip. This was lunch, not dinner. Service was good. And the place has sitting outside, which is in the shade but it's wood benches that are very hard and uncomfortable. Again, food is not bad, but I don't think I will come back. Sorry!

a minute ago New Oof…read more Rarely write reviews but want to warn people. Took us 30 minutes before a waitress came over, and that was only after my husband went to the bar to order us drinks. He said the bartender appeared to be the manager and was cursing at the wait staff. Finally ordered and food came out 30 minutes later and was cold. Waiters tried to deliver drink orders several times that were not ours, and one time spilled them everywhere. My favorite part was watching a restaurant absolutely melt down, with numerous, visibly unhappy tables and a staff in disarray, all while the owner Butch drank a beer with a smile on his face, not a care in the world. Clear that locals and friends of the proprietor are keeping the place busy, so don't expect it to change. But maybe let them keep this place for themselves, it was a truly hilarious disaster.

After my 1st day snowboarding, due to our lack of snow this winter, Vail had the best forecast, and…read moreI happily rode 7 runs in 2-hours, and was then starving, after also skipping lunch. Since I'd parked at Lions Head, before I returned to Denver, I considered the Vail Chophouse, as their menu looked delicious, however when I went inside, the live music was so loud - even with my noise-canceling headphones still in- that I still couldn't hear, and knew I'd blow out my ear drums. Enter: Montauk Seafood Grill, the perfect antidote, with an equally appealing menu, and a much more serene ambiance. :-) Given I was famished, I asked my wonderful server, Brenn, for recommendations, and she was - hands down - one of the best servers I've had, in a long time. She was friendly, attentive, honest, and an all around delight. I started by asking her suggestion, as to if I should order the "Blood Moon" or "Happy Coconut" mocktail, and she recommended the Blood Moon, which was delicious! I love Blood Orange, and it had the perfect combination of mint, to be both sweet & sour. I needed a mocktail, given I was driving back to Denver, after dinner. She then brought me delicious Rosemary Sourdough and Citrus Butter, as a starter, which was fantastic, especially given I needed all the carbs, from skipping lunch, riding so much, and from fasting the night before, for a prior medical appointment, that morning, in Denver, hence my late start, snowboarding. Then I ordered - and loved - the Point Reyes Blue Cheese Crusted Filet Mignon, medium rare, with the most delicious asparagus I've ever had, and I was grateful that they could make my truffle potatoes, whipped, instead of hash brown style. I ended my delicious dinner with a cappuccino, for the drive home. Perfection!

What really sets Garlic Mike's apart is their ability to handle a busy restaurant atmosphere while still delivering attentive, friendly, and professional service. Even on the busiest nights, the staff makes you feel welcomed and well taken care of. A true Gunnison gem and a place I love coming back to again and again.
