I have Celiac disease and a shellfish allergy. The restaurant, chef's and staff accommodated my dietary needs. Our server Dale was great and helped me navigate through the menu. Yummy food, great drinks and a delicious meal for our 35th wedding anniversary. We will be back next year and return to the restaurant for another wonderful meal. Thank you for taking care of me so I could have a great meal and a great experience !

We always book for special occasions. The team is always top tier. On this night, Dan was outstanding!

Great dining experience! Easy to get reservation Wednesday night, server awesome! Super helpful managing our food sensitivities. Nice decor. Food good. Fried sushi roll amazing!
Ann
The waitstaff was great and the food came out in a timely manner. The sushi selection was very basic, the kanpachi was excellent but the maguro was lacking good flavor.

This is hands down one of Durango's best dining experiences. The professionalism of the staff is excellent. The craft cocktails made with local fruit like Palisade peaches are absolutely delightful. But the showstopper is the food. You feel like you are dining on a work of art. The combination of flavors along with the creativity with regard to the presentation is unmatched. Not only are you awestruck by what comes out to your table, it's almost impossible not to look around at the other plates that are being delivered and other patrons asking the Expos and servers what the name of that dish is. I highly recommend East by Southwest whether it be for a special occasion, or their happy hour, or enjoying a staycation by enjoying something a little bit exotic. The only recommendation I have is that you should read their menu when you make your reservation because there are so many different choices if you don't have a little bit of an idea going in it might take you a long time to order.

We loved East by Southwest! The food was inventive and really good. Our waiter helped us with the menu and we picked out appetizers and entrees that we liked. Best Brussels sprouts I've ever had. Drinks were good too. Service was attentive so overall a great night.
Jill
Jordyn, the waitress, was incredibly attentive to us. The food and cocktails were delicious, as always.

We were sat at a table in the area not part of the main dining room. It was a large horseshoe table. The table is too small for the space, leaving all of us sitting on the edge of the booth seats just so we could reach the table. Awful! So uncomfortable. Our server, cant remember her name, was not good. She forgot drinks, second drink orders were forgotten too. I actually went to the bar to get my drink because she never brought it to me. It was sitting at the bar waiting for her to bring it to me! But it was the wrong drink. I ordered a Mexi Lager, she said you don't have that but there is Modelo. So I ordered a Modelo. When I went to the bar to get my own drink (because the server forgot us), it was Modelo dark. I don't like Modelo dark. So your awesome bartender helped me out with the correct drink. We all wanted to order more drinks, but we figured because it took sooooo long to get our first drinks, we just didn't get another one. This was a family gathering and we were all so frustrated. Back to the table, you all need to fix that! Get longer tables, or something. Sitting with my butt cheeks barely on the booth, I was uncomfortable. It will be awhile before we go back to your restaurant.

We really enjoyed our visit to East by Southwest! The food and service were really good. Love the vibe...bustling and a little noisy, but not over the top loud. We ended up visiting with the table next to us which doesn't reflect on the restaurant, but they were a wonderful couple and it just added to our evening. Love that we could easily walk from our AirBNB on Main as well. We recommend East by Southwest 100%!
As always, East by Southwest is the best dining experience! The service was amazing, and the food is incredible.

Always delicious food and attentive service. I love that they have gluten free options as well. One of our favorites in Durango.
Andrew
Had an early reservation, which was a great idea--very busy on Saturday night! Rainbow roll was perfect, as was the Waygu beef. Our waitperson was wonderful and service was unobtrusive but instant and friendly. We talked ourselves into dessert, and the Strawberry shortcake was wonderful.

We went for my daughter-in-law's birthday. The service was fine, food was good and drinks (we didn't order alcohol) were fine. There was no mention made of our special occasion which seems to be the norm nowadays. It's too bad. I was ask when making the reservation on OpenTable if it was a special occasion which I specified. So, why do you ask if the restaurant isn't going to acknowledge the guest? It's curious. 🤨
Opentable Diner
Great place to celebrate! We had a lovely meal. I highly recommend the wagu beef platter for kids who don't eat fish and want to do a table top cooking experience.
