“What a beautiful experience.

From the ambiance to the last bite, everything about this dinner was incredible. The atmosphere was perfect for a night out cozy but elevated. The food was outstanding.

Our server Kostainyn made the evening unforgettable. His service was impeccable: professional, friendly, and so attentive. He remembered details, offered great suggestions, and created a dining experience that felt personal and special. It’s rare to encounter someone who cares so much about making guests feel welcome.

We could not have been more pleased with the service, the food, and the atmosphere. This is absolutely a place we’ll return to, and we’re already telling friends to go.

Please make sure to recognize Kostainyn. He is outstanding and deserves every bit of praise. Thank you for a wonderful night.“

“We made reservations almost 1 month in advance for Monday 8/24/26 for dinner and was called weeks later to cancel our reservation because they would be closed M-T-W that week. Asked if I wanted to reschedule for Thursday. We already made dinner reservations for every night of our trip CO so I had to rearrange our dinner reservations and so I called back to schedule for 8/27 Thursday. When we arrived at the grand Hyatt Vail on Monday 8/24/26, the restaurant was open and running Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday- No one had any information as to why our reservations were cancelled. Food was great and server was great. Host and hostesses were tolerable.“

“Had a low expectation when walked in after reading all the negative reviews on here. But actually to my surprise, food was pretty decent. Miso soup however, was super salty, even after I asked our waitress to make it less salty… I don’t think their sushi is as low quality as market grade as some reviews say. They have a small menu though..“
