“Basecamp is a great event space on the outskirts of town with Lost Hiker beer on tap, but I don't think it's been open since the fire. Highly recommend when open, but you can also go to the cute taproom in the middle of town! They brew their own beer with just the right amount of selection, and also have some great merchandise for souvenirs. Definitely stop here--support local, as the community is recovering from the devastating fire and mudslides.”

“A small 8-table restaurant tucked into a corner of a small shopping plaza in Midtown Ruidoso. Relatively unimpressive UNTIL one tries the food. The sashimi and sushi were both excellent and the fish very fresh. One of the best sushi restaurants that I have tried from coast to coast. We will be eating at this establishment every time we come to Ruidoso. I would have given a solid 5 star review except that the sashimi pieces were smaller than what most sushi restaurants serve. But the food was EXCELLENT!”

“We had a large party that came in at 8:45 to celebrate a birthday and waited to be sat for a bit. May Lucero was our waitress and she was and always is awesome. Where most servers get annoyed at serving a large party so late in the evening, she served us with a smile and did a fabulous job! Servers should learn from her! We had a great evening because of her and she took great care of us.”
