"The food was not very good. The pad thai was odd in taste, but ok. The trout with spaghetti squash was soaked in oil, which was needless and changed it from a lit dish to very heavy. The kids udon with butter was tasteless. The sushi was standard and nithing special. For the price this place charges you would expect something amazing. Instead, you get food that is very disappointing and not really worth the plates served on. The service was not the greatest either as our server decided to step in and parent our children before we could intervene as they used the chopsticks as drumsticks as he told them "this is a nice restaurant" and took them away. He appeared rushed and was not very pleasant. All in all, this avoid this restaurant"

"The drink service is pathetic. Waiter was clueless at times. Was one of my favorite places to eat in Telluride. Fired manager and is going downhill fast.
Would be one of my last choices of places to eat in Telluride."
