The Mahogany Grille at the Strater Hotel

Mahogany Grille specializes in the art of steak and seafood, and offers a vegan and vegetarian menu. Enjoy handcrafted cuisine while stepping back in time. Experience the ambiance of the Victorian Old West as we serve you an array of eclectic culinary specialties.

When preparing the Mahogany Grille menu, our award-winning staff gives special focus to farm-fresh recipes that represent new styles with old west flavors. We hand-cut our steaks in our butcher shop, carefully select our foods, and incorporate products by local growers when available creating a mosaic of tastes and textures.

We take pride in being well-versed in fine wine and spirits. Complimented with our aromatic food, our wines and spirits make quite a delicious impression.

*Note: Menus online may vary from restaurant menu due to supply of product. We appreciate your understanding.

"My friends and were pleased with the delicious food. My only disappointment was that the menu changed the day before - and I had decided on my meal from the previous selection. With so many tasty options, it took a while to make a new choice, but it was just as good as what I had anticipated."

"Our experience at The Mahogany Grill was outstanding, this was our last dinner meal in Durango Colorado and we couldn't have picked a better restaurant. They delighted us with some extra's such as a taste of their Hurricane martini's, along with a flatbread cheese, basil and balsamic vinegar appetizer's that were extremely tasty. If we ever pass this way again you can bet The Mahogany Grill will be at the top of our list of restaurants!!"

"Had a great dinner at the Mahogany Grille! Had an early reservation see we could get to the theater and everything was spot on. Great menu; fun and well priced wine list and the service was great. My Halibut was excellent and my wife had outstanding ravioli with butternut squash and veggies. Would definitely go back."

"My wife and I go to the restaurant on many occasions. We have never been disappointed. March 1st, was an evening to be remembered. Our waitress, Breana, made the evening spectacular. Our questions about various items on the food menu as well as the wine menu were met with concise, clear, and to the point answers. She was attentive but not hovering. We were never pushed by up-selling nor out the door. We will tell everyone we talk to in Durango when asked about restaurants to go to Mahogany. The portions were just the right amount. We have friends from out of town and will always bring them here."

"Great location beautiful restaurant and great bar. Service and food however were lacking. We arrived a little early for our reservation and there was no one to greet us, the hostess was busy bussing tables and got to us after about 5 minutes. She sent us the bar to wait till a table was ready and forgot about us. and apparently another couple. our server showed up about 10 minutes after being seated and took our order. The lobster risotto didn't taste like lobster or risotto it didn't taste like anything. My steak was good but was bathed in their sauce which was a little overwhelming and the vegetables were probably salted twice so were inedible. Overall, very disappointing. The Office bar is great though."

"Valentine's Evening: traveling from out of state, made reservations months in advance, husband anxious to try the elk tenderloin. 1:elk loin not on menu, Waiter (Conner)only mentioned the "Valentine Special menu." 2:Never saw Conner again after he served our orders. 3:Ordered spare ribs (since no elk loin), they were the toughest, stringiest meat ever served, 4:an associate wait staff took ribs back and said would send a manager;nobody ever came. 5:Then overhead Conner telling the table just seated next to us about their elk tenderloin special! 6:Finished our other meal and the hostess took the plate, never asking how the meal was or questioning why one of us was without food, just brought the check. Paid $100 check in full with a $5 tip"

"We had a very good Chateaubriand to celebrate a birthday. The food was very good, service was excellent, and the coffee - decaf Sumatra from a local roaster was among the best we have had in Durango. The Mahogany Grille is an excellent choice for a special meal."

"We enjoyed all aspects of our dinner. It was our first time to dine at The Mahogany Grille. We choose it for a special occasion due to the historic nature of the building and the beautiful dinning room. From the moment we walked in to the last savory taste of desert we were impressed! The service was just right. The complimentary toast to welcome us, the tasty appetizers, all very good. We will see you again!"

"We really enjoyed the Mahogany Grill on a cold chilly night. We were there on a Saturday when Chateaubriand was the special. At tableside, the chef prepared the flamed sauce, explaining the ingredients. Excellent presentation! Dessert was the fabulous Chocolate Avalanche. We will return."
