“ Casual ambiance and good service. The food delicious and fresh. The menu had many interesting dishes but I ended up with clam chowder soup and miso sea bass. Both were great dishes. ”
“ Great experience! Server, Rick, was super awesome! Attentive, professional and knew his seafood - especially the oysters! Food was excellent and we eat seafood all over the US. Oysters & Dungeness crab were fresh. Dungeness crab, sea bass and sword fish were all PERFECTLY cooked. I had a coconut drink, my daughter had the blood moon and my husband wanted a Stella but they didn't have any so he had a Colorado house draft paired perfectly with his crab. Sat by a door but we weren't cold at all. Warmly lit and large windows allowed outside Christmas lighting in. Hostess was also attentive. Happy holidays! ”
“ We visited Vail for a wedding and took the time to carefully review which restaurants to try. Montauk really stood out. Yes, Montauk in Vail! Don't miss this place. We started with the gazpacho and the wedge salad, followed by the salmon, lobster tail, and an addition of Dungeness crab. The sourdough bread was amazing. The only critique was the sides; the sticky rice and mashed potatoes were just okay. I would definitely come back here again. Ricky, our waiter, provided excellent service. ”
“ Stopped in for dinner and found everything to be very good. We had the lobster tail, a NY strip (slightly tough), and a trio of sorbet for dessert. The lobster tail was excellent. The service was fine. I thought the prices were a bit high, but overall the meal was pretty good, and I'd go back again. ”
“ Food was quite tasty (my expectations for seafood in the Rockies was not high) and the service pleasant. None of the dishes were exceptional, but solid. The sprouts could have been roasted a bit longer, though my seared tuna was quite good. That said, extremely expensive for the quality. 45-60 for entrees, that after tasting the Sea Bass and tuna I feel confident in saying are good, not great. Still, a nice night out if you're in the mood for seafood. ”
“ Great seafood spot on a mountain! I tried the grill, you can pick your protein and sides. Worked well for me since I don't like things too saucy. The service is excellent. Seafood is fresh and sides were delicious! The vibe is super chill. ”
“ When I was scrolling open table for places to eat at in vail on our trip this place came highly recommended and kept popping up. I hesitated to make reservations at first. We were next door and the bartender actually talked us to going for dinner. We went in off season so they were pretty empty. We ordered the oysters (raw) my fiancé had shrimp and I had a delicious steak topped with crab meat. I will say we were too impressed with the sides that were offered. I feel like they were lacking. However the main courses were absolutely delicious. If you come here plan to get the oysters. Honestly they were my favorite part of the meal. Very upscale restaurant. ”
“ I got to try some ahi, and ordered a simple salmon plate with the sesame garlic sticky rice & some veggies. The dishes are huge & you could easily share. The specialty salmon dish was also tasty. Everything was cooked well. The lime cheesecake is also worth ordering. ”
“ My wife and I went here during the Vail Beaver Creek restaurant week. I've wanted to come here for a long time because I love seafood. We started with the Restaurant Week special which was 6 oysters on the half shell with a glass of champagne. Our waiter Brian was very helpful when I asked about the four different oyster types they had. I went with his recommendations and was not disappointed. I don't remember what the types were but I was happy as a cl...oyster. For my entree, I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass and it was cooked perfectly. It had a nice crystal in it and the fish was SO good. My wife got a dish of sweet potato and apple as well as a small salad. Everything was very good. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and super attentive. He had great recommendations and was fun to chat with too. We had a great experience and would definitely go back. The prices are what you would expect from a high end seafood restaurant in Vail. ”
