Went for the first time for 3 year wedding anniversary. Beautiful, quiet, cozy ambiance. Host amd waitress were very friendly. Waitress was kind amd very helpful. Food was excellent! We had the fish cakes for starters, the filet mignon entree, crab legs entree and icream pie dessert. I can't remember the names of all the dishes. Everything was delicious.

The whole experience was amazing! We were 30 minutes early for the reservation of a table for 2 and we sat at the bar and had drinks while waiting. The bartenders were super nice and helpful with deciding what we wanted. We then moved to our table and had the restaurant week special of 6 oysters with a glass of champagne. We chose the west coast and they were not fishy at all and delicious. Then we had the scallops and sea bass for dinner entrees. Both were fantastic! The sea bass was a special offering and the sauce that was with it really made it even better. The ambiance was classy yet relaxed. It was pricey, but pretty reasonable for the overall service and quality of food. For the location in vail, we actually expected it to be more expensive!

Always wonderful. Sometimes people hesitate ordering seafood so far from the sea; do not hold back at Montauk because everything is fresh! Seafood tower is amazing and includes all of our favorites. Just a 12 min walk from Vail Village or take the free bus that runs between VV and Lionshead.

The waiter was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, not to mention funny and kind. The service is hard to beat and the food speaks for itself. We ordered the Spanish stew special and it rivaled dishes you expect to find on the most upscale coastal restaurants. The caviar was flavorful, creamy and smooth and the cocktails perfect. Will definitely come back next time we’re in Vail!
