Great spot for a nice evening out. Enjoyed the early evening on the patio with the chef’s choice sushi and some wonderful specials. Great service punctuated by a visit from the chef.

We focused on sushi--had no grill items. The staff was attentive and the sushi fresh and innovative. Different dishes than we had had before. We get back to Crested Butte, we will make a return trip.

Amazing dinner! We reserved our table for the Sunday of Labor Day and everything was exceptional. The guest chef (who I understand is coming back to work permanently) explained each of the specials and they all sounded great. We ordered a few rolls and 2 of the specials. The rolls were good, but the specials (scallops and lamb lollipops) were incredible. The service was perfect - the manager recommended a great wine that you could really tell was based on experience. We can't wait to return!

Unfortunately the Lil's that we know and loved has gone down-hill. There was a lack of attention to detail on many different aspects. Over-all food and experience was disappointing.

We would like to invite you back as we work to exceed expectations despite Covid-19 restrictions. Over a third of the restaurants will fail during this trying time, prior owners were on GoFundMe during the early stages of the pandemic. New ownership has provided the ability to save jobs, operate while the pandemic is still overwhelming our country, and while under severe restrictions by local, state, and federal health authorities. We are up to the challenge and are open to constructive comments

It was average, certainly not as good as the prior owners. They changed the menu and my favorite items are now gone. Not the same, and not as good. Definitely not a must go to place like it was in the past. Disappointed
