    There was a group sitting by the front window that were OBNOXIOUSLY loud. Certainly not the restaurants fault- I blame the parents of the people at the table, who raised their kids to be unaware of their surroundings.

    Great service , beautiful hotel and food was good ! We had been traveling for 8 hours and it was nice to have a warm comfy meal . My husband and i shared the roasted beet salad and for our entrees we had the chicken saltimbocca. Very delicious, rich and big food! We could have split the Saltimbocca too ! FYI , we had our left overs for lunch the next day .

    Amazing meal! Started with the yummy adult candy. Then I had the elk tenderloin which was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth! My husband had the surf & turf which was great as well. Finished with carrot cake - No raisins made me very happy.

    Lovely Victorian era room, quiet with very good menu. When we were there staff was stretched due to not enough servers. Many interested diners had to be turned away. Reservations are important to guarantee seating.

    We have preferred to save the Mahogany Grille for special occasions. Everything about the restaurant is special. The menu selection is varied and interesting. We had a few courses and we were not rushed. The staff was attentive but not overbearing. Our meals were great and we look forward to returning.

    Our only positive experience was the great service we received. The drink selection was poor. French onion soup was salty. Clam chowder was okay. Bread sticks reminded me of Olive Garden breadsticks, only hard on the ends and not as good. My husband liked the rolls, I thought the frozen rolls you get at the grocery store taste better. We both ordered salads with a protein and neither of us was happy with our selection. I had the beet salad with salmon. It was all beets, no salad. The vinaigrette dressing was good. It could have been great with the addition of arugula, spinach or some leafy green. The salmon was disgusting, probably frozen. Husband had the chopped salad with NY steak. The salad was okay. The steak looked nothing like strip steak and tasted like it had been made earlier and reheated. Definitely one of the worst meals we've ever had.

    Excellent service from Kate. Our dinners were delicious and would easily recommend the Prime Rib to everyone! The house manager Jessie graciously provided us an enjoyable tour of the historical ballroom aw well as the other historical attributes of the Strater. We plan to return this fall with our family to enjoy the room accommodations and dining experience,

    Overall, our experience at Mahogany was good, not great, but good. We had the cornbread appetizer (delicious), the beet salad w/salmon (not very good), and the French Pork Chop (very good). The beet salad had been salted and the salmon was like shoe leather. I'm not a picky eater, but this was probably the worst salmon I've had. I would stop short of not recommending this restaurant, as the atmosphere was very nice. Perhaps staying away from the beet salad and (especially the salmon) would have resulted in a much different experience for us.

    Both the elk and the prime rib were delicious and well prepared. The wine list is smaller than in the past, but still delivers ample choices. We live in a neighborhood town, but the drive is always worth it.

    This place is struggling. It presents itself as fine dining but the whole place was a disaster if you asked the guests. They were SLOW from start to finish. It took 30 minutes to get our drinks, another half hour for a salad( beet salad was great) another hour to get our steaks, my husband ordered Med rare and got a med well steak. My elk was cold. We basically ate separate meals. Our poor waiter was good but had far too many tables to be great and spent most of our all night experience making excuses for the kitchen and bar. Everyone around us was upset at the time it took to eat there. Wish we had tried the Roost!

    Mahogany used to be one of my Durango favs. Love the ambiance. Food was good, but not as good as it used to be. Kitchen was slow as was the waiter. Not his fault. Was a good waiter just had too many tables to worry about. State of the overall restaurant industry, but for what you pay the restaurant should be able to recruit more employees.

    The prime rib was chewy, the mashed potatoes were dry as well as the crab stuff salmon. The best part of the meal was the " Adult Candy", which is the stuff dates. However, the service was spot on.

    I wanted a fine dining experience on my recent trip to Southwestern Colorado. We walked through the Grille after happy hour at the Diamond Belle Saloon in the marvelously restored Strater Hotel. The decor is beautiful and the service friendly if a bit slow. My spouse and I shared the bacon wrapped dates which were delicious, but I wish the serving size was larger. My Elk tenderloin was delicious and melt-in-your-mouth tender, it came with a large baked potato and mixed vegetables. My spouse had the pork chop with apples which thought was overcooked. The main complaint was that the vegetables were not served hot. The huckleberry dessert was great as were the Old-Fashioned cocktails. The wine list is also a plus.

    The dinner started off well, with our server, Liam. We ordered the Navajo cornbread as an appetizer, and it was awesome! From there, things went downhill. We ordered the Caesar salad, and both my wife and I felt that it was probably the worst Caesar salad we have ever had, too much lemon, which overpowered any other ingredients. My wife ordered the prime rib prepared medium, and I ordered the yellow fin tuna, also prepared medium. My wife's prime rib was mostly medium, but some parts were rare. My yellow fin tuna had to be sent back, as it came more well done than medium. My side dish was a baked sweet potato, which was cold and had to be sent back. Also, all of the tables around us received a basket of bread, we did not! Maybe it was just an off night, or maybe the Mahogany Grille isn't as good as we thought it would be!

    Our evening was fantastic. I had the trout and my husband had prime rib. They were both cooked perfect. We shared a chop salad wow can’t say enough in presentation and taste. Our waiter was most likely the best we have ever had. He was very personable and  attentive. Plus our water was always full.  The Mahogany Grille at the Strater Hotel was beautiful. Made a trip to the ladies room and looked around. The hotel has so much history. If u are ever in historical Durango make it a point to go into this restaurant and hotel and eat or just look around. Thanks Mahogany Grill for making our evening special.

    It took way over an hour to get our food and some of it came out cold and wrong. Our server tried everything to make it right, but for the money it was just a big disappointment. I believe the management had gone home and left them in a pickle. The venue is really amazing but we come for the food ultimately not to look around for an hour..

    I ordered the $62 surf and turf which included an excellent lobster tail and a 6oz dried out, cold, and grey fillet medallion of beef. It looked and taste as if it had been reheated and added to the entree plate. This restaurant is over rated and expensive. We also ordered salads, the featured corn bread, and Caymus. The steak was memorably disappointing although the rest of the meal was very good.

    I had the peppered filet steak. I found it to be overly peppered, such that I scraped off or cut off some of the coating. I have certainly had peppered filets before, but this was usage of the spice that overcame the flavor and value of the meat itself. The spice layer was just too thick (for me). Otherwise, the meal was quite enjoyable.
