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.

    For the price point not impressed with the ambience or the service. Ended up going to another restaurant after. Took over 60 minutes for an entree to arrive.

    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 loved that it was a Wednesday night so. It very crowded and I like some restaurants where they just keep half the restaurant empty and shove everyone in one section….groups were spread out through the restaurant. I love that this kept the noise level down and it was easy to have a conversation. The server was professional and observant and not invasive with checking on us too often…the food and pinot noir was expensive but excellent….which makes all the difference! I got the ribeye and my partner got the surf n turf with filet and lobster tail and both cooked perfectly! Tarimsu was excellent for dessert!

    We have dined at this restaurant many times over 20+ years. It has some nice ambiance, and the service is good. However, we have noticed that the food quality has declined recently, perhaps due to a new chef. The wine list could also use some improvement for a nice restaurant like this. Prices a a little high, especially for steaks.

    Food was mediocre at best. And that is generous. Portions are stupidly large, perhaps to make up for bad quality. And prices are NY level prices and nowhere near worth it. Bread tasted like chemicals. Trout was way over cooked and sitting on a bed of vegetables so mushy as to be unidentifiable. Beet salad was ok. Enough for three people but ok. Navajo cornbread had flavor but the cornbread was overly wet. Chicken saltimbocca had no prosciutto in it!! Will never eat here again even if they paid me to.

    Loved the meal, only gave 4 stars due to the “shareable” sides. Prefer sides coming with the meal. Waitress was terrific and did not rush us. Only reason for the 4 stars on ambiance was that the front door kept getting stuck open and we would freeze when that happened.

    Made a reservation, waited over an hour and a half for our entrees. Medium rare elk came out well done, waited forever for it to be replaced, came out sloppily plated with no garnish. My date's shrimp was not deveined and was overcooked. I do not recommend this restaurant, spend your money and time elsewhere.

    Our dinner at The Mahogany Grill was a treat. We had the first seating of the evening. The first course was a shared Oysters Rockefeller, two each, perfectly prepared. Followed by a delicious salad. Our choice for the main dish was Surf and Turf. A generous portion of Fillet Minion accompanied by three Jumbo Shrimp with a peppered mint sauce. A portion of Green Beans and your choice of three kinds of Potatoes. Desert was a gingerbread pudding with vanilla ice cream. I would highly recommend this restaurant for high quality food and beverage. It finished off a wonderful day perfectly.

    We know many places aren’t open for Christmas but as tourists to Durango, our family wanted a nice dinner. Unfortunately it was a fixed menu of salmon, surf and turf (shrimp) and rack of lamb for the entrees. Our kids don’t eat red meat or seafood. Unfortunately no chicken entree at all and no ability to substitute so we paid $89 per child where they barely ate the meal and came back to our rental and ate snacks afterwards. Beautiful hotel and restaurant and great service but wasn’t great experience with the fixed menu.

    Fantastic experience celebrating my mother's 85th birthday at a hotel where she honeymooned 59 years ago! Absolutely THE BEST elk tenderloin I have ever had the opportunity to enjoy so kudos to the chef for that! Calamari was fantastic as well. Just a very first class experience over all and I am so grateful. Thank you!
