Great food, great service, great ambience.

by Ntar

We had 5 adults in our party and all of us loved our food! The duck was amazing, the black code was perfect, the seared ahi was ultra fresh and the chicken was moist and tender. We cleared our plates! They had the best pomegranate mojito and the Wandering Poet sake was absolutely delicious! While our meal tended to be on the pricier side, it was not unreasonable for the level of quality of food and service we received.

Our tab, with appetizers, drinks, entrees, and coffee was roughly $75 per person. I've dined at many nice restaurants throughout the US and this restaurant is definitely up there with the best of them!

To top our great experience, I accidently left my iphone at the restaurant and the bus boy found it and returned it to me!

• Pros: Excellent food, service and atmosphere
• Cons: A little on the pricey side, for some

Ridiculous

by pangia

Went with a large group during the Sundance Film Festival, which is admittedly a busy time. However because of the size of our group (10ppl), we were told they couldn't seat us until 10pm. When we arrived, we were forced to wait for over an hour, with no explaination, no apology, and little concern. We found it rude and ridiculous that we would be given a reservation when there is no way they could have turned a table to seat us in time. A good restaurant knows it's floor, and does not accept reservations when it cannot accomodate people simply because they are being greedy. At this time of night patrons are also left with no other options, which adds to their frustration. When we were finally sat (and the rest of the restaurant was nearly completely empty) the servers were nice and friendly, but the food was mediocre and ridiculously expensive. After coming to Sundance for three years running myself and colleagues will never be dining here again, and will warn people against wasting their time standing in a cramped hallway longingly staring at other people's food.

• Pros: Friendly servers
• Cons: Long waits, rude hostesses, cramped hallway/no waiting area, mediocre food.

Over priced, tiny drinks

by yumyummum

We ate here with a group of friends.The food and drinks were way over priced. The staff could have been friendlier. We all shared appetizers and none of us were impressed. The entrees were just okay.
