    Reservations are a must since this restaurant is popular. food and service was very good. Menu has good choices. Portion size is good. On street Parking was a challenge and required a 4 block walk. That is not always the case. The table we had was a bit too small for a party of 4, particularly since we ordered multiple appetizers. The restaurant was busy so we didn’t have the option of asking for a larger table.

    Took an hour for our Ramen to arrive our appetizer was served cold and our waitress other than taking our order was almost non existent. I had to go find her to get our check, then had to find her to take our card, and get a to go box. Very slow service all around This used to be our favorite restaurant but it's steadily going down hill, hopefully it will get better. Sad!

    We lives in Bayfield and don’t go to Durango much to eat out but when we do East by SW is our go to restaurant. We’ve never had bad service and the food is always delicious!

    A date night favorite for my husband and I. I appreciate the recommendations from staff when I want to go outside of my normal go to rolls. Exquisite food as always!

    Waiter seemed lackluster about the experience. Forgot some of our order ( we never got). The food was acceptable but nothing to rave about.
