   The Wagyu Beef Hot Stone was outstanding as well as the Shinsito Peppers and Rock Shrimp. About $90 p/p with tip

   My Birthday celebration, Food/Bev manager Rodrigo who I meet a taste of Vail made sure my night was extra special. Often checking in on us to make sure everything was perfect. Our server Shannon pays great attention to detail making sure we enjoyed everything. Unfortunately I did not write down our second server Aishia(?) Beautiful young lady who served us dessert our flaming dessert called Death Star, not to be missed. She had to light my sparkle candle while holding the flaming pot that goes over the dessert. She is just lovely. I have been to Makoto before always sitting at the counter to watch the perfection of your chef's. I have been to Matsuhisa in Vail and Denver many times. Just try Makoto for a change of pace. They have a free shuttle at the transportation center to take you to Grand Hyatt appox every 15 min and free parking.

   Dear Robin, As you discovered, we love celebrating birthdays and other milestones at Makoto, and you were certainly in good hands with Rodrigo. We will share your praise with Shannon and the rest of our service team, and we're so glad you ended your evening on such a high note with our memorable Death Star dessert! Thank you for letting other guests know about the convenience of our shuttle, and we hope to host you at Maktoto again soon. Perhaps we have inspired a birthday tradition! Sincerely, Michael Scott, Hotel Manager-F&B
