Atmosphere is excellent. After eating here a few days I can say the sauces make the meal. The garlic herb sauce on the bacon wrap shrimp taste fantastic. My wife liked the specialty mixed drinks. Chair 3 and 8 are her favorite. My only complaint was the salads. They were small portioned, plain, and limp.

It’s the perfect restaurant in Durango. Massively high ceilings provide a cathedral feel when walking in. When we went there it wasn’t very busy thankfully because we couldn’t have been much hungrier.

we went there for valentine day and they had a lovely preset menu! Food was delicious, not cheap but well worth it given its one of the only nice restaurants within miles. The owner (Chrissy) was lovely and even offered us a ride back to our condo at Purgatory Mountain due to snowstorm, waitress (Maddie) was equally lovely and very attentive. Definitely will go back when in the area.

Food and service were great. Kinda pricey but would definitely eat here again. Atmosphere was good. Kinda forget there were others around. It wasn’t noisy or overwhelming.

The BEST formal dining on the mountain. The staff was so lovely and accommodating. The food was outstanding. It’s so rare to go to a place where every. Single. Thing. You order is amazing. And let’s not forget the gorgeous views of the twilights and engineer mountain !

Party of 8. Last night. Special was pork and two ordered/enjoyed, 2 more had chicken/ok. Caesar Salad was bitter tasting. 3 others had pasta (doughy/gritty). Bill was $400 and we left a $100 tip. I know they were trying, just felt like you need this feedback.

By far some of the best food my wife and I have ever had. Every ingredient had a purpose and was executed masterfully. The service was absolutely incredible. The staff and ownership were present and happy to have a conversation or two. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. This is the kind of restaurant that should be featured in places to go in every Colorado magazine.

Just had our first dining experience here and we are impressed. So glad that Chrissy (formerly of the Sow’s Ear) has her own place. We loved the views, the fireplace, the service, the food, and the drinks, it was all great really. The Salmon and Burger were especially good, and don’t miss out on an opportunity to eat those yummy parmesan fries. Will have to return to try the appetizers and dessert (salad and entrees were enough for tonight)

My wife and I were fortunate to have had dinner at The Lift last Sunday evening culminating a week long vacation on the mountain. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were fantastic. As good as any fine restaurant we had ever experienced. We will be looking forward to our trip next year and making sure that The Lift will again be part of our experience in the San Juans.

Absolutely fantastic, family had steaks and ravioli and they hit the spot. Most food up at Purgatory is ok, this should be a must eat for anyone up here. Definitely makes the list
