"One of three Colorado locations of the iconic LA-based chef Nobu Matsuhisa empire, this restaurant showcases the art of Japanese cuisine at its finest. Located inside the Solaris complex, the high-ceilinged space offers panoramic views of Vail Mountain and an outdoor patio (weather permitting). For the ultimate experience, let the chefs guide you through the omakase menu — especially if you’re lucky enough to snag a seat during the coveted “Nobu in Town” nights, when Matsuhisa himself is behind the bar, crafting signature dishes, mingling with guests, and signing cookbooks. There’s also the option of takeout." - Katie Shapiro
