The 14 Best Restaurants In Vail - Vail - The Infatuation

"At Osaki’s, seating and reservations are extremely limited. How limited, you ask? Well, you can only reserve by calling or stopping by in person, after 5:30pm, for the night of and the next night. While this all might seem a little high maintenance, the fish is worth the effort. You can pick from one of the daily sashimi or nigiri specials on the whiteboard, which might include hamachi belly or sea bream with yuzu salt, but the omakase is the way to go. Expect a wide array of dishes that, depending on the night, might include raw octopus and snow crab to start, some light-as-air scallop, shrimp, and urchin tempura with a light dash of green tea salt, and black cod with miso that’s balanced perfectly with a bite of pickled ginger root." - kim fuller
