My husband and I went to Eolus to celebrate our 46th year Anniversary and were greeted by 2 friendly gentlemen wishing us a Happy Anniversary and took us to a wonderful booth with beautiful, colorful tiny hearts on our menus! Our extremely friendly server came over to introduce herself and asked if we were ready to order drinks. My husband ordered a Sweet Manhattan and I ordered a glass of Pinot Noir. Heather came back to see if we were ready to order and I asked for a few minutes to decide. When she returned I asked her if the Surf & Turf could be done only with Lobster tails and she said absolutely. I ordered the Lobster plate with 2 Lobster Tails, Garlic Mashed Potatoes & Asparagus with an incredible sauce. My husband ordered the famous Lobster/Beef burger with the same sauce and delicious French Fries! We both decided not to order appetizers or salads because the main courses we ordered would give us just enough room for dessert! Our dinners were brought out together by other servers, but Heather came back to hear about our satisfaction. Everything was beautifully prepared and extremely delicious so when Heather returned and saw our plates empty she said, you must have loved your dinner? Our answer was absolutely!
Our table was cleaned off and minutes later Heather brought of the dessert menu and told us Eolus would provide the Vanilla Crème Brûlée. We looked at the menu and saw 4 Beignets with Lemon sauce which we had in New Orleans many times so we ordered them! A few minutes later came the best, fresh tasting Bignets with their outstanding Lemon sauce we have eaten! We can’t wait to go back with our friends to spend more time in a restaurant beautifully designed in a historic building in downtown Durango. The wonderful ambiance, friendly guests, outstanding service, terrific menu and remarkable quality food happens everyday Monday-Friday for dinner!

Incredible dining experience! The wait staff made our night perfect. They checked on us the right amount of times (not too much) and when serving our dinner, it was presented to us in a vey high-end dining manner. The steak frites was cooked to perfection (highly recommend upgrading to the hand cut duck fat fries). The lobster burger was also exceptional. We will be back!

If I am paying $100 for a meal, I have very high expectations. Eolus far surpassed every expectation. The crispy brussel sprouts were one of the most exquisite things I've tasted. The butternut squash was a mix of very unique and delicious ingredients. The service was the best I've ever experienced. O'Ryan treated us like royalty, always within reach if we needed assistance but never interrupting our conversation. There are many pricy restaurants in Durango, and this was the first one that I feel deserved every cent. My only regret is that we didn't order dessert!
