you'd get drunk on THIS food! It's that good. The restaurant is small and cozy and perfect for Pan Asian food in the small mountain town of Crested Butte. I started with a specialty cocktail made from the rum distilled down the street (yes, in Crested Butte!) and a cup of soup-whose-name-I-can't-remember (Tom-something-something) - the spicy soup with shrimp, chunks...

We had a delightful dinner at the cozy Ginger Cafe during a recent ski trip. The menu was varied, offering favorite Thai standards such as pad thai but it was the nightly special that captured my attention. It was a delicious char fish, topped with a chile, gingery tasting glaze served with fresh jasmine rice and crisp asparagus. It was... More

The restaurant served Asian food in pleasant surroundings and generous portions. You can choose how spicy you want your selections to be. Well worth the experience.

We asked a local for a recommendation, and are so glad that we took her advice. The place exudes a warm and cozy atmosphere, housed in a little Victorian style building on Main. We were able to get a table without a wait, but the restaurant, which was half full when we arrived, filled up quickly. The food was terrific!... More

We made reservations at this restaurant based on a great meal during a summer visit. When we arrived for the reservation I couldn't help but notice 2 things; Mine was the only reservation of the night (i peaked) and they sat our group of 4 at the worst possible table - right in the kitchen and bathroom traffic. There were... More

The jasmine tea was good, but they ran out and didn't offer to make more. The food was super hot and couldn't ear it.

We dined with two children and seven adults so our "needs" were varied. Appreciated the friendly service and "nothing is too much trouble" attitude. Ate there twice in seven days. And they had New Zealand wine on the wine list, added bonus
