Matsuhisa Vail

This is the Vail outpost of the Nobu empire, so make a reservation here when you want some reliably high-quality fish. Go with the omakase for an uni shooter, some salmon and scallop sashimi, and other Nobu specialties like king crab tempura and black truffle sea bass. The place is a total scene, and you might see someone like Lindsey Vonn hanging out by the large windows that face Vail Mountain while you’re going to town on yellowtail-japaleño nigiri and miso cod. Matsuhisa is also known for the bright and citrusy Gardener cocktail, but there are plenty of sakes, rieslings, and Japanese whiskeys on the menu that go great with all the fresh fish.
