Sakaba

One of the biggest reasons I recommend this restaurant is because of the atmosphere. There’s an indoor and outdoor seating, which is perfect for the summertime if you want to enjoy the nice weather. The food is also very yummy, the seafood is very fresh, but here’s the deal: it is not cheap. I didn’t expect it to be! But I had higher expectations for what I was paying for. My favorite things on the menu were the signature lobster roll, and the signature salmon avocado sisho. Those were def 10 out of 10. However, the reason I gave this restaurant a 4/5 was because generally the rest of the food was truly between a two to four out of five. I think this restaurant is perfect to have a little bite with your family and friends but I wouldn’t recommend it as a place you would go to have a full meal. I don’t want to miss out on mentioning that the service was spectacular! Overall a def 4/5!

Sakaba is more than it’s Japanese namesake, more than a simple upscale sushi bar in a resort. Sakaba is the GO TO sushi restaurant in Vail. Sakaba is a full foodie experience, serving food that is beyond words for how deliciously divine. Pair that with the friendliness wait staff who are without a doubt the best in the world. The entire meal from start to finish was a feast for the senses. Each course is stunningly plated. Each sushi and sashimi dish is unique and delectable with something truly special that the chefs have infused into each of them and I recommend adding extra fresh wasabi, to give the sushi a smooth spiciness that enhances the already mouth watering pieces. For a main course the Miso Black Cod is a must for all seafood lovers. And for dessert one must try the Miso Crème Brûlée as it is so inventive and works beautifully. The miso brings a unique Japanese taste to the classic dessert that makes it a delight. Of course, if a dinner guest has not a sweet tooth, the Hamachi as a dessert is a refreshing after meal closer.

I like the uni with rice very much. Two orders of it are satisfying to me. I like the miso black cod very much. I love the otoro sashimi. I like the cucumber salad.

Perfect service, food and cocktails. What a great experience and terrific atmosphere! Our waiter, Colby was so helpful and kind. Thanks so much for a great date night. The best sushi we've had in Colorado

Amazing time at Sakaba! Excellent menu that should hit the spot for anyone. We particularly loved the California roll with soy paper (not seaweed), as well as the lobster roll. The sake menu is also on point and we asked for a flight to try a few different types. In the winter, dress warm and ask to be seated outside. Lots of heaters, fireplaces, and blankets. We’ll be back.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday here and it was great! The service was very friendly and attentive, but also well-paced for a more leisurely dinner. The chef’s choice sashimi omakase was great and allowed for a nice range, including fish we hadn’t tried before. The wagyu was incredible, especially with the condiments/accoutrements that come with it.

Better than French Laundry! This is not your run of the mill sushi bar. This one deserves a Michelin star! The fresh sushi melts in your mouth. The black cod is simply sublime and is a MUST. All the sushi is prepared with attention to subtle flavors. The impeccable service, and the knowledge of sake and wine, just makes this an experience you will savor!! Yes its not cheap...but worth it!

We had the most wonderful experience at Sakaba. We went to dinner here on our honeymoon and they made it a very special experience. They gave us a great table and decorated it with candles and flowers. The food was amazing and the service was quick. Joy and Shay made sure that we had everything we needed and more! Thank you so much for making our experience so amazing.
