Inari’s

We were here for a special occasion and they still have not sat us an hour later, when we have a reservation. Not worth it or the hype! There are better places to eat.

My wife and I decided to take a short weekend getaway from the hustle and bustle of the Denver area and explore the peach and wine country of Palisade, Colorado. The restaurant selection in this area is very limited but were told by several locals to try Inari’s. Last night we did just that.
We were totally out of the info loop in that we did not know that this was Palisade High School prom night and were told that, when showing up at 530pm, the next reservation available was at 8pm but could sit at the bar. We did. Good decision made
We had calamari as an appetizer and the the red snapper entrée. By mistake they also brought the Brussels sprouts so we ate them too!
Everything was delicious!
We will be back

Excellent food and a great atmosphere. The Korean tacos had a delicate mix of eastern favors and just the right amount of sweetness. The Frito Misto was perfect. The vegetables retaining just the right crunch with subtle and delicious spices. The cracker bread was good but a little strong on fennel. Overall a great experience and we will definitely return.

Great upscale dinner in a quaint town. Really great surprise. Curry, steaks, and gush dishes were all excellent.

Not sure what all the hubbub is about. While highly recommended as the best place in town, we were not impressed with our visit last weekend. Service was unfriendly and the food was underwhelming at best. While it was peach fest weekend and the staff was a bit stressed, we arrived to a half empty restaurant. We had reservations and arrived early. They seated us quickly, but there we sat… When the waitress finally took our order, she was short and cold. When served, my seafood salad was floating in water (should have strained the rice noodles) and my husbands burger had cheese (ordered without) and was small and tasteless.
Don’t waste your time… Go to the brewery or eat off the truck at the distillery; much better food and friendlier service. If you want upscale, take the short drive to Grand Junction for dinner…

Second time at this restaurant and as a tourist it is very consistent. Food was great and a nice wine list as well. It is a hidden gem in Palisade, Colorado!

Packed on a Saturday Night even with limited access due to Main St construction. Enjoyed the Shrimp and Rissotto top notch meal as usual. Hiro was a gracious host as always spending quite a bit of time at our table making sure our meal was tasty. This restaurant is not to be missed during any visit to Palisade.

Found this place while passing through on I-​70. Even with Main Street under construction they were open. Very friendly server who made a great beer and entrée recommendation. Food was delicious. Open for dinner Wed-​Sat

News flash! The town and state give this business a new liquor license and the first night with new license, they are caught serving a minor! Is that the town’s fault too?

Creative menu, excellent food! Very attentive wait staff, friendly and polite.
Will return often!

Cute restaurant with a foodie twist on dishes for a reasonable price ($ 13-​$ 20 plates).
3.5 stars for atmosphere– it was a lot cuter than the pictures presented it, but the overhead lights were still bright and gave it more of a sterile feel. I was envious of the people dining outside at the candlelit patio tables, but they were all taken (there are candles on the indoor tables however so that does bump up the ambiance).
4 stars for the quality of food. They were out of the risotto so we opted for the fish and chips. It had a creative twist and came with a delicious ginger tartar sauce and curried slaw. We both liked it (although the fish could have been done a cooked a tad more).
The gorgonzola cranberry salad was great. Their local house wine from Canyon Winds Cellars was also a hit.
Service was very friendly.
I would definitely come here again, especially if we could sit outside.

Served a party of 9 crazy girls with a smile on their face and didn’t screw up any of our ridiculous requests. Food was yummy, and drinks were fun. The only thing is the cinnamon side with the shrimp… it was like eating a cinnamon stick, maybe lighten up on that one. Other than that, everyone left happy. Back to the bike ride!

We waited 20 min for a drink 30 min for an app and over an hour for our dinner and when it came out it was ice cold. Our server didn’t seem to care about our satisfaction. Two cooks for the entire restaurant??? Give me a break. We went to Palisade Brewery for some real service and good food.

If only the food hadn’t been so bad! Cute restaurant with eclectic décor and very good, attentive, pleasant servers in the heart of Palisade. Cool fusion menu.
The chefs have such a heavy hand with the dried spices that excellent ingredients were rendered disgustingly spiced. Lovely salmon filet tasted like it had been dredged in some Grill Mates hot BBQ rub, then breaded in pumpkin seeds, topped with a thankfully refreshingly edible tablespoon of mango salsa, and some creamy smear of sauce made of – yep — some dried spices turned into a paste with some creamy mayo or something. It was served with well-​cooked zucchini and squash, not too mushy, and (surprise) mounds of fresh garlic so I could only eat four or five without fearing being a pariah tomorrow. The three roasted potatoes, crispy and a little salt on the outside, were delicious. I could eat them. Yay — something I could eat in that $ 20 plate. Just in case you think I’m just a spice wimp, I passed the mostly uneaten plate to my eat-​anything husband. Even he couldn’t choke down that salmon, though he tried.
He did eat his lamb burger. It was covered with some red pepper relish on it which — surprise — apparently meant it was served with an inescapable paste of dried red pepper spices that made the entire dish taste like dried spices. Poor guy had a taste for lamb and it might as well have been chicken; you could taste nothing but the fiery taste of raw spice paste. Prettily presented with shoestring french fries. $ 15.
We cut our losses though the desserts sounded good. It all sounded good — even looked good — but we couldn’t risk another disappointing bite. We are back at the hotel now feeling sick. Not that the food was spoiled (just to be clear, we don’t seem to have salmonella or anything), but just have sour yucky tummies wishing the food we ate could be removed from our stomachs somehow, anyhow. We should have gotten the plain old cheeseburger and salad at Inari’s.
FYI, a notice at the restaurant says that as of 7÷1÷14, their $ 35 Wednesday date night is discontinued.

The good was amazing. My wife and I are from the city and are used to food like this at 5 star restaurants. The pan seared halibut can not be beat. And the local wine selections far exceeded their price. We will definitely be back here again.

Absolutely the best Bruschetta we’ve ever had. The green curry was excellent too — I asked for extra spicy and it actually turned out good and spicy. Hamburger was ok — disappointing generic white bread roll. Lava chocolate cake was good. Peach strawberry Napoleon was not great — not enough fruit and too much pastry. Service was warm and attentive.

Eaten here numerous times and brought lots of friends with us. The owner Hiro remembered us the second time we were there! Leslie is our favorite waiter. Korean tacos are fantastic, and the flavors of the specials may seem unusual but they meld so well together. Date night Wednesdays are an incredible deal! Their salmon dish sounds good, but I don’t eat farm raised fish; I wish they would use wild sockeye.

GLUTEN FREE and super tasty, I had the Risotto top with thin sliced pork (I usually don’t like pork) but this was amazing, highly recommend, best Risotto I’ve ever had.

Korean Tacos are amazing!

I’ve only been to Inari’s twice, but I wish I could go all of the time! The menu here is amazing, the service is great, and the atmosphere is super classy.
The first time I went, I got an amazing salmon cream pasta dish, and it wasn’t only flavorful, but the chef certainly understood how to not drown it in heavy cream!
The second time I went, my boyfriend and I got the calamari to start, and it was perfect! It was lightly breaded, wonderfully chewy, and came with a delicious spicy mayo! We always get calamari when we at at nicer places, and this is definitely top on our list. For the main course, I got the prosciutto, goat cheese, and fig pizza, and I enjoyed every bite! My boyfriend got a Spanish paella special that featured chicken, sausage, mussels, and big shrimp. The flavor of the paella was amazing and the best we’ve eaten outside Spain! We washed all this awesomeness down with some local wine.
I can’t wait to check out Inari’s brunch on Sundays!
