I really can't say enough about Alys' restaurant, it is WAY off of the main routes and totally worth making the trip. The menu... changes constantly and nothing is bad, you can't make a bad choice. The chef has an amazing flair for flavor combinations, youmust give this place a try, you will be back often. We go as much as possible! Read more

You won't be disappointed. A surprising gem in such a small community. Alys is a great host and runs a tight ship. We were a... party of three. Larger groups might not fit as easily, you should ask when you call. The menu is small but thoughtful andfocused. The kitchen cooked and timed things just right. Rack of lamb cooked actually rare -- the meat eaters at our table weredelighted. Super rich crab cakes, not doughy, sauteed crispy. Wine list is deep too. Local art on the walls! Read more

A true artisan style eatery. our kind of food. Well prepared with good ingredients. We've been to some top name restaurants and... have felt pushed between courses. Not here. Be prepared to enjoy your wine and conversation. Good food preparation can't berushed. Read more

I greatly enjoyed dinner on Saturday night (July 23) with friends, one of whom is a regular at Alys' Restaurant. I can see why!... The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is warm and friendly, the wine terrific. We let Alys know I am vegan when we made thereservation; advance notice of dietary restrictions is always a good practice - we can't expect people to be mind readers. Alysprepared a hearty stuffed bell pepper with a savory rice and vegan "meat" filling for me, which was terrific. My friends enjoyedtheir steak and fish dishes as well. We also loved the olive and pickled tomato tapa already at the table when we were seated.The service was excellent, and Alys herself visited with us. The eco-friendly "Predator" (I know, ironic for a vegan) zinfandel,handpicked by Alys, was incredibly tasty as well. If you are ever in the La Veta/Cuchara area, I'd definitely recommend you eatat Alys' Restaurant. Read more

Alys? Restaurant is an oasis in a desert of fine dining. There are other enjoyable places in the area, but nothing approaching... this quality. The food is excellent, with a verbal menu of the usual steaks and other grilled meats, but also with interestingitems and vegetarian items changing weekly. Whatever they?re serving, you can count on it to be well executed and bestquality. The wine list is very nice and the prices are half what you expect in a larger town. You won?t find a quality cocktaillike this anywhere at this price. The desserts are mainly house made and the choices are many, so leave some room! The diningroom and the patio are comfortable and interesting and all is immaculately clean. You?re going to love this place if you arelooking for a relaxing fine dining experience at a very reasonable cost. Read more

Do your taste buds a favor and visit this place! It?s untraditional, cozy, and the customer service is spectacular!! Be sure to... call in advance for celebration! Thank you Alys! PS, if the locals tell you to see the restroom, it?s not the claw foot theyare talking about? hahahaha! Very cute bathroom! Read more
