Very nice experience! The trout was lovely. The cocktails and wine are so good! Not too loud and not too quiet. As goldielocks would say it is just right.

Excellent meal. Was here with a group of friends and we all enjoyed the dinner. The restaurant is a bit pricey but worth it for a good meal and atmosphere. I recommend the duck, see photo.

I rarely ever post negative reviews of a restaurant- however I felt after such a flavorless and expensive meal I needed to comment. First off- the staff was amazing so no reflection of them. From the appetizer, the salad and our meals- it was just flavorless. It’s the first time in years that I had to ask for salt at a fine dining establishment. My husbands steak was over cooked and the accoutrements needed seasoning. My halibut was over cooked, and the lobster had no flavor. The broth helped but still wasn’t enough. I tried my daughter’s kids pasta as well, and it was flavorless. She usually does not have a problem putting away pasta. My son’s steak was tiny, and we literally ordered the same steak at a high end restaurant in Breckenridge last week and was twice the size. 4 bites for my 10 yr old son did not equate a $24 meal. We have had far better meals in Telluride for far less prices. Honestly, after hearing many locals rave about this being the “the restaurant,” we wished we had booked Allred’s for the views for a $400 meal.

Amazing food, they had great gluten free options with everything labeled, the vegetables are perfectly cooked but with lots of unique flavors. The Brussels sprouts and waygu tartare are some of my favorites

My husband and I loved dining here. Atmosphere was amazing along with service. Our waiter was prompt but never over barring which is great when you want to enjoy a cocktail or two before ordering food. All of our food was delicious and left us ready to return on our next trip to Telluride. Make sure you save room for dessert!!

The dinner was immaculate. We started with the bread with butter, which always sets the tone for the meal. It was warm and delicious. Then we had the brussels sprouts, which were super unique and had orange rinds in the sauce. Again delicious. For entrees, we had the trout and duck, both were perfectly cooked.

Kind of hard to find in the dark, as the sign isn’t illuminated, but I didn’t see any other illuminated signs on the way from the gondola neither so I won’t mark them down for it. The environment is nice with the wine on the walls and high ceilings. Service was very professional which I enjoyed. The food was very good without having to wait to long. I had the duck and the bread so other pictured dishes I can’t give an opinion on, however I didn’t anything but praise from those who ordered them. The Duck was nicely garnished and very tender. The bread had a good amount of olive oil, which I liked, and the butter was good as well. 9/10 which I’ll round to a 5/5. Might reduce the score as I try more restaurants during my stay here.

We have come here every year we spend a week since they have opened and lived the experience. This trip the bartender service was subpar, they seemed a little distracted vs what was going on with the customers and the food was overly salty that I couldn’t eat it. They were kind to remove from the bill and we didn’t ask them too. This is normally my first go to when we come to town but sadly it may have moved to my second. We will be back and hopefully the service and food will improve.
