This is a Telluride staple conveniently located by the gondola station. An absolute date night location. The food is always amazing and the cocktail menu is always spot on for the seasons.

A beautiful restaurant with excellent food and good and professional service. By far the best restaurant we visited in Telluride and, refreshingly, not compelling diners down a Price Fixed approach. The starters were outstanding, the volcano rolls and calamari in particular. The mains were delivered hot and were exceptional too- this is clearly a talented chef and kitchen team. Thank you.

Our server,Peter was excellent, very attentive and made good recommendations. I had the crispy shrimp and calamari and my husband had the seared scallops. Our entrees were smoked duck breast and a filet with mushrooms for him. Unfortunately we had a touch of altitude sickness so we ended up taking some of it to go. The lighting and music were perfect. We would highly recommend as everything is chef imagined with perfect companions and plating. On a happier note we had an amazing breakfast the next morning of all of the above. The service and food make this a worthwhile choice.

Thank you so very much for the excellent review. We are bummed about your altitude sickness though. Hope it went away quickly.

We love Cosmopolitan! The blackberry margarita was a great way to start the meal. Shared butternut squash soup and the beet salad-both delicious. For main course our server recommend the chicken and pork chop. Both were superb. Thanks for another special meal.
