This was our first trip to Telluride/Mountain Village in Colorado. Our reservations were at 6 pm and we were the first to arrive. Sebastian was our server and he was very tentative to our questions and taking our orders. We had a bottle of the Cabernet Sauvignon - Bruce - from California. The wine was outstanding and was suggested by the bartender as a replacement for the bottle we originally ordered. He was spot on and enjoyed it greatly. My daughter and I ordered Elk Bolognese and it was outstanding! My husband and the Smash Burger and he was very satisfied with his choice. As other reviews state- the View from this restaurant is awesome!

Love the new menu. We’ve been dining here for almost 15 years—the views are truly incredible—and this is definitely my favorite menu to date. An intriguing wine list also. Better quality food than Tomboy tavern and better ambiance.

Service and venue were good, but the fish i had was overcooked. For the price paid I almost sent it back. Pasta was also over cooked. We expected better from this restaurant.

Cool inside lodge feel. The food tasted fine - we had the trout and the elk bolognese. However, at $48 the trout was way over priced in a state that has trout everywhere! Not a lot of bolognese on the noodles either.
