Greek yogurt bowl
Kara M.

Beautiful views, great menu, and solid food for a ski town. Probably one of the better meals we had throughout our stay, albeit a bit pricy, but at this point if you're going to spend $50+ on lunch, you may as well get the good stuff! Our server was also excellent. We went in for a late brunch/early lunch. The menu offered mostly breakfast items with a few salads and sandwiches. The French dip is 100% worth the money - it was so good! Perfectly cooked, soft, tasty bread, great horseradish and au jus. Add the truffle fries for the perfect side. Avocado toast was okay. Bread was soft but the avocado was minimal and sliced vs. mashed and spread. The smoked salmon add-on was generous and very fresh. The Greek yogurt bowl is pricy but hits the spot if you enjoy berries, tart Greek yogurt, and a sticky Colorado honeycomb. Overall, we very much enjoyed our visit and regret not eating here more often throughout our stay!

Amazing View
Danielle H.

Wonderful! My boyfriends planned thanksgiving dinner, so I did not know what to expect. I was so impressed with it all. The hotel location, the restaurant, the service and the food were all exceptional. We decided to have a lunch/dinner and arrive around 20 minutes early at 3:00pm. We were seating by a large window and our coats were taken. The views were unreal, so beautiful and we got to see a plane land as well. They had a preset dinner around $90 per person and it was so worth it. Three course meal which did not disappoint. It was so plentiful; you can best believe that we had leftovers. The Salmon was my favorite, but everything was so tasty. Jeannine was our waitress, and she was phenomenal. She was working on Thanksgiving Day which I'm sure was difficult and yet she was beyond friendly, professional and great at her job. Also, the blonde maitre'd at the front who took our coat was so nice. She was another standout for this meal. This experience couldn't have gone better (minus a mild dress code, there was a mother and son near us who were very drunk and loud in a t shirt) but that wasn't a big deal. I highly recommend for Thanksgiving dinner, and I look forward to coming back to try a date night here. Wonderful 5/5 experience!

Sun setting over Wilson

Sitting on the patio at Altezza watching the sun set over Wilson is a must do experience. Best view in Telluride. The food and drinks are delicious. I also love that I can bring my kids or have a girls happy hour and the atmosphere works for both. 10/10. I recommend the steak with a great glass of wine from the never ending wine list.

Local 291 Bourbon
Ron J.

Spectacular views and great service from the restaurant staff. If you stay there kids 10 and under eat free. I appreciated the restaurant and bar hours were later and allowed for flexibility in when to eat. We ate multiple meals at the restaurant. I enjoyed the elk. The rest of the food was perhaps a bit over priced for what we received. Food Allergies | Huge shout out to the chef and staff at Altezza. The chef came out to speak with us about our boys food allergies to help us all feel better. We ordered steaks with salt and pepper, broccolini with olive oil and steamed rice. The pours and cocktails were reasonably priced at the bar and I was able to try a few local whiskey brands. Travis was a great bar tender and remembered my everytime I walked in. See video of bar

Burger with side Caesar
Ally B.

Honestly, did not have high expectations and was pleasantly surprised! We came in for brunch for my birthday and I received a complimentary glass of champagne to start. I ordered the muffuletta and was suggested to get the truffle fries on the side (great rec!!). My partner got the burger which was just so-so he said but WOW was is picture worthy (mine doesn't do it justice... don't judge). We were all very happy with our choices and the views were pretty unreal. Disappointed as there was supposed to be live music during Sunday brunch but not a knock to the staff here.

Elk tenderloin
Kathryn S.

Excellent bar and restaurant. We had a delicious dinner of elk tenderloin and trout plus a wedge salad and strawberry shortcake for dessert. Waiter was in training and was very attentive until the very end. View is excellent but it was cloudy.

Sunset
J Warren R.

Come here for the sunset views. Just spectacular. Food is good and comforting. The Etouffee is a signature from the home of the Louisiana chef. Good service, not outstanding, satisfactory. Large quiet dining room. Good wine selection by the glass. Panoramic sunset views are worth the trip.

can't be this view! truffle fries were amazing. I got pear salad that was very good! Would recommend

Sunset view from our table

One of the most amazing dinners of my life! I will remember this experience for a long time. After a dreamy golden hour gondola ride from Telluride to Mountain Village, we got to the restaurant just in time for an amazing sunset over the San Juan Mountains. We were about 20 minutes early for our reservation, but the hostess seated us immediately anyway. I was in awe of our view of the snow capped mountains and golden aspen trees the whole time we ate. Our waitress was great, super friendly and attentive. And the food was great, I had the elk tenderloin. Delicious! At our waitress' recommendation, we had the seasonal peach cobbler, and it did not disappoint! Everything was amazing. I can't wait to go back one day.

Fried Brussel sprouts

Amazing service by Eric! The food was hot and good! They were accommodating to allergies too.

We absolutely loved Telluride Distilling Company! It's a cozy, welcoming spot with plenty of…read moreseating and comfortable chairs, making it a great place to relax for a while. One of the biggest perks is that dogs are welcome inside as long as they're on a leash, which was a huge plus for us traveling with Luna. I ordered the peach vodka slushy, and it was delicious--light, refreshing, and not overly sweet. The bartender was incredibly friendly, helped us choose our drinks, and took the time to chat with us for a bit. Based on his recommendation, we even ended up buying a bottle of bourbon to take home. They don't serve food, but they do have small bags of chips available if you want a quick snack while enjoying your drink. We also learned that Telluride allows open containers in designated areas, so you can take your drink to go if you purchase it from a participating establishment, which was a fun bonus. The décor is warm and inviting, and the overall atmosphere made us want to stay longer. Excellent drinks, outstanding service, and a dog-friendly environment--highly recommend stopping in if you're visiting Telluride!

The bartender had us try a few beers and we were sadly not very impressed. We ordered the Face Down Brown Ale that had won a bunch of awards but after a few sips it was just very bitter and almost tasted like a porter. For food we ordered the cheese curds. Although the pineapple dip that came with it was delicious, the curds themselves were very dry and disappointing. If you want a quick draft beer then Telluride is a good option but if you like breweries and pub food then maybe go somewhere else.

Overwhelmed by food. Underwhelmed by service…read more A bartender where we had dinner recommended this place for after dinner drinks. When I saw some of the menu I wanted to try a couple of things. The deviled egg sounded intriguing & I saw the lemon cake was GF. The deviled egg came out like something you would see at a Michelin starred restaurant. The deviled egg was served in the eggs shell with a custard at the bottom and egg white foam on top. It tasted just like a deviled egg but super unique. The lemon cake was great too. My drink was like a vesper with grapefruit flavors, it was really good. I love how the space is very warm and cozy like you'd see at a mountain resort, a fireplace, couch, etc. What was underwhelming was the service, it just didn't measure up to the food, drinks and ambiance. We had to walk up to the bar to get our waters filled so it felt kind of self service, like you had to get up and ask for things. Mind you, there were 4 people seated there including us. And when I asked what made the lemon cake GF the bartender said he'd go & ask the kitchen but he said no one was there so he didn't know so I rolled the dice & ordered it anyways. I still would come back just not expect great service.

I'll start by saying that Timber Room was so good, we ate there two nights in a row, even though…read morethere were so many other options! Vibe - upscale, mountain sexy. If I were single and lived in Telluride, I'd literally just pop myself in a couple nights a week to sip wine in the lounge-style seating area to soak in the atmosphere and meet some new friends. Cocktails - out. of. this. world. I had the gin drink and my partner had the Woody Manhattan (their take on a black Manhattan). Both were phenomenal. Wine List - seriously, I was so impressed with this list. Not only was it EXTENSIVE, but there were a LOT of reasonably priced, very good bottles. Bartenders - Ian, Ruven, and Lilly were all incredible. They were attentive, engaging, knew the menu, and, again, the drinks were on point! Food - hands-down, their charcuterie board is the winner here. The selection of meats and cheese was excellent and the quality was right on par. Elk tartare was unique and smokey, and the trout rillette was *chef's kiss.* There were only two disappointing items: The flatbread - Ruven pointed out that it wasn't exactly "flat," but we ordered it anyway. It was thick and pretty dense compared to what you're expect. The second item was the baguette served with the charcuterie board - it was very stale. As someone who LOVES bread, I was disappointed that it didn't match the rest of the experience, especially because good bread is clutch for a chacuterie board.

Our party witnessed Kenny having multiple glasses of wine throughout the evening, and this likely contributed to our issues. After a delicious meal and experience we were presented with a receipt that erroneously stated we had one more drink than we ordered. The meal was over $800, so a $20 drink error should have been corrected with no issues. However Kenny insisted he was correct, and then we overheard him say to cancel our reservation. 30 minutes after we paid (including the extra drink we did not order) our Open Table reservation was canceled so now we can't leave a review on Open Table. Dine here at your own risk. The food is delicious, but be aware of drinking issues by the chef's husband.

When was the last time you ate somewhere and then cancelled your next evening's reservation…read moreelsewhere so that you could return to this same restaurant again? Yes - it is that good. Let me give you the deets: First of all...it is up at Mountain Village. The Little Bar at the Lumiere (per OpenTable.com), is nicely located at the intimate 28-room* Lumiere Hotel (near the gondolas). You take the garage elevator to the 4th floor and voila...swanky, cozy, elegant lounge. It is IMHO (in my honest opinion) TELLURIDE'S BEST KEPT SECRET! A Conde Nast top 100 hotel...and the bar + restaurant is exceptional. Lumiere Little Bar staff Kat and Alex took excellent care of us as we selected a cozy corner of this beautifully understated, mountain cozy bar lounge. The fireplaces, lounge tunes (think Zero 7 and Bitter:Sweet), and ambiance here are like a Four Seasons private residence lounge, but with even better food! I knew we were in for a treat when we asked each of these lovely Lumiere ambassadors what they like on the menu, and both were GUSHING about the food...and both struggled to find the words to explain just why the dishes tasted so good. It was geniune...honest...they were still gushing. We started to get the idea that perhaps we were going to be amazed with our dishes no matter which ones we chose. We chose items based on their recommendations: the caesar salad, short rib taco, mushroom lasagna. We weren't starving since we had a large lunch, but we were eager to see what all this fuss was about! First up was the bread basket. It included a couple of lovely, warmed ciabatta rolls (whole grain wheat and plain) with salted butter. Excellent, traditional start. Then the caesar. The caesar dressing is amazing. Magic. Made with...love? The balance of lemon, garlic, white anchovy, the texture of the parmesan...wow. Best caesar in memory. Truly. Then, the short rib taco. OMG. Three letters. F*c%$ng Awesome. Fourteen letters. Either way, it rocked. The flavors in it...salty, tangy, sweet...umami. Perfection. The lasagna...WOW. Three letters again. F*c7$ng Incredible. You do the math. Meantime, I'm eating the lasagna. (Diversion - that's my strategy.) The lasagna...deconstructed to a certain degree with a melange of vegetables and lentils off to the side, with a gorgeously fried tofu cube...the crispy lasagna pasta layers atop creamy goat cheese, ricotta...mushrooms. Right about now, I started to formulate my strategy to maintain room for dessert. That lemon tart with chocolate, hazelnut crust, vanilla whipped creme and berry compote...definitely had my number. As in 911. Urgent and immediate attention required. The dessert arrived and you know you love someone (or you're just pretty mind-blowingly thoughtful) when you put down your fork and say, "...oh no - you go ahead and eat the rest. I'm full." I did not even remember to take a picture before devouring it. I could have eaten an entire tart by myself. Not one 'dessert' portion. The whole tart. I can peddle up the mountain again tomorrow to burn those calories, I think to myself. Piece of tart, err um, I mean cake. I learned that Chef Eamonn O'Hara is the magic man behind the curtain. I think we ought to erect a monument in his name. My guy suggested an addition to Mt Rushmore. I say Rushmore isn't thinking big enough. Yep - it's passionate, head-over-heels-love at Foodie first taste Mr. O'Hara. Meantime, I guess we'll just have to go back tomorrow night for another dining revelation as we figure out to get this guy's magic to reach us back home in Boulder, CO. For now, I just say make this a MUST DINE while in Telluride or the surrounding, say, 500 miles. Alex, Kat, Chef Eamonn...You da bomb. We'll see you in 24. *18 guest rooms, 10 residences as we learned. In any case, it's intimate, charming and understated.

Always great drinks and their food is absolutely outstanding. And for the most part their service is absolutely impeccable. White glove service all the way. In the past we've had tomato soup, their burrata, and seasonally they do like a fish board. It is well worth the money. One small note for our most recent visit of October 2026. They tried to pull a scam on our bill. We ordered Manhattans and asked for whatever their Well liquor was. When we got the bill, they charged us for a more expensive bourbon at essentially $26 a glass. When we asked one of the other bartenders, who worth noting, was not our original bartender, he looked it up and said that our drinks should have been $18. When we called that out, our original server/ bartender came back and said oh, we'll comp you the a drink to make up the difference. However, it was still over $30 over charged. One of the managers came up to us obviously seeing the problem. We explained to her and she ended us comping us a couple of drinks and fixed the bill. While that was the right thing to do, we were more than happy to pay them the right price of the drinks in the first place. So this is just a general note, and especially here, always check your bill. We'll still come back, because I refuse to believe it's a general problem and likely a single staff member problem. But it's disheartening when it's presumed a certain something, specifically, people don't check their bill around here because it's presumed a certain economic staus. And you're just going to slap down your credit card and pay and walk away. It's worth noting that in our previous visits we've never had a problem, everything has been correct, it's been a stellar experience and it's been nothing to complain about.

Even some gochujang would have done the trick. Sriracha isn't vegan and has no real heat. Telluride really loves very safe bland flavors. I get catering to middle America but get brave with your sauces to give normal eaters some options please! I'd go back but probably will smuggle in some toppings because ramen without any heat isn't ramen worth eating.
