There Telluride - TELLURIDE

Fantastic ambiance, kind knowledgeable staff, great Brussels, mushrooms and duck buns and Hustler etc. cocktails.

We walked in (first-timers) late in the afternoon. The two bartenders/servers are friendly and helpful. There was a gentleman with a beard who identified himself as a restaurant manager as he sat at the far end of the bar, but I never understood if he ran the establishment. We had a canned light amber IPA and a fruity rum and coconut drink. My son had canned Soto sake. That was okay. The seasoned popcorn was interesting to snack on as we waited for food. My son had the pair of duck confit Bao buns. I had the small raw salmon dish. 4 hours later, I regretted eating the salmon dish...as I ended up with food poisoning tonight after eating my small fish dish here for dinner today on 09/04/24. The toilet is now my good friend, three times. It's not a fun way to spend the evening on a vacation trip to Telluride. Lesson learned.

I know when it comes to Telluride, it's really hard to go wrong. The food service industry there has it down. And having lived worked there for the better part of two years, I know. But There REALLY has things dialed in. Of all the times I've been there for drinks, dinner or apres ski, I have literally never had a bad experience. The drinks are amazing, pretty much everything on the menu. The food is more of a tapas type, smaller portion. But oh, so, delicious. ? The staff really know how to run the place given how busy they get. Again, never a bad experience. Make There a must stop if you're in town.

Absolutely fun environment! The bartender addressed the whole bar to celebrate a birthday guest with a shot ski! Lights, megaphone, and applause!!! I enjoyed the tiki painkiller, which was absolutely amazing! The bao buns were so soft and pillowy, the pork was well seasoned and tender. Next time I go, I will be trying them with duck! Can 't go wrong with the marinated cucumbers either. So full of flavor!!! Make a reservation! It 's worth it!

Cocktails are great, but this location has grown quite pretentious..and menu prices have increased $5/ drink. For the price you pay, you could enjoy a much better experience.
