Our sever Kaya was super friendly and attentive. We ordered the buffalo chicken wings. They were quite tasty. Mouse on the inside and crispy on the outside. Each of us ordered the bloody Mary's.

It is also attached to the Camel's Garden Hotel so a convenient location. The bartenders, cashiers and other staff seamed friendly. They were in and out delivering food and cleaning up after everyone quickly. Drinks came quickly and were nice pours. For food, we ordered the steak fries, very good. Crispy outside, tender inside. Nachos were also very tasty. Real cheese not the sauce type fake cheese. Good toppings. The pork sandwich was a little dry and needed seasoning and sauce. The burger was a little dry as well, not cooked to order and the bun was dry and fell apart. But it came with all the toppings. Inside the restaurant were several families. Packed! Kids running around everywhere. It was way too chaotic for us personally so we sat outside. The patio was busy every afternoon with people and pups alike. I was sad to see so many people leave their dogs outside on the patio unattended, barking and whining looking for their person while they are inside drinking and dining. This happened every day so it seams normal. Telluride is a very dog friendly town. Overall good for after ski atmosphere. There seamed to always be some activity happening outside to watch or participate.

But every time I come here, a male staff member, Khris, compliments and circles us for the entirety of our meal. It gets to a point where we feel very uncomfortable because he continually stares and hovers behind us. As a woman in customer service, I understand the importance of making connections with customers to ensure a positive experience, the difference is that the compliments are targeted towards our appearances and he (Khris) never approaches or talks to the male customers - only the young females. Me and my friends would like to keep coming here, because otherwise it's always a nice experience, but we would encourage young girls to be aware when they go.

It was on the noisy side, but then again, I chose the bar as a place to eat. I would have given this place a 3 star rating, put the Catfish was wonderful. I wish the proportions were bigger.

We stopped in for dinner this past week while visiting Telluride…read more It was busy but we were able to get a table. Our sever Levi was very friendly, attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. For drinks we ordered dirty martinis. They were filled to the rim which was nice but could have been colder. The menu looked great. We went with burgers. We ordered the Smokehouse burger medium rare with cheddar, house bbq, crispy onions, bacon plus all the toppings. It was cooked perfectly. It came with a spicy slaw. So delicious. We also ordered the Truffle mushroom burger medium with a mixture of cremini, oyster, shiitake mushrooms plus Swiss cheese and truffle aioli plus all the toppings. It was cooked perfectly medium. It also came with the delicious slaw. The buns were a bit big but at least they were soft and delicious. The dessert. So tasty. Honestly $27 is pricy for a burger but it was very good.

We got lucky and snagged three seats at the bar... and so glad we did! The bartenders were both very friendly, made great recommendations and handled a very busy bar/restaurant with patience. As far as food goes- we got the tuna appetizer which was very good. Not something most would order from a pub but their sister restaurant is actually the sushi place up the street, so they source from the same place. We also got the potato tots that were very good as well. Basically just fried cheesy mashed potatoes. Finally, we shared the buffalo wings which were delicious!! Some of the best wings I have ever had! The flavor was great and the chicken as moist. We actually attempted to go back again the next night and ran into a bit an attitude at the hostess stand, so decided to go elsewhere. Overall, we had a great experience and I would certainly go back.
