It is a great place to kick back and hang out with friends or on a date night. They also have outdoor seating with some fire pits.

The staff and bar tenders are always friendly and are more than happy to help with any suggestions or questions from the menu.

Libby gave us fantastic menu recommendations, and when I told her I had never tried a Monte Cristo before, she assured me theirs would be a great first experience -- she was absolutely right! My husband ordered the double beef patty green chile burger and wow... our food was outstanding. Beyond the amazing food and service, Libby was a true ambassador for the city. She shared local activities, town hotspots, and even recommended a hidden jazz speakeasy. Honestly, the Chamber should hire her! She made our visit feel warm, welcoming, and memorable.

Had the chicken parm, pasta aglio, regular salad and Cesar - salads were fresh and tasty. We've…read morebeen on the road for a week and in the mood for Italian, but we might be too picky to rate these dishes properly. We prefer when the chicken is pounded flatter and still crispy under the sauce. If you prefer it thick, this was a nice serving. The pasta aglio had a healthy amount of garlic and parm and was very tasty -- this was just on the edge of being overcooked but close enough to el dente. All the plates being served around us looked very good too. Very nice atmosphere in this quaint restaurant - wait staff was very attentive and kind.

I got the Italian sausage with artichoke and the pepperoni with green chile. The chile didn't really have much spice. Happy hour on beers so I tried pina colada beer which I personally hated but my boyfriend liked it. Only complaint is that happy hour should be listed better than on a tiny snowboard on the wall. Also better at distinguishing between lunch specials and happy hours.

We started with the salads, which were phenomenal- absolutely huge portions and incredibly fresh. The pizza itself was spectacular. Even though the restaurant was pretty busy, the service was impressively quick and attentive, and the environment was great to hang out in. Before we left, we got some of their dessert dough balls to go--both the apple pie and the cinnamon flavors. They were absolutely delicious and the perfect sweet finish. Overall, just a wonderful meal and a great atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

We loved seating at the bar and talking with the owners and some regulars. They have tables in the main area with a big screen tv, a cozy corner in the back with a sofa, deck seating outside and tables and chairs by the backyard music stage. Although they do not offer food in house, you can order from a few local restaurants, just ask the bartender for menus. I highly recommend the Gaslamp Tavern for anyone passing through the beautiful town of South Fork.

The wait for a table was a bit longer than I expected, but once I sat down, the food more than made up for it. I started with the Baked Meatball Grinder as an appetizer. The meatball itself was tender and flavorful, but the baguette was on the tougher side, which made it a little hard to bite into. Still, the taste of the meatball carried the dish. For my main course, I ordered the Bolognese with Salmon as my protein, and this ended up being the highlight of the meal. The pasta was cooked just right, the salmon was perfectly prepared, and the wagyu beef sauce tied everything together beautifully. Honestly, if I was not so full, I could have easily gone for another plate. Overall, this place is a good choice in Durango if you are in the mood for hearty Italian comfort food. I will definitely be back the next time I am in town.

A group of four of us ate at Ania's Table at the hotel Lumiere. The food and experience was…read moreexcellent, until Kenny (Ania's husband) made the evening less than excellent. 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.

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.

We were seated right away - and they were slammed! Despite this, we had a very attentive server. I ordered the poutine as my meal, and it was seriously some of the best. It was absolutely loaded with cheese curds and gravy - they didn't skimp on anything! I swear there were multiple layers of curds on top of each layer of fries. The gravy was perfect, too - not too salty and so full of flavor. My wife got the catfish basket and was happy with her choice as well - though she may have been a bit jealous of my poutine! No idea if or when I'll ever be back in Pagosa Springs, but I will definitely stop here again if I am.

The restaurant was clearly popular, with a packed parking lot and a steady line of guests waiting for tables. While the outdoor seating wait was about 30 minutes, we were pleasantly surprised to be seated indoors right away. The atmosphere is lively and energetic, though it can get quite loud during busy times. I ordered the Rio Brisket Tacos and appreciated the happy hour discount, which made them an even better value. The Chokecherry Habanero Margarita was a standout, offering just the right balance of flavor and heat. My son tried the Homesick Texas Steak Sandwich along with a homemade root beer and thought they were decent. Service was a bit inconsistent during our visit, but the staff seemed to be managing a very busy crowd. The restaurant's popularity was evident when we overheard that the wait time had grown to an hour and a half by the time we left. Overall, while the experience didn't completely meet our expectations, it's easy to see why this spot draws such a crowd. The unique drink offerings, happy hour specials, eating by the river and strong local following may make it worth a visit for travelers passing through the area.
