We had a very nice dining experience at Black Iron Kitchen and Bar…read more We came in for dinner on a Thursday night. The restaurant was packed so we were happy to get a table. The inside of the restaurant is warm and cozy. The outside has beautiful fire pit seating. We sat inside. Our server Reka was professional and attentive. Very knowledgeable about the menu and what options were available. Her assistant, An, was so sweet and friendly. He always had a smile on his face and even offered to take our photo when I pulled out my phone. The table was beautifully appointed. Every item we ordered was delicious. We started with the Cheddar Biscuits- grilled benton's bacon, pimento cheese, pickled onion. Very tasty. I ordered the king trumpet pasta and added chicken. The chicken was tender and the pasta dish had good flavor. My husband ordered the salmon with Risotto. He orders salmon quite often and said this was one of the best salmon dishes he has ever eaten. Our friends ordered the shorts ribs as well as a salad and added chicken. Both really enjoyed their meals. I would say they could have done a better job with the martini. It wasn't very cold and not filled to the rim. The old fashions were okay as well. Overall we enjoyed dining here. It's beautiful and our service was excellent.

Solid delivery of, let's say, Colorado Classics. The ambiance is amazing - they could film movies here it is so picturesque. Our service was top-tier and I'll add the employees there have some (overly) demanding clientele. There must be a business relationship with the lodging's time-share business, because there were a few overly 'entitled' diners. I get it: you're an 'Owner', but hey- it's a timeshare... you're not *that* fancy :) Definitely recommend - and everyone be good to your servers and they'll return the karma.

We chose Allred's to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday while vacationing in Telluride because of…read moreits outstanding reputation. There is no denying that the setting is spectacular. The gondola ride and panoramic mountain views are breathtaking and were, without question, the highlight of our evening. Unfortunately, the dining experience itself didn't live up to the reputation or the price. Our dinner for two, including gratuity, was approximately $325, and we expected the level of food, service, and attention to detail that comes with a premier fine-dining restaurant. The meal started with promise. The lump crab corn soup was creamy and flavorful, but despite its name, there was barely any lump crab. I found myself searching for it throughout the bowl. It was enjoyable, but I expected much more considering the description and the caliber of the restaurant. The hamachi crudo was also underwhelming. While it was beautifully presented, the flavors were forgettable and lacked the freshness and balance we expected. My boyfriend summed it up best when he said he wouldn't even rank it as "okay." Unfortunately, the entrées never reached the "wow" factor that so many reviews led us to expect. My Dayboat Alaskan Halibut was slightly dry, and while the fish was well seasoned, the accompaniments were so tangy that they completely overpowered the delicate flavor of the fish. My boyfriend's Pan Seared Elk Sirloin was cooked beautifully, but the purée served alongside it simply wasn't very good and didn't complement the meat. Neither entrée left us saying, "We'd come back just to order that again," which is exactly the feeling I hope to have after spending over $300 on dinner. Dessert was enjoyable, but it wasn't enough to change our overall impression. My boyfriend's Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake was the better of the two desserts, while my seasonal peach tart was pleasant but not particularly memorable. Like the rest of the meal, both desserts were beautifully presented, but the flavors didn't leave a lasting impression. The service also lacked the attention to detail expected at a restaurant of this caliber. Our server never brushed the crumbs from our table between courses, and although I had clearly noted on our reservation that we were celebrating my boyfriend's birthday, no one ever acknowledged it with a simple "Happy Birthday." We weren't expecting a complimentary dessert or special treatment, but recognizing a special occasion is a thoughtful touch that many fine-dining restaurants consistently provide. The atmosphere was also disappointing. I understand Telluride embraces a relaxed mountain culture, but guests were dining in flip-flops, which took away from what should have felt like a special-occasion dining experience. Even more concerning, the woman seated next to us was vaping inside the restaurant. It became bothersome enough that I finally got up and politely asked her to stop myself. I was surprised that the staff never noticed or addressed it. Guests should never have to intervene in that situation. Overall, we left feeling that we paid for the incredible location and views more than the food or service. The scenery is unquestionably five stars, but the dining experience simply didn't justify the price. Allred's has a five-star view, but in our experience, the food, service, and overall atmosphere fell well short of the reputation that brought us there.

Always love coming to Smuggler's when we visit Telluride! Always a five star chicken sandwich!…read moreIt's not something I normally order other places, but it's absolutely delicious here. They give you lots of condiments to top it with. By the time I got done building it, it was about 4 inches high. Lettuce, tomato, pickled onions, bacon, provolone, avocado... Chicken was moist. Aioli was fabulous. Thank you for always having gluten-free buns for us!!! We also enjoyed the fresh brewed root beer and ginger beer. The table and benches were very clean- super important to me!

Made us feel welcome right away and we got some popcorn while we waited to put drinks in. Even on this extremely busy night the bartender made sure to get our drinks in and we have had an amazing mezcal cocktail. It took awhile to get the food in but once we did we were in heaven. The ceviche was amazing and we got the Brussel sprouts to complement it. The steamed buns and pork were so good we ordered another one. Sitting at the bar felt like an event and the music was fun. Really enjoyed everything about the experience.

Note that, while they take OpenTable reservations, it's a very intimate restaurant with limited seating--so go early! We had drinks (wine! all great) and dinner at There and loved every bite. Here's what we tried food-wise: -Brussel sprouts: This dish was all crispy, roasted bussel sprouts leaves, so good. -Duck leg bao buns: Amazing! The duck was so tender, and there was a nice slight kick to the sauce. -Lamb kebab: The lamb was great, and I really liked the sauce that same with it. Service was excellent--so helpful and nice, in that laid-back Telluride way.

It's conveniently located in town and near a few hiking trails. One of the times I went here I actually walked over after a hike. They have two outdoor patios, a back room, bar area, and front room... oh, and a bay window with more seating. This is a very popular spot for the locals. During the day it was very busy and a little noisy; I was glad there was outdoor space to eat as well. I tried their tea, burgers, chicken and fries. Everything I had here was delicious and fresh! I highly recommend it here. I can't wait to go back and stop in again. If you're looking for quality, fresh food, you should go here!
