So instead we are awkwardly shuffled into the bar and given one menu. Couldn't even focus on the options I hate when restaurants are a bait and switch with an uncomfortable atmosphere. The waiter then comes and doesn't introduce himself or say hello in anyway he just blurts out are you ready for wine? Keep in mind we are only allowed one menu so no I haven't had a chance to look at anything and you also lied on the phone to get us to take a trip up the gondola only to make us feel unwelcome. We decided to leave and hated every second of the experience. Coming from Los Angeles and having worked in restaurants for years they should look up the concept of modern fine dining where you offer a friendly relaxed environment while also providing exceptional food and service. This restaurant is a relic of a time where restaurants could treat you like trash and expect you to return.

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.

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 would come back to Smuggler union try other menu items next time we return to Telluride.

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.

We also had some delicious drinks- the skinny marg was my favorite as well as the aperol spritz! I would highly recommend going here on a day where you could sit outside. They had live music as well. The inside is not as exciting and gets super crowded on a really cold day, so not quite as fun. Overall perfect place for a quick bite and drink while on the slopes.

Vince the bartender makes sure that not only your drinks are fabulous but really welcomes you to the resort and Gorrono. Also pretty great deal to get an $8 beer right on the mountain. Also while you're relaxing, you can get your ski/board waxed or edges sharpened for $20. This is a must stop place if you're skiing Telly and also the merch is AWESOME!!

I loved that they had cocktails at this very unassuming little spot. We ate breakfast here on our way out of town and it was the perfect "see ya next time, Telluride" meal. The brekkie options are between $13 and $18, so not super cheap, but very conveniently located, great options, and good tasting food. Treat yourself to a cinnamon role (ask them to warm it up) if they have any left. It's the kind of place where you order at the front and take a number to your table. Seating is limited but it never seemed totally slammed (though I didn't see them during peak lunch hours on a weekend). If you're looking for a quicker brekkie that gives you the option to booze it up, and has great coffee to boot, this is a pretty solid little place.
