I can't believe I haven't rated this place yet! I live in the area since 2017. I have tried everything under the sun here. I think this is the best restaurant in the area. By area I mean telluride, mancos, Durango. It's a small limited seating. Best to book in advance. The food is like Spanish Mediterranean some emphasis on pork and seafood. My favorite is the rabbit gnocchi. Wine list is stellar. Service is professional. My wife and I lobby to have recruiting dinners here as well to really show off what the area has to offer. They are also accommodating to gluten intolerant folks. Some of our dinner accompanyment have the issue and they substitute no problem. I really can't say enough about the boathouse.

Fabulous dinner for our 20th anniversary. We come to The Boathouse for all our special occasions. The atmosphere, service and food choices are excellent. They have the best wine list on the Western slope. We plan many future visits. Can’t wait to bring our family to discover this gem we’ve found.

Incredible and delicious, this fabulous place in tiny Mancos is worth the drive. Delicious vermouth cocktails, flavorful and robust cinghiale wild boar pate, creamy mushroom risotto, duck medallions...exquisite chartreuse ice cream and a slice of rich chocolate cake. The owners were friendly and full of great information about each dish and we enjoyed meeting them.

What a lovely experience. We had a nice, refined meal with excellent service. The wine selection is impeccable. My husband said these were the cleanest oysters he's even eaten. Everything was delicious. Well done. Thank you

We were in the Mesa Verde NP area for a few days and decided that we deserved a night out from our travel trailer prepared dinners. We had reservations at 6 and they promptly seated us. Page was a great server - 5*+! After perusing the menu of the day we decided on a sampling of the very fresh and delicious Maine Oysters - as good as they get! We split a Caesar Salad complete with anchovies which was just excellent! We followed with the Pan Roasted Maine Halibut and the Rabbit and Gnocchi dish. The Halibut was cooked perfectly and the Rabbit and Gnocchi (with Iberian Pork Chorizo) was heavenly! The rabbit was perfectly done and was very similar to a slow roasted pork. Can’t go wrong! Desert was the Torte de Santiago - an orange almond flour cake - check out the powdered sugar design - but also it was delicious. In a town of 1200 people this is Ian outstanding dining experience! Hats off to everyone there!
Boathouse on Grand in Mancos is an outstanding restaurant run by the owners Jenn & Dave Stewart. We arrived on a Saturday night with friends and were greeted to a beautifully colorful, elegant, environment. Our server gave us 2 menus, one for food and one for an incredible selection of Wine, Sherry from Spain as well as Alcoholic & non Alcoholic beverages. Jenn came to the table to explain all the type of Sherry they serve and where they’re from in Spain. Our friends had the Sherry sampler, I had the Pinot Noir and my husband had the Black Manhattan which we all said were terrific. We ordered 4 appetizers to share, Lamb Meatballs with a fabulous sauce, marinated Spanish Olives, Spanish Octopus and the Beets & Burrata Salad. All were so unbelievably delicious and cooked to perfection. My husband and my friend had the Scallop dish for dinner which they loved, her husband had the Rabbit & Gnocci also loved, and I had the Porcini crusted Halibut which was the best Halibut I have ever eaten. We also shared 3 desserts, Carrot Cake, Lemon Meringue Cake & an incredible Espresso, Coffee Ice Cream, all fantastic!It is an amazing restaurant, a fabulous menu, terrific owners & servers so we will bring some new friends with us soon.

All I could say when I was leaving was phenomenal! It wasn't just a meal. This was a dining experience.
Got the smoked dark lager from Germany; very smokey, slightly nutty, and a little malty.
We got 4 different kinds of oysters. Each one was different. Not one tasted the same as the other kinds.
The rabbit and gnocchi were lite, but flavorful. The rabbit was not gamey, seasoned well in the broth. The gnocchi was slightly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
Never had jamon, but it melted in your mouth. Reminds me of prosciutto. But more flavor and it was different.
Must save room for the banana cream pie! So lite but full of flavor. I was so full, but I couldn't stop eating that pie! Your average banana cream pie has chunks of banana, this didn't as it had so much banana flavor.
This experience was 10/10. From the friendly service with the great recommendations. To the Spanish decor. I look forward to the next time I come here!

We called ahead and made reservations ( I would recommend it). The boathouse was amazing from the atmosphere, service, and food. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping. The chefs walked us through selecting and paring wine or sherry with our meal and shared stories. It's not just a restaurant but an experience.

Great food in a wonderful spot. Lots of street parking, very casual, small restaurant with excellent food. Very chill, local vibe. Just relax and be a genuine, chill person interested in their food and you’ll have a great time.

This is easily our favorite place for a nice dinner in the 4 corners region - It's our go-to for special occasions. The food is incredible - fresh, beautifully cooked, and satisfying. The atmosphere is adorable - I love that there are very limited tables. You can hear the laughter and fun from everyone in the dining room and it just builds a super sweet and cozy atmosphere. Our server is always sweet and knowledgeable and attentive, and they're committed to making sure all of their patrons are having a good time and never make them feel rushed. The Spanish vermouth is SO delicious, and their desserts are to die for. Any time we have any visitors in town, this is where I tell them to go.
