“Rooms: Small but cozy.

Nearby activities: Bars and sauna!

Safety: I felt this area was very safe. Ouray is a small town.

Walkability: If you're planning to stay on Main and 8th, all of your food and drink needs are within walking distance. If you're looking for places to splurge on luxury items you'd have to drive a lot further.“

“Great beer. Great people. Good food“

“Great food and great atmosphere!“

“Tammee and her crew catered our daughters wedding in Ouray this past weekend. Fabulous doesn’t start to describe! She also did the cake which stole the show! Several comments I have gotten since included ‘best wedding cake I’ve ever tasted’ to ‘top 3 cake in my lifetime’. We followed up by going to the cafe on Sunday where again the food was fantastic! If you need an event caterer or a place for lunch/dinner True Grit is the place!“

“Great experience at The National. The service and ambiance is very good. The food exceptional. The only thing that was missing, was a cherry in my Old Fashion. But that was quickly corrected by our waiter. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience that is shoulders above the usual Telluride fare.“

“Lots of options for vegans (which is very welcome in this town!) but go early in the lunch hour as they run out. Limited hours for lunch only and I finally made it in this time. Had the detox salad and roasted root veggies that were tasty. Will be back!“

“The service was excellent, but the food…hot and cold (NO pun intended). My black bean soup was excellent, and so was the salmon. In fact, the salmon was one of the best I’ve ever had. The Crispy Shrimp & Calamari, shared at the table, wasn’t really crispy at all. It had a tiny bit of sauce drizzled over it, but most pieces didn’t get touched by it, so you had to either ask for a side of dipping sauce (which we didn’t) or eat it plain. Also, there were hardly any shrimp in with the calamari. My Caesar Salad was awful. Before ordering, I confirmed that the dressing was made in house, but it was a tasteless, bland, cream colored, nondescript thin liquid, without a hint of garlic. I didn’t complain, but I tried my only other option of adding plenty of salt and pepper, which just didn’t help. We didn’t order dessert, so I can’t comment on that element. Overall, I think Cosmo’s is a very fine restaurant, but maybe we just didn’t choose well. I would certainly go back, but I would never order the Caesar again, and I would carefully discuss the calamari with the server before committing to it.“

“As a local, I have loved Kate’s for several years. However, I do NOT like the recent changes. The beloved home fries are gone and replaced with frozen diced potatoes- very disappointing. You can’t upgrade your bread option to a pancake anymore, either.“

“We recently had the pleasure of having our wedding dinner at the Ridgway, and it was nothing short of phenomenal! From the moment we inquired about hosting our event, the staff was incredibly accommodating and attentive to our needs.

The ambiance of the restaurant is simply stunning, striking the perfect balance between elegance and warmth. We were able to customize the seating arrangement to match our wedding party needs.

The food was a highlight of the evening! Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the every dish they ordered.

What truly made our experience special was the outstanding service. The staff was friendly and professional, making sure that everything ran smoothly. They attended to our guests' needs with a smile, which contributed to the overall joyful atmosphere of our celebration.

We are so grateful to The Ridgway for making our wedding dinner a memorable occasion. If you're looking for a fantastic venue with delicious food and exceptional service, check them out!

Thank you for everything!“

“Definitely the elote soup and the great service“

“We had the best experience tonight at Brown Dog Pizza! Excellent food and service. Barrett was very attentive and just as sweet as he could be!! Definitely will be back!“

“My wife and I are local residents and frequent customers of this excellent restaurant. We have had nothing but good experiences. Good food and good service. Chris and the staff do great work. Highly recommend this restaurant to everyone“

“Laid back spot in Telluride. Fun atmosphere. A lot of kids, so if you are looking for "adult" this isn't it. But Charlie (one of the owners) tells a great story and works the room, and all the deserts and hand made by Floradora, so it is a local treat.“

“Good food, casual atmosphere. Bartender was so nice. Football on TV. Snowing outside. Lots of fun!“
