“Zach was top quality made perfect wine selection from a curated wine selection from the wine director Kenny, host i did not catch her name but the professional and quality atmosphere was clear as soon as you walked in. Back of house cooked everything perfect. Top quality across the board 👏“

“Wait staff was great…thank you Julia! We ordered all shareables for 3 of us. Crispy brussels, kushiyaki prawns, wagyu tartare, spicy cauliflower and lamb lollipops. Julia served each item with plenty of time in between so we could enjoy and savor the experience. Thank you and we’ll be back! Julie and Robin Marsh and Lynsey Marsh Bonebrake“

“My wife and I spent 3 days in Telluride enjoying this gem of a town and hiking to celebrate 46 years of marital bliss. We dined here Saturday evening and had a wonderful dining experience. The setting feels intimate and lent itself to quiet conversation even with a bridal party adjacent to us with 16 people. We loved our fig salad and my bronzino was perfectly prepared and filleted which I appreciated. My wife loved the corn and lump crab orzo which had a wonderful pairing of flavors. The Portuguese green wine was a delicious enhancement to the wonderfully prepared and presented food. The host recommended the cherry pie for dessert and it was even tastier than he led us to believe. Our server was helpful, unobtrusive but affable and polite. We had a fantastic evening and think this restaurant is the cat’s meow!“

“The food was delicious!! The chef & staff were amazing, can’t wait to go back!!“

“We visited Telluride in January. Brown Dog is not ordinary pizza. It was extraordinary-I’m completely ruined for pizza anywhere else! We’ve talked about this place countless times since our visit 8.5 months ago. The service was great (I believe our waitress was named Becca) and out of allll the great places we visited in Telluride and Mountain Village, this was the place we’re still talking about. Highly, highly recommend! I don’t know if I’ll ever get back to Telluride, but if I do, you’ll find me at Brown Dog Pizza!“

“Fantastic long weekend at Mountain Lodge Telluride. Perfect accommodations, friendly staff, and views out of this world! Steps away from world class skiing and a gondola ride away from some of the best restaurants and unique shopping! 10/10!“

“The bowls are sooo yummy. Eggs make me feel sick half the time but I am daydreaming about the way they cook their eggs. The honey sriracha is delicious as well. Very friendly staff. Definitely recommend for a yummy and affordable breakfast!“

“Never ever disappointed and chef Eliza is the best and always energetic and upping her game. The food is top quality with exceptional preparation detail to perfection. Presentation and service are always prompt, friendly and considerate.“

“I've been eating at Big Billies for over 10 years when I take my kids skiing. And you know, I don't have very high expectations. There will be burgers and fries and chicken fingers. But last weekend, wow! Not only do they have the salad bar (which is really pretty extensive, and had a very nice woman conscientiously making my salad) but also sides of grilled tempeh!? And grilled tofu?! Plus, the chef in the open kitchen, who I discovered is named Romaine, was absolutely kind and loving in her every interaction with diners. The women behind the counter were all friendly and helpful and positive. Honestly, it was a great experience! So much so that I thought, dang, I better go write a review. Nice Job, Big Billies!!!!“

“In a town of mediocre food & service this was a hidden gem. Cosy restaurant in The Hotel Telluride. Our party of 6 ate here 4 times & all were excellent. Guiseppe was a great host & always managed to find us a table when we arrived without a reservation. Service was quick & he was friendly & attentive. The special of the petit fillet with mash potatoes & asparagus plus a glass of wine for $26 was exceptional value. Dessert was very good as well. They even dropped us home afterwards in their hotel courtesy vehicle. Nice atmosphere in hotel lobby for a pre or after dinner drink in front of the fire. 1 night they had a live guitarist which was very nice. Can't fault the food or service. Would definitely eat here again“

“The view from Allred’s is amazing! The food was excellent! The service was excellent! Worth the money to go for the experience!“

“Su menú es excelente Ben a probar su nuevo menú es muy Rico“

“The honey baked bri is absolutely to die for. I'd drive 6 hours just for that!! Palestine burger was tasty as heck! My only complaint is maybe DONT sit the family of rowdy kids next to the couple obviously on a romantic date at the table for two by the window. There was plenty of other seating in the restaurant.“

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

“Literally THE best wedding food I’ve ever had. We hired them for my daughter’s wedding. Everyone, I mean everyone at the wedding raved. Just hire them. You will not be disappointed.“

“Fast n nice Just whipped in for bread puddin …was really good“

“Great burgers and chili nice staff“

“i went here yesterday and i just have to say the white mocha was absolutely delicious. The inside is beautiful as well and they have a lot on the menu. I recommend.“

“Server and food were exceptional. A little pricey but probably normal for Telluride. I think the dining room lights could be a little brighter for a 5:00 dinner since there isn't any natural light in the corner we were in. Overall great meal though.“
