Sushi Bars in Telluride

“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.“

“We dined on a winter Monday not knowing if/when their fresh deliveries were. Everything we ate was very delicious and fresh. The salmon sashimi were nice size chef cuts. The yellowtail was particularly excellent. We ordered 2 soft shell crab rolls (different) and the chef's special with a little mild onion on top was the stand out (both excellent to be clear). We both started with a spinach miso which was perfectly prepared with plenty of spinach and far from salty. Very nice meal in a difficult to reach ski town. I enjoyed a very nice cold sake glass as well.Worst thing you can say which of course we expect was the $$$$ and the insulting 4% blah blah blah added charge which it seems all of the better Telluride restaurants add. I resent it. Charge what you want up front in your food cost but don't nickel and dime your "guests" and then ask for another 20-25% tip for the exact same purpose. Pay your workers well and add the cost to the food. No problem.“

“A true gem of a restaurant in Telluride! The sushi is divine!! And we were lucky enough to be there in their Indian food night. Can't say enough good things about this place. Its great to see a place that puts such care and attention into great food.“
