Based on the reviews, The National Telluride offers a mix of experiences. The atmosphere is described as fun, upbeat, and cozy with a cool vibe, but also extremely loud with tables packed in, making conversation difficult. The food receives mixed feedback. Highlights include the lobster spaghetti, which was incredible, and the shawarma half chicken, called the most flavorful chicken dish ever tasted. The focaccia was out of this world delicious, and the olive oil martini was a highlight. Other favorites include oysters, grilled halloumi, spicy lobster spaghetti, black pepper rigatoni, date cake, and cheesecake. However, some found the food good but not amazing, with a need for more flavor and impressive presentation. The gnocchi was fine, and the oysters had weird toppings. Service is inconsistent; some staff are friendly and top quality, while others are pushy and focused on upselling. There were also issues with a long wait for a reservation and a small, cramped table. Overall, the restaurant has top quality across the board for some, but for others, it is just fine and disappointing given the hype and price point.
