The National Telluride

Amazing food! Every dish we ordered from appetizer, to entree, to dessert was incredible and so well crafted! The owner, Kate, was really sweet and took the time to introduce herself to us and chat. Overall, It was a wonderful experience. Thank you for what you’re bringing to Telluride. We look forward to going back in the future!

We had a great dining experience at The National on our anniversary trip to Telluride. We sat at the bar and Tabitha was our server/bartender. We shared a couple pastas, they were delicious. My martini was great. Definitely adding The National to our restaurant rotation when we are in town. Looking forward to our next trip and our next meal here!

The National hosted us for our wedding reception this past weekend and I cannot recommend them enough for dinner, drinks, large parties or events!

Jennifer and the team at The National were incredible to work with, accommodated all of our guests allergies with the utmost respect and attentiveness, created an excellent menu that every one of our guests raved about, and provided the best service we've seen in a very long time.

They made our experience perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better time at The National! Highly, highly recommend for anyone visiting Telluride!

Dietary restrictions: Hands down the best restaurant we have ever worked with when it came to dietary restrictions. Not only do they have options that are applicable to various allergies, but they got creative and provided dishes that hit it out of the park for some of our guests who typically struggle to find new meals with more challenging allergies (olive oil, garlic, onion, etc). Highly recommend!!

WOW! This place really knows how to make their guests leave full and happy! We came in for our anniversary and we were absolutely blown away. We enjoyed fresh oysters, snow crab, fresh made bucantini and warm focaccia bread with a stunning sweet ricotta and black truffle honey. We cannot wait to go back! Thanks Chef Chris and Kate!

From beginning to end, the dinner was fabulous. The General Manager, Clint was so welcoming and friendly. Michael, our server, was awesome. The chicken was one of the top 10 best chicken dishes I've had...and I travel and eat out often! Thank you for a wonderful dinner....oh, and the ice cream sundae...just order it...you'll thank me later.

Yessssss. The National knocks it out of the park. We indulged in many of the upscale dining experiences while in Telluride, and this was by far our favorite. Picky palettes with a dietary restriction were completely satiated and accommodated in bites that felt indulgent, exciting and it was the most fun evening!!! Highly recommend if you are looking for a fun, vibey upscale lovely spot with incredible ambience. Some of the tables were a bit close together, but the spot is not at all large and was buzzing with good Beautiful natured diners. Will remember this night for a long time and certainly will be back!!!

From the moment Kate greeted us upon arrival to the final presentation of the check, everything was first class. We were seated quickly and greeted by our server promptly thereafter. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and drink selections, and she was readily available throughout the dinner without being obtrusive. Dishes were well presented and everything we ordered was delicious. Our second visit but certainly not the last.

My boyfriend and I went here to celebrate our anniversary and my birthday. The staff was so amazing! Kyle was our server and he was so attentive and kind. We also spoke with Kate who made our visit very special from the champagne to the carrot cake. I highly recommend this place!

We went to The National on a recommendation. It was great. Service was great and the food was amazing. When the waiter asked how the food was, because I feel like he truly wanted to know, I told him that the pesto pasta was warm, not hot, but otherwise it was delicious. Within a few moments Kate the owner came over to offer a new, hot dish but it really wasn't necessary because it was so good anyway. The friend i was sharing with loved that it was warm, not hot, btw. That was so nice and she was lovely. But...as delicious as dinner was, the Banana Cheesecake for desert was just phenomenal. Try it for yourself.

Service is excellent, friendly and attentive. Both drinks and food: truly exceptional. Just WOW!
