The West End Bistro at The Hotel Telluride

We ate here twice for breakfast and dinner. Dinner the first night my wife and I had the Aztec soup. This was an awesome tortilla soup that was filling and satisfying. The chef can adjust the heat according to your taste. On the dinner we had the ribeye steak and the bone in pork chop. Both entrees had an excellent presentation with sauteed vegetables surrounding the meat. The ribeye steak was placed plated with drizzled balsamic vinegar and wilted spinach. For breakfast, we had eggs benedict and french toast. The french toast was thin, sliced french baguette on a plate with drizzled raspberry sauce and two pieces of crispy bacon. All the meals we had are as good as any restaurant we have had in Telluride. For the dog lovers there is a table and chairs in the lobby of the Hotel Telluride that the restaurant staff will bring your food to. The staff is friendly and attentive.

Everyone was tired so we decided to have dinner at the hotel. It couldn’t have been better. We were at a cozy table near the fireplace. We had Chelsea who was our server and she was bubbly, attentive and very sweet. She helped us select a nice bottle of wine to kick off things off. We all started with either the Tomato or Butternut squash soup and everyone said both soups were outstanding (we’re all from New York City and a critical crowd) . Our main entrees were also very tasty. In the end the 6 of us couldn’t imagine having gone out into town and and been at a noisy, crowded restaurant after a long day of skiing. This was a perfect evening!

If you are seeking a nice traditional restaurant, this is not the place. It is a small area in a hotel lobby. The menu online does not reflect the limited menu available. Some sort of olive plate was the only appetizer offered. To be fair, we opted to have a cocktail which was excellent and moved on to a different venue. Kudos to the waitress(bartender) she was outstanding & understanding.

Beef medallions were incredible service was excellent atmosphere perfect glad we chose this hotel and this restaurant couldn’t be happier

We had a great experience with a larger group, 7 people. They sat us in the lobby area in front of the fireplace which was comfortable. The dinner specials were excellent and Gabrielle and Bruce were very pleasant and accommodating. Definitely will go back.

The restaurant is in a charming, older hotel and the restaurant is small. The food was delicious. Our bartender and server was very attentive and very personable.

This is one of our go to places in Telluride where we have been coming fo 30 years. Food is always fresh & innovative with friendly service. Best of all for us they have dog friendly tables in the beautiful lobby area

Half chicken was effectively a small grilled chicken breast served over mashed potatoes. Quiet disappointing.

Seated basically at the same table as another family- one foot apart. Service was terrible and they were out of 2 of the entrees with an already very limited menu. No reason to eat here for dinner- lots of great choices nearby. Maybe it's good for breakfast.

The food was good, but we had to wait 40 minutes before our food came out. No updates on the status from our waitress. She was friendly, but not attentive and the place wasn't busy. There were no drink menus at all - we asked for some and she said they just didn't have any. No drink specials at all to choose from. She just said they'll make what we want. We asked for whiskey sours and they were not good at all, yet they cost $18 each. They weren't made properly. We wouldn't return.

Amazing meal and service!!! My husband had the steak and I had the trout special. Both were perfectly cooked.

A real hidden gem!

Great food, as good as most other restaurants in Telluride at reasonable prices, and typically better availability! Love it!

My rating is possibly skewed by end of season challenges, but overall this was a disappointing experience. They were out of many things on the menu, and what we were served was just okay. Perhaps it's better during the peak months of ski season? Sad given the convenient location and warm, nostalgic decor - just not sure we'll return to give it a second try.

Had breakfast and the restaurant was understaffed, expecially in the kitchen. Kirby, my server, handled the 'back up' with grace and professionalism and helped salvage the experience.

I'm sorry to say but it was the worst food and the worst service we have ever had! Very long wait to order and get our food. The food was terrible very salty over cooked and some food was unidentifiable.
