Reviews for Side Work Restaurant in Telluride, CO
Best food and service we have had in Telluride. I have tons of food allergies & Jim handled it like a champ! Everything was... amazing & I can’t wait to go back! Read more
I walked in dressed the same as everyone else but could tell I wasn't welcome. The host asked me if I meant to go to the brewery... around the corner instead. Pretty rude but also pretty interesting considering their menu was priced pretty average and nothingabout the place was to be considered anything but casual. Also interesting that the owner charges the guests for his employeeshealth insurance. I've been a chef for 14 years, and I would never stand for guests to be treated this way. I originally went infor just a cocktail but had I received any level of decent service I'm sure I would have bought oysters, a bottle of wine, acharcuterie board, entrees or whatever. Read more
Extremely pretentious and without reason. Food is mediocre even for mountain towns. Ordered an espresso martini because it is... advertised online, worst one i’ve had, not even real espresso. The host made it seem like i didn’t belong there when I’mdressed the same as everyone else and have paid 2x the amount at several other places. The one star review was deserving to thehost alone but the entire experience continued to be disappointing. Read more
This was on the higher mid range to more expensive side of the Telluride price scale but the food was rather good. They also... have these heated fun cocoons outside which you can request when you make your reservation which i personally think wouldimprove anyone m's experience and are certainly cozier and more private than sitting inside. There is quite a bit of variety onthe menu, and the chefs definitely are not afraid of flavor which is refreshing. Would recommend. Read more
Came in without a reservation. Gorgeous decor. Nice menu. Enjoyed a cheese and charcuterie board. Very nicely presented. Shrimp... was good. Service was spotty. Had to flag people down to order even though they were standing near me!!! Read more
Small intimate setting with good ambience. Quality food and extensive wine list. Staff is randomly dressed and doesn’t appear... to serve any specific table - unusual but makes for good service. A bit pricey and was surprised to see an additional servicecharge titled “employee health.“ Overall a good experience. Read more
Doesn't look like much when walking by with the windows covered and a privacy curtain as soon as you walk in the door but our... group was instantly greeted and offered a cocktail menu. We didn't have a reservation and the place was packed! We were seatedin about 20min, they scrunched some tables together for us next to a booth, was a perfect table. We ordered the charcuterieboard with Duck Terrine, Coppa Salami, Camembert Cheese with Jelly and Manchego. Chili Shrimp Cocktail and Hamachi appetizers.The charcuterie was flawless as was the hamachi, the shrimp cocktail was amazing as well just slightly overcooked and enoughcocktail sauce for everyone in the restaurant. (Not a bad thing) In our group we ordered the Braised Short Rib, Pork Chops,Lobster Mac-n-Cheese and the Whole Branzino. Our group is big on sharing, so we all got to taste a few bites of the plates. Iordered the Branzino (Pictured) and let's just say you will be very happy with this choice, perfectly cooked and seasoned,Moroccan cous cous and heirloom tomatoes accompanied the dish (Worth picking through the bones). The Pork Chop (Pictured) andShort Rib were massive and again perfectly cooked. I would recommend making a reservation as it is limited and intimateseating. Our server Patrick was over the top amazing and really made us feel like old friends. If you're lucky enough to havehim at your table you're truly in for a great treat! Read more
Great restaurant and food! The ambiance was great and you could tell it was very popular with locals. One of, if not the best... meal we had on our roadtrip out west from Chicago. Definitely on the pricey side, but worth it for the great service & food! Read more
