Sow's EarSows Ear Brings Home the BaconWe have been coming to the Sow's Ear for 6 years now, and it is the best restaurant between Durango and Silverton ... for that matter it is better than any of the Silverton restaurants, and all but a few of the Durango restaurants. They have a menu that allows you to enjoy a salad or a sandwich (good burgers and chicken sandwiches) for under $ 15 or you can go upstairs to the formal dining room for a big night out and enjoy their fancier appetizers and small plates and/or steaks, salmon, elk, and Colorado seafood. The bar area is friendly and cozy and easily handles up to 25 people.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Sow's Ear was a greatThe Sow's Ear was a great dinner! Definitely the best steak I have ever had. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. I want recipes for everything. The calamari was great, I enjoyed the beet salad. Dessert was delectable. The service was great. We will make it a tradition!3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMImaginative menu!The chef/owner of Sow's Ear is very imaginative and there is a sumptuous assortment of dishes (including small plates) to please
everyone. Go for the food and the beautiful mountain setting. This place is a great surprise down the road from Purgatory Ski Resort at Durango Mountain. Highly recommend!3/18/2013 12:00:00 AM
