We have been to this restaurant several times over the last few years. Food and service is generally good. We had an 8:30 reservation. The staff seemed tired and ready to go home (that’s understandable with the spring break rush).

There are not enough adjectives to describe how wonderful our experience was at 221 South Oak. The food was amazingly delicious, especially the Duo Soup, and our cocktails were beyond anything we have ever tasted. The restaurant is super cozy, the artwork is beautiful which makes you feel like you are having dinner at a friend's home. 221 South Oak will forever be a lovely memory for us, as we got engaged that night!

Superb food and service.

We've been visiting Telluride, from another Colorado ski resort town, for years and are no strangers to fine dining. In my humble opinion, 221 South Oak is the only restaurant in town that offers the complete package: an outstanding menu, excellent food & drink, great service, and a staff that actually seems to care about their customers. That is why we return every year, and why 221 South Oak is our hands-down favorite. It's not inexpensive, but you leave feeling as if the cost was well worth it.

Fresh ingredients and attentive staff made our dining experience grand.

Charming old house. Friendly waitstaff. This is where we like to go with friends for a delicious dinner when we are in Telluride.

Terrific restaurant. Pretty much every restaurant we’d been to this, our first week ever in Telluride, was great....of those, this was the best. Fantastic food, great service, great atmosphere, even the bartender came to our table to discuss my drink options. In a city of great restaurants - this is the best.

Rachel is an awesome server and I enjoyed the best Cosmo ever. The bison was delicious as was the grouper. We were in Telluride for 2 nights. We ate at 221 S Oak both nights. Good decision!

221 South Oak is, I think, the best restaurant in Telluride. We have been coming to Telluride for several years to ski and always go to dinner at 221 South Oak at least once. It's a small restaurant, which makes it cozy and not loud. The food is original, well presented and very tasty. I had the scallops, excellent dish; my husband had the grouper, also very good. Even with the appetizer of tuna tartare that we shared, we walked out not uncomfortably full as almost always happens in other restaurants. Service was flawless, polite, friendly, knowledgeable but not stuffy. Good wine selection. We will be back again and again.

The Rocky Mountain trout was amazing. Love the option of the vegetarian menu.

We enjoyed our meal here. The food was nicely prepared, the staff was pleasant, the location and ambience were just okay as it butts up against the adjacent homes so don't expect a nice view. All in all a nice visit.

The food was exceptional. Our appetizer specials of tuna and salmon tartare were fresh and delicious. The sea bass entree was prepared to perfection as was the trout and lamb entree. The service was top notch- Joe our wine sommelier and Rachel, our server, were attentive and personable.

Wonderfully diverse menu with full vegetarian menu as well!

My husband and I have had dinner with you many times over the years and have always found it delicious. Last night, we took our 3 grown children and they could not brag enough on your unique cuisine , we agree. The Staff was gracious, our waitress delightful. Thank you, we will see you again soon!

Lovely quaint house steps from gondola well established and well run

Food was the best of the whole week in Telluride and service was perfect.

The service and ambiance have always been good on my visits. I am actually willing to sacrifice a little in those categories when the food is this good. Luckily this place has always been the complete package. But again, first and foremost the food is excellent! Trout, bison short ribs, foie gras

Dishes were unique and delicious!
Always love this place!!

Best restaurant in Telluride! I've been here several times over the years and it never disappoints!

Pricey place but worth the money. All of our dishes were delicious. We had pork, lamb, and the fish.

Perfect for a classic telluride dining experience with friends. Went in for dinner to see Joe, and Frizz however Luke the host wearing a purple blouse 👚 was more than knowledgeable when it came to the wine selection and was as always extra helpful in making sure we felt at home. I can’t say enough on how cool it is to walk into an establishment and see so many familiar faces. There is something to be said about the chemistry of the staff at 221 it is a truly unique dining experience in the heart of telluride. These guys are on their A game and care about what they are doing and it clearly shows. I can’t wait to back!

Great service and food

We came here on a family ski trip and had two you g boys with us the food was great I had the trout and the cocktails were also really good this is a must for any trip to Telluride

Quaint spot with excellent service / food / location. Elk t-bone was fantastic.

Eliza and crew made my birthday special!

So great! Loved the trout, and ambience!

Excellent restaurant for vegetarians! They have an entire menu of just vegetarian items!!! A dream come true!! Great cozy atmosphere as well.

The food and atmosphere were perfect! Everyone was so welcoming.

Wonderful!! Went twice in one week.

Very good for a special occasion or friends get together. Lovely ambience and very friendly attentive servers.
Interesting buried and changing menu with many locally produced items. Highly recommend.

Food was just ok. Service was great, really disappointed in the elk t-bone. No seasoning, tasted like charcoal and sides were underwhelming.

Best food in town, possibly a tie with Marmotte. Very creative dishes, evolving menu, terrific wait staff who are very engaging. An extensive wine list with many affordable selections. We met the chef last year and came back for another great dinner and were not disappointed.

Best meal in Telluride! Get the trout!! The old fashion was the best I’ve had and the staff was phenomenal.

Our waitress was super great! Food was also excellent. Of the 4 dinners I had in Telluride this was definitely in my top 2. Got the octopus, a tuna tartare special and the waygu. Waygu is huge (12-14oz) so definitely split it. Definitely a good value.

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great food. Right near gondola. Definitely recommended. They had an entire vegetarian menu, if you want.

Very personable staff, and very accommodating. The flavors were spectacular. Really loved this place.

Service was great, cocktails and appetizers were outstanding, the mains were good but relative to everything else were somewhat disappointing. I’d definitely go back and try it again though.

Everything was perfect, we have tried all of the top Telluride restaurants and this is our favorite.

Never disappointed! Best meal we had all week! Elissa food is exceptional!
