   Dinner was outstanding. Our party had the short ribs, filet, and trout. Each was super delicious. Had the shrimp app, bread and olives, all excellent. And desert was great as well.

   I had never dined at the National before. I was excited to try it for my birthday with friends. We were seated at the bar as that was the only reservations I could get. The bartender was also our server. He was not very friendly from the start. We tried chatting with him and it was like we were just bothering him. Our reservation was at 5pm so the place had not gotten busy yet. It is unfortunate when you are paying these prices for food and wine and one person can bring the whole place down. So, while the food was good, i can honestly say none of us plan to be back anytime soon.

    Adore the atmosphere, service,and cuisine at this top-notch restaurant. Sat at the bar and had superb clam spaghetti and, thanks to Phil, wonderful cocktails and meal service. Five minutes in we were best friends with those seated around us! Cannot love it more! Thanks for a great meal and a wonderful experience.

    Service, Atmosphere and Best of All the entrees and appetizers were wonderful!! A must go to when in Telluride! Cocktails were also amazing. Went to The National on our first night in Telluride and it was the best way to kick off a great week of skiing and vacation in the gorgeous town of Telluride!

    Visiting Telluride for the holidays and made a reservation weeks in advance. Service was outstanding. Had the old fashion and Pomma cocktails with the Braised Beef ribs, pistachio trout, Brussels spouts and shrimp. All were beautifully presented and excellent. House Cab was lovely and dessert was amazing. One of the best meals we’ve had anywhere, not just the area. First class all the way around, thank you for such a lovely meal and time together!

    We had a wonderful dinner last year at the National and were looking forward to having another one this XMAS holiday. Unfortunately, it was not up to the standard of our prior meal. Service was friendly but very slow (we waited 20 minutes between the appetizers and the entrees, even though the table of 4 next to us who arrived after us finished their meal before we received our main course). No acknowledgment or excuse was given for the delays, but we suspected kitchen screw up on our order. This was particularly ironic since the restaurant was about 50% to 2/3 as busy as it had been last XMAS. The trout was undercooked as was the duck, and the vegan lasagna we loved last year was not the same dish and was over cooked (arugula covers it to mask the fact it was burned). The linguini was just okay. The coup de gras was that an alcoholic version of a mocktail ordered by my wife was first inadvertently given to our 10 years sober guest, who proceeded to take a drink and was crestfallen at what had just occurred. Honest mistake I suppose. But the server really should have indicated that that drink had alcohol given we had ordered one with and without. This may have been an aberration or a new chef. But given all of the wonderful dining options in Telluride I wouldn’t put this in the top 10 based on last night’s meal, unfortunately.

    Our dinner was excellent. The app, dinner, and both of our meals were executed perfectly. We had the brussel sprouts for a starter, my wife had clams and linguine, and I had the elk. For desert we couldn’t choose between the lemon cake or blueberry tart with ice cream so we got them both. Absolutely unbelievable! Our server was awesome as well. Very timely and knowledgeable of the menu. He gave great suggestions. Thanks for a great dining experience!

    Friendly staff who were very attentive to our dietary restrictions (diabetic diet). The cocktails were creative, with the bartender’s own twist on traditional classics. The food was delicious, perfectly seasoned, not too salty with great balance of flavors. Wide menu offering even during the “slow season,” including a number of fresh seafood dishes which is always treasured in the mountains. Consistently delivers on food and often exceeds expectations for the overall experience.
