221 South Oak - Telluride, Colorado

We enjoyed a family dinner here with ages ranging from 18 to almost 60. Everyone loved it. The food was amazing. We all got something different so we could try several things. The elk t-bone was the standout, but every dish was delicious and the cocktails were as well. The service was outstanding.

One of the best restaurants in Telluride, we had an outstanding time. The food, service, and ambiance were all outstanding. If you are looking for a special place to have dinner in Telluride, 221 South Oak is the spot. On a side note, our pup Sidney loved the leftover Elk steak!

Lovely restaurant experience in a cozy space with super friendly and attentive staff. Food was very thoughtfully crafted, well presented, tasty and high quality. We loved that they have a separate vegetarian menu (with a whole vegan section).

Ordered the vegan cheese appetizer to start - the cheese is made in house and was very tasty. For entrees got the soy glazed tofu stir fry which was excellent and well flavored (the marinade was so good and tasty), and the mushroom ravioli dish (also very good).

For dessert got the apple crumble, which was great.

Would definitely recommend - the dinner here was very nice.

Was here for a wedding, very good quality despite the bulk service. Obviously a well run kitchen. Only thing that wasn’t spectacular was the chocolate (fudge?) dessert. Steak was A+++ as was the octopus and other items we had.

My experience at 221 South Oak was beyond memorable & one I haven’t had in a long, long time. I am so appreciative of all the amazing food, staff, time, and energy put into creating such an incredible environment and experience for everyone who comes through their door. Not only was I able to enjoy delightful dishes, filled with flavor and seasonal colors, the cocktails & paired wines complemented my meal perfectly. A special note for all the staff that were present, the warm hostess, incredible waiters, waitresses, & bartenders, and the confident, bubbly manager, Sophie, who moved seamlessly through the night attending to each and every person. I couldn’t recommend 221 more for people living in or passing through Telluride for a lively, delicious, and absolutely unforgettable night on the town.

Really lovely atmosphere small restaurant in a previous residence. Lovely patio, incredible drinks, food lacked flavor and was overpriced but portions were generous.

This place is excellent. The details are what matters here. The bartender is a second degree sommelier. A delight. A woman from Wisconsin. The owner is present and also appreciably involved. Women run the place... as they should and it shows in the details...they care. The dining is comparable to anything I've found abroad or in Cali. Kudos to the crew!

The wine list is affordable and top notch.... A good blend of French, Italian and American from Oregon, and Cali. An eclectic menu of classic French meets Asian fusion with some interesting touches like a ramen waffle with duck confit. Very good. It was the Sunday brunch menu. Would like to try other items when I come back.

They're thinking out of the box here. Beyond the box. You will be well served to visit here if you like fine dining and fine wine and happen to be in this beautiful area. The place is cozy and everyone is friendly and accommodating to the point of absurdity. 😅 I love the Midwest. I don't want to go back home to California 😉.

I count the days every year to come back here. This is by far the best restaurant in Telluride. Real cuisine with real ingredients and real passion behind every dish. Every plate will be a good idea and nothing to regret of. Starters are big size and amazing to share. Entres are perfect size too.
