Visited Cosmo last year with efficient wait staff on hand. Our server was Kathleen, who was rude and lacked amiable personality compared to other servers observed by our party. The food was excellent the year prior. The food this time around was good but will not be returning a third time.

Good Afternoon Anja, I cannot thank you enough for your helpful feedback on the Cosmopolitan Telluride. My concern is that we do not have anyone on our staff by that name and was hoping that you would be able to help me identify more clearly your dissatisfaction with the service. We strive to provide the best service possible and do... More

We always take guests here because the food is always good, service reliable and there's something for everyone. There is usually at least one vegetarian dish on the menu which is always really great (what I usually order) and even sushi rolls along with creative american for meat eaters. It's pretty popular so always a good idea to make a... More

We recently dined at this great hotspot in Telluride, Colorado. We had a large group of 12. The service was really good, but the food was outstanding. We tasted various menu items but would highly recommend the rack of lamb and the sea food stew. I ordered the Blueberry pie with sour cream ice cream which was amazing as well.... More

1/2 block off gondola is very convenient! We were seated at an interior table, but on request, they moved us to a window table. Our server was Greg, and he did a great job. We had the shrimp and calamari appetizer and it was amazing! We had duck, surf and turf, and lamb entrees, all were 5 star dishes, and... More

We experienced happy hour here and loved the sushi. Watch out for those Cosmopolitan cocktails - they are quite strong.

We had high expectations about that restaurant after reading many reviews may be too high which could explain our deception. The service was excellent and friendly. The sushis were highly suggested as being one of the restaurant specialties. They were good but I must say that we can easily find much better ones in small good sushis shops. I had... More

Great food, drinks, and atmosphere at happy hour (5-6 pm) and the prices for great sushi and calamari are a steal.

The food was amazing, a little pricey- as is everything in Telluride, but the staff is incredible and it was definitely worth it. They were nice enough to give us complimentary champagne when they found out we were celebrating our honeymoon.

My wife and I had an early dinner, while Cosmos was packed for Happy Hour. We enjoyed some very unique and pleasing tequila beverages. It was apparent that the creative talents of the bar tender was a major "draw" that we confirmed at the table. After our dinner order we were presented some recommended wine samples that would compliment our... More

One of my siblings and our spouses were skiing in Telluride and dined on a weekday evening at Cosmopolitan. From beginning to end it was one of our most memorable dining experiences anywhere. The casual graciousness of the hostess and the friendly (but not too familiar) professionalism of our wait staff was both welcoming and engaging. Although locals and celebrities... More
