- KKristinVIPPhoenix / Arizona •9 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoFour of us dined on 2/18/25. I had a Basil Hayden’s old fashioned, everyone else ordered beer or cider. The old fashioned was top notch! 2 of us ordered the short rib entree with mashed potatoes and broccolini and it was excellent. My husband ordered the short rib Philly cheesesteak and it was also delicious. My mom got the burger and it was a healthy portion! I didn’t try hers but she said it was good. This was our second time dining here (we visited last Feb and Mar) and the service is always exceptional and food/drinks always come out quickly. Will definitely eat here again!More infoFloradora SaloonPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Telluride•4.6
- KKristinVIPPhoenix / Arizona •9 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe dined at one of the bar high tops, and were helped by two servers, Murphy and Brian. My first drink was the classic cosmo. After a couple of sips, I realized my glass had a crack in it. I asked Brian for a new glass and he went above and beyond and just made me a new drink. Both drinks were perfect. My husband ordered an old fashioned and it was great too! I also had to try the cosmo old fashioned that had Whistlepig 10 yr, orange bitters and clove syrup I think! We had a spicy tuna roll, shared the bone in pork chop, and a crème brûlée. All of the food was delicious as usual. This is a staple place for us when we visit Telluride (I miss the place in Durango it was my go to for happy hour in college!). Looking forward to our next meal here!More infoCosmopolitan - TelluridePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Telluride•4.8
