Grounded in its home setting, the original 1890s saloon and dining hall, our Kitchen is a precursor to the classic steakhouse. It brings a farm-to-fire approach that honors time, place and purpose, including the farms and ranches of the Western Slope. Built around a generous wood hearth that came to be renowned in the West, the restaurant uses nature as a guide and creates space for guests to slow down, connect, and make memories.
Remarkable table-side preparations, vintage cocktails, and friendly small-town hospitality allows guests to focus on going home with an authentic charming story, safely removed from the ordinary.

This was one of the most remarkable meals I have had in a very long time! The staff was attentive and their excitement over the menu was infectious! We sat at the chef’s counter and marveled at the wood fired kitchen. The steak was I believe the best I have ever had as the wood imparted a unique and beautiful flavor. The vegetables were similarly elevated and bursting with flavor.
The bartender was a talented mixologist and the mixed drinks were fantastic. The wine list was small but impressive. I cannot wait to come back. Thank you so much for such a special night!

What a lovely find! The building is quaint and they have preserved just enough of the original personality. It is warm and inviting. We thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, the service was top notch, the food was delicious! Started with blue corn cornbread, an appetizer of Arancini. For the main entree I had the pork chop special, and my husband had the Spinach Pappardelle. Halfway through our meals we switched. They were both wonderful. Finished off our evening with the Apple Crisp. Staff were attentive and friendly. We highly recommend this place.

Just completed a multi-million dollar renovation…and it shows. Wood-fired Pork is unmatched, the best I have ever had. All ingredients are fresh and locally sourced. Nico was awesome.

All around 5/5. We got the mushroom toast appetizer, Porterhouse for two, and apple crumble. Everything was exquisite from the food, to the service, to the atmosphere.

Romantic atmosphere with fantastic food. Service was great, very attentive. We both got the steak and quickly realized we could have split one, had to take leftovers home. The cornbread was delicious and we ended with the special for dessert which was an apple tart. So yummy! Each also had a cocktail, I can’t remember the name. It was something rose and had gin with Blackberry and lemon. Everything was great. We loved the experience and the food! The renovated hotel looks amazing, definitely want to try staying here next time.

The Western Grill is officially the dining experience to beat! Because we adjusted our reservation time, we lucked out, and we were able to get the Chefs Table –and I highly suggest trying for this spot. You get to interact with the chefs (which are all friendly and happy to share their processes) and cozy up to the wood-burning stove. The food was absolutely delicious (and not overly complicated like some other fancy restaurants make it). And the service was great and very attentive.

The bar atmosphere was laid back with good service, great cocktails and music. We moved from the bar to the dining area. The dining area didn’t have music and just didn’t seem as comfortable as the bar area. We ordered ravioli and the half chicken. The ravioli came out on a hot plate but the actual ravioli was cold. The chicken was pretty dry. The dinner took a little longer to come out than the people around us and we just didnt want to send it back and wait again. The flavors were good! Just a little underwhelming. When we mentioned it to the server, he said they struggle with their heat lamps for the food. With tip we had a $240 underwhelming dinner. We will be back to try something different bc the cocktails were on point! Kudos to the bartender for being our highlight!

The cornbread was delicious (the use of a coarse blue corn reminds me of the attention given by Sean Brock in the book Heritage), the pork chop was the star of the evening (it was a special, but I hope it makes it to the main menu so we can order it again), the deserts were really great. The space was refined, but relaxed. The service was friendly and attentive. I agree with others that this is the dining experience benchmark. We will defiantly be back!

From the handcrafted drink menu to the main course to the dessert… five stars across the board. Throw in excellent, friendly service from Amelia, and we are literally planning our next stay in Ouray around a restaurant in anticipation of the hotel and spa being on the same level. Lamb Bolognese, prime strip, apple crumble with lemon honey ice cream… just fantastic across the board. Caught a little snow out the back window to tease us for the evening.

We enjoyed a very nice family dinner here. Cat was our waitress. She was friendly and attentive. Would go back again to eat here. Lots of meat options. Not as many vegetarian or vegan options. We had dessert, too.
