What an amazing dinner and incredible service!! Stopped in to the Ore House for a drink and light dinner at the bar. Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented. I highly recommended the Tartare, it was amazing. The entire staff is so attentive, personable, and kind! Everyone makes you feel right at home and makes the dining experience totally enjoyable. Thanks to the entire front and back of house for a beautiful meal!

Amazing service and amazing food. The cocktails were a real surprise- really inventive and unique with a lot of effort in homemade ingredients like a special dirty martini brine and a cilantro tequila infusion. The steak was amazing, and did not disappoint. Brussel sprouts and potatoes were phenomenal. Our waitress was kind, fun, and made the evening feel special.

The best dining experience we have ever had! Absolutely flawless. Perfect timing, classy but still fun atmosphere and incredible dining. The pheasant was perfectly prepared.

The service was outstanding. The waiter was attentive, kind, and helpful. The atmosphere is amazing. The food was a little of a let done. The cornbread was good. The ribeye had a little too much fat, which made it chewy. It didn’t taste like there was much seasoning on it either. The load baked potato was different but tasted good. I do appreciate they gave us a complimentary sample of their house drink. It was different and tasted amazing.

Amazing service and even better food. Yes, this place is pricy—but it’s a perfect example of “you get what you pay for.” From the half glass of wine for me and mocktail for my 7 year old upon seating to the food and drink recommendations, the service was impeccable and made us feel like we were the most important diners in the restaurant. The food was perfectly timed; none of that “here’s your salad” and three minutes later, your meal. Plan to spend both money and time here—this isn’t a $20 get-in-get-out place—but you’ll enjoy every minute of it.

The Ore House is hands down the best fine dining restaurant in Colorado. From the moment we checked in with the host we were treated like VIP guests. Wait staff, bartenders, and management came to our table to welcome us. The level of detail at this restaurant is beyond 5 star Michelin. The silverware and glassware are timeless, the extensive cocktail menu and presentation of food and drink is exquisite and the attentiveness of staff was beyond exceptional. If you are looking for an unforgettable experience and the best fresh Colorado food you’ve ever had, We highly suggest you make reservations at the Ore House.

The best dining experience we have had since forever. This place has set the bar so high for service, attentiveness, food and drink quality and atmosphere that all others will pale in comparison. If you have been searching for a memorable night with your someone special, this is the place to go. Every single detail was right. Wish I lived in Durango. We will be back.

Enjoyed celebrating here. They had a secret menu which gave extra drink and food options to the already fabulous menu. The waiter gave drink recommendations which was great and discussed switching out sides to make the dish exactly what we wanted. It’s pricy but the food, atmosphere and staff make it an experience.

Delicious food and great service, but it is overpriced. I’ve been to amazing restaurants that are just as delicious and the price for 4 people was about 100 dollars less. I love Durango but it has become insanely touristy and restaurant prices reflect this. We were also seated near the bar in high seats which I wouldn’t have chosen.

Recommend making reservations. You are asked to deposit $25 per person to hold your reservation which will be refunded when you actually show up. I thought it went towards the price of the meal. There is also seating at a bar which I believe is for no reservation seating.This restaurant has been in Durango, just off Main Street, since 1972. My parents used yo eat here. We came to celebrate my birthday and my mom who passed away last year. We were promptly seated. Super attentive staff, Dow to earth, friendly. The menu isn’t huge, which I like. Specialty is steak and surf. Was hoping for a chicken choice. There was a secret menu and a pork tenderloin was included in the secret menu. Housemade cornbread. It had a good flavor, served with a bacon butter, but didn’t hold its shape well so we ate it with a fork and generally made a crumbly mess. We ordered a 14 oz ribeye, which we split. They also split it in the kitchen cooking it to 2 different temps. Perfection. I would have preferred a different knife that was actually sharp. The lobster tails came with clarified butter and these were sweet and tender. We also ordered the wedge salad. It had a crispy thin fried onion, tomatoes, fried chunks of pie Kelly, and a sprinkle of Blue Cheese crumble from a local James Ranch in Durango. The wedge had a slight char. My husband’s had part of the core but we are a game of finding the core in our salads. There was also a sprinkle of champagne vinegarette along the perimeter of the plate that was divine. I would have preferred the Blue Cheese crumble and this dressing instead of the Blue Cheese dressing. The crumble was nice but the dressing overpowered the salad. We ordered the asparagus and potato to share. The asparagus with a bernaise sauce-asparagus were cooked perfectly. The sauce was ok. I would order it on the side. The potato was delicious, soft and tender, and the perfect balance of sour cream and butter. I think they probably brine the potato. It really was the perfect side for the steak. I am not a big fan of their pork belly chunks in the salad or potato. For me, they are too large and tough. I couldn’t pierce them with my fork. It’s a personal preference. Staff quick to clear dishes as the meal progresses. Super clean bathrooms. We were close to the kitchen but it was not a distraction as their communication was low key. Didn’t order dessert or alcohol. We loved their water and pellet ice, so good in Durango. It was a very good meal for a special occasion. We spent $160 plus tip which is something we NEVER do. Probably once in a lifetime meal. Highly recommend Ore House. You will love the experience, the attentive wait staff, and delicious food.
