I had a lovely experience at Sidework this weekend. My table decided it was time for a fancy dinner to celebrate friendship and I feel we chose the right spot. Our server, Paige, took great care of us and the bartender, Dex, made some awesome drinks. Stepping into the space transports you from Telluride. The food is quality and different from what other spots have to offer. As a southern girl the fried green tomatoes were my favorite!

Side Work is an incredible restaurant. guests are greeted warmly and treated to an exquisitely decadent dining experience. each dish is considered with care and precisely crafted for optimal delight. the employees are inviting and knowledgeable. Side Work is perfect for both special occasions and a Tuesday night happy hour.

Tony treated us with the best service we have had in recent memory. Incredible wine selection, food was flavored and presented with perfection, and the vibe was ON POINT.
Request tony as he is best in show. Top notch service and easy on the eyes
Will definitely be back.

We shared several dishes among three people, and every plate was executed perfectly. The Caviar Eggs, Octopus Española, and Hamachi were absolute standouts—bold, balanced, and beautifully plated. The quality of ingredients and attention to detail in preparation really came through across the entire meal.
The venue itself is clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed—elevated but still welcoming. While the service wasn’t quite on par with the food—somewhat inattentive and not especially warm—it didn’t take away from the overall experience.
Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Telluride and looking for a refined yet creative culinary experience.

Small intimate setting with good ambience. Quality food and extensive wine list. Staff is randomly dressed and doesn’t appear to serve any specific table – unusual but makes for good service. A bit pricey and was surprised to see an additional service charge titled “employee health.“ Overall a good experience.

Walked in for dinner and was able to get seated quickly. It was a bit noisy due to a party behind us having a great time but was completely different after they left. We had the hamachi, burrata & octopus to start (all were fantastic, octopus was cooked well). We split salmon for entree (melt in your mouth) and had tres leches for dessert. Best meal we’ve had in telluride.

Came in without a reservation. Gorgeous decor. Nice menu. Enjoyed a cheese and charcuterie board. Very nicely presented. Shrimp was good. Service was spotty. Had to flag people down to order even though they were standing near me!!!

My fiance and I shared the ceviche and oysters for an appetizer and also shared the Australian Wagu Tomahawk steak for our main course. We each ordered the Mama Likey signature cocktail and it was sooooo good. I can’t say enough great things about this place. The staff were amazing as well as the food and drinks!!

Side work is a (sort of) hidden Gem that my husband and I absolutely love. The food never misses and neither does the service. We absolutely loved the hamachi, oysters and the corn risotto is the best risotto we’ve ever had.
