We were in the Mesa Verde NP area for a few days and decided that we deserved a night out from our travel trailer prepared dinners. We had reservations at 6 and they promptly seated us. Page was a great server – 5*+! After perusing the menu of the day we decided on a sampling of the very fresh and delicious Maine Oysters – as good as they get! We split a Caesar Salad complete with anchovies which was just excellent! We followed with the Pan Roasted Maine Halibut and the Rabbit and Gnocchi dish. The Halibut was cooked perfectly and the Rabbit and Gnocchi (with Iberian Pork Chorizo) was heavenly! The rabbit was perfectly done and was very similar to a slow roasted pork. Can’t go wrong! Desert was the Torte de Santiago – an orange almond flour cake – check out the powdered sugar design – but also it was delicious. In a town of 1200 people this is Ian outstanding dining experience! Hats off to everyone there!

All I could say when I was leaving was phenomenal! It wasn’t just a meal. This was a dining experience.
Got the smoked dark lager from Germany; very smokey, slightly nutty, and a little malty.
We got 4 different kinds of oysters. Each one was different. Not one tasted the same as the other kinds.
The rabbit and gnocchi were lite, but flavorful. The rabbit was not gamey, seasoned well in the broth. The gnocchi was slightly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
Never had jamon, but it melted in your mouth. Reminds me of prosciutto. But more flavor and it was different.
Must save room for the banana cream pie! So lite but full of flavor. I was so full, but I couldn’t stop eating that pie! Your average banana cream pie has chunks of banana, this didn’t as it had so much banana flavor.
This experience was 10/10. From the friendly service with the great recommendations. To the Spanish decor. I look forward to the next time I come here!

I can’t believe I haven’t rated this place yet! I live in the area since 2017. I have tried everything under the sun here. I think this is the best restaurant in the area. By area I mean telluride, mancos, Durango. It’s a small limited seating. Best to book in advance. The food is like Spanish Mediterranean some emphasis on pork and seafood. My favorite is the rabbit gnocchi. Wine list is stellar. Service is professional. My wife and I lobby to have recruiting dinners here as well to really show off what the area has to offer. They are also accommodating to gluten intolerant folks. Some of our dinner accompanyment have the issue and they substitute no problem. I really can’t say enough about the boathouse.

My husband and I celebrated our first year anniversary here! We had been given a tip from our friends who enjoyed what they coined an “amazing experience.” One of the couples owns 4 restaurants in Telluride, so we knew if they enjoyed it, then it must be good! We did our homework prior to arriving and knew exactly what we wanted and were hoping they’d have it on the menu, as we know they bring in items fresh and weekly changes may occur. We love that about a restaurant! We went to Fenceline Cider prior to our reservation. We ran into a friend and she said to us make sure to try out the Boathouse. She didn’t realize we were on our way there… again, one more recommendation prior to eating there! We loved everything about this place to the simple ambiance, not too many tables, and top notch service. Everything we ate was INCREDIBLE! The owners were so sweet and even left us a little note saying Happy first year Anniversary at our table! We highly recommend this to locals, visitors, folks 2 hrs + away! You won’t be disappointed! Lucky for us we’re nearby so we will be eating here again soon. Thanks Jenn and David for making our first anniversary memorable.. and our waiter! I forgot his name…

This is easily our favorite place for a nice dinner in the 4 corners region – It’s our go-to for special occasions. The food is incredible – fresh, beautifully cooked, and satisfying. The atmosphere is adorable – I love that there are very limited tables. You can hear the laughter and fun from everyone in the dining room and it just builds a super sweet and cozy atmosphere. Our server is always sweet and knowledgeable and attentive, and they’re committed to making sure all of their patrons are having a good time and never make them feel rushed.
The Spanish vermouth is SO delicious, and their desserts are to die for. Any time we have any visitors in town, this is where I tell them to go.

What a lovely experience. We had a nice, refined meal with excellent service. The wine selection is impeccable. My husband said these were the cleanest oysters he’s even eaten. Everything was delicious. Well done. Thank you

Incredible and delicious, this fabulous place in tiny Mancos is worth the drive. Delicious vermouth cocktails, flavorful and robust cinghiale wild boar pate, creamy mushroom risotto, duck medallions…exquisite chartreuse ice cream and a slice of rich chocolate cake. The owners were friendly and full of great information about each dish and we enjoyed meeting them.
