We love Cosmopolitan! The blackberry margarita was a great way to start the meal. Shared butternut squash soup and the beet salad-both delicious. For main course our server recommend the chicken and pork chop. Both were superb. Thanks for another special meal.

My wife and I caught this place in the fall off-season. Ambiance was nice for a ski town. Food was average for a restaurant on this scale. Wine was ridiculously over priced even by restaurant standards (125-140% of std high end restaurant prices). Service was very snooty, as if we should be happy we got in even after making a reservation weeks in advance and no one was even in the place. We travel and eat out at a lot of very nice places. Won’t be going back to this one.

We had a wonderful time celebrating my husband's birthday. I love that the "kid" menu is a young adult menu and has wonderful options. Kids deserve good food as well, and Cosmo delivered! As a local it is hard to dine out with prices, so this is the only area I would love to change, but this is the case in ALL of Telluride.

The appetizers Lobster Corn Dogs and the Scallops with beef short rib meat are a must try! The atmosphere was very nice. The service was excellent, and the dessert blueberry pie was a wonderful surprise.

We had a nice larger table by the window and Rob was our server. We were able to enjoy our cocktails and Rob checked on us periodically…very relaxing. We ordered the Salmon and Sablefish entrees and both were excellent! Nice sized portions , enough where we were tempted to have dessert but passed!
