Restaurants near Bear Springs Guard Station

Santa Cafe provided us a warm and memorable Thanksgiving experience!! Our original plans were unexpectedly re-routed due to over two foot of snow in Telluride. Santa cafe was an unexpected and amazing surprise with the most savory and delicious food anyone could ever imagine and their staff giving up their Thanksgiving day to make ours special. Many thanks to all of you…and your hospitality, much appreciated! My husband enjoyed the calamari and I enjoyed the pillowy, pumpkin ravioli. This followed by the filet on celery root puree with scalloped stacked potato and herb side dish. I enjoyed the amazing bone in chop with some sort of pearl pasta in the most amazing wine reduction sauce! Waiter, somalier, stopped by and then the manager with a gift, it was a jar of hot rum mixture to take home and a sample at the table. It was delicious! Thank you for such a memorable experience!

We are Spanish and can verify that the food is authentic Spanish. The morcilla pinxtos were excellent, the lamb albondigas were bigger and tastier than we expected, and the baguette and olive oil were excellent. The espresso was also excellent.

Fantastic experience for my husband’s birthday. Thank you as always for the friendly and impeccable service. And the food and drink were wonderful. It was such an enjoyable evening. Thank you and see you again! Oh and can I just say the guy who manages the valet parking is SO nice, expeditious in service, and we always look forward to seeing him. He is the first and last one we see and he never disappoints.

We had a reservation for 6, we were seated right away. Drinks came out right away and we ordered food. Everything was delicious especially the red chili ribs and enchiladas. Our waitress was very good and efficient (wish I’d caught her name)

The eggs Benedict and steak and eggs were excellent. Good salad dressing. Rather expensive and light on the hollandaise sauce, but of high quality. We were placed in a quiet seating area distant from a noisy crowd.
