Chop House Restaurant at New Sheridan — Restaurant in Telluride

On arrival to the Chop House, we were pleasantly greeted by the front of house staff and seen to our table. Once at our table, we brought out a bottle of wine and asked the staff if bringing our own bottle of wine was accepted. We also asked if there was a corkage fee. Said staff told us that we could bring our own bottle and that there was no corkage fee. We placed the bottle on the table. Once our waiter arrived, he seemed distressed and asked us “is this bottle of wine meant to be drank here?” To which we said yes. The waiter responded and said “that is against the law and we cannot open that.” Our group was compliant with this information and weren’t trying to cause problems. We told the waiter that we were given different information from the front of house staff and placed the bottle back in our bag. The waiter responded to this with “oh well he (the front of house staff) is new, so he doesn’t know.” A weird way to throw fellow staff under the bus. We tried to rub off this off and enjoy our dinner, but what we experienced after was a lack of enthusiasm with our waiter. He asked us for our identification to prove we were over 21, which he did not do to any other table that he was servicing (we are both well over 21). Once asking for recommendations on food, they were stale. I ordered the bison ribeye based on his recommendation of it being “perfectly done.” In all honesty, the bison ribeye was one of the most expensive cuts on the menu and all I experienced was a flavorless cut of bison. The seasoning was bad, even after asking our waiter to serve it as the chef recommends. The salmon was drier than the steak, even though it was served “medium.” All around a lack luster experience from the Chop House. Would expect a lot more from a staple in telluride.

If you're ever in Telluride and looking for an unforgettable dining experience, look no further than the New Sheridan Chophouse. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a charming, rustic-chic atmosphere that perfectly blends the historic charm of the town with modern elegance.

Let’s talk about the food—absolutely phenomenal. The attention to detail in every dish is clear, and the quality of the ingredients is top-notch.

For the main course, I had the New York Strip, and it was cooked to absolute perfection—crisp on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. My friend ordered the lamb chops, and they were equally impressive, bursting with flavor and accompanied by creative sides that really complemented the dish.

The wine list is extensive, offering a great variety of options to pair with their delectable steaks. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable, guiding us to the perfect bottle that enhanced our meal even more.

What really sets the New Sheridan Chophouse apart is the exceptional service. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, ensuring our experience was flawless from start to finish. We even got a visit from the chef, which was a lovely personal touch.

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just want to treat yourself to an extraordinary meal, the New Sheridan Chophouse is a must-visit. We left completely satisfied and already planning our...

In summary: We loved the classy atmosphere, and the service was fantastic. Food was a mixed bag and the steaks were bad.

The ambiance of the restaurant screams class. Easily one of the most well put together dining rooms in Telluride. Service was off the charts good as well.

Our server was prompt, polite, exactly where we needed him when we needed him, but otherwise invisible. A total professional which we loved.

The wine list is impressive. It trends high end, but that's to be expected at this price point. We especially were impressed with their large format collection.

The food was, unfortunately, a mixed bag. The meal started on a high note with the oysters (pink moon) and mussels. Oysters were unbelievable, and the mussels had a ton of flavor in a spicy Thai broth.

With no hyperbole, the steaks were terrible. We got the Prime NY Strip, and the Dry Aged Bison Ribeye. Both steaks were cooked to the right temperature (med-rare), but that's where the compliments end. On the strip, it was poorly trimmed with large sections of inedible grizzle. On the ribeye, it was a very poor cut with bad marbling and poor flavor. Both steaks were under-seasoned. Overall, very disappointing for a restaurant that bills instead as a high-end steak house.

The chef needs to work harder to source higher quality meat. Until that happens, this will be a cocktail and appetizer only...
