Unfortunately, this is not the 5 star review we would have given 4 years ago when we came to this restaurant on our first visit to Telluride. We have entered a time when customer service is a lost art, and La Cocina is the perfect example of this new era of the customer is always wrong. We should appreciate people like, Lupita, the manager of this restaurant for showing up to work, and making you feel unwelcome.

Our story, we brought our entire family to Telluride to enjoy the place we have grown to love over the years, especially the downtown vibe. We returned to La Cocina, sat with no direction to our table. We had to retrieve a high chair on our own. As we were preparing our sweet, 15 months old girl to be placed in her high chair, Lupita, the manager, walks by our table and very sarcastically says, “people eat off that table”. Our daughter was sitting on the edge of the table. Feet were not on the table. We questioned Lupita, and she continued to use sarcasm in an attempt to make a point. We left the restaurant promptly.

I attempted to contact Lucas Price, the owner, to discuss the situation, and get a better understanding of the situation. However, I never had a response from him.

To Mr. Price, I hope you are able to take this review as a learning opportunity, not as an insult. Hopefully, you get back to great food, and even better service!

We still have much love for this great town of Telluride!
