The New Tunnel Supper Club — Restaurant in Telluride

An amazing experience from beginning to end. It all begins with a creative theme in which you feel you are discovering a secret. After making a reservation, a text message will guide you through the rest as you make your way to the location the day of. This "treasure hunt" feel- inspired from prohibition era dining- invoked excitements and joys from childhood, and these feelings continued throughout the evening with each dish. Our server, Kara, was knowledgeable and attentive- making sure that we had everything we needed. The enthusiasm for excellent food is evident from the moment the owner, Mark, speaks to you about the first dish and confirmed from the flavor of the first bite. Each dish is clearly created with heart and creativity. As you enjoy each course, the culinary traditions and flavors of a selected region are revealed to you. The menu is essentially an act of gratitude and appreciation for the culinary contributions of a culture, in our case- it was those from Hawaii. Every dish was a home run. The community seating furthers enhances the sense that this is more of a culinary experience than simply a dinner out. The joy of getting to know people while enjoying a world-class meal is a night to remember. After my wife and I left, the first thing we said to each other was, "we can't wait to come back." You should absolutely treat yourself to this one of a...

I took my parents to dinner here and our meal was AMAZING. My folks were totally blown away by the service and intimate setting, and the food wowed all of us! Mark the owner/chef gives the experience a true personal touch and makes The Tunnel a unique experience for Telluride and not to be missed.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that the cocktails here- no exaggeration- are probably the best in town. Kyle our bartender handcrafted each one with ingredients such as fresh-pressed blood orange juice (YUM). Each cocktail is specifically crafted and made for each entree to bring out the unique flavors of both the food and the beverage- seriously so tasty. We got a sneak peek of next week's Italian theme dinners, and at this rate The Tunnel might be a weekly...

The ambience and mystique of Tunnel is almost as compelling as the construction of the tasting menu, its perfect execution and the careful and attentive service. The theme of this menu, South Carolina low country cuisine, is expertly probed, twisted and elevated into a series of courses that are totally unique, delicious and memorable. This is refined cooking, worthy of serious attention. But, it is the atmosphere and the intimacy and the downright playful joyousness of Tunnel that constantly reminds you that this establishment doesn't take itself too seriously, even in its pursuit of beautiful, tasty, complex and delicious food. Perfection. Get the wine pairing. And at least a couple cocktails. Don't miss this unique experience, you can tell from the rating profile that this is just me jumping on another (crowded)...
