The Tunnel

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. We went for the South Western American theme, and I'm hard pressed to say which of the five courses was my favorite, though the scallop/shrimp combo and bison sous-vide were soooooo good. 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 thing for me.
