2. Allred's

My other half and I just returned from a ski week in Telluride, which was both ultimately relaxing and breathtaking at the same time. On our last night in town, we ate at Allred's at the San Sophia gondola stop. After having a cocktail at the bar (which has a spectacular view mid-mountain and a cozy fireplace sitting area), we were brought to our table for 2 which was a corner table nestled between two picture windows with a view to die for. The service was excellent (our server's name was Danny; he not only delivered a great dining experience, he was also kind enough to take the time to photograph us during his busy work night -worth asking for), fare was cooked to perfection, and overall it was a wonderful experience. I would go back tomorrow if I didn't live in NYC!
