Fantastic spot! Amazing food, and so many vegan options(THANK YOU!) We will 100% be back here. Absolutely delicious and a wonderful experience. Gavin (server) and Sophie (somm) are masters of their craft. Can’t recommend enough!
We enjoyed a family dinner here with ages ranging from 18 to almost 60. Everyone loved it. The food was amazing. We all got something different so we could try several things. The elk t-bone was the standout, but every dish was delicious and the cocktails were as well. The service was outstanding.
Lovely restaurant experience in a cozy space with super friendly and attentive staff. Food was very thoughtfully crafted, well presented, tasty and high quality. We loved that they have a separate vegetarian menu (with a whole vegan section). Ordered the vegan cheese appetizer to start - the cheese is made in house and was very tasty. For entrees got the soy glazed tofu stir fry which was excellent and well flavored (the marinade was so good and tasty), and the mushroom ravioli dish (also very good). For dessert got the apple crumble, which was great. Would definitely recommend - the dinner here was very nice.
I count the days every year to come back here. This is by far the best restaurant in Telluride. Real cuisine with real ingredients and real passion behind every dish. Every plate will be a good idea and nothing to regret of. Starters are big size and amazing to share. Entres are perfect size too.

Was here for a wedding, very good quality despite the bulk service. Obviously a well run kitchen. Only thing that wasn’t spectacular was the chocolate (fudge?) dessert. Steak was A as was the octopus and other items we had.
One of the best restaurants in Telluride, we had an outstanding time. The food, service, and ambiance were all outstanding. If you are looking for a special place to have dinner in Telluride, 221 South Oak is the spot. On a side note, our pup Sidney loved the leftover Elk steak!
My experience at 221 South Oak was beyond memorable & one I haven’t had in a long, long time. I am so appreciative of all the amazing food, staff, time, and energy put into creating such an incredible environment and experience for everyone who comes through their door. Not only was I able to enjoy delightful dishes, filled with flavor and seasonal colors, the cocktails & paired wines complemented my meal perfectly. A special note for all the staff that were present, the warm hostess, incredible waiters, waitresses, & bartenders, and the confident, bubbly manager, Sophie, who moved seamlessly through the night attending to each and every person. I couldn’t recommend 221 more for people living in or passing through Telluride for a lively, delicious, and absolutely unforgettable night on the town.
My dinner here was the best of all dinners in Telluride! The menu options are great and unique, including a separate vegan/vegetarian menu. We all ordered different dishes, and everything was delicious. The drinks were great as well. Highly recommend and would give it 6 stars if I could. Will come back the next time I visit Telluride.
