Excellent food and service! We started with the wild mushroom croquettes, then my wife had the whole roasted branzino and I had the poached salmon. All dishes were outstanding! About value…it’s resort pricing, so, you just have to deal with it. Value compared to other options in the town or on the mountain was probably above average.

Thank you David! We are elated to hear you and your wife had a wonderful evening with us, until next time.

Very expensive food for very average quality. Service was slow in the greenhouse. No kid friendly options which is on the description but just overall a miss for a ski town restaurant that has a lot of families. No one wants to buy a $70 steak option for their 7 year old. Overall- wouldn’t recommend. There are too many other options in telluride we went to that had better food, better service and a quarter of the cost.

Hello Danielle, we have seen both your reviews and would like to apologize if Side Work did not meet your expectations. Might I suggest our sister restaurant Smuggler Union Brewery for your next visit. They are more quickly paced, offer a child's menu, and at a different price point. We are sorry to hear you wouldn't recommend us, and won't be back, but thank you anyway for giving us a try and for your honest feedback. -Team Side Work
