We were so disappointed. We went to La Marmotte during our honeymoon to Teluride. This was supposed to be our big night out dinner. We couldn't even stay past the appetizers. I have never in my life sent back a dish... before this. The pork belly was a tough as jerky and tasted like pork cracklings. We finally worked up the courage to send it back. This was after having the seared scallops that were chewy and the sauce had the worst taste. The salmon ceviche tacos were not bad and unfortunately that was the highlight. Even after sending back the one app our bill was still over $100 - a bottle of wine (terrible) and two apps. There was one cook in the entire restaurant. Not only did that seem inadequate but he seemed too inexperienced to live up to what La Marmotte is supposed to be. I've heard great things before. Too bad.
Celebrated our 10 year at the bar with Mel. Awesome atmosphere and awesome drinks.
I would venture to say that La Marmotte is my favorite restaurant in Telluride. The menu is uncomplicated and straightforward. The food is also simply prepared, but expertly so. The chef let's the ingredients speak for themselves. Service is attentive and the ambience is just right. My one observation is a universal one..Why is it necessary to have very audible music in such an intimate and conversation-inducing atmosphere?
I would highly recommend picking somewhere else to eat, unless you're prepared to wait for food for two hours, to no avail. We walked in at 7:15 and got seated relatively quickly. We got our water and complimentary bread in a reasonable amount of time and ordered. After ordering we waited almost 2 hours for our highly priced food, finally deciding (at 8:50) that enough was enough. While leaving our waitress half heartedly apologized for the wait, telling us that they were not taking tables when we were seated. She also blamed the whole endeavor on the customer saying that we should have checked with the hostes (the same man that sat us) before sitting down. The only thing we tasted was the water, that tasted distinctly like chlorinized tap water. The food didn't leave a bitter taste in my mouth, but the service certainly did.
Fabulous food...great service!
