Our server,Peter was excellent, very attentive and made good recommendations. I had the crispy shrimp and calamari and my husband had the seared scallops. Our entrees were smoked duck breast and a filet with mushrooms for him. Unfortunately we had a touch of altitude sickness so we ended up taking some of it to go. The lighting and music were perfect. We would highly recommend as everything is chef imagined with perfect companions and plating. On a happier note we had an amazing breakfast the next morning of all of the above. The service and food make this a worthwhile choice.

We love Cosmopolitan! The blackberry margarita was a great way to start the meal. Shared butternut squash soup and the beet salad-both delicious. For main course our server recommend the chicken and pork chop. Both were superb. Thanks for another special meal.

My wife and I caught this place in the fall off-season. Ambiance was nice for a ski town. Food was average for a restaurant on this scale. Wine was ridiculously over priced even by restaurant standards (125-140% of std high end restaurant prices). Service was very snooty, as if we should be happy we got in even after making a reservation weeks in advance and no one was even in the place. We travel and eat out at a lot of very nice places. Won’t be going back to this one.

We had a wonderful time celebrating my husband's birthday. I love that the "kid" menu is a young adult menu and has wonderful options. Kids deserve good food as well, and Cosmo delivered! As a local it is hard to dine out with prices, so this is the only area I would love to change, but this is the case in ALL of Telluride.
