    We have dined here so many times over the past 20 years…NSCH has never disappointed! They do offer some items unique to small town Colorado—oysters and other shellfish, for example. The most outstanding part of our dinner was our server, Adam. To have a smart, impeccably polite, well-educated fellow care for us was the best part of a wonderful and memorable evening.

    The restaurant accommodated us with changing our reservation from 8:30 pm to 6:15 pm with no problems. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. A must visit restaurant in Telluride. We just didn’t like that the tables are to close together. Other than that fully recommended.
