Sat outside as the evening sun set. Would have loved to try more things--so much sounded good. We ordered the special which was braised duck over green linguini with peas, pea tendrils, etc. This description does not do it justice; it was very unusual and nice. Also seared bass over mashed potatoes with an olive tapenade. House red was very drinkable and a very generous portion. Definitely would like to go back.

To be avoided! Made a reservation, showed up slightly early. Sat and watched 4 waiters walk past us without a word for 30 minutes. Not a "we will be right with you." Nothing! We got up and left. We will not be back and suggest you avoid them to.

One of the best restaurants in Glenwood Springs. Awesome beer selection and inventive food options. Having tried most of the menu (this is our go-to lunch spot), you can't go wrong. Be sure to save room for dessert!

A friend told me about this amazing place kitty-corner from the Amtrak station, and I made a mental note to try it the next time I found myself out this way. We arrived around 7:30pm on a Saturday sans reservations, and were told the wait would be 45 min to an hour. We scored seats at the bar and ended up just ordering dinner from the bar. The wait for a table ended up only being around 20 minutes, but we stayed at our cozy bar seats, enjoying some fun side conversation with the bartenders and patrons. I started with the gnocchi salad...wicked strange combination of sauteed gnocchi with asparagus and mushrooms, topped with a cold mixed green salad. But it worked excellently! For dinner I had the cianfotta - an Italian vegetable soup in a tasty parmasean broth topped with a green pesto. This was fantastically delicious and completely hit the spot on a cool summer eve. Boyfriend went with the salmon dish, and the chef made special accomodations since he's allergic to butter. Perfectly cooked and still tasty without the butter. We ended the meal with the tart cherry crisp and a strawberry rhubarb sorbet. I will ABSOLUTELY be back here - great service, great conversation, exciting menu, and excellent food. Kudos to the Pullman!

What a terrible experience. If you're the kind of person who appreciates prompt and friendly service, healthful and delicious food, and a clean and modern atmosphere, then I guess this is where you should be heading. Personally, I was offended by the perfectly prepared and presented steak salad which included a smattering of fries that added a brilliantly delightful touch of salt and starch to the already flavorful and tender steak and well seasoned salad. I mean really, what kind of restaurant finds GREAT people and gives them GREAT training and then pairs them with GREAT managers? Are they just trying to put everyone else out of business? It's shameful really. That's right Pullman, you should be ashamed. The duck meatballs over polenta were both delicious and original. The traditionally-inspired pierogis with carmelized onions and what seemed like a twist of pear LITERALLY left me licking the plate. Is that really how you treat people? Force them into a lifetime of dreaming of your food and service? Relishing licking the last bits of deliciousness off the plate long after it started being super awkward? Ruin every restaurant experience they've ever had before in one hour of sheer gastro-bliss that makes it impossible for any other place to compare? Fine. Well if that's how your'e going to be then so be it. I will REFUSE to ever again visit your establishment with its light and airy open kitchen and incredible staff and food. The only exception I'll make is if we happen to be in, near, or planning to go within 300 miles of Glenwood Springs again. So you can take your fancy-tasting yet deliciously affordable menu and your well-trained and thoughtful wait staff and you can keep them. We'll be over here enjoying sub par food and service by comparison at every place we used to love. Sincerely, Angrily Delighted PS: As far as I'm concerned the final straw was Rick and Kirby buying us dessert when they found out that we'd been in an accident. ARE YOU PEOPLE EVEN HUMAN?! I'm beginning to wonder whether this is really an alien plot to ruin our existing human standards for restaurant experiences. If so, know this: I'm on to you, and I'll be back. Especially if you still have the pear crisp with blue cheese ice cream. Bastards.

Had dinner twice over 3 days and this is definitely one of the best restaurants we have visited in the west. The menu is eclectic and thoughtful, providing an experience you would not expect in a town of about 10,000. The atmosphere is a comfortable unpretentious urban vibe that while bustling and busy provides for a fun dinner experience. From appetizer to desert, along with the wine and beer selection (most everything locally sourced) we had a tantalizingly excellent culinary experience. The truffled pork rinds were a fun start to each meal along with the kimchee (this would have been ordinary, but the toasted nuts in the kimchee put the flavor over the top and memorable). Dinner entree standouts were the mushroom Bolognese, pork belly special and a very delightful summer vegetable cianfotta. All of the flavors and seasonings were right on and didn't need any help at the table. One meal, we finished with a 4-way shared blueberry crisp with sweet corn ice cream that was OMG over the top (next time if it is on the menu, we order 4). As a matter of a little hint, look into Phat Thai and Town also part of the family. Neither of those will disappoint either.

Avoid this garbage place!! Waitresses are so full of themselves, the food was good but when I pay 20-25 dollars for a plate of food I want food. The portions are enough to feed a toddler. On top of it is outrageous they charge $10 for a lemon drop drink. Of course they didn't tell us that then I complained how that is bullshit to pay that much for 3 ounce drink. They could care less of course. Have my zero dollar tip never going to this outrageous place ever again.

Way better priced than Aspen. Burger was good with nice caramelized onions. Duck confit salad also good, prunes elevated it. Decent enough, didn't think it was anything special though. They have a pig statue in there, like Amada in Philadelphia.

Freaking amazing! I had the Pullman burger which was a staple of culinary excellence. It has white cheddar and caramelized onions. Simple but mind blowing. We got the chips with blue cheese sauce as an appetizer and it was very good. Has a slight spicy aftertaste but just barely noticeable. Service was outstanding. Most of their food is raised close by, our waiter actual said the cows live in a better neighborhood than he does. Ha! Must stop and enjoy. They had a bunch of local craft beers on tap, but I still ha to drive so no beer for me.

We were in Glenwood Springs for a little vacation and the Pullman had the best reviews online, so why wouldn't we try it out. We called ahead to reserve a table for 4 and we arrived a little early to grab a drink from the bar. The problem was the bartender didn't acknowledge my presence. So I decided to walk around to the other side of the bar closer to the server station. Nope, still nothing...No big deal, we got our table and I figured I would just order some wine with dinner. Our server greeted us after 5 minutes of waiting. Our table ordered a round of house wine and he was off to collect our drinks. 5 minutes later our server came back and informed us they were out of the wine that we ordered. Fine, no big deal, we ordered a bottle and started looking over the menu. Our server showed up 5 minutes later with the bottle of wine and we placed our order. For dinner we ordered two of the two of the bacon pickled eggs, a small side salad, mach and cheese with a side of chicken and the smoked chicken and sage gnudi. The eggs were awesome, each egg was cut in 1/2, so if you expected a full egg you should order more. My wife liked the mac & cheese, actually she loved it. The problem was the server forgot her chicken. After we reminded him, he apologized and ran off to order the side. About 15 minutes later he came back to check in on us and we had to remind him of the chicken breast again. Of course he ran off and got it and apologized again. Apparently the chicken was great. My chicken and sage gnudi was fantastic, great well rounded flavors. I recommend this dish if you're not really hungry. After we finished our meal our server brought us our check and we immediately put our cards in the "folder" so we could get out of there. By this time the bad service was really catching up to me. I tried to get the servers attention but he was too busy chatting with people at all his tables. It took him about 15 minutes to come back to us so we can pay out. If the Pullman can do a better job training there servers they would have a wonderful restaurant. Until then I'm going to recommend the Glenwood Canyon Brewing Co. They were awesome.

If I could give 6 stars, I would. We found The Pullman based on the excellent Yelp reviews, and after checking out the local hot spring, we decided to check it out... Could not be happier that we did. Our server was warm and friendly, answering our silly questions about beer and some of the more obscure menu items. I went for the soup of the day and my girlfriend went for the butternut squash salad--both had us stealing mouthfuls from the other's plates. I went for the pork belly, which was hands down the best I've ever had. The steel cut oats were killed, and whatever sauce they used pulled everything together with its plummy tanginess. My lady had the mac and cheese, which she also loved. She prefers sharper cheeses in her mac and cheeses and this definitely delivered. We also split a side of the gnocchi bites, which were almost addicting. Definitely recommended. Even though we were stuffed, we had to try the delicious pear crisp with blue cheese ice cream, with the port finish. I'm so, so glad we did. So yeah--unless you like great service, world class New American, and the most relaxing atmosphere you can ask for, I'd avoid at all costs ;)

This place is fantastic! I came in with my family for a casual dinner. It was a bit fancier than we anticipated, but it was really tasty. My husband ordered pierogies which were outstanding and I ordered the pasta with duck which was also very flavorful. The drinks were especially great. My husband had the left hand luke and I had the dancing dog. Yummy!

Once again, yelpers know their food! Was driving through and stopped for lunch and had the ginger salmon cake sandwich. Just sounds yummy, doesn't it...and it was!!! Soooooooo good! The toppings were creative and serving it on a delicious english muffin is a great idea. I would eat here weekly if I lived in the area...and like others have mentioned, the service was FANTASTIC. You are very lucky Glenwood Springs, very lucky!

Service was excellent. Our waiter was enthusiastic about the menu and provided a perfect balance of checking on us and chatting without ever being intrusive. The food was amazing! I'm still dreaming about the slow roasted pork belly with white cheddar grits. They had a good beer selection with only Colorado beers, including some specialty releases I hadn't tried before. Prices were very reasonable given the quality. We spent approximately $80 for three beers, an appetizer and two entrees. I'm looking forward to our next visit!

Just had The Pullman for the second time. I seriously can't wait to go back! Awesome location across from train tracks in DT Glenwood Springs. Lamb nuggets OK, not blow your mind good. Not a lot of meat, breaded. Oysters weren't prepared by somebody who knew how to do oysters! Came dried out, attached to the shell, no brine. Eeks. Mussels were beautiful. Amazing. Romaine and chicken salad was really amazing. Charred romaine, extra generous when I said I wanted beaucoup anchovies. Yay! Shishito's definitely the best we've ever had. The coconut mint peanut sauce was great - they were sprinkled with sesame seeds and roasted peanuts. Husband had burger one time - found it average. We also had the shrimp with avocado mousse - lovely. Light and delicious. My husband has tried many cocktails and has loved all of them - not too sweet very very fresh tasting. We can't wait to keep going - it seems like they're awesome at updating menu!!!

Believe the reviews. About as perfect of a meal a foodie will find anywhere. This place would compete with the best in any major metropolitan market. We make it an annual pilgrimage here while visiting the hot springs, but the food here is worth the 1 hr drive from Vail.

This was our first time to the Pullman after reading the Yelp reviews. Being from the east coast, I am not easily impressed by food here in Colorado, but this may have been one of the best meals I have had, and I have been to every restaurant from the Brown Palace to Colfax staples. We are a big fan of handmade drinks and flavorful food and this place has both! I had the duck fettuccine and he had the pork loin. WOW! The staff from the hostess, to the bartender, to the server was excellent! I would make a trip back from Denver to Glenwood just for the food! We are ecstatic to hear they own a restaurant here in Denver. A must try and with two rounds of drinks, an appetizer, meals, and irish coffee to follow, all under $100.00 for two!

Best food in town? Wow, if it is true, then I feel sorry. I haven't tasted all restaurants in town but The Pullman wasn't impressive to me. Put it this way, four of us dropped 100 bucks for dinner here and we went to the Village Inn next to our lodge afterwards for pie, shakes, and sandwiches and felt more satisfied. Here's the rundown: - Roasted Colorado Striped Bass: stick to Chilean sea bass if you have the choice - Grilled Pork Belly | Apple Butter: the plate this was served on was interesting, the dish itself, not so much - Grilled Hanger Steak | Cauliflower Potatoes Au Gratin: now this probably could've turned out better if my stupid cousin had not ordered it medium well, not Pullman's fault! - Grass Fed Burger with homemade chips: thought it was a tad dry. I do want to give them thumbs up for serving both kinds of homemade chips though (regular and sweet potatoes) - Mac and Cheese: not as fancy as I expected, or as the menu description lead me to think - Gnocchi Salad: recommended by our server and is truly one of the most original salads, the best dish of the night, by far! Atmosphere and service were both quite nice.

We had kind of an odd experience here. I'm not sure if our server was drunk, high, slow, or new. But she had a really difficult time doing her job. The first sign of this was when I ordered a drink prior to my boyfriend, she asked for my ID, I then handed it to her, she glanced at it, looked off into the distance for a moment, and started walking away with my ID. Again, my boyfriend hadn't even ordered yet, and it was really bizarre. She then weirdly returned, apologized, and handed me my ID. It didn't get much better from here, and she became increasingly rude and short as time went on. Considering mountain towns are somewhat difficult to get a decent dinner in, I probably would return. The food was fine, it wasn't blow your mind amazing, but it filled our requirements for a good meal. The dessert however was excellent. I'm sure it would've been better had our server been with it. I would absolutely hope she wasn't our server if we returned.

The Pullman was our special occasion spot. For awhile it was excellent! Great food and service. But, I'm sad to say that the last three times my husband and I have been there, the food was ok, and the service not so good. Took forever for our server to take our order, and to refill drinks on a not so busy night. I'm hesitant to go back. I would love to love this place again.

This was my second time dining at The Pullman and both times were great. If I could just rate our server Emilee I would have given 5 stars. The Gnudi with chicken and sage took it down a star....It had no flavor and the chicken tasted old. Everything else was great and especially noteworthy was the salad with steak, blue cheese, caramelized onions and bacon... I especially miss the stout chocolate cake....why would you take that off the menu?

We heard about this place from the hotel desk (Lodge, aka pool hotel) and decided that if it were as popular and famous (Esquire magazine) as its rep, then why not give it a go. We started with the goat cheese fritters, (5 stars!). They came with hazelnut hummus, a green squirt of something or another on top, and pure super yumminess. I'm also sure they were 10000 calories each for how delicious they were. For our entrees we got the hamburger and order of mac and cheese. The hamburger was the best I've had in the last decade for sure. It was simple, fresh (killed yesterday) and cooked just right (med-well was the order but it was pink but no worries). It came with a slice of provolone melted on the patty, sauteed onion, and charred just right on the outside. The bun complemented it perfectly and I added a dab of mayo and ketchup. Over all I would definitely highly recommend the burger if it's an option (this place seems like they might change up the menu). The mac was amazing too. Gruyere cheese! Rather small for the price, but the taste was definitely worth it (I think $12). I would classify this as more of a sampler than an actual entree but it beats the BS that Panera serves for $1000 for a bite of their mac and cheese. All in all this place is amazing and we will be coming here each and every time that we visit the springs. I would one day like to sample everything they offer. 5 of 5 for sure.

Amy M.
Yum, yum. We were provided with the brunch menu and proceeded to order the poutine for an app. My husband ordered the mac & cheese which could have used a bit more flavor. But the real reason I am a fan is due to the dish that I ordered. Pierogis with truffle potato, caramelized onions & scallion crème fraiche. It was so good that I used bread to soak up every last bit of the flavor. I would definitely stop in here again when in the area and order the same dish.
(4)
Tara G.
Very good but not great. The flavors of the food were just the slightest bit off. Risotto just a little too salty, Bolognese not salty enough, smoky dishes just a little too sweet. The other discord was that the ambiance was loud. Hubby and I had to resort the texting each other in order to "talk". I did however love the cocktails. And the staff was very nice. I shied away from the Afternoon Delight at first because many drinks featuring strawberries are just too sweet but hubby had one and it was flavorful and bright and not overly sweet. I also tried the Spring H2O which was very refreshing and deceptively intoxicating. I'd definitely eat at the Pullman again and enjoyed my meal. I'm sure I could find something that would make this a five star experience.

Lia H.
Had the special (steak) and we ordered medium. It came cold and rare so we sent it back. They basically threw what we had left to cook it again and it didn't turn out too well and tasted burnt. BUT the server was amazing and addressed our concerns immediately and took the steak off the bill. I think we may have just had a fluke entree (special) and would return. Prices were excellent.

This was my first visit to The Pullman and it was great! My daughters pb&j was on what looked to be homemade bread. The pickled deviled eggs with bacon are a must have and so are the house made pork rinds. I had the duck meatloaf and it was so-so, but my husbands pierogi's were out of this world! I will be back!

Kyla S.
I would totally give this restaurant 5 stars, but I have only been here once so only have one thing to base my rating off of. I was there last weekend with a group of 14, and when we made the reservation we were told our tables would be separate (two tables of 7) dude to the size of the restaurant, or table limitations, which we were all okay with. For starters I tried the bacon, dill, deviled egg and really liked it, and probably could have eaten a dozen of them.. but limited myself to one. For dinner I ordered the Truffle Perogies because I LOVE TRUFFLE and if you LOVE truffle, this dish is for you.. If you just "like" truffle oil, the truffle taste may be a bit overwhelming. My boyfriend did not care for the dish saying that all he could taste was the truffle, but I absolutely loved the dish. And I didn't let any go to waste- with the bread they bring you, I soaked up the juices and gave the waitress back a very cleaned off plate. Just a note- the serving sizes are all a bit small, but you are here for quality, not quantity.. keep that in mind for those who need a lot to eat. Also- for all of the guys...1 guy ordered the burger and EVERY other guy on our trip wish they would have got that instead. The next thing I want to try there is the Bolognese- a few people in our party ordered this, and it sounded fabulous.

Best service we have had, probably ever. Emilee was awesome. We had driven over 12 hours that day. Stopped for dinner and not only did we have great service but the food was definitely to write home about! Best chicken by far we have had in a restaurant. The homemade corn crunch/ice cream/flourless chocolate goodness was fantastic! Thanks to Emilee for a great experience.

Fantastic dinner! My husband and I had the pleasure of randomly stumbling upon this little gem. Super cute inside, terrific service and AMAZING food. I had the salmon with smoked mash potatoes and one bite took me to heaven!! The hubs had the pork shoulder and I practically had to rip the plate away for fear of him licking it clean!! The service was top notch and they helped us choose the right food and wine. Did I forget to mention the MAPLE BACON DEVILED EGGS???? Do yourself a favor. Eat here.

Every single thing that we ordered was to die for. Gnocchi salad, peirogi, rabbit and baby carrots, salmon with smoked mashed potatoes - every bite truly delicious. And the banana strawberry bread pudding - excellent. The meal easily rivaled any we've had in Napa and other world class resorts. I just loved the menu!

The Pullman is always my "go-to" restaurant when I'm in GWS. I always make sure to make a reservation in advance on Open Table even on a Thursday or Friday night in the off-season. Went there last night to celebrate a late birthday and was able to get in right away with the reservation. The wait between courses was a little long (I was very hungry) but they're so busy that it is understandable. Maybe they could hire some more servers... The food doesn't suffer from the rush which is fine by me!! What we ate: Duck Nuggets- I don't know how they cook them (fried maybe) but they're Amazing!! the meat melts in your mouth and the sauce is really well paired. A great appetizer and was still good later that night as a late snack. Mac-n-cheese- Awesome as usual. Rich and creamy. Lamb shoulder- Boyfriend said it was very good, but a little fatty. Beef/potatoes- These were great as well and done exactly to my liking! Sauce was really good. Bread pudding- Boyfriend at this and said he loved it but wished there was more ice cream! The wait staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. The manager was also a GREAT support to his staff as well as me. He was running around busing tables, serving food, and checking in on guests. Also, I had gotten a Very bad sunburn and he offered to bring me some cream to put on it, which worked great! Overall 5 stars every time I've been there!!

I have to thank my fellow Yelpers for finding The Pullman while in Glenwood Springs! I found myself wandering around their old town area solo, and I was ready for lunch. A quick Yelp search showed me that the Pullman was one of the highest rated joints in town and - bonus - about a block from the place I was standing. I headed straight over and grabbed a seat at the bar. The bartender was knowledgeable and friendly. He offered suggestions for beer (where they had only a few draught options) and food (where they had MANY options). I opted for that day's special, which was a cold smoked pork sandwich with slaw on the side. I must admit, I headed in pretty hungry but wasn't able to finish the whole thing. They were very generous with the meat, which was appreciated since it had been cooked to perfection. If you're in town, check it out - who doesn't love a beer and some good food after a day on the slopes?

Great dinner! Chose this based on yelp reviews and wasn't disappointed. We traveled from Denver to Glenwood Springs and did the hanging table hike along the way so we were starving by the time dinner came around. Booked with open table and happy we did as it was busy. Ordered some beers to go with the deviled eggs ($1.50 ea) and goats cheese fritters ($10). My partner ordered the natural chicken with spring vegies and I got the Colorado bass ($20 ea). Really great with some crispy potatoes ($5). Great service, excellent atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed our Pullman experience.

Here's the thing- I had a good time at the Pullman. I enjoyed some of the food here very very much. I am being critical of them, however. Why? Well, because they should know better. See, this isn't a one-off place. The people that own this also own Phat Thai (Carbondale) and Harman's (Now in Cherry Creek) and Town. I am *convinced* that the only reason this place is so cult-like in the area is because it is the ONLY place in Glenwood Springs that even attempts to do New American food. If you are between Edwards (where you should go to Dish!) and Aspen, this is your only bet for nouveau food (except their other restaurants). I wouldn't say they're phoning it in but they're coasting. We came here early-ish on a weekday evening, after going elsewhere for Happy Hour, because the Pullman doesn't offer one; minus one star because not having happy hour is just plain stupid. We got seated and ended up ordering beers (pretty reasonably priced) because cocktails are all around $10. I will say they had an amazing wine special though we didn't order it. For food we ordered: the fried artichokes, the duck n' waffles, and the special for the evening. The only thing everyone actually liked was the special- shaved cured pork with shaved radish, fennel, and some arugula all in a vinegar dressing, topped with rye croutons and mustard ice cream. Yes, it was as amazing as it sounds and I admired the play with temperature. I do think the artichokes were good but mostly because they were large artichoke heart quarters, not tiny pieces. Whatever they were served with was not as it was described and the wedges of olives on the stone tablet (not plate) were pointless. The duck n' waffles, which my father really pushed for, were to me totally......meh. The real (and very problematic) issue with this dish is that the description- "duck n' waffles- balsamic cherry jam" does not at all impart that this is actually 4 small wedges of cold reheated-to-room-temp waffle topped with what I think was a duck terrine, and some not at all flavorful (let alone tart) cherry jam. Pullman, take note- Blue Star, a restaurant I do not like in Colorado Springs, even makes this dish a hell of a lot better than you do, so take note. My parents both were not fans of this dish and I can't blame them. We did get dessert, which was the only other remarkable dish. The strawberry-rhubarb ravioli with basil ice cream was very very well made, although the pastry was not described and quite hard. Honestly, the Pullman should probably just become a Haute Cuisine ice cream shop, and they'd be a lot more successful; the only dishes we all loved were the ones that involved unusual ice creams, and those were the stars. I would return here, but mostly because there's very little else in this town, which is exactly the problem, I think. If anyone else enters with real competition, Pullman will have to step up, or find somewhere else.

Two times in two days. That's how good The Pullman is. We had a mini weekend trip to Glenwood Springs and convinced our friends that dinner at the Pullman would be in their (our) very best interest. Luckily, my friends are cool. Everything I had that night was delicious.. from the Colorado Bass (the carrot ginger sauce that I wanted to lick off the plate) to the pork rinds, to the duck meatloaf and pierogis, and finally the creamed spinach. Delicious - all of it. Too bad none of us had room left for dessert. Because that happened, I convinced the bf that we absolutely had to come back to the Pullman for lunch the next day, just to taste the dessert. So I kept it small and got the gnocchi salad and wow, it was a killer salad. Loved the parmesan and truffle oil that they used, along with the grilled mushrooms and gnocchi. Mmm.. salivating while thinking about it. We made sure to leave room for dessert and chose the nutella bread pudding and the salted peanut butter pie. Both so so so so so so good. I especially loved the bacon ice cream that came with the nutella bread pudding. Both times the service was really spot on and helpful and I have nothing but praise for The Pullman (maybe a tiny desperate wish that it was located closer to the Denver area).

Had dinner reservations last night at 7:15, a little concerned as there was a crowd of people trying to be seated without reservations, and group by group they were turned away with an estimate of an hour plus wait. They acknowledged our reservation, and took us immediately to our table. Pleasant hostess, poured us water as soon as we sat down, chatted for a moment and then back to her post. The atmosphere was great, sort of modern but still warm and comfortable. Our server was attentive and pleasant, even taking time to chat here and there although she was obviously busy. We ordered drinks while looking at the menu, and honestly they took a bit longer than they should have to arrive, but not an issue. The beer was really good and my wife had a signature cocktail that was also really good. We ordered appetizers, and entrees.every bite was great. The food arrived a little haphazardly, but promptly and with all the waitstaff pitching in to assist. All in all The Pullman was a great experience. I will be back and will definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Every time i am in glenwood this is a must go. It is a little pricy but always worth it. My recommendation to others is, ask them whats special and just take their word and get it. Elk Meatloaf? FANTASTIC! Pickled deviled eggs? AWESOME! It may sound strange but i have yet to have a bad item there.

1st Anniversary Dinner WOW!!!! What a great restaurant starting off from service from our wonderful waitress Amanda which made our night so memorable. She was never afraid to list recommendations off of the menu her personality made me and and my wife feel so welcomed. This was our first time to Glenwood Springs and we wanted to dine in a place that we would not have any problems. Being that I am a Food and Beverage Director for a hotel in Downtown Denver we hardly ever have a meal that I am not noticing a few missed steps but its human nature when you are in this business. Our Waitress Amanda made sure every need was meet and to the Chef best Lamb ive had in a long time perfect medium. MY OVERALL SCORE IS NOT A 5 BUT A 10 AND BELIEVE ME YOU WILL SEE US VERY SOON. Every element is great from the atmosphere, food, great beverages (ever summer cocktail) to everyone being so polished and hats off the management team great moral with the staff the happiest staff ive seen in a long time. Thank you, Jesus & Jennifer Pacheco

Great dining experience! First night in Glenwood Springs we decided on eating at the Pullman. What a great place with great food and service. Our waitress was exceptionally knowledgable about the menu and was very courteous. The food was amazing, the menu options were great and quirky. I say quirky because I had not seen several of the menu items before which made the experience even better....we like to try new things...especially if they taste as good as Pullman's food. We will be going back before our trip is over. Went back for a second time and was just as happy. Recommend asking to be sat in Emily's section, she is awesome.
This place blew me away. My fiance and I went here on our anniversary vacation up to Glenwood Springs and we were not disappointed. The prices were good and the food was outstanding, innovative and fun. GET THE HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD! As wonderful as our meal was, that salad took the cake. I've also honestly never had such good service. Our server was so informative and fun that it really made the experience that much better.

Great customer service. Great food without being pretentious. The steak salad and roasted chicken were awesome. The chicken was tender and very well seasoned. It was served with brussels, fennel and bacon. The steak on the salad was cooked perfectly and the salad was a generous portion. Two in our party got the specials, which was scallops with risotto. The flavors melded very well, but the portion was slight for the price.

I'm rating The Pullman four stars, based on food and atmosphere. The food was simple, yet amazing. Portions are small, so I would suggest adding a salad or appetizer to your entree. I ordered a steak and my husband had the duck. The steak was perfectly prepared. I ended up sharing a bit of it with my husband because the duck portion was so small. Our server was ok. He was quite flighty and seemed to have too many tables to take care of. He seemed confused when I asked about a gluten free option. I believe that, at one point, he honestly forgot about our table. Despite some mishaps, I would still return based on the restaurant doing things right. Good food, good booze and a fun atmosphere.

So glad that my fellow Yelpers directed us to this place. We had one of the best meals I've had in a VERY long time. Our server was amazing, very personable and efficient. She shared the specials with us, and we decided to split the small plate and entree specials. The small plate was a pork tamale wrapped in a banana leaf, with a wonderful salsa/relish on top of tomatoes and golden raisins. The raisins had re-hydrated while sitting in the relish into these wonderful little flavor bombs that not only perfected the relish, but complemented the tamale perfectly. The beau enjoyed a beer flight of their rotating taps while we waited for our entree-- mushroom agnolotti with goat. I'd never had goat before, but our server vouched for the dish, so we went for it. So glad we did! The fresh mushrooms inside the cheese-less agnolotti were bathed in this glorious broth that burst into your mouth in heavenly fashion. The goat was super tender and had a very rich flavor, which was offset perfectly by the lemon-herb creme fraiche and the mixed vegetable garnish on top. We decided to throw our discipline out the window and ordered the apple ravioli for dessert. Forget what you know about savory ravioli-- these ravioli were fried to a perfect crisp and then covered in a generous layer of cinnamon sugar, effectively becoming mini apple pie pockets. AAH-MAZING! The gingerbread ice cream and rum caramel sauce served with them were also delicious, and before our server could return to ask us how dessert was, we had completely cleaned the plate. I absolutely LOVED this place, and will definitely be back; even if I have to make a special trip to Glenwood Springs just to dine here!

This place is not for everyone. You have to appreciate something different and appreciate that it's coming from chef because if you don't then you'll feel ripped off for the small portion you're getting to the price you're paying. All in all, I thought the food was good but fell a bit short of my expectations. I had the rabbit special, which I think I've only had once in my life. I thought the rabbit was prepared very well (almost looked like carnitas) and the dish overall was fine but not memorable. I also had some of the cianfotta, which I felt the pesto overwhelmed the dish and there was way too much eggplant in comparison to all the other veggies. As for the ambiance, I loved it. It's an older building converted to a modern, minimalistic interior. The place was packed solid so we knew the food would be good. I just think if you're going to come here just know what to expect. You won't be disappointed by the experience.

Great food, inventive menu, enthusiastic server with great ideas. We pass through Glenwood frequently. We have tried different restaurants each time but nothing has measured up to the Pullman. This is our second time for dinner at The Pullman and we thought the food and service were up there with top flight big city and resort experiences. We had trout beignets, kale salad, filet, scallop appetizer, a side with brussels sprout, leeks and bacon, and pear crumble. All excellent! She servers were all hustling and had big smiles. My husband was delighted that they had a top flight non-alcoholic beer (not easy to find). We will definitely be back on our next trip through Glenwood Springs.

OMGosh! To Die For! This place deserves 6 stars! NO KIDDING!!!! The reviews on The Pullman are top notch, and now I understand why - OMGosh! We had the Gnochi Salad - very good. We split the salad, it was more than enough for both of us, very good. Never would have thought of putting gnochi in a salad, but it worked! My husband had the artichoke bisque soup - he said it was very good, too rich for me. I did taste it, and it was good. We split the large plate special - pork shoulder. I can't begin to describe this dish. It just melted in the mouth! No Kidding! It was over a green garlic grits (or something like that), and some rhubarb (I believe, but don't quote me on that). I don't like grits, have never liked grits, but these were WOW! The pork shredded so easily, and the combination of all the different flavors, was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! It melted in the mouth - I already said that, but it did, it melted in the mouth! Oh, it was also more than enough for us to split too. Interior - black was the accent color, with dark green walls. It is open, and just a nice, friendly, welcoming, come in and stay a while, atmosphere. That doesn't even begin to describe it. Open, inviting, and you do, just want to sit, relax, and stay a while. There are approximately 20 tables, and a bar, with seating around it. There is one tv by the bar too. Parking - on the street, which can be hard in Glenwood Springs, especially when it's during the busy tourist season. Beverages - I had their coffee, and I really enjoyed it! I should have asked the brand, but didn't. Prices - approximately $20 or so for each person, but so worth it! Service - Excellent! Management - Awesome! Management, to me, is a reflection of the service, which is Excellent! So, Management is Awesome! Chef - WOW! He/She really knows his/her stuff! The flavor combinations, plating, everything, was so well done! KUDOS to the Chef! When to go - Whenever you can! We were in Glenwood Springs, during my birthday, and this was just the place to celebrate too! We will definitely go back! WOW!!!!

My boyfriend and I dined here the other night and our experience was top notch. Our server gave us some great suggestions. We started off with the CO Mule, very tasty. Then we got 2 small plates- house made burrata with grilled asparagus, shitake, tomato, pistachio butter and the crispy goat cheese with field greens, local melon, oregano vin. Both really good, but didn't realize both had small salads. The cheeses were so good on their homemade bread. For the main encore we got the roasted pork belly with parmesan grits, bacon braised kale, smoked cherry bbq. It was the best pork belly I've ever had. And while we were both full, we had to try dessert too. We opted for the butterscotch budino with rum caramel, vanilla foam. It was so good! I look forward to returning soon.

The next day the boyfriend and I decided to try dinner hours. Ordered dishes included the red curry mussels ($14) and duck breast with a side of black eyed peas ($19). As appetizers we ordered the poutine ($8), which disappointingly did not come out as hoped - over baked with yellow cheese, no white curds (per mention in the menu) and topped with a tasty gravy. The dish was still edible but not phenomenal. As for the duck breast, the portion was small even though on the menu it is under the category of "large plates." The duck was cooked with a little pinkness and the black eyed peas were simple and unseasoned. The red curry mussels were good but I think it would have been great had there been coconut milk as an added ingredient in addition to bread for dipping in the sauce! The bf and I commented on the unexpected results of the poutine and to appease our disappointment Chad provided a complimentary eggnog budino dessert that was absolutely delicious and a reason to come back.

I actually ate here twice before writing just to be sure it's as good as I thought. I'm going back tomorrow. Creative, delicious, unique flavors...oh, and awesome craft beer on tap. Lunch: pulled pork sandwich with balsamic citrus bbq sauce. Whoa good. Also tried the special, braised short ribs pulled then put on an english muffin with an egg and spicy hollandaise sauce. Dinner: Crab dip with lemon emulsion and crustini. Pierogis with truffle potato, caramelized onions and creme fraiche. Desert was apple crisp ravioli with gingerbread ice cream. I don't normally post the dishes I eat, but that should give an idea of the menu. It's fantastic. I eat at so many restaurants that are nothing but the same thing, I love unique, especially when done well. Seriously, I can't recommend it enough. Great dining.
This really was an extraordinary restaurant experience. The menu was a bit surprising, almost like just a bunch of random foodie terms scrambled up. But each of the eight or nine dishes we ordered was terrific. Service was not fast but was excellent, our server was cheerful and extremely helpful and well-informed about the food. This place is a real find, probably the best restaurant on the Western Slope. Worth a trip to Glenwood in itself and certainly a great place to eat if you are driving through.

Well um, this is awkward. I think this is a Yelp over-hype thing. Our meal was fair. But not 'great'. I made reservations a couple weeks in advance for 6p-ish since no other times were available on Opentable. Further, I saw that a fellow foodie friend had been here and gave it a thumbs up so I thought it might be good. I was REALLY looking forward to this meal, and embarrassed myself by telling everyone in my group that they would love this place! There is nothing worse than stretching your neck out there to talk up a restaurant and then..bam! Mediocrity. We noshed on the poutine, ham and gruyere fritters, kale and parm salad, roasted chicken with butternut squash, risotto, pancetta, et al., scallops...it was 'good'. Again, I love the philosophy and descriptions of their menu but items were sort of overly nouveau without enough thought about food symphony. Things were pretty but did not taste good. Overall, we were at "meh" by desert time. Then, ultimately, the kids' dessert (vanilla bean ice cream with chocolate sauce) came out and my kid literally spit it out and said "YUCK!!" The adults - clearly alarmed that my gelato-loving child did not love his dessert - investigated further. Indeed, it tasted freezer-burned (forgivable as we assume restaurants scoop these portions into ramekins en masse), but the additional taste of 'scotch tape' and 'frozen onions' were fodder for conversation. We told our server, who agreed it tasted like chives although did not really offer any sort of apology or explanation. Kitchen staff dipped fingers into this sample..gave looks of yuck and then defensiveness..we thought that was odd. Fess up when you throw uncovered ramekins into the freezer with your soup/sauce/oniony thingy but no matter what get the kids a new ice cream!! I wanted to love this place. Disappointed.

This place blew my mind! Coming from San Francisco, we had low expectations on what kind of food we can find in Glenwood Springs. However the dinner at Pullman turned out to be one of the most delicious dinners we have ever had. We had the pork belly and calamari salad for appetizer. Both were 5 star worthy. The pork belly with their house kimchee and the slight hint of sweet & sour flavor is in particularly memorable. I loved the calamari and arugula salad too, even though I don't usually like arugula. We then had the lamb bolognese and seared scallops for the main course. The seared scallops were cooked perfectly, and the sauce that came with it was beyond words. The lamb bolognese was great too, it's on the less fancy side and more on the food-cooked-by-grandma side, and it warmed us from inside on that very cold day. We were very very impressed by the food from the Pullman, and only wished that we had stayed in Glenwood Springs for a couple of more days just to go back there!

This was a great find in Glenwood Springs! My husband and I are from the front range and frequent Boulder restaurants. We found this to be on par or better than some of the best restaurants in Boulder only half the price! We had dinner and everything was amazing. The Colorado mule cocktail, duck nuggets and a cantaloupe special were some of the highlights. We will definitely be back again!

If you have read my other reviews you'll see they are more slanted towards the negative, do I have anything good to say about the restaurants in this area you may ask? the answer is a resounding, NO, went here to celebrate my wife's 30th birthday the other day, there was a nasty rain storm that afternoon as we arrived at the restaurant early (4:45pm), was it open? NO..... okay I thought just myself my wife and daughter, however, did they open for the numerous other guests that had turned up and were trying the locked front door before 5 pm? NO..... so we all waited, stupidly in the rain to be allowed entry into the establishment.....I've eaten here approximately 10 times since it has opened, and I've come to the conclusion that the inconsistencies in the food and service are this restaurant's consistencies............

I am giving the Pullman 5 stars as I believe it would do as well in a larger market (such as Denver) as it does in the more quaint Glenwood Springs. My husband and I started with the macaroni and cheese. The gruyere cheese and crispy crumbles on top make this dish! There was not a noodle left when we finished. At this point, bread came. i skipped it in favor of what I knew would be a delicious meal. I'm glad I saved room! I had the hangar steak cooked (Gasp!) medium well and it was still juicy and flavorful. It was cooked in red wine and the flavor was just right. My steak was served with fingerling potatoes, which were also...as good as you would expect fingerling potatoes to be. For the love of all that is good, order the butterscotch budino. Budino is a kind of pudding (Don't worry, we had to ask too). Seriously, if I were Oprah, this would be on my list of favorite things. The pudding has the right amount of salty flavor to be balanced perfectly by the vanilla "foam" (reads more like whipped cream) on top. I say budino is a "kind of" pudding because the consistency was much lighter, almost like a mousse. 2 days later and I am still dreaming of butterscotch. The decor is also nicely played-exposed brick, clever art, exposed lightbulbs hanging by wires... If The Pullman wasn't 3 hours away, we'd be back within 2 weeks!

The Pullman provides upscale food with a local, friendly, flair. I had the Eggplant cannelloni and it was divine. The eggplant was roasted to perfection, the mushroom risotto was flavorful and the coriander tomato sauce had just enough spice to really add some kick to the dish. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the Elk Meatloaf and my daughter loved the grilled chicken salad that included grilled romaine.

Its all true. All of it. Every good review. The creators of the Pullman cafe and bar have a tight formula that delivers high quality, incredibly high quality food and service at shockingly reasonable prices. A big city panache, amazingly well done. Exposed brick in hardwood floor, two story ceilings and comfortable seatings, surrounded by huge windows on two sides giving you a view of the Denver Hotel and the train station. The street is now expanding to patio seating and only one way traffic, as of this posting, construction still goes on. But with all the restored brick buildings, the gorgeous and beautiful train station, the view and setting is already stellar. But if this was a dump, it would still be worth coming here for the food and service, and again those great great prices. I'm not talking about super crazy good prices, we're still talking $10 for a burger or a sandwich or more, but for the quality of the food most certainly reasonable. The entrees range from 11 to 20 ish, and the menu changes seasonally. They try as much as possible to use the whole farm to table philosophy. The bread is custom baked, they cure a lot of their own me, sustainable and humane meat on Lee need apply. For vegetarians, they keep it going to supply on the menu. Their burgers and sandwiches are all top notch versions, respective for juicy meat. Homemade sauces, quality cheese and the very deft hands in the kitchen. Something that you should never miss are the fries, small, perfectly crisp yet creamy, these fries stand up has some of the best I've ever had. Some of the rotating pasta dishes I've had have been sublime as well. In the eight times that I have attended here over 2 years of visiting, they always has it gnocchi on the menu, mac and cheese, and those sandwiches and burgers. If you are lucky enough to catch the duck carbonara, with one small, local egg poached on the pasta. A complex sauce featuring nuances that will make your mouth smile. The service is insanely professional and well done. They use a cadre of runners and wait staff, and order fulfillment is not dependent on one person. Given, I do usually don't eat with the herd, so I cannot vouch for their dinner practices, but with their dedication of the front of the house and management to top notch quality customer service, a great work environment, I cannot imagine that the busy nights are not handled well as could be. In two years of coming here, I already recognize several faces. Always the sign of a good organization in the service industry, at least in a competitive market, low turnover. If you are going into the restaurant business, you could do worse than to observe and emulate how the Pullman does business. One night while eating at the bar, I chopped it up with some of the employees. Evidently they now have three restaurants in Colorado and looking for a fourth. Clearly, the formula is working for them. The mac and cheese, for me is not four star. But I make a very good mac and cheese and I have high standards . It is amazing how many times with those high standards I have been transported to admiration and pleasurable wonder by the food here. I think the only bad experience I've had with anything here was the pork belly. Small portion and not at all up to pork belly renditions that I was used to. Nothing to worry about for you, it hasn't been on the menu for over a year and I'm sure if it comes back it will be better then what I had. And by the way, I finished that pork belly, every bit. Small shout out to the staff, I'm the giant who's been there before and will be back again, enjoyed all your individual service. Been in the service industry and many levels of it for most of my career, hats off and big props to ya. I look forward to my next visit to Colorado and the Pullman cafe.

Without a doubt, 5 stars are warranted! Truly a great restaurant in town. A must try is the bone marrow! The Caroque Madame (sandwich) is outstanding! This has to be the most magnificent restaurant in all of Glenwood Springs. The food is outstanding! I would love to have this restaurant in the Denver area. Truly you have to try this restaurant to understand how fantastic the food is. The service is amazing. The waiter for the table next to us sat down and was shooting the breeze with the other customers. It is a place where service, and that of the consumer are number one. I look forward to going here again in the future, that is, whenever I get back to Glenwood Springs, or around the area.

After seeing the wide range of reviews I was hesitant but with some coddling from friends I jumped in. The bartenders were very knowledgeable, attendant, and helpful. The seared duck with okra and polenta was good but not extraordinary - needed something.....however...the Black Forest bread pudding with a glass of red wine was the best thing I've had in awhile. Ask for extra cherries!

This place was fantastic, a true pork-lover's Mecca. 5/5 for presentation 5/5 for variety on menu 5/5 for taste 5/5 for service 5/5 for speed (our small plates were out in less than 8 mins) We ordered: Simple Greens - salad, self-explanatory Short Rib tacos- very tasty, but kind of hard to eat as an actual taco. Pork Belly- very crispy outside while still extremely tender in the center. Pork Chop Porterhouse (special)- I've never had a pork chop this good before. All of the sides amounted to the taste of thanksgiving in your mouth. I would definitely come back if I were in Glenwood Springs. This restaurant could easily thrive back home in Chicago and could compare to some of the great culinary experiences there.

Two excellent meals here! The patio was a great spot to enjoy dinner and drinks. We had the nettle fettuccine and the top sirloin, both awesome. Steak was cooked to medium-rare perfection as asked. Potatoes were good, green goddess sauce a bit different, but tasty. House-made pasta MADE the fettuccine dish, the sauce had a nice spiciness and the pancetta incredible! Can't wait to come back! Best restaurant in Glenwood.

You know a restaurant is great when the Dr. says something like "Let's go to Glenwood Springs so we can eat at The Pullman again". It's almost a 3 hour drive from Denver and I wouldn't say it's THAT good but it's easily the best meals we have had in Glenwood. Also, a must stop on the way back from Palisade. It's a very nice meal in a causal environment. About the food... it's hard to tell you what to order because everything we have had was fantastic. They have that 'farm to table' thing going so everything is uber fresh. I'm somewhat in love with the pork belly with apple butter and crispy brussels sprouts. The combination is absolute perfection. We usually split a few plates but their sandwhiches are very filling on their own. My son usually just has a negotiation with our server on what they can make him that day... it's pretty cute how well he interacts with wait-staff these days. They also have always had a few outstanding draft beers on tap and full bar with talented staff. This is always a must for a 5-star rating.

The Pullman was a nice find on our way to Snowmass. The location is great -- it is a in the cute downtown area across from the river. I ordered the Cobb sandwich with a side of the kale salad. The sandwich consisted of turkey, bacon, avocado, and bleu cheese. Nice flavors. The kale salad was served with pine nuts and currants. The currants made the salad too sweet. It would have been better if it had a little acidity to cut the sweetness. Next time, I will try the simple salad instead of the kale salad. Another slight downfall of The Pullman was the service. Our server had too much attitude that detracted from the experience. If I pass through Glenwood Springs again, I will give the Pullman another try, but I will hope for better service.

Went there for a girls weekend after a day of pampering. We were able to just walk there from the lodge. The food was fantastic.

I am definitely coming back with him next time!

I was a solo walk in on a very busy Mother's Day Brunch. They accommodated me quickly with a very nice corner table. From the host to my server everyone was friendly and made great recommendations.

Two trips to Glenwood Springs, two dinners at The Pullman, two enthusiastic thumbs up! The space is decidedly industrial but nicely warmed up with exposed brick and beautiful gray walls, a wood ceiling in the bar area, lots of big windows throughout, and a large open kitchen fronted by a whimsical pig statue. I'm not exactly sure what the pig is all about but I'm guessing it's some kind of tribute to the restaurant's philosophy of using only fresh, local, in-season ingredients. During our most recent visit, I began the meal with the night's special tomato soup with candied almonds. The soup's puree texture and delicious smoky flavor was wonderfully accented by the sweet roasted almonds. The Hubs chose the roasted cauliflower salad with shishito pepper relish served on a bed of arugula. The buttery cauliflower was a great compliment to the fresh, crisp arugula and sweet peppers. For entrees, I had the hugely portioned grilled hangar steak au poivre with a cheesy cauliflower gratin. The steak was perfectly cooked and I honestly have never enjoyed cauliflower more. The Hubs had the venison pasta special with a light creamy cheese sauce. I can't remember what kind of pasta was in the dish (maybe it was gnocchi?) but it was freshly made and the venison was tender and well-seasoned. It was the perfect hearty dish for that crisp, cold night. We chatted a minute with the manager when he came by our table to make sure everything was going well. He said it's a good place to be and the owners and chef are outstanding. I definitely agree and can't wait for our next visit to Glenwood.

A really well-thought-out casual bistro. Good wine list, thoughtful and versatile menu, and even good cocktails. I absolutely loved the steak salad. a good mix of flavorful greens and sharp, spicy blue cheese dressing, with frites as a kind of crouton! hanger steak cooked to desired temp with a nice amount of char. My partner had the ricotta gnocchi and coriander creamed corn. Awfully good but not as good as my steak salad! Good service and even the kids menu was thoughtful and well designed. We're going back for lunch today.

Delicious. Such a nice alternative to the dated steakhouses and burger joints in Glenwood. The waiter was an absolute doll, very nice to the boy. Even though they have a pointed sign at the door "Your Well-Behaved Children are Welcome".....We had two appetizers (the truffled fried pigskin is so good it's stupid), wine and beer (their house red is really surprisingly good) three entrees and got out of there for just about $100..... which for the area, is a bargain. And the food is fantastic - I had a slow-roasted pork shoulder chunk nestled in a bed of creamy grits, topped with a pickled radish slaw. The waiter said it was a "deconstructed pozole", which hadn't occurred to me, but it was true! Fantastic place.

The Pullman came highly recommended from several people when I mentioned that I was traveling to Glenwood Springs. I knew I had to give it a shot. This restaurant was exceptional in every way! First of all the service was some of the best I've ever seen in a crowded restaurant. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and answered all of our questions without hesitation. We even had another staff member come over to check on us several times to see if what we ordered was up to our satisfaction. The staff was fast to get our food out...second to none. The food was amazing as well. I ordered mussels which were some of the best I have ever tasted. They came with a special kind of sausage in the broth and a rolled up pork rind on top. My girlfriend ordered the calamari salad which was also exceptional. We had duck nuggets for an appetizer which were also very good. I can't say I have ever had duck nuggets before so the second server came over to explain how they are made from the shavings off of one of their other main dishes...very interesting we thought. Overall I would say if you are in Glenwood Springs for ANY amount of time, you have to eat at The Pullman!

Unique menu items and original cocktails make this place special. It's neatly placed around the downtown area, and has a friendly and helpful staff. My boyfriend was impressed with their spicy margarita and bloody mary. Our main dishes were the duck carbonara and pierogis, both were fantastic. The sauce in each dish had flavors that made the dishes that much more enjoyable. There was a balance among each different component of the dishes that made them harmonious in themselves. The portions were also just right - not massive-sized plates with ridiculous amounts. The charm of the interior is modern but humble, fitting in with the feel of the town. We ended with simple yet satisfying dessert - Olive oil pound cake with gelato and ice cream. The dessert menu is short but all the items sound like an experience you've rarely had, if at all. I wish we could have tried them all. The snacks alone are worth it, if you're looking for a selection of food and not just one dish. Salmon melt crostini gets two thumbs up from me! They're hardy and flavorful, the bread holds up to the pile of ingredients and doesn't have that tooth-breaking kind of texture I was anticipating (thank goodness). All in all, we enjoyed our lunch and will definitely return and recommend when in town.

Since Six89 in Carbondale closed for dinner, we needed a suitable alternative for Christmas Eve. The Pullman exceeded my expectations and I hope it becomes a staple for nice meals out whenever I'm in the area. It also serves as easily one of the best restaurants in Glenwood Springs. The decor is cool with a modern-cabin feel. Along one of the walls is street art with some scrawl from a chicken about eating more pork. I listened! To start, we ordered the short rib tacos. The kimchee on it was a little strange and odiferous, but the meat was succulent and tender. I really enjoyed them as our starter. I had the pork shoulder which did not disappoint. Very good meat selections here, overall, and some interesting, creative touches for garnishes. Everyone at the table was full and happy when we finished, so job well done! This is a great spot to bring family and friends who want a relaxing and chill environment to eat some great meat and enjoy a few drinks. I wish it had been warmer out because it's nearby some intriguing restaurants/bars and it would have been nice to walk around. I'm definitely going back in the spring to check it out again.

We gave this place two chances and we were disappointed both times. First attempt, we went for dinner and the host, who made no eye contact and did not greet us, had us waiting for 10-15 minutes before telling us that it was a 30 minute wait, we left and went to Colorado Ranch House (recommend this one). The second attempt was for lunch the following day, we got drinks and an appetizer which was only okay--and waited 2 hours at least for our main courses which never came. The waiter kept promising us that the food was about to come out and we waited and waited and nothing... We even saw a large group being served before us and others too that had come in after us. We eventually left and went to another restaurant and were served in 15-20 minutes. The service at The Pullman is terrible and even at their own admission ("We made a mistake") I recommend avoiding this place until their service improves.

best bone marrow ... EVER! if I could give half stars, this place would get 4 1/2, but since I can't, i'll up it to a 5 - only because the super friendly bartender chatted with us and gave T a taster of a tequilla old fashioned while we were waiting for our table and because our waitress brittany was so fun and the service was top notch. i was completely satisfied with everything about the pullman. all our food was deeee-lish. i have to agree with the other reviewers though - the portions are a bit on the smaller side, which would be why I would give 4 1/2 stars. they were perfect for me, but not enough to satiate T's appetite. we ordered one piece of bone marrow, half a dozen oysters, lardo, and went for a second piece of bone marrow for our appetizers. as I stated above, best bone marrow ever! drenched in butter and topped with a red onion jam, all the flavors melted together. the lardo was nice and salty, with a sweet taste from the asian pears. our main dishes were the pork belly and sea scallops. both of the mashed potato sides complimented the main dishes extremely well. the pork belly could have used a little crispiness to it, but it was fall apart tender and you could taste the true flavor of the meat. the scallops were nicely cooked, but there were only three in the dish. for dessert we had the butterscotch budino which was light and airy. T loves salted caramel so this really hit the spot with him. total damage of the food including 4 vodka lemonades, 2 old fashions and a Moscow mule ... $120. this was the best experience I've had in a long time. too bad Glenwood is 3 hours away from home or i'd definitely be frequenting this place a lot.

Don't set your expectations sky high because of the great reviews! The gnocchi salad was memorable, but entrees were just decent. We were here on a busy night and the service was extremely lacking. Took way too long to place our order, get refills, and our check at the end of the meal. Overpriced as well.

The Pullman is a real treasure here in Glenwood Springs. My boyfriend and I went on a Friday and thank goodness we made a reservation because there was a bit of a wait for walk-ins. We were quickly seated by the hostess who actually may have been a manager, because she did a great job of checking in on other tables between seating people. Our waiter came by and asked if we had ever been to The Pullman. Nope, we were newbies. He explained that there were no favorite dishes and that everything on the menu was great. If we didn't like something, they'd fix it. He was right! The food was amazing. We started with the truffle pork rinds which had great seasoning and crunch. The bone marrow was a little disappointing because we were only able to get two scoops out but that's what makes bone marrow so exclusive. For our entrees we ordered the pork belly and the shoulder fillet. Both were to die for except the sauce for the fillet was too salty. Our waiter could tell something was wrong by my face so we told him and he took the plate to the back. He and the chef tried it and agreed that it wasn't good. So they comped it and we ordered the duck. I was really impressed with how fast they took care of the problem and the great attitude out waiter had. My boyfriend and I have both worked in the restaurant business and we know what it's like when people complain. Our waiter assured us that it was not a problem and boom- we had our new entree. The duck was so juicy and delicious my mouth is watering right now just thinking about it. They also had a great selection of wine and beer, but we focused more on the food. The Pullman = wonderful night out

Probably the best place in Glenwood Springs. My wife, daughter and I were fortunate enough to get a table without a wait, but will make reservations in the future. Atmosphere is trendy, but not over the top. Could have done without the 2 TV's on. Food and presentation was done well. I recommend ordering a "snack" since the large plate serving sizes are not incredibly large. The poutine was freaking amazing as was the steak dish. The roasted pork shoulder fell short, under seasoned and flat tasting. We will definitely return!

I had high hopes for this restaurant. I loved its Retro decor. But was let done by the terrible and slow service. Our waitress was too busy flirting with the guys sitting at the table next to us. It took 15 minutes for someone to take our drink order and another 30 after that for our food order. Then some of our food came out burnt. yes... black!

Sunday brunch as good as it gets. Food quality, preparation, and presentation is excellent; fine dining like the city. Service is fantastic as well. We interacted with several staff members for seating, serving, food running etc and everyone represents the company as I always hope my employees do.

Had top of the line food and beverage pairings. I started with some pickled deviled eggs and the balsamic pickled cherries next to the pork belly paired with the elevation sason. Next course I I enjoyed the truffle pierogis with the liesurely gentleman cocktail made with gin, muddled peaches, and amazing barrel aged bitters. The final course I chose the Colorado pan seared bass with roasted corn and a maple gastrique paired the the telluride brown ale. Great dinner and environment.

To preface: We've been to this restaurant twice prior to tonight. First time was fantastic; the service, ambience, food, and cocktails were amazing. Second time the server was extremely knowledgeable and the ambience was still great but the food a little disappointing. This last time was extremely disappointing in every aspect. Review: Our greeting was rude and they were not helpful when we mentioned we wanted a seat at the bar. Our server then walked up and said, "Ummm... Soo... Ummm drinks?" This is verbatim. No name, no hello, no how are you. When we had questions or wanted recommendations, our server was either non-responsive, uninformed, or simply regurgitated what the menu said. I won't bore you with details... The food was awful... Didn't even eat half. Worst part of the experience was when one dish was slammed down rudely, seemingly angrily, loudly, and with out a word from the food runner. Not sure that we'll be coming back. Too bad, as we planned this trip to Glenwood with the Pullman in mind, even planning to eat there multiple times. We planned on staying longer, eating more, and drinking more but got out as quickly as possible and only ordered two snacks and one salad before deciding we were no longer interested. Side note: Previously, we were told the menu was inspired by season and locality. It seemed autumn inspired to me... It's March 23rd. Also, I would like to mention we have been servers for at least 8-10 years each, we are usually very forgiving of service and food but this was so terrible we felt cheated and it left a bad taste in our mouths. Literally and figuratively.

One of the best meals of our lives. It was SO good - from the artichokes and pork rinds to the gnocchi salad, crab cake and turkey special. We loved it all, worth every penny and awesome service. It is SO amazing to get great service AND food - usually it is just one or the other. I think we are going back for lunch tomorrow - mmmmmmmmmmmm. Do NOT miss this place!

This place was great! What a nifty find in Glenwood! Our service was top notch, the atmosphere seemed almost Napa-like, and the food was really delicious! I ordered the chicken with gnocchi & beets and devoured each bite of it. It was so amazing! The hubs ordered the ribeye special with squash blossoms, but then just missed out on ordering the last one. So the server politely asked if he would like something else instead, which turned out to be the other steak option on the menu instead. Squash blossom included! How nice is that to add a blossom? The hubs was quite happy with his order, despite the special being out. All he really wanted was the blossom anyway. The cocktails were great too! Overall, a fabulous experience and a great newer addition to Glenwood Springs!

Yummy, yum-yum!! Need I say more? A *must stop* whenever we are in Glenwood Springs!! Everything we have ever tried has been super tasty, unique, and fairly priced. Now, if only Harman's in Denver could maintain the quality and diversity of the Pullman menu, I'd be in 7th-foodie-heaven!!

This is a very good restaurant that inspires confidence. Sufficient confidence that I ordered oysters from Washington State and loved them and survived to tell the tale.I also had trout and some first rate beer.Kudos to our charming , funny waiter ,Eric. This a place you want to go to in a town that has a lot of restaurants.

Had a burger and a salad and it was okay. The service however was horrific. It took 10 minutes for me to be acknowledged that I had arrived. It also took over an hour for me to be initially served until time I left and I was the only person in my party. Very very very disappointed in the service, and I spoke to the manager about it and he did nothing to attempt to rectify it I would not recommend this place to anyone

Kristi S.
I had two AMAZING meals here in July and one ok meal here last Friday. Based on July - 5 stars, based on Friday night - 3 stars. The difference was in the server. The poor guy seemed very new, frazzled and didn't know much about the menu or the wine list. I had to ask for a desert menu as he was ready to bring the check. It was a bit disappointing given our meals in July were outstanding and last Friday my steak was only warm-ish. Everyone has an off day. Overall, a gem of a restaurant in Glenwood Springs. Hopefully the new guy will get some more training. I would give them another shot.

We are presently on a vacation in Glennwood and have tried twice to eat at The Pullman only to be turned away by the HORRIBLE service from the hostess. Between the answering of phones while talking to us, texting on her cell phone, or walking away from us in mid sentence - she is costing this restaurant business. Message to the management: we have tried to enjoy a meal two nights in a row at your restaurant. Your hostess is either over worked and needs help or she needs to find work elsewhere. We are not the only people that have left because of her. We would love to think there is hope for this restaurant but could not get past the staff at the door. Stay away for now.

First recommendation: reservations on a weekend night! We called on a Saturday afternoon and was offered only 5pm or 830pm for dinner slots for a party of 8. Maybe if we were a smaller party, the time slots would have been more abundant. The service at the Pullman was excellent. For a party of 8, I don't think I had to wait for a server to come by and check on drinks, food, etc. The food here is fantastic! I ordered house made kimchee (random, but good) and their shoulder loin. All I can say is the food is great. The food came out relatively quick too. The atmosphere is great for date night or dinner with friends.

I like where this place is going, but nothing fully delivered. Everything on the menu looks super creative and interesting, especially for being in Glenwood Springs. Our large table ordered just about all the starters and a lot of the entrees. Plating was nice but immediately I noticed some things going wrong. Like the truffled pigs ears tasted like tar and the bone marrow was a tiny tiny portion and didn't seem complete. I ordered five different cocktails; i sent one back, didn't drink another and thoroughly enjoyed the bacon infused one. One out of five is kind of sad. My duck meatloaf was good but I couldn't really tell it was duck. Again, it was good, but nothing special. I guess I enjoyed having at least something creative in a small mountain town that harbors walmart, but I wish they hit the mark more precisely.

Pulling Me Back A year after my first trip to Glenwood Springs, I couldn't wait to have dinner again at The Pullman. In fact, I was so excited that I skipped most of the filling (free!) happy hour fare at a conference networking event down the street, in favor of readying my stomach for what The Pullman would have to offer. My friend and I arrived to the restaurant around 9:00 and despite a mostly full house, the hostess was able to quickly seat us at a nice elevated two top near the window. The Pullman has the fortunate problem of having too many items on the menu that sound delicious. Item after item seems to fill a niche--comfort food, avant garde or just plain simple. I like this approach because it seems less like each dish is a recycled version of the last, yet everything seems to hang together in a locavore sort of way. I was incredibly pleased to see my favorite type of white wine on the list, a Gruner, and my friend ordered a boozy delicacy that tasted just like an orange creamcicle. Holy holy was it good and a great start to an evening at a pretty perfect restaurant. After much deliberation I went with the shrimp bisque and the calamari salad from the large salad portion of the menu. Both were outstanding and neither contained an overpowering fish taste or scent. What impresses me most is that the chef knows what flavors to pair with each dish, making even basic dishes appear unique. My dining companion went with the filet, which has a 'herbalicious' chimichurri on top that takes the steak to dreamy levels. We couldn't help ourselves, so we decided to try the sous chef's new gingerbread ice cream. I'm glad we went with two scoops because we would have likely been sad to only split one between us. Again, the flavor achieved perfection. Gingerbread can be bitter and overpowering, but he managed to find the literal sweet spot. The Pullman is one of those restaurants I wish was a stones throw away from my house, so I can show up once a week and just order every item on the menu. Alas, all I can do is hope to find myself back in Glenwood Springs so that I can enjoy another evening of culinary delight.

Stopped here on Sunday evening of a Sat-Mon Glenwood Springs visit. Wish I had tried this place sooner. Had a fantastic meal, the combinations of flavors, things that I hadn't experienced before. A fantastic meal for two, with a nice red, dessert; under $100 prior to the gratuity. A great meal, excellent service. Nothing to complain about. I'll come back to Glenwood just to dine here again.

Thanks To Pullman for a great meal! Atmosphere was very warm inviting and trendy--not easy to pull off. Menu was creative with lots (almost too many!) options. We had the appetizer special of tator tots with white cheddar with a curry sauce...they were awesome with lot of flavor. My dad had the steak salad, which was a nice size, well dressed with lots of flavor. I had the orecchiette with Parmesan broth...good dish--maybe needed a little more seasoning. Desserts were great...especially the cinnamon roll bread pudding. Nice affordable wine list...the house wine was fabulous! Service was really outstanding...lots of attentive staff who were knowledgeable on the menu and recommended great choices. Highly recommend!

The wifey and I have been to the Pullman twice now, the last two times we've visited Glenwood. The first time we happened to stumble in as we were making our way to Glenwood Brewing...I believe it had only been open for a few months at that time, and we were blown away by the quality of the experience...everything we ate and drank was delicious (Rib Eye and Habanero Margarita anyone?) and the service was impeccable to boot. The next time around we made reservations in advance, and we're glad we did! Some folks walking in ahead of us were told they'd have to wait at least an hour to get a table...popular joint, and its obvious why! Again we were impressed by our entrees, she had roasted chicken with gnocchi and I had hanger steak with roasted potatoes ..we shared a beet salad to start, and there was plenty of tasty, crusty bread supplied. Cocktails were excellent again as well (though I was a little sad they didn't have the spicy option from the previous visit) and we sampled their house red wine as well, which was reasonably priced at $3 per half-glass. Service this time around was not quite as excellent, tending towards the aloof side...aloofness vs overbearingness is definitely a hard thing to balance, and didn't seem quite as balanced this time, but oh well, like I said they were also really busy. Again I have to recommend the Pullman and say that I'll be back next time I'm in town.
seriously???? way over priced, underportioned, lousy service......

Wow what an excellent experience I found the Pullman by luck during a recent visit to Glenwood Springs and boy am I glad I did. The food was great, the service was excellent and the beer my waiter recommended was a perfect compliment to my meal. The atmosphere is really welcoming and comfortable and I thought the meals were not only great tasting but also a great value. I would highly recommend the Pullman, I can't wait to return

So was in the neighborhood, they were the only restaurant on the strip to take reservations, that's common sense in a tourist area, i don't know what all those other owners are thinking?? Anyways, got there at 7:45 packed but they got us our table!! lovely high top by the window! Our server was Jon. Now im very particular on judging people on their personal hygiene, since im a hair stylist and a server as well. Jon had a beard, BUT very well maintained and his appearance was great. He was so knowledgeable on the food they have, not just their specials everything!! we had gotten the creamy crab dip as an app.....YUM. I got the sirloin and substituted my side for smoked mashed potatoes holly delicious!!! best mashed potatoes ive had! They also cut my sirloin which i have never seen before and that was great since, we all know sirloin doesn't stop cooking.... It was perfect. My boyfriend got pork belly! YUCK! lol he loved it i just don't eat pork. He said it was the best pork, hes ever had. Jon was super attentive although he was super busy. Great over all experience. Thanks for making my birthday dinner the best!! And we will be going to your other location in cherry creek very soon!!

Excellent service from the moment we walked in with all of our luggage. My 10 year old and 13 year old daughters both had the Mac & Cheese which came in a just right portion to leave room for dessert. They devoured it. The Fair Lady / Pick Eater ordered the Steak Salad which was carefully prepared as she requested. Happy wife, happy life. I had the grilled Flat Iron with Blue Cheese Augratin. Excellent start to finish. Great selection of mixed drinks, local brews and wine list. Recommended.

The food here is strange and awkward. I ordered French fries that had what seemed like coconut shavings on them, not good at all! I ordered a burger which seemed like it was placed between a biscuit, and nothing else. The meat was too thick and lacked flavor. I stopped by here for lunch after going to the hot springs because of all the good reviews. I should have just bought a sandwich at the gas station or something. High prices for very awkward food. I don't know who created the menu, but simple things like burgers and fries don't really need anything complicated, such as coconut shavings on French fries.

Wow, having been in the States on a three week holiday, this was by far the best meal we have eaten. My boyfriend and I had no reservations but it was given top place on yelp so we gave it a try. We were lucky as they had space. What a lovely dining room, large windows, and hardwood floors, we admired the old style light bulbs, love the decor. Anyway back to the food. For drinks I'd a beer and my boyfriend was made a mojito although not on the menu. We were hungry-ish, so shared a starters of pork belly with caramelised peaches with rhubarb, scrumptious. For mains my boyfriend had pan roasted salmon with smoked potato mash and green beans, his verdict was nommage, our term for food heaven! We love salmon and it was the yummiest he said he had in a long while. I opted for the grilled steak salad. It came with a sprinkling of blue cheese and crunchy bacon bits. Delicious. It also came with a side of a bean ragut, they kindly brought it after I requested it to replace the fries. To end this yummy meal, we shared a tart cherry crisp. Lastly, a heads up to the staff of this restaurant who were so courteous and friendly. This is a fine spot that deserves your custom.
This is the best restaurant in Glenwood Springs! The menu is very creative. I can't say enough how delicious it is. I recommend you try something you normally wouldn't order and expect to be delighted. Some of my all time favorites here are Bone Marrow appetizer (it may not be on menu anymore), Kale Salad, Mac & Cheese small dish and Bacon/Maple Ice Cream. Nothing here falls of the Cisco truck and the Chef pairs up amazing flavors. One caveat... my kids don't love it as much as I do (they would rather eat more standard fare) and if you don't like to get a little adventurous, The Pullman may not be for you! But me, I like the adventure!! I also try to get a reservation (usually only early or late, they don't offer too many) if I can.

Paul D.
Fancy, fancy fancy. Quite the culinary adventure, if you're into that kind of thing. Nothing is normal here, everything has some special gourmet twist. Oh well, I had the hangar steak which was amazing, and my wife had the roasted chicken, which was scary undercooked, and MIGHT have given her mild food poisoning. They initially said it was pink due to the brine they marinated it in, but gladly cooked it more, and even took it off our bill. For a nice night out in Glenwood, I would definitely go back.

Service is impeccable and they are very knowledgeable of the menu. It is a foodie dream in Glenwood Springs. I would recommend trying a sampler of things, which could get pricey but portions are small. Next time I am in Glenwood, I will be stopping by again for more taste off their eclectic menu.

Can a menu be too enticing? If there is such a thing, the Pullman has it. We had to send away our server three times before ordering because every single thing on it looks so utterly delicious. A few examples: Butternut squash agnolotti (sort of like ravioli apparently) with mushrooms and smoked bacon; Lamb meatballs with feta gnudi (like gnocchi but made with ricotta) and sun-dried tomato gremolata (a zesty paste made with lemon and parsley); autumn vegetable cianfotta (hearty stew) with parmesan broth, basil pesto and grilled bread slices; pan seared diver scallops with butternut squash risotto, bacon and bourbon maple gastrique. Plus there was duck meatloaf, hanger steak and Colorado lamb shoulder. I am not sure I have ever seen a menu so full of things I wanted to eat. I went for the truffle potato pierogis with caramelized onion and scallion creme fraiche. It was amazing. Each of these perfect potato pockets were full of a wickedly delicious caramelized onion paired with specks of decadent truffle served with truffle broth and a dollop of fresh creme. My girlfriend opted for a Colorado grass-fed beef burger and it was one of the best burgers she or I have ever tasted (She was kind enough to give me a bite). The burger was made from high quality ground steak and had a wonderful fatty, savory consistency. It was served with a some sweet caramelized onions and a salty flavorful cheddar that melted into the burger. The fries on the side were also quite good, fried almost tempura style with shaved Parmesan. After such an incredible meal, we knew he had to see what this place could do for dessert. We chose a pumpkin bread pudding with maple ice cream and pumpkin seed brittle. It was amazing. The bread stood up by itself with a dollop of creme anglaise. On the other side was the ice cream and on both was the salty/crunchy pumpkin brittle. The combination of all four was one of the single greatest bites of food I've ever had. It was sweet. It was savory. It was soft. It was crunchy. It was salty. It all went together so well. And to top it off the service was really great despite us being somewhat indecisive. The server capably defined the menu's glossary of unfamiliar food terms. The prices at the Pullman we're another great surprise with everything on the menu $20 and under. My girlfriend and I had dinner and dessert for only $33. A similar restaurant in Denver would easily have the bill above $45 or $50. The restaurant wasn't at all fussy or fancy. You could eat dinner in a t-shirt and barely dried swim trunks and they wouldn't care. They simply let the food make it a fine-dining experience. The Pullman was just a fantastic restaurant that single-handedly elevates the culinary scene of Glenwood Springs. No longer are the springs or the scenery the main attraction for me...The Pullman pulls me back into town.

The calimari with citrus aioli was amazing. -as was the warm spinach and mushroom salad. The apple crisp, not so much- I felt that they went too heavy on the spices, and it overpowered the apples. The homemade sage ice cream was really good though. Best of all, the service was outstanding. Oh- you have to try the potine- French fries and gravy on steroids! And wash it down with a basil julep!

On this one, we didn't have a clue of where to go and we used the Yelp app and just trusted. I can honestly say, I wouldn't have picked this place if I was on my own because Juicy Lucy and something called Rib City was also in walking distance. Its a little tricky to get to, because its under the bridge that crosses the river and you have to circle around to get down to 7th. But I would strongly recommend that you do. Its pretty obvious that people in the know go here and I can only imagine what this place is like when the tourists pack it in too. Even if this restaurant wasn't in tourist trap central that is Glenwood Springs, this is a great restaurant. Everything on the menu looked fantastic. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich and my wife had a kale salad and turkey cobb. Both sandwiches and the salad were original takes on classic sandwiches that really worked. Original, flavorful, and fresh would be the words I would use. Heck, I'm pretty sure they made their own ketchup too. I have to say, I would definitely go here again and again, any time I go to Glenwood Springs.

The Pullman is a strong 4 star restaurant for sure. The prices are reasonable. The selection on the menu was a perfect blend of American classics with some more adventurous choices thrown in. The service is impeccable yet casual. I was really blown away by this place. I used to live in Aspen and no other restaurant in the valley combines the elements of value and quality period. And only a handful of restaurants at best are better. If you are looking for dinner down valley this has to be your first choice.

Finally got around to trying The Pullman this weekend while a friend was in town visiting. This place is great! Our food was all awesome - we had the lamb meatballs and feta gnudi, the pulled pork and cheddar grits and the truffled pea agnolotti. And for dessert, my friend ordered the strawberry rhubarb cobbler with basil ice cream. YUM. The service was a tiny bit slow, but I'll let that slide the first time around - especially because the food was so good. The one odd thing we encountered was that we had to wait quite awhile for menus after we were seated. The manager explained why, but his rationale didn't quite make sense to me. Next time I'm in Glenwood Springs, I'll make an effort to visit The Pullman again.

Lots of good energy here with diverse patrons. The asian appetizer was yum! Good selection of draft beers. Staff is well trained with fast service. The shrimp entree as well as the bolognese were delicious. Dine on the outdoor patio, sit at the bar or be seated at a cozy table by the window.

Stopped here on our way to Denver. This place does a great job of offering delicious and unique dishes. The atmosphere is great and we enjoyed ourselves. I would skip the Bone Marrow though. I tried it because of all the hype on the Food Network. Everything else was great.

Best meal and experience of 2013, hands down. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the restaurant scene was perfect. My boyfriend and I came in for a late Sunday night dinner. We were quickly and kindly whisked away to our tables. The restaurant was well-lit, clean, and had a warm vibe. Our server, Tiffany, quickly introduced herself and she was the best server I've had all year. Throughout the whole night she was attentive (but not over-bearingly so), provided recommendations, chatted us up when we wanted to be chatted up and left us alone when we wanted to be alone. Food was brought out and drinks were poured quickly. As I mentioned, the meal too was the best of 2013. I had a special, a 10oz pork on the bone with a bed of bacon (!!) kale and a side of banana bread spread on the bottom. Amazing. My boyfriend had the duck and he said it was excellent as well. We also had the chips with blue cheese (very good) and 2 oysters on the half shell (excellent). They rotate their menus every 6 weeks and it's an interesting mix of meals for nearly everyone. Everything from bone marrow to basic american fare. Good beer list, but if I HAD to find a negative, I wish there were more beers on tap. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it!

Tried the pullman by rec of an staffer at village smittys in carbondale...not dissappointed! Served at bar as there was a 45 min wait, although tables still empty while we ate at bar the entire time? Our bar waiter was an expert re: menu suggestions were right on. We started with pork rinds with truffle oil (although this was almost a deterant as truffle oil is a no no in culinary circles---if you like to watch chopped) they were crispy airy and delicious. Next oysters from pugent sound WA interesting small and tangy and pricey $2.50 per oyster. Duck version of Pho was very good. Duck nuggets with rhubarb catsup my favorite. Salmon grilled perfectly melts in your mouth laid nicely over smoked pureed potatoes. Dessert equally worth it ...we split all our plates which made dessert a possibility. $75 without tip for 2 without alcohol. Great birthday dinner. Will visit if ever back in Glenwood

So, at the prompting of the manager I went back and gave The Pullman another pull. Once again the service was friendly, attentive and engaging. (This was true on my prior visit, despite the 'problem') Food was like art. You almost feel bad taking the first bite - but it tastes so good... Pork watermelon appetizer was delicious, I could have eaten two more This time I went for steak. Still a little chicken of the chicken. The steak was very good but - when cooked - the chicken still was better. Everyone was so nice and the atmosphere was so welcoming that I have to give 5* This should be a treat during any stay in Glenwood Springs

This is a cool, trendy place. The energy was very up, even for off season. They also are following the trend of very interesting foods. I had a chicken dish that had a mustard sauce. It was so strong that I smelled all next day of the sauce. The brussel sprouts were also very strong in vinegar. The portions are also very modest. We probably will not return when we are back in the area.

This review for lunch only. More formal than the Grind down the street for lunch, with more seating, too, the Pullman serves a terrific lunch, albeit a little pricey. You get what you pay for, though. In a cool space that was formerly a dance club for the younger crowd is The Pullman. Exposed brick walls, an open kitchen and a trendy feel make this restaurant THE new place to dine while in Glenwood Springs. Wait staff are friendly, fairly knowledgeable and attentive, though our server today had not tried the soup special, the Palisades Peach Gazpacho. "I don't like cold soup," says she. Honey, you gotta try the food to be a foodie! The burger was outstanding. Perfectly imperfect in its handmade construction, cooked precisely and topped with wonderful caramelized onions and cheddar cheese. Mmmm! The bun was an oversized English muffin which was exactly the right size for the patty and actually the right wrap choice for this haute cuisine burger. A simple salad comes with the dish consisting of field greens tossed with a light vinaigrette. You may sub fries or cole slaw and chips for the salad. Chef done good. $12. Equally impressive was the Cobb sandwich, turkey, bacon, avocado and blue cheese on a nice baguette. The slaw is delightful, and the house made potato chips were the best I have had in some time. Dark and flavorful, the chips are a reason on their own to come to The Pullman. $11. I shoulda known the food would be outstanding. When we walked in I ordered an iced tea. In contrast to the awful southern sweet tea I had in Nashville recently these Colorado folk could teach those southerners how to make proper tea. Iced tea is simple. So it is that if a restaurant's iced tea is lousy you can usually bet the food will be terrible, too. Nice job on the tea, Pullman. So think really good, but be prepared to open the wallet. TP is def worth a visit if you are in the Glenwood Springs, Aspen, Eagle, and Rifle area. I look forward to providing a dinner review soon!

Great food, great atmosphere, diamond find in a little town. We went to the Pullman on the recommendation of a friend, and we were happy for it. The prices were palatable, the selection was enviable, the flavor combinations were well chosen... what's more to want?

This place is a total win. The food is amazing. The cocktails, also amazing. And the dessert, too, was (you guessed it) amazing. My parents took me to this place for a belated birthday dinner, and nothing we ordered wasn't great. The roasted chicken was about as good as roasted chicken gets; the scallops were cooked perfectly, too. The cocktails are creative and fun. The "push pop" was like a perfect,grown-up creamsicle in drink form. (Don't judge me; it was my birthday!) Also, the bread pudding for dessert. Delish. Service was good. Atmosphere was on the nice side of casual. Totally worth the cost!

This is probably as trendy as it gets in the area. My party of 6 was 30 minutes early for our reservation, so we decided to hang out around the bar. I was looking for Guiness but that's not available, so the bartender suggested Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro. It's from Colorado and I have a thing for local brews. It tastes very similar to Guiness, if not, better! Before I finished my first beer, our table was ready. We were seated right in the middle of the open area of the stylish (almost NYC style) restaurant. The waiter promptly handed us our menus, filled our waters, and told us about the specials for the day. All of which sounded appetizing. We ordered short rib tacos, mac and cheese, duck meat made into a pate like texture, deviled eggs, and more beer for starters. I ordered the fish special for my entree, grouper w/ kale and mashed sweet potatoes. The beer and apps came out promptly, even though we weren't served any of the bread that was being cut at the huge cutting board right next to us. The deviled eggs were delicious, bacon-y, and rich. The duck was part of the specials, it dark meat duck cooked in its own fat until a pate like texture is formed. It was very tasty and went well with the arugula on the plate. Mac and cheese had a very good combination of cheese and topping. My favorite appetizer was the short rib tacos. It was topped with a light kim chi (real kim chi is very pungent) that added a nice crunch and spice to the tender short ribs. The fish special was pan seared grouper. The flaky white fish was served on top of kale with bacon mixed in. At the very bottom of the pile is some mashed sweet potato. I was a little disappointing at the main course since all of the prior dishes were amazing. The grouper itself was very good. Cooked to the right temperature, moist, flavorful. The kale that was below it didn't really work with the dish. It was a little too sharp and too salty. I think spinach would have worked better. The mashed sweet potato decent, tasted as it should. All of the other entrees at the table looked delicious, especially the mussels and frites. After a long 20 minute wait after ordering dessert (longer than we had waited for our entrees), I received my Pumpkin Bread Pudding. It was worth the wait and putting me over my 'full' threshold. I tried my friend's cereal milk dessert and it was amazing. This was a great dinner after a few hours in the hot springs. Beware the price of the 'specials' as they do not tell you off the bat and can charge whatever they like. Their most expensive entree on the menu is $20. But my grouper was $24, which I wouldn't pay for had I known the quality and price. This was a great experience nonetheless and I can't wait to go back in a month!!

I stopped by this restaurant because the brewery nearby was too busy and I didn't want to wait. It was a lucky decision. The interior space of the restaurant is beautiful and the food is incredible. It's as gourmet as one would find in much larger towns but at Glenwood Springs prices. This should definitely be a stop for any hungry travelers on I-70.

Ann W.
The ambiance was cool in a town that is decidedly not, so this was by far the best option of all the restaurants to choose from. The cucumber vodka with mint cocktail was fantastic. The gnocci salad amazing. By the time I got my salmon, I was full, but ate it anyway because it was very good, too. Our server Joy was great. Only disappointment was that as soon as we said we were not ordering any dessert/more drinks, we were completely ignored, even though we were still finishing our previously ordered drinks. But, that is a fairly small complaint. This place was great.

We were in Glenwood Springs for our Anniversary and found this gem. Our waiter was fabulous and we made a reservation on a Saturday and walked right in to a great table. I had the truffle potato pierogi, and they were fantastic. Great find!

Came here with my boyfriend during vacation in Glenwood. Cocktails - excellent. Bf's burger was good- though he said he would have enjoyed lettuce /tomato with it. I had the eggplant cannelloni - I would not recommend this dish. The risotto was more like sticky rice and the whole thing was bland. Perhaps this isn't the best spot for vegetarians.

Day S.
Our orders were messed up for every single course including drinks. Our waitress wasn't really on top of things and was too slow paced and laid back which made me question her sobriety. Beer list wasn't anything special. Wine list was mediocre to generic. The risotto my girlfriend ordered was underdone and not edible. I think the items on their menu sound really for people who consider themselves a "foodie". The problem with these items is most of them look great on paper but once you are served the disappointment sets in.

The food is way overpriced! The server was very attentive - but that still didn't make up for the price I paid for so little food. I had eaten in other restaurants in the area and their prices were in line for both the quality as well as the quantity of their offerings.

Great place! Found The Pullman on Yelp and decided to stop here for lunch after seeing their terrific menu on their website. The Roasted Bone Marrow was outstanding! Not many restaurants have it. I loved that they gave me a spoon so I could enjoy every bite! We really enjoyed the way their menu was laid out from small salads to large salads and from small to large plates. They have sandwiches too and a good variety of microbrews. We had the mussels and polished them off clear to the bottom of the bowl. I overheard one of the waitstaff say that they change their menu selections quite often. It's nice to know they're keeping their dishes fresh!

Great food, service and view looking right out to the mountains and Colorado river. We had the roast beef sandwich on fresh baked bread which is grilled. The sandwich has a bit to it but nothing a nice cold beer could nor cure. Definitely will come back next time we pass through.

Morgan H.
Wow! This place is great and exceeded our expectations!!! From start to finish our experience was fantastic! We started with the burrata. For the main course we had the duck meat balls, braised rabbit and the pork belly. The duck meat balls were delicious!! Our kids shared this dish and ate all of it!! It is very flavorful! The braised rabbit was disappointing. I think the broth took away from it. This was least favorite of our entire meal. The pork belly was rich and delicious!! The Flavors came together perfectly. We will definitely look forward to coming back on our next trip! The prices are great too!!!

This was my third time at Pullman 8-11-13. I had a rabbit and pasta dish. I felt there was too much meat (6-7oz.) for the small amount of pasta( 1/4c). The chanterelle mushrooms were tasteless. My husband had shrimp and grits, we both agreed the grits were too cheesy. My daughter enjoyed her steak salad. My other child enjoyed a burger. I had a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc and an ice tea (bitter). You need to remove the tea bags after brewing to avoid that. The hostess was nice. Our waitress was good. My first time here was a four star in taste and service, the past two are three stars. I'm not excited about it anymore .

Rick and his staff at The Pullman did a fanstastic job! We started out with roasted marrow, and then I had the roasted bass. All the food, as much as is possible, is locally sourced. What I really appreciated was the way ALL the staff worked together. I really know it's a good place when the manager is out there helping with the tabels and not standing idly by. Well done! Our server, Marj, took good care of us. Well done all!

Not a good place to eat, first thing I noticed was the grease on the front door when we walked in after that just went down hill.. server forgot abut us then finally we received our food and it looked pretty however the salmon I ordered had no flavor best was the mashed patatos and green beans were good, my wife's food duck meatloaf was ok till we got back to the room and she got sick - GREAT !! - what a nice beginning to our NOW short weekend. Sorry guys you failed to get a good grade.

Love love LOVE this place! After reading countless Yelp reviews, this was a must visit stop on our trip. We weren't disappointed. Between the watermelon and pork appetizer, the peach gazpacho, the lamb meatballs, and the carrot cake beignets, we found ourselves a fabulous meal. Everything was executed wonderfully and the chef clearly wasn't afraid to experiment. I think the most impressive thing I tried from the menu was their Nutella bread pudding with bacon ice cream - quite gutsy for a dessert (and it worked, too!).

Just ate here and we may go back tomorrow! I was amazed to find a restaurant like this here. We ordered the house chips and the pork rinds to start. My kids loved them all. The bread was pretty yummy too. Dinner: - the mussels (my 11 year old) he loved the sauce and the fries that came with. He never shared so I never tried them. He ate every bit and cleaned the sauce with his bread. -Kids pasta and side salad: (my 3 year old) I do not know how any kid could go way hungry with the huge portion size of this. Needless to say she did not finish. It was adult sized. -Kids chicken fingers and mashed potatoes (my 9 year old) he is a very light eater so he tends to order from the kids menu. The potatoes we so good (he shared) He couldn't finish this meal but he ate all the pork rinds so maybe that's why. -Truffled perougies (sp?) my husband loved these. They were very rich. He shared too. The truffle taste was perfect. -Pork belly and grits: (me!) insanely good and I thought the price was outstanding. At home (San Diego) this would cost double. It was cooked perfectly and the accompanying sauce was flavorful. I licked my plate with my fingers a little. -Dessert: flour less chocolate cake with strawberry gelato. Good. Especially the gelato. Kids had ice cream off the kids menu and it was great, no odd tastes at all. Service was nice, happy, and friendly and when my 3 year old broke her glass on the floor they were very sweet and funny about it. Loved that. All in all I loved this place. The price was amazing compared to larger cities and that pork belly is almost worth a drive back from Southern California. We have one more night in town, we may be back.

Got off the train in Glenwood Springs and had some time to kill. Checked my phone for a place to eat and saw this as the top rated yelp place. Came in and noticed it wasn't the usually place you'd find in a small mountain town. It looked more like a place that you'd find in a trendy part of LA. i ordered the grilled cheese with short rib meat and my GF got the gnocchi Salad. Both things were just amazing. We also ordered the lemonade which tasted fresh and yummy. Service was great food was great. Cant wait to go again.

This was our first time at the this restaurant and it was awesome. A food lover's restaurant. Not run-of-the-mill fare. We went on a Thurs. night (6:15) and did not have a wait. There were many choices, as well as, sizes of dishes (though we did not view the kids' menu) for different appetite levels. We started w/appetizers of Marinated Olives (they have the pits-be careful) and the Peanut Kimchi (kind of like an Asian cole slaw.) The Kimchi was a nice, light appetizer, and a little spicy. Our entrees were the Roasted Chicken and Crisp Pork Belly. WOW!! Savory Flavors Galore! Both were delicious. The Pork Belly is from the Small Plate selection so I paired it with the Mac-n-Cheese. The chicken is from the Large Plate selection and was set on top of a medley of asparagus, baby potatoes (or new potatoes) and bacon (maybe a quarter of a chicken.) Dessert: I believe there were 5 or 6 items to choose from. We could not decide on one so we picked the Nutella Bread Pudding w/ bacon caramel toffee, blueberry preserves and rum caramel and the Salted Chocolate Pie w/peanut butter crunch crust & peanut butter anglaise. Both were delicious but the Nutella one was my favorite. The presentation of the meals also added to the experience too. The Pork and Chocolate Pie dishes were served on slate slabs. The couple at the table next to us couldn't take their eyes off of our desserts and asked what we ordered. They proceded to tell us that The Pullman was mentioned in Esquire Magazine as one of the Top Restaurants in the U.S. For 2011. They also said that the Chef-Owner's other restaurants in Carbondale, CO (just down the road...towards Aspen) called Six89 and Phat Thai were very good too. This is our new favorite place in Glenwood Springs.

Stopped in for NYE dinner 2012. What a great choice!!! ** Cocktails - A fine selection and something for everyone. My favorite was their version of the Moscow mule. Delicious! My GF had a great whisky drink that came with one HUGE ice cube. Liked that little touch. ** Dinner - We started with a 1/2 dozen oysters which had a champagne foam. From there we moved to share the gnocchi salad. A MUST every time you go here. Flavors were just popping. After we cleaned that plate dry, we shared the pork belly. A little small but still flavorful. And we ended our meal with the black mussels. Make sure you order an extra bread basket cause you will want to soak up all that great sauce. Glenwood Springs is a small little spot but this restaurant is a hidden gem in Colorado. If you are hitting the hot springs, make sure you stop in.

Overall, we had a great dining experience. Prices are affordable for the Aspen area. We had the bone marrow, pork belly, duck breast, and fried artichokes. The onion jam that accompanied the bone marrow was a little too sweet and overpowering for my taste. Everything else was delicious. Would definitely get the pork belly and duck breast again. Fried artichoke was good, but nothing special. We've also been to Harmon's in Denver, and I think The Pullman had better food.

This restaurant was one of the main highlights of our mini honeymoon that we took in Glenwood. First of all, the place is adorable. Think warehouse/loft like area with quite a bit more class. Add to that the fact that they support local farmers and sustainable practices, and we were hooked. Our amazing wait person Raquel was incredibly friendly and adept, and made our experience even more fabulous. We started with the Sweet Potato soup with curry foam. AMAZING. It was delicious, and combined with the house made bread? To die for! Following that, we shared the Gnocchi salad. Yes, that is correct; gnocchi IN a salad. This dish was likely the best single dish I have eaten all year, and that's saying a lot, since I eat a lot. I smelled the truffle oil and mushrooms as it left the kitchen, and every bite was literally heavenly. Make sure you get this; otherwise, your life will never be complete. Raquel then let us know that since everything was literally made to order, the chef was squishing the tomatoes four our eggplant cannelloni, and it would right out. Stuffed with mushroom risotto, it was delicious, although our least favorite of the 4 courses. Still very tasty and perfect for a nice, light lunch. We finished with the pumpkin cheese cake with pumpkin seed crust. Not exactly what we expected for cheese cake, but beyond amazing taste sensations and textures. I would drive the 3 hours from Denver for the gnocchi salad alone; not to mention the rest of the delicious foods. Highly recommended!

Too bad I can't give this a zero. Avoid this place - how pretentiousness has entered our town is beyond my understanding but it has. Couple the horrendous service with below average food and weak drinks and you have a total loser of an establishment. Just say no to this place!!! We were greeted by a host (male, wearing a hat) who was incredibly rude. We arrived at 8:10pm for our 8:30pm reservation, and were curtly informed a table wasn't available - which was fine with us, we had planned on sitting at the bar for a cocktail anyway. However when the host sat a walk in, with no reservation, we inquired as to why, and we were told to "stay out of his space." I'm not even kidding. A huge bummer for Glenwood Springs. I will never return.

If you are in the area you must go to this place. Everything I tried was delicious: duck nuggets, freshly fried pork rinds, carmelized pork belly, gnocchi salad, Reuben sandwich. Mmmm. And don't forget dessert. I love this spot. I wish I had one in my hometown.

We were in Glenwood for a week. We ate at the Pullman 4 times. It is that good. We are foodies and were like addicts instantly. The ability to order several small dishes makes for such and incredible epicurean experience! And the desserts...we ordered seconds took home to our kids because they were so good. And..we typically don't let them have a lot of sugar!

Burger, salad awesome. Atmosphere loud but festive, a bit pricey. We'd go back for sure. However as the day wore on I realized that I got sick from the food. All I had was a burger and salad. So if you choose to eat here be sure your stomach can tolerate the food.

Came here after reading high reviews about this place. Traveling and thought we needed something different than fast food. Everyone has different taste and this place didn't satisfy mine or my family. All looked good and expected something more for the price. I got the BBQ sandwich. Didn't like the flavor. Though it was good to try a different taste of BBQ. Coleslaw was different than your usual. A lot of vinegar! But good. Homemade chips sucked. Not sure if they were suppose to be brown and taste burnt. Didn't feel like complaining to waiter since it took almost 15 to 20 minutes to get our food. Husband got the lamb sandwich. Not great. His stomach hurt after eating it. But again something different to try. Got two kids meals that was not worth 9.00. Kids liked it guess all that counts. As with other reviewer I agree on the kid signs everywhere. They should have a sign for adults to keep there shoes on. Lady next to me had her shoes off and sitting Indian style so all I saw while I ate was her toes and bottom of her dirty feet. I am all for comfort but come on. The cap for the water bottle was so dirty. Needs to be cleaned! But the water was good but grossed out knowing how dirty the cap was. Waiter gave us no ice for water. Again should have asked but waiter didn't return until the long waited food arrived!! There was four tables outside we really wanted to sit at. Ask the hostess and said non avail outside. Not sure if they were held or needed cleaned but as we sat inside she sat people outside. One person to a table of four. Boo on that !! Overall this is my nic picking and I did like the style and atmosphere. But won't pick this place again if traveling through this town again. Too pricey and over rated.

Flavor combinations were perfect. Traveling all over the US and dining at high quality restaurants, this was a top 5 meal of all time. Everything thing from Nitro Stout to truffle oil pork rinds, pork belly kimchee, flat iron steak, apple fritters with gingerbread ice cream, to Irish coffee, flavor combinations were spot on. Menu is changed up with different items. We didn't make reservations and there was a :25-:30 wait. They will take your name and phone number and call you when a table is available. We had a beer at the Glenwood brewing company and didn't even get half way through before they called HOLDING the table till we got there. That's service!! Axel was a phenomenal server on a very busy night. I would visit Glenwood Springs just to eat at this restaurant!!!

Love the Pullman! I will say what varies the most is their wait staff. Not everyone is friendly and down to earth. I will say in the past 9 months their staff has been top notch. I wish I could remember our last server's name who was so pleasant and attentive that when I see him again I will definitely ask to sit in his section. The Pullman can have an intimidating menu but the right server with the right attitude will put you to ease immediately. I've never had a bad meal here from the truffle pork rinds to the salads, pierogies, gnocchi, poutine or large plate options. My husband and I love their seasonal specials too. It's our favorite place for a date in our hometown.

This restaurant was amazing. There were 4 in our party, we did not have a reservation but they were able to get us in with no wait. The food was some of the best I have ever had. We had the Pork, Steak, and Pierogis. It was amazing, the chef did a great job with the recipes and the team did a great job preparing them. Bread Pudding topped of the meal. We will be back.

This place is too expensive for what you get. We came here based on the reviews while on vacation. The kids meals were $8 and everyone of my kids left hungry the portions were so small... We felt like we were in a French restaurant where the portions are expected to be small. This place billed it's self as "American", but I can honestly say it was more eclectic. $9 small portion mac and cheese and some really weird dishes and flavors. It is almost like the chef is trying too hard to be different.

The Pullman in Glenwood Springs, CO absolutely NEVER disappoints! I have been several times, and each time I've gone I have tried something I've never had. The last time it was goat tostadas. The service is excellent; the food is beyond wonderful. Definitely worth the money.

I easily just had one of the top 10 best meals I have ever eaten. The Pullman in Glenwood Springs is a place you must experience. Not only is Glenwood Springs a beautiful town, the addition of The Pullman to restaurant row makes this a must visit town. The Pullman has only been open 11 days or so, and has already made it's mark on the community. For an appetizer I had the fries, soft egg, truffle and reggiano. Separately all the ingredients are great, but once I took a bite of it all together it's was like a party in my mouth and everyone was invited. I had the Kale and Parmesan salad with pinenuts and currants. It was fresh and crisp and the champagne vinaigrette was the perfect dressing. For a main dish I had the risotto with farro, heirloom squash and chickpeas, yogurt and coriander. Needless to say it was gone in minutes. I also got dessert which I don't normally do. I had the Butterscotch Burdino and all I can say is if I could cheat on my wife with a dessert, it would be with this. So my big beef with restaurants is that they will throw some dishes on the menu for vegetarians because they don't want to get bitched at. The Pullman really thought out the vegetarian options and I don't' know if I have ever had any better. I hope I get a chance to get back to Glenwood Springs very soon.

A trendy & cool place for dinner or lunch. The only problem I have is their food isn't always "hot"...I've sent dishes back because they are cold. If they could fix this problem I would eat here more often over Juicy Lucy's (next door) but so far JL's is the winner. The servers are super friendly, they have local beers on tap and I recommend making reservations.

Every time I've been, the staff has been fantastic and the food exquisite. The seafood and steaks are top notch, and the soups are remarkable. A must when in Glenwood!

Wow a fifteen was what Anet said. We could bring our fussiest restaurant critic to The Pullman and they would be overjoyed with the Menu, the service and the food. We were just stopping for lunch and as usual yelp led us to The Pullman. I started out with some marinated olives (excellent) followed by a BLT, currently rated as The Best BLT ever. The Salad with a simple grilled chicken on top was a GREAT salad with all the right greens that would make us a real regular if we only lived or visited Glenwood Springs more often. Oh Well! If I was driving down I70 and it was anywhere near lunch or dinner, this is where I would want to be! Incredible

Best food ever in Glenwood Springs!!! I had the grass fed burger with caramelized onions and cheese. Yummy! The best was the dessert - Gingerbread ice cream with Apple pie ravioli top with salted caramel and green apple slices. If you are in Glenwood Springs for the hot springs, make sure to stop at the Pullman restaurant for a meal. You will not be disappointed!!!

Great food. Super nice staff and kid friendly! Yay! I had the fried chicken and it was dirty good. Merle had the goat something or other. He liked it, but he felt as if it wasn't a lot of food. I say that's what you get for eating goat! What I liked best is how they have a great kids menu that includes desert and they brought her food out first. Anyone that has a kid can appreciate that!

Such a great space with great food. Went for a girls weekend in glenwood and dined at the Pullman the first night. The place was hoppin but service was friendly from the front door to the table. Our waiter was so friendly and took time to chat and explain the menu. Had the poutine- don't miss this dish, very nice red wine gravy. The crispy crab cake was so light and the watermelon really complemented the dish. On to main course- highly recommend the pork belly also had the steak and a veggie stew which were great. Nice emphasis on the Veg not just an afterthought. Didn't have room for dessert because portions were ample but enjoyed the Ginny cucumber. Talked about the poutine many times and of course our cute waiter ;) ahh girls weekends!

It was nice to find this place in Glenwood Springs. We were staying in Aspen and visiting the hot springs for the day, and popped in for lunch. It was better than the places we ate at in Aspen during the same trip. Not exactly their fault, but everything I ordered was very heavy. Lots of butter and oil. My wife really liked her salad. It was kid friendly and the waiters were very nice to our two kids (1 and almost 5). I'd return again - there were a lot of interesting things on the menu.

We hit the Pullman during the week after reading great reviews and hearing from some friends that it was great. It did not disappoint. I had a very good cocktail--7th street--it was gin, grapefruit, thyme simple syrup--damn good. Good house red wine, but the real treats were the food. Had an absolutely wonderful acorn squash soup served with marshmallows-- it had some heat from black pepper, but the sweetness of the marshmallow cut it nicely. Steak salad was really good as well and the kicker was the apple ravioli with gingerbread ice cream(house made)--killed it! If you are thinking about trying it--just do it. In fact we are going back tomorrow. Service was very good as well as is the ambience.

The kimchee tacos reminded me of the famous Koje Taco in LA! I had the hangar steak and it was terrific. Wife had the Cobb sandwich and thought it was good but not great but this is my review! Our daughter gave the Mac N Cheese a big 5 out of 5. Great Place

At the time of writing, there were 74 other reviews of The Pullman and ZERO with only 1 or 2 stars. I have never seen this on Yelp. Even the critics can't be too negative about the food. My party had - the gnocchi salad: mixed greens with pan seared gnocchi, asparagus and shiitake mushrooms. The gnocchi were so parmesan-y! I loved it and could have eaten 3 plates myself. - the macaroni and cheese: mild and simple, I thought it could've used a nice burnt crust of cheese from some oven time, but my boyfriend -- connesseur of mac and cheese -- loved it. - mussels: yes. Just yes. Order them if you like moules frites at all. Maybe save some of that hot sourdough bread and dip it in the broth. It came with spicy sausage bits and cheese/herb drizzled fries. SO MANY MUSSELS! I will dream of swimming in them. - apple cobbler with sage ice cream. I wanted it because it sounded strange. Sage? Isn't that for rubbing on game? In the end, it tasted mostly like vanilla ice cream with a hint of Thanksgiving memories. It was just that subtle. Enjoy the view of the mountains and gondola. The quiet street seems almost European. Best restaurant in Glenwood Springs.

We had gone to another restaurant around the corner that had a huge wait and we were hungry hungry hungry!! The reviews on this spot were pretty good so we decided to stop in. My friends thought the prices were a bit high, but I don't mind paying a bit more for good food. The decor was amazing. I am a designer and looking at all the little embellishments that most people miss was interesting and fun. The food was great! I had the porcini rabbit, gnocchi salad, and the peach cobbler. Amazing!! Perfect portions and decent prices!!

Was so psyched to find this place thanks to Yelp! My party and I were traveling through Glenwood Springs for the night and staying at Hotel Colorado which was conveniently located right across the bridge from this restaurant, within an easy walking distance. We were graciously seated at 9:35 without any attitude or flippancy which was a great sign to start out with and something that I wish most eateries would enact. After waiting for a little too long for our server to come over and greet us, when he arrived he immediately apologized for the delay and took our order for both our food and drinks. We wanted to be polite to the kitchen and go ahead and get our food order in as soon as possible. There was some Colorado craft beer choices on the draft list including some obscure selections from Great Divide and Odell's. We got house truffled parmesan fries, the braised chicken | green onion cavatelli pasta and a local beet arugula salad. All the dishes featured local produce and local meat which elevated the food to tasting fresh and delicious. The beet salad was perfect as well as the braised chicken pasta. They were perfectly balanced and the portions were spot on. What a lovely addition to the Glenwood Springs dining scene. The Owner also has some Thai restaurants called 'Phat Thai' in Carbondale and Cherry Creek which I am now moved to try.

We had seven plates here across two hours. The service was outstanding, Rick Dufon/MGR was at the table four times ensuring service and food were tracking. He came from Portland's Restaurant/bar out of PHX - they must miss him down there. Aggressively priced wine list - everything is at/under $40 bottle. Ask for the off-list options though too Cocktails to start for the wifie and me, a bottle, and digestifs with the nutella bread pudding and bacon ice cream to finish off the night - tab = $200 unbelievable and best of all - incredible evening.

This is the best place in Glenwood Springs. You have to go here if your going to eat in this town. I don't eat pork or beef (unless it is from one of my cows, you really should know your beef) and I still had a great meal.

We were passing through Glenwood Springs & read the reviews of best food in town so decided to stop at the Pullman. Even on an off season Tuesday night, the place was full with great atmosphere. We were seated quickly & staff was very friendly. Food was excellent, and would especially recommend the pork tostada app. Menu was interesting & unique. Prices were reasonable. Only critique was guacamole seemed a little tired but it was late and we had been dining in southern California the week before. Overall would definitely recommend.

We ate here based on other reviews from Yelp and were pleasantly surprised by the creative menu and the quality of the food. We ate a late dinner, around 9 pm on a Friday night, and while they were wrapping up service we didn't feel like we were hurried or should cut our meal short. Some of the food was just 'ok:' the oysters (but I just moved from the Pacific NW, so I'm spoiled) and the sweetbread (but the hubby really liked it). The kimchee was mellow and should be more fermented, but the peanuts was a fun creative surprise. Short rib tacos were quite good. BEST = truffled pierogies. Ahhhhmazing! Desert was also delicious-- carrot cake beignets! I would highly recommend this place for a real dining treat. The rest of the menu looked great as well.

I got drawn in by the Yelp 4.5 star overall rating. I read the more negative reviews and just didn't want to believe them. But they were right and I was wrong. I booked the Pullman for my husband's 66th birthday lunch. It was a pleasant time but not what either of us were hoping, especially after just experiencing lunch at The Goat in Carbondale and Frying Pan Kitchen in Basalt. The Pullman rated a distant third. We had the crispy crab cake appetizer to share. It was pretty good -moist and flavorful even though the deep fried color had me wary. We thought we were off to a good start. That was until my husband asked me to taste his iced tea. Blech - it tasted like coffee. Our attentive, competent server acknowledged that they brewed their tea through the coffee machine. Whaaaat? She generously offered a fresh glass but the coffee taste was even stronger. He switched to water. My husband had the pastrami sandwich special. It was okay but nothing more than that - just pastrami on ciabatta bread, definitely not piled high as described. The slaw was nothing but green cabbage with a little bottled dressing. My quinoa salad was tasty but nothing super and pretty small given the $10 price that did not include any unusual ingredients. The mac and cheese that my husband got as a side was decent but it is definitely NOT a pasta entree as intimated on the menu. We thought dessert might save the day and since it was his birthday, we decided to try the cinnamon bun bread pudding. The expresso ice cream was delicious but the bread pudding was so salty (an extreme over-reach on salted carmel, we presume) that all we could do was shake our heads and wish we'd dined at The Goat. To her credit, our server was both delightful and professional. She comp'd us for the iced tea (coffee) and gave us dessert on the house, which was generous and ended our experience on an uptick. But not enough so to return. Ever.

Good food, eccentric menu...but not blow-your-socks-off food. Per other Yelp reviews, I tried the gnocchi salad, short rib tacos, and finished with the strawberry rhubarb pie with basil ice cream. Best dish: Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. They make the Sweet Basil Ice Cream in house and it is Awesome! Interesting combination but perfect! The tartness of the pie is balanced by the sweet ice cream. However, for the other 2 dishes...not impressed. One suggestion to the restaurant....both dishes were a bit too salty. As for ambiance, it's loud...and more of a brewery atmosphere. But I bet I'll be back to try more.

I have to stop at this place every time I drive by Glenwood. springs. I consider it a treat that can't be missed. The food is delicious, high end and creative without all the pretentious fuss. go there just because or for a special occasion. Contrary to the belief that it's popular because it's the only restaurant attempting to do New American food is a falsity. It is popular simply because the food is good. We recently went with a group of seven for dinner and we couldn't decide who had the best dish because they were all delicious. The service is also great. Make reservations if you can because it gets really busy. I love it so much I wanted to eat all my meals here during my brief stay in glenwood springs. I highly recommend this place.

Ordered the night's special beef short rib dish that was the special that night that brought down an otherwise five star rating. The mac and cheese and arugula salad were fantastic! The fish was cooked well. However, the short rib was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too salty. The first bite was ok, but the saltiness just built and built on itself. The service was fine (if a bit slow at first) and attentive. Next time I'll try the roast chicken - the server said that everyone in the kitchen said it was their favorite dish.

This place is hoppin'! By far, the best restaurant in Glenwood, and one of the best restaurants in Colorado. Superb service and amazing food. Same chef as the famous 689 in Carbondale. Interesting crowd that is a combination of Glenwood locals, Aspen beautiful people and western slope rednecks.

Nice place for a sandwich and a beer or cocktail. Nice wait staff and well stocked bar. A little noisy for us but looks like a fun place. Food was excellent however the cole slaw was dripping with sauce....ran all over the plate. Have them serve it in a side dish as it made the sandwich I had soggy. Overall a really nice place for relaxing and making friends.

Food was perfect. A pleasant spin off the classic reuben with the most tendee and juicy corned beef that has ever come my way. The 10 out of 5 belongs to the special that day. A braised pork sandwich with pineapple and bell pepper. Succulent, juicy meat. Everything on that sandwich was perfection. The fries were okay, salad was plain, but a nice mixed green with a vinaigrette.The cocktails were fun. We had an orange creamsicle, which wasnt too sweet. Aperfect creamy blend. You knew it was a cocktail, but also a push pop! My bf had a moscow mule, which had a light, slightly crisp taste. It wasnt memorable, but refreshing. Ambience was great. Server was perfect!!!

Good stuff. We beelined straight for the bar one very hot Saturday afternoon, after biking through Glenwood Canyon in 96-degree weather. All we wanted was ice cold beer and a bit of fresh food to tide us over till dinner. Ordered the kale parmesean salad, which was delish - the pine nuts balanced out the flavor perfectly. Also split the gruyere mac between us since we needed a bit more sustenance. Equally satisfying. And THEN. We decided to take the plunge and order a slice of salted chocolate pie. Oh. Snap. It was a small slice, elegantly presented, and absurdly delicious. I've been burned by "salted" desserts before that pretty much ended up tasting like the ocean, but this was everything I wanted it to be and more. Bottom line: we left The Pullman feeling feeling MIGHTY FINE, which is really the best recommendation I can give.

After reading the reviews (and seeing the Nutella bread pudding with bacon ice cream on the menu...yes, it's really true), it became our destination for dinner while traveling through. We toted our five month along and placed our order of cheese curds, hangar steak with amazing smashed potatoes, and Nutella bread pudding with bacon ice cream to go. It was the best meal in a box that I've ever had! I would've loved to enjoy the amazing meal in the swanky restaurant, but decided with the baby that we would let other enjoy their meal too. Hands down recommendation on this one!

This place is crazy good. I wish I could have taken it with me when I left. We were a party of 6 and had made reservations. My folks are on the older side and it's a happening place, so they were having a hard time hearing when we walked in. The staff was super nice about getting us a table that was smaller and relatively quiet = super bonus points. The drinks we got were AMAZING. I love bourbon and they had a number of great drinks for me to try, each one better than the last. Finally the food. I really liked my steak and the salads were very inventive.

A MUST GO! Exceeded expectations. As a recommendation pit stop on a roadtrip home, we were looking for a quick bite. We ordered the Mac n Cheese, Duck Nuggets, Pullman's Grassfed Burger (burger with egg, caramelized onions, and a fluffy bun), and pierogis Togo. We ate every last bite down to the parmesan that topped the french fries. The Mac n Cheese is the best ever with full flavors of cheese and breaded topping and we added bacon. The pierogis were moist with a truffle potato filling. The sauce served with the duck nuggets complemented the salty with a tart very well. The burger was tender and full of fresh flavor. The egg complemented so well no additional condiments were necessary. On top of the great food the service was outstanding. Initially we were given a 20-30 minute wait but got seated within 5 minutes. Our server Tiffany presented the additions (specials) so well that we had to applaud her. She made sure we enjoyed our meal to the fullest as with the other customers around us. We will be back very soon!

I was soo excited the eggplant cannelloni is still on the menu!!! We ordered this entree as our appetizer and it was as good as I remembered. Next we shared a beet salad. Nothing new, but perfect nevertheless. My entree was three expertly cooked fresh scallops on top of an amazing orzo risotto. The food is really good, the service is great and the ambiance is just right.

Wow! We didn't expect to find any decent restaurants in Glenwood Springs. Luckily Yelp exists. This place was awesome! We actually couldn't stop ordering more things off the menu, even tho we had a 4 hour drive to Denver ahead of us. The handmade gnocchi, asparagus, wild mushrooms salad with oregano vin & parmesan was amazing. Gnocchi in a salad was appreciated by all. The truffle potato pierogis with caramelized onions & scallion crème fraiche was like nothing else I've ever had. Everyone at the table enjoyed this one as well. The mac & cheese is another one I'd recommend. So many other great sounding meals (especially after experiencing some of the menu) that I know I would drive from Denver just to go eat here. Seasonal and local ingredients is a plus. Save room for desert. That menu is just as impressive as the dinner menu.

I don't think I can speak highly enough about this place. The food is amazing with a capital A. Not only does it taste incredible but they use locally grown and sourced ingredients. It all tasted heavenly and the service (waiter John) was awesome. Highly recommend the nutella bread pudding with bacon toffee. Hmmmmm They also had some yummy cocktails. You can't go wrong here!

Brody G.
Unbelievable place. This is my new favorite in Glenwood. Amazing menu with amazingly unique and eclectic options. But eclectic can be a hazard if you can't pull it off...this place does it. We tried several of the small plates, soup, and mussels, and all were spectacular! And the desserts were a little piece of heaven. The food and wine alone would have been enough to earn this place 5 stars, but the service (THANK YOU BRITTANY) and atmosphere made this a perfect anniversary dining experience. Special occasion or no occasion...I suggest you make this place a priority on any trip to Glenwood Springs!

Went to Glenwood looking for Cajun and that restaurant was no longer cooking, so they sent us to The Pullman. We WIN!! The service was fast and attentive, though the gentleman who seated us (2) did not smile, even when smiled at. He let us know that the kitchen would be shutting down soon and encouraged us to decide quickly... I had the peirogies and my date had the roasted chicken and both were extremely flavorful. The waiter brought us warm bread which was very welcome on a chilly fall night while we were having a late dinner. Good prices, great service and awesome, delicious food. We will be back.

The food was delicious but the portions were too small. The service was great and we didn't have to wait to be seated even thou it was a busy evening. My husband and I decided we would go to the hot springs pool for an hour and get a second dinner after. I would go there again, but make sure to order enough food. The pricing was reasonable.

I agree with every good thing that has been said about this place. The portion sizes were absolutely perfect. I enjoyed the housemade burrata with eggplant and crispy shallots, gnocchi salad (warm, perfectly browned gnocchi, sweet potato, and wild mushrooms hiding under a pile of greens with a tower of shaved Parmesan), and Irish stout chocolate cake (a surprising and delightfully deconstructed one). All were divine with an excellent balance of flavors. I was so impressed I went to their sister restaurant six89 (one of two others I believe) in Carbondale for dinner the same day. On Wednesdays the Carbondale restaurant has $20 3-course comfort food prixe-fixe meals. I was enjoying mused and the portions were reasonable enough that I thought I could enjoy a fourth (beet salad with dates and house-made feta) course and got a little too full. Wonderful establishments with stylish, comfortable accommodations and excellent execution. Gnocchi salad is available in both restaurants (the server at six89 told me Pullman stole it from them) and both are in beautiful parts of Colorado worth visiting. Glenwood Springs for the hot springs, Carbondale for hiking IMO. I can still taste the combination of truffle oil and Parmesan. I only regret I was unable to try more things at Pullman. I'll be posting pictures.

LOVE this place! Visiting from San Diego, we had a late lunch there on Sunday. Brian had the mussels, which he said were delicious and I had the kale salad and the mac 'n' cheese. The kale salad was divine (that might be a strange way to describe it, but I really like kale) as was the mac 'n' cheese. Oh yeah, we also had a round of 'Mitchelladas' and those were pretty good, too, although I was not crazy about the slight sweet-ness, which I am attributing to the ginger-infused gin. I asked if the lime juice was sweetened, and the server said 'no,' so it must've been the gin. I wish we had tried the salted chocolate dessert... How about opening a satellite in San Diego? :)

Waiter was very courteous and not pushy at all. Food was okay, for the price it was pretty good. But after eating the Gnocchi at French Laundry in Yountville, CA, nothing else really compares. The gnocchi I got was slightly burnt, but the service and the lemonade was so good that it didn't matter as much. My dish: Butternut Squash, Mushroom, Gnocchi, + Greens Salad. I recommend coming here pre or post hot-springs bathing. :)

My husband and I stopped here for an early dinner after spending the afternoon at the hot springs pool. We had a few glasses of wine, and then our meals. I ordered the grass-fed burger and it was excellent, probably the best burger I've ever had. Loved that it came on an English muffin. The cheddar + caramelized onions were the perfect topping, no need for any condiments. My husband had the pork shoulder + grits and couldn't stop talking about it. Only his 2nd time having grits, and he slurped them all up before I could even get a taste. We stayed in Vail, and the Pullman EASILY surpassed any of the restaurants we dined at in Vail. And the price! So much more reasonable! If you get the chance, please visit!

Unique, delicious food in an upbeat atmosphere. The calamari in citrus aioli was excellent. My friend had the tortilla soup and said it was excellent as well. There were many items on the menu that were appealing, so it made choosing difficult. Presentation of the food was beautiful. I like it when my food looks good as well as tastes good. The service was superb. Make reservations, because this place gets packed very quickly.

Amazing food. Had the Ham and Gruyere fritters to start. So tasty.. The saltiness cut well with the house preserves. Then I had the duck meatloaf and my date had the pullman burger. Both entrees were delicious. Our sever was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Recommend this place to anyone in the area and when I visit again will for sure eat here.

Great service and an inventive, yet not too challenging menu. Lots to choose from,very reasonably priced for the quality (except the deviled eggs and oysters...) and really well prepared. Our waiter was really well versed in gluten-safe options and even the more obscure pitfalls of the menu. The only turn-off were the tvs in the dining room. We'll definitely go back!

Recently, my girlfriend and I came to Glenwood Springs for a relaxing weekend. As we were pulling into town we saw The Pullman, which looked cool, but we wanted to check the menu to make sure the food looked as good as the atmosphere. Indeed it did! Needless to say, we gave it a shot. And boy was that a one of the best decisions we made on our trip! So how was the food? Well, I think the fact that we not only dined there that first night, but the second night of our trip as well answers that question. And the service was great too! As a relevant side note, it's worth noting that we were debating about dining in Aspen or Carbondale that second night, but The Pullman, with its delicious and healthy food, sucked us back in. Why drive far away when reasonably priced gourmet dining is so close to your hotel? Anyway, I'd highly recommend the following menu items: the roast bone marrow, deviled eggs, the squash soup (if they have it), the squash risotto, the brussels with bacon & spuds, and the grass-fed burger (with a lettuce bun of course). They also have a nice selection of Colorado craft beers, but unfortunately none of them are on tap (the one and only drawback to The Pullman I noticed).

The best meal in Glenwood Springs without a doubt, and likely the best meal you'll get in the valley in terms of value for price. I have a few friends who work at the Pullman and for many months they and our assorted other Pullman-loving friends would talk my ear off about how great it was. I'd gone twice and both times was unimpressed. That was until I had the strawberry rhubarb raviolis at a dinner with my girlfriend's family. It was, I must admit, the beginning of a realization, or, a discovery if you will. I returned the next week with my family and we tried bascially everything on the menu. The kale parmesan salad with pinenuts and currants - fresh, light, and summery. The mac and cheese - creamy and flavorful. The duck meatballs over black pepper cavatelli - a tad runny but decadent and satisfying. The steel head trout practically dissolves in your mouth. My girlfriend's been back at least 8000 times and orders the Pierogis every time she does. I tend to avoid dishes flavored primarily with onions but even I was swayed by them. But the hands down stars of the show are the desserts. Changing to fit every season, the 2013 summer selection includes a strawberry rhubarb ravioli served with a basil ice cream. The marscapone tart, the flourless chocolate are both great. But the raviolis....wow. The basil ice cream is made in house. I've never seen it anywhere else, but I wish I had. Much of the food is on par with your average prix-fixe French mecca in New York. The portions - while not massive - are fair. Prices are more than reasonable in comparison with the cost. *If there was one thing I had that I must admit I wasn't particularly thrilled with, I'd have to cite the nori roll. It was simply too salty. I know that's par for the course with salmon pastrami but it was overwhelming and left the dish underwhelming.

One of the best restaurants in the state. Really enjoy the overall experience: great cocktail menu, snacks, small plates and the entrees all are awesome. The chef uses fresh, in season and local ingredients in a very creative manner. The salads are super fresh and dressed lightly. All the mains are well thought out and I would like to try each of them. Save room for desert. The dinning room is open and pleasant and the service is caring. I hope they keep the standards as high as they do in their Carbondale place!

4.5 Stars. Highly recommend this place if you are ever in Glenwood Springs. Awesome service and very tasty food. The staff was extremely attentive. I had the special which was the pork chop and it was cooked to perfection. My lady had the grass fed burger and it was cooked perfectly (to her request of course). We both had small salads and the 'chips' to start. Next time I'm in Glenwood, I'll go back.

Atmosphere: Trendy modern. Quite loud (brick and concrete floors). The bar helps break things up a bit. Menu: Fairly typical of modern American. Lots of fun twists on classic fare. Preparation: Our meals (rabbit - special, colorado bass, mac 'n cheese, and duck meatloaf) were excellent. Sides (esp. the creamed spinach) were very flavorful. Desserts (nutella bread pudding, carrot cake beignets and rhubarb crumble) were delicious. Service: The hostess managed to get us in on a very busy Sunday evening with only a 15 minute wait. Our waitress was attentive, personable and efficient. Food delivery was fast and well organized. Overall: A very nice find right along the waterfront in Glenwood Springs. Our teenage daughter loved it so much she wanted to go back the next evening. We'll be back!

Always ask your foodie friends for recommendations when you travel! -- great advice, and no less this time during a visit to Glenwood springs for the hot springs pool (which is also lovely). The Pullman is walking distance (easy walk) from the hot springs via the pedestrian bridge that parallels the pool and the interstate. Our family included two in their seventies and the walk/views were lovely. The restaurant is an almost spare, lovely open space with a great design that pays homage to the local Glenwood Springs history. But none of that is the reason for the 5 stars. The food is simply spectacular, nicely proportioned, perfectly flavored, and absolutely delicious--from a foodie family, that is high praise. Our meal was eclectic, as we are--the beef carpaccio, the crispy crab cake, then the pork belly, the bass, even a burger (my F-I-L from india, loves burgers!) Every bite was lovely--each dish was splendidly prepared. the crab cake was one of the best I've had--nearly all crab with a good balance of flavors. the pork belly was sublime (who likes the idea of a dish called 'belly'), but it was the favorite of the table second to the carpaccio. For those of you who like carpaccio, you'll know its difficult to make it well--this one was tops, with just the right mix of spice and arugula to entice your mouth. My daughter, tired from the springs pool all day, had the mac and cheese--a thing we would not usually do, as she doesn't know 'kraft' by sight. This one was excellent, subtle gruyere and not all sharp cheddar--we all were happy when she didn't finish it and added bites to our own plates. In short, when we travel to tourist places, we often pay too much for food that is worth too little--The Pullman was the opposite--great, beyond great food, non-intrusive but attentive service, a good wine list, a lovely location...we will go back.

we LOVED the pullman. i have worked for frank bonnano for years and am a self proclaimed denver foodie. i thought the restaurant looked like something that could be part of the frank bonnano/ jean phillipe failyau empire- and told our server so. (if osteria marco and park & co had a baby, it would be the pullman) bone marrow- AWESOME. veal sweetbreads- yes please, again and again. homemade burrata lacked a little seasoning but i could have eaten 10 pounds of the pistachio butter that accompanied. the spring pea soup was delightful. we shared seared sea scallops with orzo and curry braised lamb shank with mushroom risotto. both dishes were wonderful. the only thing we were upset about was leaving the boxed up orzo on the table when we left. REALLY affordable wine list and the 2009 tempranillo/ garnacha blend did NOT disappoint at $34 (i think) a bottle! thank you PULLMAN! we can't wait to try your sister, phat thai! xoxoxo

We liked this place so much we ate here three times during our three night stay in Glenwood Springs. I think this restaurant is our favorite of Mark Fischer's. On our first visit (lunch) we split the grass fed burger and short rib tacos. The burger was very good but the tacos were amazing. Our second visit was also for lunch. I had a lamb sandwich which was one of the day's specials. The better half had the cobb salad. We didn't share but both really liked our selections. The third visit was for dinner. There was a triathlon in Glenwood Springs that weekend so we had an hour wait but we knew that it would be worth the wait. We sort of shared the lamb meatballs with feta gnudi and the colorado lamb chops. Both were very good. I'd highly recommend this place if you're in the area.

Excellent service, ambiance, prices, cocktails and food! I opted for the basil gimlet, which was complex yet simple. We had the soup of the day - a luscious beet with horseradish creme fraiche. My Fiance went for the Ruben and I had the mushroom squash gnocchi salad. Awesome! We were too full to get dessert, but they all sounded amazing. We will be back for more very soon.

Fresh, fun food prepared with love. They have great twists on classic dishes. I was there for a CrossFit comp, so everyone in our group was a Glutard and our server totally got it. Diver Scallops are money. Drink menu was great and prices were shockingly low. Kudos to the Pullman. The highlight of Glenwood Springs.

Wait staff is impeccable. Food is of the highest caliber in this quaint little town. If u want something other than a burger, this is the joint. Awesome cocktails with local organic liquors. Highly, highly recommended. Must check out if in town. Then check out Doc's around the corner for something a bit more local and historic. Love it!

We loved everything about this restaurant. If you are in Glenwood Springs this has to be on your list of places to go. The atmosphere is awesome and the staff is friendly without being overbearing. I ordered a simple grass fed beef burger and it blew me away. I never have very high standards for burgers but this is one I would absolutely order again. I only wish they had a location in Denver. The variety of price points on the menu makes this spot ideal.

Had the roasted chicken with gnocchi and my partner had the hanger steak with potatoes and horseradish sauce. Both were divine. We just visited on a whim after checking out some yelp reviews in the area and this place was a definite winner. Some of the best food I've ever had. Ambience was nice and service was fantastic even though we came in thirty minutes before closing... Our food was fresh and our server was excellent. Highly recommend this place!!!!

You had me at Crispy Pork Belly! Highlights: Scallops, Short Rib Tacos and Crispy Pork Belly Ate at the Bar, friendly wait staff all had great information on the menu and plenty of dinner ideas for me. Great Atmosphere, casual restaurant with awesome food. Awesome place, great food and friendly staff make this a must in Glenwood Springs. Can't wait to come back!

We had dinner there last week. We had our two daughters, 5 and 3. There was a sign that said "We welcome your well-behaved children". Well, ours are. I saw the ratings say "not good for children". I disagree. If your kids are well behaved, the staff was attentive to them as well as us. They had crayons and kid menus, which is more than some restaurants. But the food was FANTASTIC! The squash agnolotti was pillowy and divine. The Scallops were uniquely dressed and wonderful, cooked to perfection. The waiter knew his beer as well as wine. The kids meals even came with ice cream or pudding for dessert. We WILL be back!

While in the midst of a round-the-US road trip, I stopped here based on the Yelp reviews. I ordered the wild mushroom wontons and gnudi with lamb meatballs. Both were amazing, especially the gnudi. A perfect stop on the way to Whistler or Denver!

If you live in Denver it is worth the drive to eat dinner up here. Get a little bit of everything and enjoy their cocktails as much as their food. Great for gluten free. Dinner better suits the food over lunch. I've had dreams about their rabbit hash.

Great food. Must try to the gnocchi salad.... I didn't think I would enjoy a salad so much. And very attentive waitress. She was super helpful in giving us suggestions on where to go and explore. Why 4 stars? To be honest, it is because relative to Sweet Basil in Vail and Duo in Denver metro, I didn't like everything... The soup of the day was a pear and fennel soup -- it just wasn't exactly what I wanted. My boyfriend had to the sloppy john... the P brand on the bun was cool but I didn't want to steal my boyfriend's sandwich even though he enjoyed a lot. Probably could have been 5 stars if I hadn't had Sweet Basil and Duo earlier in the week. But I will definitely come back!

We stopped in Glenwood Springs for lunch. Originally I looked on Yelp and found the Grind. We went there but it was so busy there was no place to sit. So we walked a few blocks and came to the Pullman. Had a great beet soup and a refreshing salad. Service and atmosphere were good.

The Pullman was absolutely delicious! My friends and I stopped here for dinner during our short stay in Glenwood Springs. The food was delicious and the service was excellent! The manager stopped to check on us multiple times to make sure everything was up to our standards. I definitely recommend this place!

Love the food but keep your receipt. My $13 bill with a $3 tip shows up as a $21 on my cc statement. Apparently the waitress thought she deserved an additional $5 and the 3 became an 8.

I've reviewed this restaurant before with 4 & 5 stars. This visit was disappointing as we were not able to get in. This was a planned mid-season visit to Glenwood to enjoy some of my favorites without the crowds. First night in town (monday), I checked the hours which said they were open until 9:30 pm. We showed up at 8:25 and were told we could only get drinks, the kitchen was closed. I mentioned that their advertised hours are until 9:30 and the hostess was quite snotty and said when it was slow they close when they close! No apology for the inconvenience or our disappointment. The next night we didn't even try since it was after 8 when we were ready for dinner. Wednesday night we made a real effort to do an early dinner, arriving at the Pullman at 6:30pm. Unfortunately, there was a private party going on and the restaurant was only open for them. The bright side is that we ate at the wonderful, new, Chang, Thai restaurant, and didn't have to decide between The Pullman and Zheng. There is always a silver lining! I will probably try The Pullman again as I have had quite a few good and very good meals there, but I must say I was put off by the lack of professionalism displayed by the hostess.

This restaurant makes me want to move to Glenwood Springs! Not only are the staff amazing, but the food is a mouth watering flavor adventure. The hubby and I ate here every day we were in town on a recent long weekend trip. Having tried several of the small plates, salads, desserts, and cocktails, I can safely tell you there is no way to go wrong. Some highlights: - brussel sprouts with bacon and potatoes - house made burrata with pickled eggplant and shallots - espresso ice cream with Irish cream foam and dark chocolate biscotti - pork belly with celery root puree and green apple salad - cereal milk ruski...a white Russian with cereal milk...seriously amazing! You simply can't go wrong and if you aren't happy they will fix it. I saw a lady complain about her food and before she could think twice they had brought her something else. I really wanted to see if I could eat what she sent away as it looked divine but thought that might seem a little odd. The staff welcomes you in and is so incredibly friendly. We made a point of sitting at the bar regularly for the awesome conversations we had with people around us. Visit here if you dare as it's sure to make you crave it for months on end.

2012 Esquire was right! Excellent non-complicated service, in a nice attractive well designed space. The food was excellent. Went for lunch and had the chicken sandwich and autumn cianfotta. Both where perfect to share for lunch. Fresh ingredients and well balanced. The next time we visit GWS we go for dinner. Looking forward to going back.

When you visit a tourist town in summer, you expect to get suckered into spending a lot of dough for a meal you wouldn't dare spend money on back home. That's why we did a little research before coming to Glenwood and found the Pullman. Esquire wasn't lying when they named it one of America's Best New Restaurants. I don't have enough nice things to say about this place. First, the space itself is beautiful and spacious. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful but it's the food that says the most! I love restaurants that try! The Pullman tries and succeeds on every level. For apps we had the oysters flown in fresh from WA and the burrata cheese with pistachio butter. For our main we had the muscles and the rabbit. Both were heavenly. Most of the time you eat to get full but these meals made you slow down and actually enjoy every savory mouthful. I would drive the 4 hours from home just to eat at this place again. Prices were very reasonable - I wish we could get something this good back home!

5 STAR! Hands Down!!!! Glenwood Springs was a place that we drove through from Denver en route to Las Vegas. Wasn't sure where to eat for dinner and Yelp brought us here. Even the locals highly recommend this place... IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT US, it went above and beyond, exceeding any expectations we had. The service was excellent (David was our server), and the restaurant had a very nice ambiance to it. It's a perfect example of Great Fusion cuisine. What did we order? The raw oyster was off-the-chart good! Being in Vegas has blunted our taste buds, and this raw oyster was so good that my wife ate 5 of them. The Gnochi salad with mushroom was a surprise. We did not know what to order and went off what most people recommended on Yelp, and it was great. If you like warm salad, this is the one to go with. I'm not a big salad fan, and I absolutely loved it! Entree: We had hanger steak and pork shoulder. The hanger steak was phenomenal, but what I'd like to comment on is the pork shoulder. Again, went with what most yelpers recommended, and I'm not a pork fan. But I can tell, if you like pork, this is a great dish. I give it a 4-star, and that's only because I've never been into Pork dishes. I would've probably ordered seafood given how fresh their oysters are, but unfortunately, or fortunately, I really wanted to try something different. Desert: Save room for desert, you'll need it. The desert is full of surprises, mixing sweet with salty (bacon ice cream). I personally thought it was a good innovation, but probably won't try it again because it just taste "weird"- in a good way. I'd like to try something else next time! The only con: The menu is way to confusion - take your time, it's worth it! And would I come back if i travel through glenwood again? You bet!

Tried this out on our way thru from CA to home in eastern CO. Excellent service, creative food selections and cool place near the train depot. I had the roasted chicken which was juicy and tasty and we shared their Gruyere and white cheddar mac and cheese. Next time we are in GWS, I am back to try another intriguing menu item.

I am a food snob--rarely do I find a restaurant that prepares food that I consider to be worth eating. Yet I loved my Scallops on Green Pea Risotto. I don't even like Risotto but this stuff I wanted to lick off the plate. And the scallops, which are SO hard to cook correctly, were lightly caramelized on one side and oh-so-tender on the other. I'm also a traditionalist when it comes to margaritas. No frothy fruity concoctions for me--all I want is real lime juice. I only ordered the Grapefruit and Habenero Margarita because my kids liked the sound of it. If only I could have one of these after work every day! But wait--it got better. My Carrot Cake beignets were fine, but the Basil Ice Cream that came with my neice's Rhubarb dessert was to DIE for. Everyone else in our party of 6 looked as satisfied as I felt after our meal. The bottom line? The service was friendly, the prices were reasonable and the food was beyond compare.

Happened to stop in Glenwood Springs because the sun went down as we were on a cross-country roadtrip. What luck! I don't think you can eat any better than this within 100 miles. The salads were good, if a bit salty. The main dishes were incredible, though. The Rocky Mountain trout was perfectly pan-fried: the skin was crispy, the flesh was tender, and it the whole-grain mustard sauce was tangy but not too strong. The shrimp and grits were truly inspired, with the addition of grilled tomatoes and tomato-bacon broth. The house red wine is a pinot noir from the Willamette Valley. They get it in a bag and it comes out of a tap. You order it in 100mL increments, and it comes to the table in an erlenmeyer flask. It's cheap and great! The minor complaints: no beer on tap, the shrimp were a bit overcooked, and it took a while to get our server's attention at first.

Oh my gosh...you have to try this place! Sat down and saw the menu prices and was shocked to see that all the entrees were under $20. But when you add up all the extras, it is not cheap...but great bang for the buck! This place was soooo good that we took some friends and ate there a second night. The menu changes weekly so Its hard to say will work for you, but in the course of the two nights, we had 4 different entrees and other plates all were exceptional. If you looking for "bulk" not maybe the place for you, but if you're looking for explosions on your taste buds, this is the place for you! Even the kids menu was awesome!

One of the best meals I've had this year. Outstandingly inventive dishes, prompt and friendly service, a short but interesting wine list; I can't wait to come back again. The cauliflower bisque was incredible, the crispy apple/ginger ravioli with rum/butterscotch ice cream to die for. A real treasure.

My wife and I went here for dinner after hitting a few other places for happy hour. I wish i had saved all the room for the pullman. Everything about it was top notch. We had a great server who made some awesome recommendations and was so pleasant that she even sat down with us to talk about the local hot springs. We had the pork belly tacos- Good but not great the thai mussels (which i was a little hesitant to order in Colorado) - excellent sauce and Spicy sausage. I would get these as an app next time because there were so many other delicious things to try. It was a memorable dinner in a forgettable town.

Erin T.
This place blew me away. I simply wasn't expecting such an excellent restaurant in Glenwood Springs. The handmade gnocchi with mushrooms and squash along with arugula was one of the best small dishes I've tasted in ages. The gnocchi was perfectly seasoned, and firm not mushy. The mushrooms were the best available. I didn't see how the Sea Bass with pineapple salsa and rice could compete. But it did. It had a beautiful kick and the fish itself was seasoned so I didn't have to rely on dipping the fish into the salsa. The salted caramel pudding had seasoned salt in it--the real deal. It was very interesting. By 7:15 there were no tables and the bar was full on a Saturday night. I had a 5:30 reservation near the window to look at the river. I did not feel uncomfortable at all dining alone. And the prices would be double in Denver.

Years ago we couldn't find a stellar culinary experience in Glenwood, and now that has changed. The Pullman is the new star of Main Street. We were looking for a special place for a birthday dinner and the Pullman did not disappoint. We were greeted by super perky and friendly host who watered and seated us quickly. When we asked to move outside she quickly obliged us without drama. It was a little loud indoors but outside we were quite comfortable and it was easy to converse, plus the people watching along the Glenwood Strip at tourist peak is quite entertaining. Our waiter was easily one of the finest waiters I have ever had, funny, attentive, opinionated in all the right ways and passionate about the food he was serving..score. The food is inspired and delicious. I thought it could have used just a tad more salt, but fantastic nonetheless. Fresh heirloom tomato and plum salad was stellar and their homemade sourdough bread with its crispy crust is amazing. We all agreed it was a fine fine meal, save room for dessert. Great meal, inspired, fresh and friendly! Five stars hands down.

From the pre dinner cocktails to the last bite, this dinner was fabulous. Had to wait for a table, but we were able to grab a seat at the bar and order one of their recommended cocktails from an incredibly talented bar tender. We waited for only a few minutes and were served warm bread and butter and ordered the crab cakes for an appetizer. We ordered the mussels and pirogies as our meals, and wished we could have sampled everything on the menu because of the flavor combinations they offered. We will definitely be back.

Due to our lifestyle, my family and I dine out a lot--often at really nice establishments. So when we did a daytrip to Glenwood Springs, we headed for The Pullman due to the great reviews and foodie pics. When we entered at lunchtime, the first thing I noticed was a sign near the door that said "well-behaved children" were welcome. I just shrugged it off as our two kids are excellent at restaurants because they've been doing fine dining their whole lives. It took the host awhile to notice us and then even though the restaurant wasn't very full, we were seated at the worst table. "Okay, no biggie," I thought. They gave us menus, which didn't include kids menus. "Okay, maybe they don't have a kids menu." Again, it took awhile for anyone to come to the table after that and it was a gentleman that informed us that he'd get our drinks, but he wasn't our server. As we were on vacation, I let the kids order a fountain drink and they chose rootbeer. I got up and went to the bathroom---passing yet another sign disparaging children---(okay, we get it!!!!) and returned to find bottles of rootbeer at the table. Annoying, those weren't what we ordered. Finally, our server showed up and we asked if they had a kids menu only to find that their $9 kids meals only came with milk/juice (which usually would be great!), but now we'd need to fork out another $3 per kid for a drink. "Okay, fine, we'll just deal with it. $12 kids meals!" Oh....if things hadn't gotten worse from there.... After a long wait, my mac and cheese "entree" came and it was basically 1/2 cup of elbow pasta with guyere and a few breadcrumbs. $9 for that and I was still hungry. (I swear I don't eat much!) I don't mind paying that--even more--if it's wonderful, but it wasn't! The kids meals were also blah and the fries included with their meals and my husband's sandwich were something I could get at a fast food location. Again, this was all done with the bartender as our server--don't even get me started on how terrible our cocktails were-- what a bi-polar space cadet this woman was. Perhaps the worst service I've had in 2014. I'm just disappointed. The reviews hinted at something great and all we got was a big check for crappy food and service. The brewing company in town was much better and a better value for the money. Maybe all the great reviews are because in Glenwood Springs you can get away with this crap, but even my children could tell you that even if you gave them "a puppy and caffeine" like one of your snarky signs says, they wouldn't want to suffer through another heartless meal at The Pullman!

I used to love this place. Things have gone down hill since my last review. The house wine is listed at $3 but really it's $3 per 100mls. So if you order a glass you'll get a $9 glass of house wine. Salad was overly salty and I can't even address all the other issues with the food and service. My wine glass was so dirty and when I said something, I was met with a huff. We had the worst waiter in the world. Is that even possible? Yes, it is. He had an attention span of a 2 year old. I almost think he has developmental issues. As a person who has worked with preschooler, I felt empathy but just not sure if he was appropriate to work with the public. I know that other patrons felt the same way as we all looked at each other puzzled as he zoomed from table to table, rarely to finish a sentence or hear the rest of mine. I have also worked in restaurant in front of the house and I would have him working as a busser. When I brought up the issue with the wine pricing he just argued with me like a 2 year old. This is NOT the Pullman I met 3 years ago.

Mase T.
Probably the best place in Glenwood Springs! Love the ambience, waitstaff, and most of all the food. The pickled deviled eggs were yummy. The pork belly salad was amazing. I ordered the curry mussels served with a large slab of pork rind. That was an epic dish. If you love spice, seafood, and texture this dish is for you. My boyfriend ordered the special of day which was venison chops. He had it prepared medium-rare and it came out a little tough but he inhaled it. In addition, we ordered the beef risotto and that was okay, so don't waste your money on that dish. However, the best dish (hands down) was the deep friend apple ravioli with gingerbread ice cream! That was bomb. Love the crunchy texture of the ravioli with the warm apple filling and to finished it off with the gingerbread ice cream was the icing on the top. What a sweet way to celebrate the holidays. On my books for great Colorado restaurants.

I wish I frequented the city of Glenwood Springs more because I would love to be a regular at The Pullman. Thanks to reviews by fellow Yelpers, a bridal party and I picked this place for a nice dinner on the first night of a bachelorette weekend. The bride is pretty picky when it comes to food, so we wanted an American restaurant with something for everyone, especially her. The menu uses big, fancy words, but a diner should not be worried - everything on the menu is delicious (well, at least what we tried). I had the shoulder filet, with roasted garlic bacon mash, chimichurri and a red wine sauce. It was sooo tender and flavorful. After munching on bread and eating all the mashed potatoes, though, I couldn't finish the steak so took home the leftovers. Others in my group had the roasted chicken, oysters, steak salad and gnocchi. All the plates were decent size, so we had more than enough food. Service has a lot of weight with me, so I was happy to have a great experience with all the staff. The hostess was very accommodating to reschedule our previously made reservation. And our waiter was patient when we asked to hear about menu items and for suggestions on meat temperature. He also humored our bachelorette party antics, even surprising the bride with a penis straw for her beer. i don't remember his name, but he was great.

Just finishing lunch here. Good food. Fries were real good. Solid service, although the waiter forgot to get me the extra catsup and I had to ask again. My wife said her food was "great", so she would probably give 5 stars. I'm sticking with 4. Real good, I would eat here again.

No need to contemplate where to eat dinner. Just eat here. Trust me. Trust Yelp. Seriously. I got the trout and the mister got some BBQ dish that we can't remember exactly for the life of us. I also got the lobster bisque cappuccino which was delicious. More spicy than creamy. All of the flavors and textures complemented each other perfectly. We had the saison from Trinity brewing which rocked our socks off! Our waitress was amazing and really fun. Cody? Cory? I feel so bad that I forgot her name, because she helped make it a great experience.

Our whole trip to Glenwood Springs was a surprise. I didn't realize how great of a town this is and the Pullman was a big factor in making me think this. The food here is creative and well prepared. With a good mix of healthy options and indulgences. We ended up sharing the fish dish and the mussels. Both were excellent. The drink menu had some really creative options also. I ended up having a mule with Fernet that was amazing. The only thing that was better than the food was the service. Overall, great experience.

Absolutely wonderful! I had the pork belly dish for dinner which was soooooo good. The maple glaze on it is amazing. My husband had the eggplant dish which had a very tasty tomato sauce on it. For dessert we shared the spiced cake with cream cheese ice cream. The ambiance is trendy. Very nice drink list. Very impressed overall.

When restaurants are nice, they usually are expensive. As in: dishes cost more, and there is less food. They actually have a lot of food. But it was good as well. The chicken was very tender (even the breast). The soup of the day was green apple. It was good until I realized that this is like apple sauce. Should that detract? I don't know. Depends on how you feel when you pay a lot of money for something that isn't that expensive.

We walked in at ten o'clock on the dot (there were quite a few people anticipating Pullman's opening) and were greeted by friendly staff. Our server was great, as was our good and drinks. The pickled bacon deviled eggs were delicious, as was my corner beef hash. My husband was happy with the size and quality of his burger as well. Great place! We will definitely go back next time we are visiting.

Amazing foodie haven right here in Glenwood Springs. I've been for both brunch and dinner and every time the experience and food have been fantastic. This is a great place if you like to play with your food, as there are many small plate options. Recently ate a late Christmas Eve dinner here and it was great. We weren't starving, so we ordered the kimchi with peanuts, pierogies with lemon creme fraiche, and a steak/blue cheese salad. Along with a few microbrews. Perfect pre-holiday dinner. The tap list switches up quite frequently- The Pullman highlights only four at a time, and each time I've been here it is something different than the last. But no worries- they have micros in the can/bottle. Their cocktail creations are always a hit and can quickly add up on the bill! As long as you're not a picky eater who won't try anything new/different, you will be impressed!

Blueberry cobbler with sour cream ice cream! Duck meatloaf! The Pullman is my favorite restaurant EVER! I have never had such a delicious meal. Everything about this place is bomb.com . Make a reservation and GO!

Delicious. 5 people with different food interests all ate and were happy with their meals. Cheap as well. Great location in downtown if your coming off the mountain or out of the hot springs

I'd expect this type of high-quality, chef-forward restaurant to be in Boulder or Denver. Perhaps if it was, I'd give it 4 stars ... but this great value in a tourist area give it an extra boost. We had the duck meatloaf and pork shoulder, everything had a creative mix of ingredients and beautiful presentation. Solid craft beer selection.

After being told we would have to wait over an hour for a table (the 11 empty ones being reserved), my husband and I grabbed the last two seats at the bar. I ordered the steak salad. The steak was grilled perfectly, medium rare. Our drinks were also very good. We each had a whiskey mule. For the two hours we sat and ate, the reserved tables remained empty and the hostess kept turning away customers. Holding multiple tables two hours past the reserved time is an odd way to run a business. The food and drinks were good, but don't go unless you make a reservation or have a lot of time to stand around waiting. Or if you don't mind eating at a packed bar.

340+ reviews on yelp with 4.5 stars. Wow. This place seemed like a must try. Unfortunately the service did not match the cuisine. This place has an easy atmosphere with a decent wine list, and excellent fresh menu options at a decent price. Our server "Cora" was inexperienced with a slight attitude. She unfortunately wrecked what could have been a really amazing experience at a local Glenwood Springs restaurant with a chef or kitchen staff who seems to know what they are doing. We ordered a small dish of olives and a couple of salads to start. She brought those out "late" with our kids (ages 9 and 11- not super young) main entrees, and then piled on our dinners shortly after that. Her inexperience with the timing of placing orders was bright and clear. (It appeared to me that she forgot our olives and salad) I let her know that I wish she would have brought our entrees all together. She said she "assumed" we wanted kids meals sooner and, well our relationship went sour very quickly after that. She reacted in a super sassy way proceeding to ask when specifically I would like the kids desserts delivered. Bottom line- - The food was very well prepared, fresh, flavorful, interesting, affordable. -Cora was a terrible server (I have worked in the restaurant service industry for 15 years myself) -This was not a personality conflict, but a serious lack of competency, and most importantly very poor timing and intuitiveness on Cora's part. Timing and intuition make a great restaurant server. Cora, If you do not desire to improve on these character traits, do everyone a favor and find other work!

The lamb braised gnocchi is delicious!! The pastas are made in house. My husband had the pierogies, which had a new world twist and were delicious!! Great service and experience. We will be back.

My boyfriend and I came here when we made a trip to Glenwood for my birthday this year. I had read lots of great reviews and the restaurant definitely lived up to the hype! Cyndi was our waitress and she was SO fantastic! She made us feel so welcome, was so knowledgeable about the menu, and was extremely gracious if something we wanted wasn't available. For example, my boyfriend's first choice of entree turned out to be unavailable when she went to put the order in with the kitchen. She brought us free dessert to make up for it! I would not have expected that and it was a lovely touch. We started off our meal with the crispy artichokes. They were delightful and the olive tapenade was such a nice zingy accompaniment. For my meal, I chose the shoulder filet with roasted garlic bacon mash, chimichurri, and red wine sauce. The beef was so tender and the chimichurri was so amazingly fresh. Everything about this meal was wonderful. My boyfriend had a special of the night which was some sort of pork dish with smoked cherries. I feel so sad that I can't recall the proper name for it because it was absolutely delightful as well. For dessert, we chose the strawberry rhubarb ravioli. Crispy doughy warm pillows filled with tangy fruit filling, dragged through cream cheese sauce and finished off with a dollop of basil ice cream. Yea. It was goooooooood. I would make the trip back just for dessert alone. If you're ever in Glenwood, GO HERE! You won't be disappointed!

Dude you can order a bone here. Like a real bone from an animal, sliced in half and cooked to perfection. Its really what I took away from our meal at the Pullman. It was fantastic. Claire C. and I came the day after Thanksgiving, which is Glenwood is a big party, and after trying to get into other restaurants were able to get seated at The Pullman pretty much right away. (Psssss it helps when its a party of two and not 5 to 10 like everyone else that night) After checking in and looking for tips on my favorite mobile foodie app we ordered the Gnocchi Salad and Bone Marrow to split, Mac and Cheese and Gnocchi (I'm Irish and really like potatoes, don't judge me) for the main course and to finish we got a scoop of the Butter and Salted Ice Cream that comes with the bread pudding. The Marrow and Gnocchi Salad were excellent. Top Notch. I felt like all that is man scooping out the marrow and generously applying it to my toasted bread. The salad was good too, I think it is truffle oil that puts it over the top. The main courses were both good. I actually preferred the Mac and Cheese over the Gnocchi but I mean I'm splitting hairs here. Dessert was so what the doctor asked for. The ice cream was divine. I pine for it nightly. The only weird deal for us was ordering the drinks. I got a delightful beer but it came out as a 6 oz pour at first when the card said it would be 14 oz. I asked the server and she quickly went to ask the bar tender who had just put it in the wrong glass. Come to think of it though there wasn't an apology for that mistake. Claire C. got the house red wine. Here is the weird deal you order in ml. I mean I haven't used ml since high school chem I have pretty much no idea how much wine 1 ml is and ordering 300ml is super odd. It does come out in a super cool beaker but some more guidance as to how much to order would be really helpful. To be fair though it was a very busy night. Overall I say 4.5 stars. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra 30 bucks and go to the Pullman and have a meal you will remember for quite a while.

We had super high hopes going into The Pullman, long lines, good looking food, etc. But once we received our food, we realized it was over priced and just "ok". We had read that it was featured in Esquire magazine so we thought it had to be good if it was recognized on a national level. I can add that we are pretty "simple people" when it comes to our food and that could have played a roll. High end ingredients and "upscale" menu design with a casual atmosphere. Sometimes I just like to keep things simple. The mac and cheese was good, but super small for the price. The Ruben looked and sounded delicious, but it was a disappointment. We will not be going back to this restaurant next time we are in GS.

Dining on small plates was never so good. We shared a warm duck confit and Spinach salad that was to die for. You didn't want it to end. Such a marvelous blend of flavors and textures that accented each other. A must try if you visit. The Kale salad with parmesan, pinenuts and currants again was the perfect blend of flavors and textures. We had wine and another dish that escapes my memory but not the feeling of satiety that followed the meal. I would rate this the hands down favorite of all my recent dining in Glenwood Springs. Go, you will not be disappointed!

The food was territifc! What more do you need to say. Well, there is morE, our server, John, was excellent. His timing was perfect, he had a great personality and he knew the menu and wine list to perfection. Mark came over to the table and introduced himself, always a plus to meet the chef. ALso liked the decor. Not many 'nice' looking restaurants in Glenwood (not that we found anyway). This is clam, relaxing and clean. Do not miss this one. You will have a great dining experience!!

Rachel J.
Very delicious food, but I felt it was overpriced. I ordered the eggplant cannoli from the "large plate" side of the menu, but it was not very much food for $13. I ended up ordering the mashed potatoes (also very delicious) for an extra $5.

My boyfriend and I stopped here on the way to Denver for lunch, and we instantly fell in love. I got an amazing beet and arugula salad, and it was one of the best salads I've ever had. I also got their pea soup, and it was delish! My boyfriend got the grilled cheese, and he was immensely pleased even though he can be a bit of a food snob. The service was great, and I thought the pricing was fair. I would love to try this out for dinner some night!

Shanette M.
Sweet baby Jesus! This meal was soo f**king Amazing, & I took it carry out!! I had the bone marrow soo good & this is coming from a gal who had a roommate long ago that kinda ruined it for her. Lamb entree incredibly scrumptious!! Two deserts cause why not, the carrot cake was de- lish & the salted Choco pie. I mean thank god I did take out cause then I didn't have to embarrassed myself. The only problem is I live in Denver, I will be back.

Don't pass up an opportunity to eat here! If you are detail oriented and want value for your money this is where you eat. The perogies with truffle oil were my choice and everyone agreed they rocked. Not the biggest amount of food served, but definitely of high quality, and rich enough that you won't mind sharing plates.

This was the first time My friends and i went to this restaurant, and that was terrible, very disappointed. Firstly We ordered different food, we all think those food are salty and very small size. Then we asked manager, the manager said:" well, I can't understand what you want to do, do you want to order more food? " We said, no, we just told you we think those not deserve more than 12 dollars just for this small size. He said:" well, now you know, and this is our food. You know, everyone got the same size, and if you don't want to order more food, i'm sorry, but that's it!" So bad experience from this restaurant, we won't forget this one.

Wow! We just ate dinner her and were very impressed. We at at an earlier time and the place still had a great atmosphere. Our waitress Krisan, was very attentive and was great about answering all of our questions and gave great service throughout. The menu was very interesting with some quite eclectic choices together with enough choices for those of us who are less adventurous. We started with the beets, arugula and walnut salad. This had a horseradish dressing that was applied in just enough quantity to compliment the salad rather than overpower it. For main course my wife had the large plate hanger steak and I had the duck meatloaf. Both were phenomenal. Finally we got the bread pudding for dessert (although it was a tough choice with peach bacon crumble being an option - dessert with bacon?? You gotta give that a shot!). It being a favorite of my wife's she is a tough critic. Both of us loved it. Even the coffee was great! Finally the price was extremely reasonable given the quality. With two rounds of drinks it was $80 (exclusive tip). We'll be back again tomorrow night for the rabbit and the peach bacon crumble...

Unusually high quality and variety for the price. It helps to make a reservation which is so easy to do online which I did 15 mins before arriving there and they were turning people away. My table was ready for me. A bit noisy but great food and service and value!

I went for lunch and this place is delicious. For non-egg lovers you must try Cobb Salad Sandwich it's amazing. For those egg loves you would love Trout Scramble, Friend eggs sandwich, and Eggs benedict.

As a Colorado native, I've come to expect average 2 to 3 star food and service in most ski and tourist towns in the state. Unless you are willing to drop a hundred bucks per person in some swanky restaurant (in say Aspen or Beaver Creek), you usually won't find many places that take their culinary skills and customer service beyond a mediocre level. This is why my husband and I were both very impressed with The Pullman. Conveniently located in the "downtown" part of Glenwood Springs, the restaurant is a rustic, eclectic and comfortable setting that provides great customer service via well-trained and informed servers, and most importantly, great food. Notable dishes include the mussels and pulled pork entrees that my husband and I both shared. Unique flavor pairings, great presentation and perfect portions made these winners. Try this restaurant....you won't be disappointed!

This restaurant was the highlight of our drive through Colorado. We ordered crispy pork belly, a roasted red pepper soup special, and a lamb sandwich. Everything we ordered was amazing. Really wanted to try the macaroni and cheese. This place was so good that I'm actually planning a visit into my next roadtrip through the area.

Inconsistent food prep & service. Had a fabulous beef sandwich one afternoon & mediocre eggs Benedict a few mornings later-eggs not cooked quite enough (should be firm whites, not quite), meager portion of pancetta & hollandaise. Great service one day, had to wait for one meal at our table due to kitchen error on two other occasions.

Catherine O.
The food was outstanding. I had the Reuben and my husband ate the calimari po'boy. Nice texture, great bread, good flavors. Only three stars because the staff is sorely under managed. When we arrived, the manager actually sat at a table and just looked at us. Not one server glanced at the door. It was off hours but I'm not sure 3:00 on a Saturday afternoon, in a tourist town, is so strange. The manager finally sat us after about 2 min of us standing at the door. It still took 10 minutes to get a beer to the table. It has potential with a stronger leader in place.

We found The Pullman while on a train trip through Glenwood Springs, and have made it a point to re-visit whenever in the area. Visiting The Pullman starts with outstanding service from the Host, and the food is absolutely amazing! I personally recommend the Hanger Steak Salad....perfection in every way! The servers have always been very helpful and the bar has all you could ask for. The cost is VERY reasonable and considering the quality.....it's a bargain!

We had a great experience at The Pullman. We were looking for a good restaurant in Glenwood and found this one rated #1 on Yelp. The atmosphere was right up our alley - laid back. It has a pub feel to it, but we were looking for a local restaurant with excellent food - not necessarily white table linens and crystal glassware. Our waitor, Jon, was awesome. Extrememly knowledgable and great attention to detail (great with our five year old as well). We ordered two deviled eggs as an appetizer - not the best - a little tangy. For dinner, we ordered the duck meatloaf and the special which was a ribeye. Both were most excellent - would highly recommend both entrees. Prices were decent as well. We had three entrees (one child), an appetizer, salad, and two adult beverages each and the total was under $100. Perfect experience right in the heart of downtown Glenwood. Cheers!

I'm only basing this review on the poutine. I'm Canadian so of course whenever I see poutine on the menu in the US, I have to try it. This is nothing like the usual Canadian fare, nor is it good really. There's shredded cheddar instead of Mozzarella curd and a thin cream-based concoction instead of gravy. The fries don't lend themselves well to the 'gravy'. It was bland as well. :(

Great atmosphere, interesting drinks, and the menu was varied enough to keep us ordering more! Service was friendly but lacking that extra attention ( no water refills, silverware left with first course but no silverware with second). Next time we we are in town we will be back!

I can't recommend this place enough! I took my fiance here literally minutes after I proposed to her. I had called ahead and let them know that I planned to do this and they were so wonderful throughout the evening. There was a bottle of bubbly waiting for us on the table and the chef had prepared a special menu for us. The menu started with incredibly delicious baked oysters with a scallop mousse and a meyer lemon vinaigrette. Next was the gnocchi salad with shaved asparagus. Next we had a pork pate served with an incredible blueberry preserves that was a perfect pairing with the richness of the pate. This was my fiance's favorite of the night. The star of the evening for me was a grilled pork loin that had come from a local hog they butchered the evening before. The next course was a hangar steak that was impossibly flavorful and was so tender it seemed to melt in my mouth. Finally, for the dessert courses we had a Palisade peach sorbet served in a shot of Maker's Mark. God, was that good. Finally we had a chocolate peanut butter pie. The crust was made from peanut butter Captain Crunch and it was served with chocolate covered bacon toffee. The wine list was also great with many Colorado wines on the list that were all reasonably priced. I had one cocktail that needs to be added to the cocktail list, called the Three Putt. It was an Earl Gray infused gin done in-house mixed with fresh lemonade. It's the kind of drink that I would love to sip on all afternoon while sitting outside and watching the river go by. The service was impeccable--attentive and welcoming but never overbearing. The atmosphere was also perfect. Friendly and lively but not too loud. Special thanks to Eric, the manager, and the waitress whose name I wish I could remember. We will be back anytime we are near Glenwood and I would recommend that you all do the same.

Delicious, fresh, creatively prepared food! Two ambiance suggestions: No need for rock music in the background, since the high ceilings magnify the conversations. Avoid the tables under the a/c ducts if you don't have a sweater on. We started with the homemade chips with pungent blue cheese sauce. We split the red quinoa salad. Then the trout, eggplant, and chicken were great. The house red was a good deal. For dessert we split the strawberry rhubarb ravioli. Delightful! For $40 a person, do not hesitate.

We decided to eat at the Pullman for our wedding anniversary and were not disappointed. It was our first time there and after reading the reviews we were expecting a great meal. Be sure to make reservations because there is a constant stream of people. It was a Wednesday night but still full. My husband ordered his steak medium rare but it came well done but no matter, the waiter right away recognized that, apologized and brought one medium rare. The salad was delicious. The home fries were out of this world! We would go there again for sure if we are in the Glenwood Springs area.

Ilona F.
During a soak in the hot springs, a fellow bather recommended this restaurant and insisted that I try the burrata. This person seemed to know their way around the food world so I made a point of having lunch here before heading back to Denver. The burrata -- a ball of homemade mozzarella and ricotta cheese, served with white beans and roasted roma tomatoes -- was heavenly, both by itself and spread on the warm house bread. I decided to splurge and also try the trout; it was tasty but not as mouthwatering as the burrata. My only complaint is that they have a few flat screen TVs...why distract diners from the delicious food?

I have to say the first couple of times I wasn't going to give this a 5 star, but after a couple more it just keeps getting better. A winner of one of the top new restaurants in the United States had me wondering what I had been missing, but as I explored the menu I soon found out why...great food and great combinations of ingredients that you sometimes wonder how they came together. They do wine by the "inch" at the bar and have a lot of wine and beer tasting events. Don't miss meatball Tuesdays which is bread, wine, salad, spaghetti/meatball and apple cobbler desert for $18. Don't miss this restaurant when in town

Corinne E.
Pullman was recommended by the front desk gal at our hotel while in town. So glad we went! Tacos on the appetizer menu are outstanding! I'd go back for plates of those all the time if I lived closer. Dessert: Nutella Bread Pudding w/bacon ice cream--wow! Okay, the bacon ice cream was not as good as I had hoped, I'd prefer crunchy bacon bits on top instead of soft chewy pieces mixed in, however it pairs well with the caramel and bread pudding. We were very impressed with The Pullman; great food, modern atmosphere, service was nothing outstanding but not bad either. Dinner plates run about $20, 'small plates' run about $10. Great place to grab food while passing through or staying close.

Gnocchi salad worth going for alone. Baba beer, wonderful with it. Lamb sandwich a bit greasy, heavy, as was short rib sandwich. Bread amazing. Odd feeling there. Almost snippy with us. Uppity? I would say price range high, but average for here. Chicken cordon blue sandwich was great according to teen we brought with us. Oysters unique, cucumber flavor, but no Tabasco brought with them...which we are used too. Overall worth the salads. Seriously good. My teen not crazy about Lamb, asked for rest of my salad. Painful for me! What we parents sacrifice!

Amazing menu and great service! We enjoyed an absolutely delicious dinner here on a Monday evening with our three year old son. Even on a Monday, they were busy, so I recommend reservations. They were very accommodating and even returned my phone call regarding my concerns about bringing our son with us. They assured me that well-behaved guests of all ages are welcome (: There's something for everyone on their menu and we enjoyed appetizers, entrees, desserts & wine. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Thank you!!!

The fourth time here. I travel for business alone quite often, I think I was alone twice and had a companion twice. Everytime the food , the service and the ambiance were very good, when the place was packed or moderately busy. Staff is always fun, friendly without trying too hard. Tonite I had the grass fed burger with greens. Usually, I would rather have a green chile than caramelized onions, they finish the onions with sherry vinegar and brown sugar....perfect. I love bread but their homemade English muffin roll was super, it did not overwhelm the burger, I might need to rethink my love for big ciabatta rolls.

The Pullman a is restaurant that can stand toe to toe with anything in Denver and probably the best of Portland, Chicago, LA, San Francisco & New York. I've come to believe there is no decent food in the mountains, and that most mountain restaurants rely on the tourist trade, so they make only "edible" food so the tourist pays their bill and leaves. The Pullman was one of only two exceptions I have found in the mountains (the other being the "Laughing Horse" food truck in Breckenridge). The Pullman was a total surprise, the food, the service and the atmosphere are excellent. I wish it was in Denver (where I live) so I could go weekly, instead of the several times per year, I will make the 3 hour trip to eat there. If you are within 100 miles of this restaurant, make a detour and enjoy an excellent meal and a great experience.

Went here with three of my co-workers. The menu looked impressive (most of which I needed deciphered). Our waitress Raquel was friendly and more than happy to discuss the menu and make recommendations. I got the burger after some waffling (the fish sounded good). The burger was good (apparently free range and some other nice sounding things) and cooked right, topped with carmelized onions and cheese. The string fries were a bit too salty though. I have two vegetarian co-workers...one enjoyed her eggplant canneloni. The other received a squash dish with the bacon in it that she had requested be not in the dish. Then she asked for the mac and cheese instead after deciding she didn't want them to try making it again. Sadly, she was charged for the mac and cheese (but at least not for the bacon squash dish), which made her less satisfied. Overall, some hits some misses, I would think about returning, but would probably try some other places first.

Wow, where to start! If you like ecclectic dining, then this place is for you! The restaurant atmosphere is upscale, however, being in a tourist town, you can walk in with a tank top and flip flops, and still enjoy the great food. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary, so we went all out. For appetizers, we started with the gruyere cheese and ham fritters with strawberry preserve glaze/sauce...absolutely phenomenal, if you love gruyere cheese, it is definitely for you. We also had the bone marrow, in addition to the fritters, and that was fantastic as well, it was served with caramelized onions and grilled bread...if you aren't into trying new and ecclectic menu options, then this place may not be for you. On to the main course! I ordered the curry lamb with an additional side of the bacon mash potatoes. The lamb was so tender it was falling apart, cooked perfectly and very flavorful, by far one of the best lamb dishes I have had to date. I happen to love swine in its entirety, so the bacon mash tatoes were very delicious. The bacon was full of hickory smoked goodness, superb! My husband had the diver scallops, which were also perfectly cooked, served with a demi glaze. Not the best scallops we have ever had, but nonetheless, great. The portions were perfect me, however my husband thought they were a bit small. We didn't make it to desert because we were so stuffed with appetizers as well as the best sourdough bread they serve complimentary. The only reason why it wasn't a full 5 stars was due to the alcoholic beverages we chose. My husband had the sangria, housemade, which was made with white wine (we are predominantly red wine drinkers) so it was just okay. I had a mixed drink, which I can't recall the name of because it was mediocre. Other than the drinks, the food and atmosphere were fantastic! We will definitely going back again!

My Country tis of thee, How fine your food can be, Here at The Pull-man! Standard American food has never looked so good. Drooling over dish after dish I could hardly make it though half of the menu when I found Mac n Cheese with Guerre. I almost cried on the spot. What a beautiful molding of such magical creations! How I managed to read on, still boggles my mind, but I am glad I did, for I found my life blood, Pulled Pork. BBQ Chipotle pulled pork with cheese embraced by a cheddar biscuit with bacon, to be exact. I was immediately filled with the finest joy that only pig bits can bring. Needless to say, I went with that, and I will be back for the Mac n Cheese another day. Oh hail their Glorious Golden God of a pig (seriously though, it's throne is over by the kitchen)! I was even lucky enough to witness my friends dish of short rib over a cheesy hash brown medley (I will come back for that as well. Despite the perfection of all these dishes, they are quite reasonably priced. My dish was only $11! Heck, you can get a really crappy sandwich for that... I like the open environment inside. It's nice seeing what the cooks are creating, and having the smells waft over the entire restaurant. Tables were clean cut, and well spaced. The rags as napkins were a nice touch too, implying that really, they want you to enjoy your food. Our server was very pleasant and wasn't badgering about ordering the specials or having to have desert. I'm pretty sure the owner was walking around (due to his dressed down attire compared to everyone else), which was a nice touch knowing he was close by, but not claiming his greatness, by any means. If I am ever bringing family, a date, a friend, or a foe to glenwood for a meal, this will be in my top 2. Pure truth can be sought in the eyes of those who dine on swine.

After a crash and burn bad meal at Florindo's on a Friday night, we stopped in for dessert and a drink at the Pullman. I had the butterscotch budino, hubby had strawberry rhubarb crumble- paired with port and beer...everything was fab. We ogled the dinner menu, despairing over what should have been and vowed to come back the next evening for dinner. So, after a day of hiking and floating in the hot springs we were back for a Saturday night dinner. Our server was great, timed our food appropriately, brought out drinks as needed. We were also helped by a front of the house manager type from time to time- everyone on the floor seemed attentive and ready to help clear away, bring more tea etc. Yummy bar drinks- watermelon Mojito and a Pullman Palmer (which is a perfect summer time drink-lemonade, tea and clemetine vodka with fresh mint sprigs) We ordered a variety- chips with bleu cheese, shrimp ceviche, rabbit hash, watermelon and pork salad, lamb meatballs with feta gnudi, and pierogis. Chips and Bleu Cheese dip= perfect amount of cheese on fresh made chips, great pub fare. Had just a bite of my husband's ceviche but it was yummy. OMG, that watermelon, pork, and arugula salad might have been the best thing I ever ate. Fresh, sweet fruit, tangy, citrusy dressing, peppery arugula, and crisped pork that was fork tender. Cannot comment on the rabbit hash, just had too much food to consider and rabbit isn't my favorite so I didnt taste it. Piergois were wonderful, lamb meatballs super too. Followed everything with dessert and a Dark and Stormy (be ready for a spicy Dark and Stormy, they use fresh made ginger beer/soda, not your standard gingerale, and it has a definite kick). Be adventurous and try a variety here, you won't be disappointed and items are priced and sized to allow you to do just that. 4 bar drinks, 2 desserts and 7 menu items for $100, totally worth it. Did I mention we ate here for Sunday brunch as well? :)

This was as close to prefect as I think I am going to find. The service was out standing from the time we walked on the door. The food was amazing. I recommended the lamb or the hanger streak. Though I don't think you can get a bad meal.

Excellent spot. Service was top notch and the food was incredible. Oysters, muscles and hanger steak filled us up and made us happy!

This was a great place in Glenwood Springs. Not many write ups so we just decided to go there. We have bee traveling for 3 weeks and have been to some really nice places. This was right up there with all of them but about half the price. Lots of nice wine by the glass. I had the duck meatloaf and the porcini braised rabbit. My husband had the crispy nori roll/salmon pastrami. For dessert we shared the butterscotch budding. It was all wonderful!

This is one of our favorite restaurants in the state and never miss it when we visit Glenwood Springs. The restaurant is inviting and cozy and the food is fantastic. We also love that it has a kids menu, so everyone is happy. Never had a less than wonderful meal there.

Eff Juicy Lucy! Just kidding. I've never been there. But that's what my boyfriend said halfway through our fantastic meal at the Pullman regarding the restaurant we *almost* visited instead. In all honesty I'd give the atmosphere a 3.5-4, same goes for the service. The 5-star rating, as such, is a testament to how unbelievably good the food is here! Here's the rundown: 1. Oysters on the half--"dressed differently every day". I don't remember how they were dressed, but OMG, they were garlic-y and delicious, and quite frankly the BEST oysters I've ever had. 2. Bacon beignets AHHH-MAZING. My boyf sopped up every. last. drop of the maple crèma they rested on, using the awesomely dense bread we were given (after the beignets were gone). I was honestly a little embarrassed by the cleanliness of his plate. I told him to stop and wait for the next course, to which he responded, "Em, we're in Glenwood springs." Point taken. 3. The roasted beet salad - very good. 4. The butternut squash salad - one of the best salads I've ever tasted. Seriously, you have to try this. Unique and incorporates a great variety of textures and flavors. 5. The grilled hanger steak - my boyf got it sans blue cheese, which would have made it better. It was good- well cooked and flavorful. 6. My entree, the shrimp and grits, stole the spotlight. The bacon tomato broth that was poured over it made the dish out-of-this-world. It was extremely flavorful. 7. Butterscotch budino w salted caramel. Okay, so I gave up dessert for Lent and couldn't try this. Boyf said it was reeeally good. In fact, he at it all, and he's not all that big on dessert. 'nuff said. 8. House wine. A pino noir on-tap and sold by 100 mls. We had a lot. It was fun. One of the greatest meals ever in Glenwood Springs....whoooda thunk it? This place is a MUST-try! I spoke to a bartender at the Colorado Hotel and she highly recommended the cauliflower gratin, which I didn't get to try, as well. Do. It.

Looked great, great ambiance too. Greeter said "what can I help you with?" Is it not obvious we're here to eat?! She told us 45 min wait Bc we had no reservations but the place was almost empty. They have signs all over trying to be cute about how if you have polite kids they're welcome and things about unattended kids and such. I think they want to be nicer restaurant than they are. Want you to make reservations and don't want kids. Get over yourselves.

We went to The Pullman after reading excellent Yelp reviews and also getting a recommendation from a local. The service was excellent. The menu was small but interesting. The bottom line for my visit was that my meal wasn't very good but my girlfriend's was excellent. I had the "barbecue" pork, which other Yelp reviewers loved. I think I jus caught them on an off night because the pork was dry and mealy, probably just over cooked. Donna had the roast chicken and it was perfect. The rest of the meal was great.

My favorite meal on vacation in Colorado was at The Pullman. We ate there about a month ago and I am still thinking about it. I had a the local fresh caught trout... so good. Really creative menu. Try the Gnocchi salad... yep, you read that right. Fantastic. Finally a place that wasn't just burgers and ribs! If I get back to the area I'm definitely going to dine here again.

My Fiancee and I ate there on 2-9-13, as I had lunch there a week or so before and it was really good. So expecting a good quality dining experience I took her there bragging on this place and have to say it was really a let down. The food was not the issue, it was acceptable to good. We each had an appetizer and a small plate. She had the Pork Rinds (and it was like ordering a bag of them at the convenience store). Sorry, we'll take that one, although I would have at least expected something to of put on them or a dipping sauce or something. I had the Short Rib Taco's. These were really good except there were only three of them and they were the size if a 50 cent peice. She had the small plate pierogis, and I had the small plate rabbit dish. Both of these were very good, but again, not much for portion size.....I guess that is what we should expect thogh when we ordered off of the small plate menu. So over all the food was really good, and I have no complaints with the quality of it. The real issue was the service, or the lack there of. I don't know what our servers name was, but it said Chris on the reciept afterwards. I think either he needed a lot of help, or should find something else to do for a living, as the service was subpar. We even had a couple of other servers come by and ask if there was anytihng we needed which we did and told them, only to of never seen them again... either of them. The greeter at the door wearing the tropical hawaiian shirt asked us on our way out how everything was. I told him the FOOD was fine but service was bad. He told me he understood, and simply told us it was because they were "busy". You know what. I am going to help you out with that busy part guy, and not come back. Hope you stay busy. I don't see that happening though unless you improve your attitude and customer service skills though.

My husband and I were visiting for the weekend and went to the Pullman because of a friends recommendation. The food and service were amazing. The decor was trendy and modern. My husband had raw oysters and said they were great. I had the chicken and it was awesome! It was moist and flavorful which isn't always the case at other places. My husband loved the trout and we were both happy with our meals. We had the blueberry bread pudding and it was to die for, sooo good. I would recommend this place to others!

We stopped here for lunch during a day trip to Glenwood Springs on our Colorado vacay. It was great- exactly what we wanted. The food was delicious- we started with the homemade pork rinds that were drizzled with truffle oil- enough said, right? I had the grilled cheese with shredded short ribs or something, and my hubs had the special- unfortunately, I can't remember what it was- some kind of sandwich. But both were phenomenal. The food was unpretentious and tasty, and the service was attentive without being annoying. We would definitely come back if we're ever in Glenwood Springs again!

Sarah M.
Cute place, great, inventive dishes, but horribly slow service even on a slower night. I had the Eggplant canelloni with mushroom risotto, coriander tomato sauce, reggiano. Appetizers- short rib tacos with sesame chile salsa Rosa and kimchee. I don't even know where to start, but it was a lot of new flavors and combinations and I loved every bite of my dish and appetizers and of the taste of my husband's as well. Great portions as well. Smaller sized portions, but with the appetizers we felt pleasantly full, not over-stuffed. Would come back for the food but would hope for faster service. We were here for over 2 hours.

Great atmosphere, very creative and tasty menu and a friendly staff. Feels like a restaurant you might find in the swanky parts of the town in a big city but it's still laid back and very relaxing atmosphere. For someone who's usually turned off by the typical self important, stuffy decor that the traditional restaurants try to present to make of up for quality (cough cough the steak house next door) this was a breath of fresh air. I had their rabbit loin wrapped in bacon as my "small platter" and then the lamb chops with some amazing curry fritters as my "big platter" and washed it down with some amber ale. The server was nice and friendly. The girl upfront was equally up to task. Observing the rest of the staff working and interacting with their customers I'd say they provide great service across the board. great place, highly recommend it, if you are in Glenwood Springs, CO.

The combination of a creative menu and a room with an urban/chic vibe is surprising for a location outside of a city. Great food...the slow-cooked pork shoulder with mozzarella grits and the roasted chicken were fantastic...but don't let your foodie snobbishness make you overlook the burger, which is among the best I've ever had, anywhere. Props, too, to the bar's emphasis on local craft beers. All in all, a great restaurant - and kid-friendly, too (at least early).

My family and I are on vacation in Glenwood Springs/Aspen for our first time. We are from San Francisco where you cannot beat the 5 star food with famous chefs from around the world working on every corner. This place exceeded our expectations. From the decor to the atmosphere to the presentation. I cant even recommend one item because every single thing was exceptional! My family and I all shared bites since we couldnt resist asking each other for a taste. Whether passing through or staying for the night, you MUST dine here! 5 stars, amazing. and to think, in the middle of a small town in the rockies...

We must have been here on an off night because the other reviews were so positive. We found all of our food to be extremely salty, so much so that I could not finish my meal. Our server was great though, attentive without being annoying. I don't think we will be back next time we are in Glenwood.....too many other good choices to risk over paying for a block of salt.

Brandon M.
Finally a quality restaurant delivering items that can't be found anywhere else. The food is so good it makes it difficult to eat at other restaurants. The best part I'd that everything on the menu was under 20$. These are the type of dishes you'd expect to pay close to a hundred dollars for in aspen. The restaurant was a bit loud so if your looking for a quiet romantic dinner rigid is not the spot. However if you'd like to be blown away by creative, delicious, and amazing food, this is the spot.Local to Glenwood springs for 13 years.

I was in town on business and the hotel front desk suggested Pullman. Wow, what great surprise! Every dish was treat. I started with the pumpkin/butternut squash soup with a homemade marshmallow on top. It was an amazing collection of tastes. I had a small plate of goat nachos. Be sure to try this one. Dessert was the cake of the day, ginger cake with mango glaze. Don't miss this place!

The first time I went here (last year) it was awesome...after that just not that good therefore I will compromise on 3 stars. Bad service with mediocre food. We decided to sit at the bar to get a drink while we waited for our reservation. The bartender was a total crab...when you work with people you just have to pretend sometimes...not her. She took forever with our drinks and when I ordered my second wine to bring to the table she poured me the wrong kind. Then there was our waiter...I wanted to get the correct glass of wine but I thought whatever why be a bother...The table next to us had a basket of bread so I asked for one after we were sitting for at least 15 minutes! He brought one 10 minutes later with water. This may sound picky but he did not even pour our waters he just set the pitcher on our table. His explanation of menu items was off, he sounded confused and looked even more confused. What I ordered and his description did not match. The food was just OK, nothing special. The elk stew thing was over priced and was made to be set on a doll house table. The salad I could have ordered at a chain. The gnocchi and lamb meatballs were pretty. Next time when I am on a weekend getaway in Glenwood I will not be spending my money here.

Visited on 9/23/11 for dinner. We liked that the chef is 100% in favor of local farmers' fare and Colorado products in general. The ambiance is very nice and the place has a good "feel". The hostess was pleasant but was dressed in holey jeans--not the right 1st impression on a Saturday night for a nice/better place in beautiful Glenwood. Food was very reasonably priced and creative. I had lamb chops. Good but not great. The flavor was okay, not WOW, as it could have been. Same with my BF's fish, okay. Heirloom tomato salad and sour dough bread were very good. The wine list was also just okay, but overpriced! 3x plus as in the stores.

Went here after reading all the reviews and The Pullman lives up to them. Visiting with my two kids - picky picky eaters. They had the parm/rosemary fries for an appie. They devoured them. I had the kale, currant, pine nut salad. Never had kale in my live and loved it. Dinner - son had 4 cheese macaroni and cheese. "This is the best mac n cheese I have ever had." Daughter and I shared steak which was very good. Very tender, and cooked perfectly.

Went to Carbondale CO for Super Bowl Sunday so we hit The Pullman in Glenwood Springs for their Sunday brunch. Started with a really unique drink, their signature bacon bloody Mary. BEST Bloody I have ever had! There were 4 of us so we tasted several apps and had 4 different entrees. It has been quite a while since a meal out seemed so completely flawless but this dining experience was just that, completely flawless! The entree I had was the short ribs hash. Incredible meal and totally unique. Best new eats on the Western Slope hands down. Enjoy!

Don't try to eat here if anyone in your group has a food allergy--they are unwilling/unable to serve someone allergic to peanuts/nuts. This is the first time a restaurant has ever told us they did not feel comfortable serving us (and we eat out a lot). I guess I appreciate their honesty but... The good news is that we went to Juicy Lucy's instead--amazing meal! Anyway, looks like a nice place (although VERY loud, even when not full); enjoy if you have no dietary restrictions.

Fun menu with a lot of variety. Four of us dined there on a Friday night. For fun, we tried to find something on the menu we would not want to try. Everything sounds good, and all the food we ordered was excellent. My wife Lamb Meatballs with little gnocchi like pasta. Also had Turnip Bisque, fantastic flavor with a cherry honey drizzle. Eggplant Cannelloni was very good. Also have some fantastic salads. This is a solid restaurant and worth a try.

Stopped here on the way from Denver to Grand Junction. The food is outstanding. A great creative menu with a wide variety of choices. Good for carnivores and vegetarians. Nice decor and good service. I had roast pork with grits and a bacon gravy. Yummy. Portions are a little bit small. Fine for most people and similar to other upscale restaurants, but if you are generally a big eater or going out after a big day outdoors, you might come away hungry. Prices are slightly less than what I'd expect for this quality of food.

Jonathan B.
Gastropub with nice ambience and good service. Food was a bit of a mix: eggplant cannelloni inconsistently cooked through, and the sauce didn't delight; pumpkin cheesecake was poorly executed with gelatinous chunks and too-hard crust - but the burrata was superb and homemade kimchi delicious. Worth a visit if you're lucky enough to pick the right dishes.

Hands down the best restaurant in the Roaring Fork Valley. Well priced to as not to deter you from trying, let's say, ALL of the apps/small plates, incredibly innovative with the menu, and absolutely delicious. My husband and I cook at home a lot and only go out every once in a while as it gets frustrating to pay lots of money for things you could do better at home. After our most recent visit to the Pullman where LITERALLY every bite was followed by an 'OMG', we decided that if we go out, let it always be the Pullman and we should order whatever we want. The last dinner we had there was $100 including tip - we order oysters, 3 starters, 1 main and 2 glasses of wine and 2 beers. The only thing I think it could use is some large rugs as it's pretty loud in there and slightly stark with the concrete floors.

excellent place! just a gem of a restaurant with wonderful flavors, great staff and a great location. this is one of the places that you would find in new york or a great city with eclectic flavor and esthetics. i would go back here each and every time i was in glenwood!! i highly recommend this place to anyone who loves food! if you are more of a chain restaurant place, then perhaps you would not appreciate the ambiance and the concepts of the cuisine.! I had fried goat cheese donuts as well as the hanger steak and the rabbit! delish! nice job to the staff!

Brought my in-laws to the pullman today for dinner (9-11-11) we drove up from Grand junction. the decor was inviting and clean. the service was poor. We had 3 different servers. one was the bartender. we were left to look over the menu for about 10 minutes in a nearly empty dining room. Our appetizers (squash blossoms) were overpriced but tasty. the first server told us she would bring bread that never came. our water glasses sat empty from the time the entree arrived until the end of the meal. my Lamb chops were undercooked, My in laws both ordered trout which was overcooked, and the asparagus on my mothers plate was almost raw, while the asparagus on my fathers plate was soggy and limp. when we complained about our poor service they comped the appetizers (a whopping 9 bucks) off our 120.00 meal (without drinks) and the excuse for poor service and poor quality food was that we came just before their shift change from brunch to dinner. (we arrived at 5 pm.) I would not recommend wasting your time or money here. I will never go back.

When we walked in we were greeted by a cute little host and was quickly seated at the bar. We started with a nitro tap beer and the basil infused vodka with strawberry puree with balsamic vineagar. We had the pickled deviled eggs which were THE BOMB we got two more after. Then we had the lamb meatballs which were also delicious. Then we got rabbit tacos which I didn't care for but my boyfriend liked, they could've been a little warmer but the flavor was good. I finished with flat iron steak mid rare with fingerling potatoes which was so so so good. All in all experience and food was really good we will be back next time we go through.

Adam D.
Awesome restaurant, period. Everything was delicious. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching Kelly work. She makes a mean mixed drink, especially the Whiskey Mule. She also recommended everything we ate. The appetizer was the special, short ribs over slaw and were out of this world. I had the chicken entree and my co-worker had the salmon. They were both delicious. I can't recommend this restaurant enough, not just for it's food, but also its staff and ambiance. It's a winner.

Malisa D.
Bacon pickled eggs with bacon maple gastrique! The best damn eggs I've ever had!!!! Period. This was tied even with the Pierogis!!!! These truffle potato dumplings were unstoppable. I could seriously say I wouldn't mind eating these dumplings as much as I eat sushi on the reg. The Mac n cheese was good, but very rich. Kale salad was enormous and kalicious! Gnocchi I wasn't too impressed with, it was a tad bland for me. There was this one duck confit spread in a jar for your crostini's that I needed to get away from me bc it was so darn scrumptious I probably would eaten the whole jar. From what I remembered the mushroom bolognese was just alright. I think overall, the food is all very rich and heavy. So be prepared for a fest, and quite possibly a tummy ache after because you'll want to consume it all. The mixed drinks are all very tasteful and the bartenders really know how to make these just perfect! If you ever stop in Glenwood this is definitely a place you must eat at. You'll be happily ever after this meal.

Glenwood Springs has stepped up the culinary game, and The Pullman is at the top. We ordered truffled house made pork rinds, roasted natural chicken with spring pea spätzle and buttered carrot sauce, slow roasted pork shoulder with collard green risotto, crispy pickled onions, and flourless chocolate cake. Everything was outstanding, but the chocolate cake was my favorite. This restaurant will become one of my go to places whenever I am in Glenwood.

After a challenging hike and a 2.5 hour long rafting adventure, we were wasting away and in dire need of refueling. A quick yelp, click, call, settled right into The Pullman. The place is your typical faddish, farm to table, cool restaurant. Open kitchen, tatted cooks, perhaps too hip of a spot for some dirty and worn out gals. In keeping with the healthy day, I ordered the roast chicken salad, the others salads or soups. The server, perceptive and mindful, asked us if we wanted any bread with our meal (me please, girl needs some carbs). The roast chicken salad was hearty and balanced, radish for color, peas sprinkled about, peanuts for texture, a tangy and acidic honey mustard dressing. Great service, solid food, they had a variety of other tempting options. If I wasn't so conscious, I definitely would've opted for the pierogis, side of grits and roasted fingerling potatoes (really I can probably survive on just one food group). Recommended after a long and tiring day in the mountains.

Bread: delicious Decor: adorably trendy Burgers: ehhhhh The menu is catered to those with more adventurous tastebuds, so obviously the majority of my family opted to order the only thing they actually recognized: a burger. Sadly, despite its lovely presentation, all of our burgers were dry and rather bland. The bread they served beforehand was fresh and tasty, and somehow their water just seemed to be delicious. The families around us seemed to enjoy their meals, but none of them were having the burgers (which may explain that). I can't speak to the other meals at the Pullman, but I can warn that the burger will not be the juicy, delicious meal that you are hoping for.

Becca S.
Outstanding service and food. Our server David was attentive, friendly, and all of his recommendations were on point. We had the lamb meatballs with hummus which were awesome, macaroni and cheese which was incredible, and the deviled eggs were the bomb! I had butternut squash carbonara which was rich and filling, gnocchi tots (awesome!), gnocchi salad, and for dessert we shared and tried the butterscotch boudini (AMAZING), sweet potato fritters (also amazing), and the cheesecake bread pudding which was interesting (lemony). Will definitely return to explore the rest of the evolving menu.

Back again and it was even more wonderful. We had pork rinds, Crispy pork belly, heirloom tomato salad, palisade peach margaritas, the salmon, the panroasted Colorado trout, fingerling potatoes, and Colorado ports for dessert. Everything was fabulous and this is really a five-star restaurant that we prefer over the Denver location.

Five stars, five stars, five stars! First visit: Went with my partner for Valentine's Day and were treated so well. It seems silly to be nervous about being treated well as a gay couple in 2015, but we still get hiccups. This place didn't give a vibe of non-inclusion at all! We had: - shishito peppers - kale salad - pierogis - chicken with brussels sprouts - smores boudini Every. Single. Item. Was. Perfect. The price was right on point - I'd call this upscale pub food in a complimentary way, for sure. This meal was perfect for a cool night in. Second visit: Went with my partner, friend, and mother-in-law. My MIL has some pretty serious food allergies so going to restaurants is always tough. Fortunately, we shared with our server and he took great care of us. Unfortunately for her, her first three decisions from the menu all had lemon in it and she's highly allergic. But, our server was great and would take the order, run to the kitchen, and get a breakdown from the chefs on what could and couldn't be cooked. We finally settled on - shishito peppers - scallops and pork belly - pierogis - mushroom bolognese - eggplant canelloni (x2) - butterscotch boudini Everything was DELICIOUS. It was semi-heavy food but completely spring-flavored, which was welcome because it got pretty cool the night we were there in early April. The mixed drinks were great and the wine was perfect, as well. They have a sign that states something about well-behaved kids being welcomed in the space, but there were some kids in the bathroom pretending to make...well...struggle-sounds (trying to be polite after whetting your whistles with the food review!) I didn't find it bad enough to report but I made sure to give a nice angry stare at the girls when I walked out. That'll teach 'em. If you're in Glenwood, go here. If you're in Denver, visit their sister restaurant - Harman's Eat & Drink. Tell the dessert chef Becca that Alison sent you and she'll treat you right.

Excellent food in a cozy mountain town. The Duck Fettucine was amazing, the broth was light and flavorful. The bacon pickled devil eggs tasted as amazing as it sounds. The first thing my husband noticed was the sign at the front door that read "We welcome well behaved children" then the bottom of the kids menu read "Dinning ettique encouraged" Obviously this place is serious about well behaved children, we made sure to keep our 4 year old in check! My son's PB&J was about 5 inches thick, the bread was soft and obviously made in house. Turns out the bread is made at their sister restaurant in Carbondale. I was impressed by the caliber of the restaurant in a small mountain town. I'd expect this level of cuisine in Aspen or Vail. The Pullman is a definite favorite!
This place is delicious! We had the duck confit salad, pork shoulder sandwich and the bacon deviled eggs. Everything was amazing, including the service. Michael, our server, was very nice and is an asset to the restaurant. We hope to return the next time we're in Glenwood Springs.

We would rate it a zero if it was an option....because that's what we got. Zero. We walk through the door an hour before closing time, the place is turning a brisk business. No wait, maybe 80% sat. One server passed us by and asked for a second. The manager came up and asked if we had a reservation (party of 7). When we told HER no, she told us "we probably won't be able to get you service tonight." For those of you that don't understand, it means "I really don't feel like having you as a customer." We're local, we come to GC all the time, and all my fire department and army friends will be specifically instructed to never come here. A quick parse shows 65 one star reviews. How did they hide that? I see now how they got them.

I'm just gonna add my 5 stars to the rest. This is a well oiled machine all the staff works together in making sure customers have everything that is needed. I enjoyed the salmon & I loved it. Burger I'm sure is the best in town.

Food was OK, we had shrimp salad and quinoa salad. Shrimp looked like there were defrost and put on plate - no flavor. 13$ for salad- not impressed. Good service but waiter did not offer any exchange after I said that it was not tasty.

We LOVED this place. We were staying at the hotel a block away and I had been reading the reviews and bookmarked it to check out. We're foodies who are very picky and really enjoyed The Pullman for dinner. Our server Emilee was friendly and knowledgeable about the food. I think she was so great I called her my spirit animal at one point?! She had such an enthusiasm for the menu and great recommendations. We had a bunch of things to share including the deviled eggs, cocktails(Emilee recommended a gin/grapefruit one saying even people who don't love gin like me enjoy it, it was great!), bolognese special, gnocchi small plate and blueberry cornflake dessert. Very affordable for what they offer. We were shocked with how low our bill was. In comparison to places near where we live this was 1/2 the cost and just as delicious. We left there SO FULL but so happy. We only wish we had The Pullman back where we live.

Service was awesome. Food was delicious!! Hubs got the pierogi's, I got the eggplant. Both were so good. We also got the lamb meatballs for an appetizer. I Dont eat meat so they separated the hummus from the meatballs for us. Everything was delicious. Would definitely come back again.

This place was awesome. This was my first time in Glenwood Springs...had an overnight stay for a business meeting in the AM. The service was great and location was awesome. Had a great view of the mountains and train station. I sat on the outdoor patio. I had the kale and pine nut salad and half dozen oysters to start. Then I had a side of Mac and Cheese followed by the Quayle. The Mac and Cheese was super heavy just like it should be and the toasted crutons were really good. I've never had Quayle before but I'm hooked. Roasted perfectly and the broth was amazing. I've I'm ever back I'll be stopping here again.

We loved everything about this dinner! Everything we tried was amazing. The prices were very reasonable. Between our appetizers and entrees it appeared they got a little overwhelmed, and our server Tiffany apologized and took money off our bill for the long wait! She was amazing! What a gem to find in a mountain town! Definitely worth a visit if you're in Glenwood Springs!

Rated a top 10 restaurant by Esquire magazine, among restaurants from New York and Los Angeles. If you're visiting Glenwood Springs and are in need of good food, go here. Great dinner, good lunch, they even told us about their sister restaurant in Denver which I visited and was impressed by. Good for gluten free people, knowledgable. Great place for a special occasion dinner, or just a nice night out on the town. Love it, will always make a point to go there when in town.

Came here for a Birthday lunch. Delicious! It has changed my mind about oysters on the half shell. I tried these before at other places and wasn't too sure I understood the appeal...but after trying the oysters here I am in love with them. I was delighted to have one of my favorite cheeses (Fontina) on my sandwich. The coco Manhattan cake was just the right amount of sweet and chocolate. My only recommendation for the management is to introduce another Colorado made liquor to the drink menu (Spring 44 Gin, made in Loveland CO). I can't wait to come back and try out their sister restaurant in Denver.

An unexpected surprise in Glenwood, the Pullman is trendy, upscale but not too fancy, and serves up some delicious food. We came here for a family dinner full of picky eaters, but everyone left happy. Our waitress made some good drink and appetizer suggestions and we ended up with the housemade kimchee, bacon pickled deviled eggs, and crispy pork belly, plus some salads. I'd love to try out some more dishes here, and come back in the summer when it will be warm enough to enjoy the front patio. Definitely a nice find in Glenwood, plus a nice view of the thermal pools and train.

Food was delicious. I am in heaven. I had their soup special - spicy with the right amount of flavoring. Main course: steak salad for myself and steamed clans for my dinner companion. Both were fabulous. As a final their banana pudding. YUM!

Daaaaaayy'um! The Pullman delivers. Awesome attentive service without being hovering, deliciously crafted drinks, and an incredible assortment of menu items that makes it near impossible to order beyond one's appetite. We ended up splitting the butternut Squash salad and I dove into a delectable kim chee that made me weep with joy while we waiting for a burger and Cuban Sandwich. Here it is, two days later, and my husband is STILL wanting another Cuban from the Pullman. Everything we tasted - from the cocktail to the starter to the main - made me want to jump into the kitchen, put on an apron, and study under the chef (or bartender) until I mastered the delightful fusion of flavors and textures in each dish we had. Tragically, our visit was en route to a stay in Denver, but the hubby and I are talking about making a drive back to GS just so we can dine at the Pullman (and kill time at the hot springs between meals). The entire staff has their game ON - do not miss an opportunity to eat here!

Excellent eats. I had the pulled pork sandwich. It's basically a Cuban. The bread it was on was flakey and tasty. The baked butternut squash salad was also delish.

Cool spot, very typical farm to table restaurant. I went a couple of weeks ago, for dinner the night before a big hike. I'm just not the type to be able to do a lot of drinking AND hiking so I skipped their beautiful cocktail menu and settled on a home squeezed lemonade. The lemonade was decent, my husband's wine was thin but had an ok flavor. We tried deviled eggs and truffled pork rinds for starters, both were just ok (If it's a date night with someone new, maybe skip the pork rinds. I ended up wearing mine, my husband kept finding pork rind specks in my hair and we saw at least 2 other people in a similar circumstance). The salmon cakes were probably the highlight of my meal. We chose the gnocchi and the pork shoulder special for our main courses. The pork shoulder could have been more tender but it was definitely good mixed in with the rest of the dish. The gnocchi was good but it was a little dense, and the chicken it came with was perfectly cooked. It also came with pea shoots though and I'm a pretty big sucker for pea shoots as a garnish so I'd probably order it again. Honestly this was a very fresh meal, with amazing waitstaff, in a pretty modern dining setting. Was it one of the best meals of my life? No, just a decent middle of the road meal. It could have used a dash more salt in just about everything but still a pretty option if you want a hip restaurant.

Food is good, but portions are too small and service is so slow. Came for lunch with my family. Ordered 3 "large plates". Waited 30 minutes for food to arrive even though not crowded. My son was still hungry so had to order more. Another 30 minute wait. Not recommended for families.

Personable service. Tasty food choices: gnocchi, kale salad, perfect chicken, and blueberry crisp. Great location near the railroad station in old town Glenwood Springs. Perfect for strolling afterwards. Will definitely return!

Jeremy S.
The food was fresh and presented well but bland in taste. We had a late lunch. The service was quick and polite. The salmon and fingerling potato salad was the only bright spot. The fancy appearance did not make up for the minimal taste and the lunch price of $70 for 2 adults and 2 children.

When you pick a spot for your anniversary dinner and you've never been there, you always wonder in the back of your mind if you made the right choice. I can honestly say that the Yelp & Tripadvisor ratings for The Pullman are well deserved! This place was fricken awesome! I made our reservations via Yelp - how easy is that?!? When we arrived, the place was packed but our table was waiting for us. Right off, things looked good - their beer list included Rye-zing Sun Saison from Dry Dock and Pumking form Southern Tier. I'm sure their beers change regularly, but having those two way out in GWS was huge to me! They also had bourbon drinks made with Carpano Antica sweet vermouth. Definitely a classy place! I ordered a Manhattan with Breck Bourbon & Carpano Antica. It was probably the best Manhattan I've ever had! For a small appetizer, I ordered a smoked deviled egg. OMG, so good that I had to have another. The bacon crumbles and a sweet vinegar type drizzle took it over the top. My wife had an amazing salad with gnocci. She actually licked the plate! For our meals, I ordered the pan roasted salmon with smoked mashed potatoes. I honestly can't remember what my wife ordered, but once again, everything was amazing! Service was exceptional as well. There's just nothing I can complain about. The Pullman kicked butt!

This place is amazing. We came from out of town with three young kids and were worried that this place was too nice. Although it is a very nice restaurant everyone was very friendly and accommodating. There was also several tables full of families. The atmosphere was vibrant and friendly. Service was good and the food was amazing. My wife had the shrimp sandwich and I had the steak with wine sauce. We both commented that it was one of the better meals and restaurant experiences we have had for awhile. We left the Pullman full and in high spirits.

Out on vacation with a group of 62 other friends for the week of skiing/boarding. Tonight we decided to try this place out because of the amazing reviews on YELP. So glad we did. My boyfriend and I with 4 other friends made 8:30pm reservations, showed 15min early, and they already had us ready to go. We get seated and was given John our waiter who was AMMMAAZZING. He was the apitimy of what an amazing server should be. On his toes, personable, funny, knows everything about the menu and can paint a picture of what it will look and taste like. Perfect! We get our appetizers, and man, all three couples appetizers were awesome! No one gave less than a 4star on anything they had. And then out came the main courses. Man! Did I think my appetizer was good, my main dish was amazing!! I had the mushroom bolognese and my boyfriend had the roasted pork belly. We both scraped our plates clean, it was so delicious. Lastly, we thought we were done, but decided to take a look at the dessert menu. We decided to order the flourless dark chocolate cake with coconut ice cream, hazelnut crumble and raspberry sauce. Yummm!! Great combo and last dish to top off the night.

The food here is AMAZING! The tuna salad sandwich was so good, they top it with a juicy tomato and baby greens, served on rye. The chips were light and not salty. The cider slaw is the best I've ever had. Great service and atmosphere. We were in for lunch, and sat at the bar. The only drawback would be that they allow folks with kids to sit in the bar area. Young kids, not teenagers.

It's a shame there's nothing to skate in Glenwood Springs, since that's the only real reason I'd drive out there from Denver, but next mountain trip I'll def go out of my way to eat here again. It was stellar. I'm kicking myself in the teeth for not rememberin' the whiskey cocktail I had-- I even when online to look at their menu to recommend but they list everything BUT drinks. Argh! Anyway, it has a dash of black sea salt and pepper in it. It was stellar. I could have stayed the night in Glenwood just to sip (read guzzle) these for an afternoon. I went with the pork belly and had zero complaints, and my she-beau had nettle fettuccini. That's pasta made out of weeds, yo! The kale's so fresh I took a double dose-- small salad app with pine nuts and raisins, then bacon-sprinkled with my meal. The cheesy grits... bangin'. *sigh* So stellar.

I always make it a point to eat here when I come to Glenwood from Denver. I've been here several times and really love the atmosphere. Usually the food is totally on mark. However, this last visit left a bit to be desired. A little too salty and a bit bland, not normal for the Pullman. The waitstaff is AMAZING. So very, very kind, gracious, and attentive. We walked in at 9:05 and we were seated with a smile. I highly recommend this place! Make sure to grab a cocktail or two as well!

All I've had here so far is a steak salad - Great proportions of the greens to steak, steak was cooked and seasoned well; this salad made me remember how much I think blue cheese is god-awful, though. I'm almost certain I'll have more awesome stuff to say as I come here more often.

My husband and I have been here twice now. Both times we had impeccable service. Our waiters we're knowledgable and nice. We preferred the dinner menu over the lunch menu. These are "foodie plates". If you need large servings of mediocre food - this is not the place for you. And please, always drink local craft beer!

This place is delightful. We were in on a Wednesday and it was slammed, but the hostess was super attentive and we ended up ponying up to the bar. The cocktails were delicious and unique. the food was delicious and our service was great, especially considering how busy they were. Can't wait to go back!

Great service great food! Great wine! All this and still a nice price and casual atmosphere! Where else can you get that? We also were trying to take our time to wait for the rain to let up to go back to the hot springs. Our waitress was patient and put a delay on our order just so we could! Special restaurant, town and community. Wish we lived in glenwood! my favorite part was the bacon pickled deviled eggs with maple jus!

Rachel G.
Phenomenal food, fantastic service, great wine and local beer selections! Our server was one of the best we've had ANYWHERE in Colorado and extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She also gave us tips on other local eateries and shops since we were just in Glenwood Springs for the weekend. I loved my Portabella Sammy on house-made rye bread and the Hubs devoured his crispy shrimp Sammy on an artisan roll. Kiddos had chicken tenders and homemade lemonade. Dessert was a banana pudding with a dash of caramel-a perfect ending to a very satisfying lunch. We will definitely be back.

We went here to celebrate my birthday with our 2 1/2 year old and they catered to all of us, especially my son. My husband and I both went outside the box and tried something different and we were very pleased. Our waiter helped with our decisions and he didn't disappoint. We started with the duck nuggets and an oyster special they had that evening. For dinner we had the pierogis and miso pacific fish dinner. All was great!!! GREAT FOOD AND EVEN BETTER SERVICE!

Best place I've been to in town so far. Most of the dishes, I could not think of a way to improve. The duck nuggets (I would call them cakes) were superb; they were not at all greasy, and were beautifully paired with a mustard pear sauce. The seared scallops, bacon, and arugula was just as lovely. Made me very happy. Gnocchi salad was recommended by the bartender, however I found it the least enticing dish. Maybe it was just an off day for that plate. The squash was perfect, some of the mushrooms were over-seasoned, and the gnocchi was dry/over cooked. Those elements were hidden under the salad, and I had to pick through to get a balanced bite. There could have been double the cooked portion in with the salad. Mac and cheese was heaven. The plate was slurped clean in unabashed adoration. All in all a lovely place, though I can't see myself eating there often as the price is a bit high.

Amazing gem of a find tucked in Glenwood Springs, 10 min from Carbondale and probably 45 min from Aspen. I saw pictures and decided I had to eat here on my weekend stint in Aspen, and was shocked to find they were fully booked on Saturday. If you've ever been in Glenwood Springs the place is not exactly crowded - make sure to have a reservation just in case! We snagged a table on Sunday on Opentable, and this place has a cool modern vibe, and a menu full of items that were calling my name. Truffled housemade pork rinds? You had me at truffle. Overall the food was solid and menu was creative and delicious sounding. There were some things that were standout, while some that were good but mediocre. After service, quality, creativity and price this place deserves a solid 4. * Complimentary Bread (3 STARS): Meh. Kind of tasted like a small step up from grocery store bread. * Truffled housemade pork rinds ($4) - 3.5 STARS: This was super fresh, but I find fresh pork rinds to be too hard. It was good and fresh, but expect the rinds to have a big crunch. I wish there was more truffle. * Pierogis - truffle potato, caramelized onions, scallion crème fraiche ($12) - 5 STARS: Wow I had no idea pierogis could ever be 5 stars, but this one was holy moly delicious. Something about the texture of the noodle wrapper, or the rich smooth pureed tomatoes was just unbelievable and hard to describe. It's rich and savory and something everyone should order. * Slow roasted pork shoulder | pretzel spätzle, kraut, crispy onions, cider jus ($16) - 3 STARS: I was a little disappointed in this because it was a nice pork belly but needed to be cooked longer to tenderize. The meat and fat separated way too easily, and the spatzle tasted a little too soggy for my taste. The flavors were too all over the place but it was a nice concept. * Brussel sprout & bacon hash ($5) - 2 STARS: The brussels sprouts were chopped too small and the overall dish while it sounded amazing, tasted quite lackluster. The portion was also tiny, imagine a small scoop of brussels sprouts on your bread plate. * Warm Chocolate Cake: It looked waaay different on Yelp. The chocolate cake is now baked in a ramekin, and tastes a bit low quality to me due to the texture. I wanted it to be richer and smoother, and instead ate bites of the ice cream on top. I wish I opted for the apple ravioli.

So I spend quite a bit of time in Glenwood and have consistently overlooked this gem. Friends from Texas are staying with me currently and I just had to take them to Glenwood and we decided to stop by and try a new place. It was so great! The first impression was great, everyone was super friendly and helpful. They're super knowledgeable about their food as well as the happenings around town so we had some fun conversations. Then the food came, I ordered the grass-fed burger with the chips and it was excellent. Parking sucks, but it's worth finding a spot and eating here.

Holy smokes. I was EXTREMELY pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food at this place. We went for our anniversary, and we wanted to avoid a "hole in the wall" restaurant for a change (I'm a huge fan of those too haha). I am very thankful for the yelpers who sent me in the right direction!! We originally had a reservation, but really didn't need one. We went on a Saturday night and were promptly seated on the patio and greeted by a very friendly server. We started with the shishito peppers with coconut peanut sauce (okay.... I would drink this sauce from a straw if it were socially acceptable) and they were absolutely incredible! For the faint of heart; they weren't too spicy either. I ordered the truffle potato pierogies and let me tell you.... my mouth is watering just thinking about those puppies. They were topped with caramelized onions and soaked in a scallion broth. They were cooked to perfection and I can confidently say they are in the top 5 most delicious plates I've been lucky enough to taste. READ: if you don't order these and you're a foodie, you haven't lived life to the fullest. My boyfriend got the top sirloin which was great. It wasn't the absolute best I've tasted in my life, but it was very good for the price. The thing that impressed me the most is the green goddess sauce on the potatoes-- it's a lemon-y, herb-y combination of deliciousness. Even if you don't order this plate, I would ask for a side of this sauce JUST because. We ordered a glass of malbec with dinner and a few craft beers before and our total was only $70. The quality of this food far surpasses what we had to pay for it, and that is one of my favorite aspects of a nice restaurant. This place rocks. Don't hesitate. It's a must-eat.

A meat lovers paradise in the mountains but if your a vegetation don't even think about it. Although our friend who is Bergen found a few items and they fried our shishito peppers in clean oil, so they indeed tried to please.. And it was lovely, best cooked chicken juicy plump and full of mouth caressing butter. Drink selection was really fun and yummy. Would go back every time.

Chris S.
Hands down, wonderful food and solid service. It'd be shocked to find anyone who wouldn't enjoy a meal here. We found this on YELP while in town and were impressed with the food pictures we saw. Sure enough, the food tasted as good as it looked. We started with a salad and tomato soup and were thrilled to find everything made by hand. What a difference in taste. The soup was incredible and the salad had a lite vinaigrette and some of the freshest greens you'll find. As for my buddy's sirloin, he was impressed. It was packed with flavor and a good slab. I opted for the Colorado bass, which is farm raised and it was fair, slightly fishy, but I'd had bass many times prior and this chef makes it taste better than it does, normally. Come here for a great meal that will cost you more than you might want to buy, but yields dividens in flavor.

We came to Glenwood Springs for vacation. We chose The Pullman based on other reviews after calling to make sure they had a children's menu. The place is loud! but we were able to sit against a wall which helped. They didn't get 5 stars because of service. We asked if we could substitute the child's dessert with a combo of child fries and a child veggie. In the end, we were charged for a whole side order of fries. And never offered the child's dessert that came with his meal. Also, we had to constantly ask for water refills. Also, the oysters I ordered were fishy. Nothing was really done about it. But then again, I should know better, we're in land locked Colorado. However, the food was Great! We had the Duck Nuggets which were really great and flavorful. Followed by a warm spinach salad with duck confeit. we wished the duck had a tad more flavor, but you knew you had it because there were big chunks of it in the salad. Then we had the pork chop. truly a wonderfully prepared cut of meat. It was tender and juicy. We also enjoyed the wine soaked cabbage and puree of pears, I think. But the veggies over powered the chop. But individually, both pieces of the dish were wonderful. Truly, a class above the rest of Glenwood Springs! Long live The Pullman! I hope they are still there next time we visit!

After a challenging hike and a 2.5 hour long rafting adventure, we were wasting away and in dire need of refueling. A quick yelp, click, call, settled right into The Pullman. The place is your typical faddish, farm to table, cool restaurant. Open kitchen, tatted cooks, perhaps too hip of a spot for some dirty and worn out gals. In keeping with the healthy day, I ordered the roast chicken salad, the others salads or soups. The server, perceptive and mindful, asked us if we wanted any bread with our meal (me please, girl needs some carbs). The roast chicken salad was hearty and balanced, radish for color, peas sprinkled about, peanuts for texture, a tangy and acidic honey mustard dressing. Great service, solid food, they had a variety of other tempting options. If I wasn't so conscious, I definitely would've opted for the pierogis, side of grits and roasted fingerling potatoes (really I can probably survive on just one food group). Recommended after a long and tiring day in the mountains.

Bread: delicious Decor: adorably trendy Burgers: ehhhhh The menu is catered to those with more adventurous tastebuds, so obviously the majority of my family opted to order the only thing they actually recognized: a burger. Sadly, despite its lovely presentation, all of our burgers were dry and rather bland. The bread they served beforehand was fresh and tasty, and somehow their water just seemed to be delicious. The families around us seemed to enjoy their meals, but none of them were having the burgers (which may explain that). I can't speak to the other meals at the Pullman, but I can warn that the burger will not be the juicy, delicious meal that you are hoping for.

Becca S.
Outstanding service and food. Our server David was attentive, friendly, and all of his recommendations were on point. We had the lamb meatballs with hummus which were awesome, macaroni and cheese which was incredible, and the deviled eggs were the bomb! I had butternut squash carbonara which was rich and filling, gnocchi tots (awesome!), gnocchi salad, and for dessert we shared and tried the butterscotch boudini (AMAZING), sweet potato fritters (also amazing), and the cheesecake bread pudding which was interesting (lemony). Will definitely return to explore the rest of the evolving menu.

Avoid this garbage place!! Waitresses are so full of themselves, the food was good but when I pay 20-25 dollars for a plate of food I want food. The portions are enough to feed a toddler. On top of it is outrageous they charge $10 for a lemon drop drink. Of course they didn't tell us that then I complained how that is bullshit to pay that much for 3 ounce drink. They could care less of course. Have my zero dollar tip never going to this outrageous place ever again.

Way better priced than Aspen. Burger was good with nice caramelized onions. Duck confit salad also good, prunes elevated it. Decent enough, didn't think it was anything special though. They have a pig statue in there, like Amada in Philadelphia.

What a terrible experience. If you're the kind of person who appreciates prompt and friendly service, healthful and delicious food, and a clean and modern atmosphere, then I guess this is where you should be heading. Personally, I was offended by the perfectly prepared and presented steak salad which included a smattering of fries that added a brilliantly delightful touch of salt and starch to the already flavorful and tender steak and well seasoned salad. I mean really, what kind of restaurant finds GREAT people and gives them GREAT training and then pairs them with GREAT managers? Are they just trying to put everyone else out of business? It's shameful really. That's right Pullman, you should be ashamed. The duck meatballs over polenta were both delicious and original. The traditionally-inspired pierogis with carmelized onions and what seemed like a twist of pear LITERALLY left me licking the plate. Is that really how you treat people? Force them into a lifetime of dreaming of your food and service? Relishing licking the last bits of deliciousness off the plate long after it started being super awkward? Ruin every restaurant experience they've ever had before in one hour of sheer gastro-bliss that makes it impossible for any other place to compare? Fine. Well if that's how your'e going to be then so be it. I will REFUSE to ever again visit your establishment with its light and airy open kitchen and incredible staff and food. The only exception I'll make is if we happen to be in, near, or planning to go within 300 miles of Glenwood Springs again. So you can take your fancy-tasting yet deliciously affordable menu and your well-trained and thoughtful wait staff and you can keep them. We'll be over here enjoying sub par food and service by comparison at every place we used to love. Sincerely, Angrily Delighted PS: As far as I'm concerned the final straw was Rick and Kirby buying us dessert when they found out that we'd been in an accident. ARE YOU PEOPLE EVEN HUMAN?! I'm beginning to wonder whether this is really an alien plot to ruin our existing human standards for restaurant experiences. If so, know this: I'm on to you, and I'll be back. Especially if you still have the pear crisp with blue cheese ice cream. Bastards.

Had dinner twice over 3 days and this is definitely one of the best restaurants we have visited in the west. The menu is eclectic and thoughtful, providing an experience you would not expect in a town of about 10,000. The atmosphere is a comfortable unpretentious urban vibe that while bustling and busy provides for a fun dinner experience. From appetizer to desert, along with the wine and beer selection (most everything locally sourced) we had a tantalizingly excellent culinary experience. The truffled pork rinds were a fun start to each meal along with the kimchee (this would have been ordinary, but the toasted nuts in the kimchee put the flavor over the top and memorable). Dinner entree standouts were the mushroom Bolognese, pork belly special and a very delightful summer vegetable cianfotta. All of the flavors and seasonings were right on and didn't need any help at the table. One meal, we finished with a 4-way shared blueberry crisp with sweet corn ice cream that was OMG over the top (next time if it is on the menu, we order 4). As a matter of a little hint, look into Phat Thai and Town also part of the family. Neither of those will disappoint either.

We were in Glenwood Springs for a little vacation and the Pullman had the best reviews online, so why wouldn't we try it out. We called ahead to reserve a table for 4 and we arrived a little early to grab a drink from the bar. The problem was the bartender didn't acknowledge my presence. So I decided to walk around to the other side of the bar closer to the server station. Nope, still nothing...No big deal, we got our table and I figured I would just order some wine with dinner. Our server greeted us after 5 minutes of waiting. Our table ordered a round of house wine and he was off to collect our drinks. 5 minutes later our server came back and informed us they were out of the wine that we ordered. Fine, no big deal, we ordered a bottle and started looking over the menu. Our server showed up 5 minutes later with the bottle of wine and we placed our order. For dinner we ordered two of the two of the bacon pickled eggs, a small side salad, mach and cheese with a side of chicken and the smoked chicken and sage gnudi. The eggs were awesome, each egg was cut in 1/2, so if you expected a full egg you should order more. My wife liked the mac & cheese, actually she loved it. The problem was the server forgot her chicken. After we reminded him, he apologized and ran off to order the side. About 15 minutes later he came back to check in on us and we had to remind him of the chicken breast again. Of course he ran off and got it and apologized again. Apparently the chicken was great. My chicken and sage gnudi was fantastic, great well rounded flavors. I recommend this dish if you're not really hungry. After we finished our meal our server brought us our check and we immediately put our cards in the "folder" so we could get out of there. By this time the bad service was really catching up to me. I tried to get the servers attention but he was too busy chatting with people at all his tables. It took him about 15 minutes to come back to us so we can pay out. If the Pullman can do a better job training there servers they would have a wonderful restaurant. Until then I'm going to recommend the Glenwood Canyon Brewing Co. They were awesome.

Excellent food! I had the burger, which was excellent and shared the chips and blue cheese. The food is great, the service is awesome, and the outdoor patio was perfect for a Friday night after working all day! We did not go inside, but will next time!

If I could give 6 stars, I would. We found The Pullman based on the excellent Yelp reviews, and after checking out the local hot spring, we decided to check it out... Could not be happier that we did. Our server was warm and friendly, answering our silly questions about beer and some of the more obscure menu items. I went for the soup of the day and my girlfriend went for the butternut squash salad--both had us stealing mouthfuls from the other's plates. I went for the pork belly, which was hands down the best I've ever had. The steel cut oats were killed, and whatever sauce they used pulled everything together with its plummy tanginess. My lady had the mac and cheese, which she also loved. She prefers sharper cheeses in her mac and cheeses and this definitely delivered. We also split a side of the gnocchi bites, which were almost addicting. Definitely recommended. Even though we were stuffed, we had to try the delicious pear crisp with blue cheese ice cream, with the port finish. I'm so, so glad we did. So yeah--unless you like great service, world class New American, and the most relaxing atmosphere you can ask for, I'd avoid at all costs ;)

This place is fantastic! I came in with my family for a casual dinner. It was a bit fancier than we anticipated, but it was really tasty. My husband ordered pierogies which were outstanding and I ordered the pasta with duck which was also very flavorful. The drinks were especially great. My husband had the left hand luke and I had the dancing dog. Yummy!

Once again, yelpers know their food! Was driving through and stopped for lunch and had the ginger salmon cake sandwich. Just sounds yummy, doesn't it...and it was!!! Soooooooo good! The toppings were creative and serving it on a delicious english muffin is a great idea. I would eat here weekly if I lived in the area...and like others have mentioned, the service was FANTASTIC. You are very lucky Glenwood Springs, very lucky!

Service was excellent. Our waiter was enthusiastic about the menu and provided a perfect balance of checking on us and chatting without ever being intrusive. The food was amazing! I'm still dreaming about the slow roasted pork belly with white cheddar grits. They had a good beer selection with only Colorado beers, including some specialty releases I hadn't tried before. Prices were very reasonable given the quality. We spent approximately $80 for three beers, an appetizer and two entrees. I'm looking forward to our next visit!

Just had The Pullman for the second time. I seriously can't wait to go back! Awesome location across from train tracks in DT Glenwood Springs. Lamb nuggets OK, not blow your mind good. Not a lot of meat, breaded. Oysters weren't prepared by somebody who knew how to do oysters! Came dried out, attached to the shell, no brine. Eeks. Mussels were beautiful. Amazing. Romaine and chicken salad was really amazing. Charred romaine, extra generous when I said I wanted beaucoup anchovies. Yay! Shishito's definitely the best we've ever had. The coconut mint peanut sauce was great - they were sprinkled with sesame seeds and roasted peanuts. Husband had burger one time - found it average. We also had the shrimp with avocado mousse - lovely. Light and delicious. My husband has tried many cocktails and has loved all of them - not too sweet very very fresh tasting. We can't wait to keep going - it seems like they're awesome at updating menu!!!

Believe the reviews. About as perfect of a meal a foodie will find anywhere. This place would compete with the best in any major metropolitan market. We make it an annual pilgrimage here while visiting the hot springs, but the food here is worth the 1 hr drive from Vail.

For Glenwood Springs, in the middle of the mountains, I'm impressed with the spectrum of fresh vegetables and flavors. The Pierogis with truffle potato was the tables top choice. Excited to go back and explore the menu!

The food here was great. The trout was awesome and so was the chicken! The best part of this place was the waitstaff though. Extremely personable, funny and I would return for them even if the food wasn't good (but it was)!

This was our first time to the Pullman after reading the Yelp reviews. Being from the east coast, I am not easily impressed by food here in Colorado, but this may have been one of the best meals I have had, and I have been to every restaurant from the Brown Palace to Colfax staples. We are a big fan of handmade drinks and flavorful food and this place has both! I had the duck fettuccine and he had the pork loin. WOW! The staff from the hostess, to the bartender, to the server was excellent! I would make a trip back from Denver to Glenwood just for the food! We are ecstatic to hear they own a restaurant here in Denver. A must try and with two rounds of drinks, an appetizer, meals, and irish coffee to follow, all under $100.00 for two!

My wife and I went here for dinner after hitting a few other places for happy hour. I wish i had saved all the room for the pullman. Everything about it was top notch. We had a great server who made some awesome recommendations and was so pleasant that she even sat down with us to talk about the local hot springs. We had the pork belly tacos- Good but not great the thai mussels (which i was a little hesitant to order in Colorado) - excellent sauce and Spicy sausage. I would get these as an app next time because there were so many other delicious things to try. It was a memorable dinner in a forgettable town.

This place blew me away. I simply wasn't expecting such an excellent restaurant in Glenwood Springs. The handmade gnocchi with mushrooms and squash along with arugula was one of the best small dishes I've tasted in ages. The gnocchi was perfectly seasoned, and firm not mushy. The mushrooms were the best available. I didn't see how the Sea Bass with pineapple salsa and rice could compete. But it did. It had a beautiful kick and the fish itself was seasoned so I didn't have to rely on dipping the fish into the salsa. The salted caramel pudding had seasoned salt in it--the real deal. It was very interesting. By 7:15 there were no tables and the bar was full on a Saturday night. I had a 5:30 reservation near the window to look at the river. I did not feel uncomfortable at all dining alone. And the prices would be double in Denver.

Years ago we couldn't find a stellar culinary experience in Glenwood, and now that has changed. The Pullman is the new star of Main Street. We were looking for a special place for a birthday dinner and the Pullman did not disappoint. We were greeted by super perky and friendly host who watered and seated us quickly. When we asked to move outside she quickly obliged us without drama. It was a little loud indoors but outside we were quite comfortable and it was easy to converse, plus the people watching along the Glenwood Strip at tourist peak is quite entertaining. Our waiter was easily one of the finest waiters I have ever had, funny, attentive, opinionated in all the right ways and passionate about the food he was serving..score. The food is inspired and delicious. I thought it could have used just a tad more salt, but fantastic nonetheless. Fresh heirloom tomato and plum salad was stellar and their homemade sourdough bread with its crispy crust is amazing. We all agreed it was a fine fine meal, save room for dessert. Great meal, inspired, fresh and friendly! Five stars hands down.

From the pre dinner cocktails to the last bite, this dinner was fabulous. Had to wait for a table, but we were able to grab a seat at the bar and order one of their recommended cocktails from an incredibly talented bar tender. We waited for only a few minutes and were served warm bread and butter and ordered the crab cakes for an appetizer. We ordered the mussels and pirogies as our meals, and wished we could have sampled everything on the menu because of the flavor combinations they offered. We will definitely be back.

Due to our lifestyle, my family and I dine out a lot--often at really nice establishments. So when we did a daytrip to Glenwood Springs, we headed for The Pullman due to the great reviews and foodie pics. When we entered at lunchtime, the first thing I noticed was a sign near the door that said "well-behaved children" were welcome. I just shrugged it off as our two kids are excellent at restaurants because they've been doing fine dining their whole lives. It took the host awhile to notice us and then even though the restaurant wasn't very full, we were seated at the worst table. "Okay, no biggie," I thought. They gave us menus, which didn't include kids menus. "Okay, maybe they don't have a kids menu." Again, it took awhile for anyone to come to the table after that and it was a gentleman that informed us that he'd get our drinks, but he wasn't our server. As we were on vacation, I let the kids order a fountain drink and they chose rootbeer. I got up and went to the bathroom---passing yet another sign disparaging children---(okay, we get it!!!!) and returned to find bottles of rootbeer at the table. Annoying, those weren't what we ordered. Finally, our server showed up and we asked if they had a kids menu only to find that their $9 kids meals only came with milk/juice (which usually would be great!), but now we'd need to fork out another $3 per kid for a drink. "Okay, fine, we'll just deal with it. $12 kids meals!" Oh....if things hadn't gotten worse from there.... After a long wait, my mac and cheese "entree" came and it was basically 1/2 cup of elbow pasta with guyere and a few breadcrumbs. $9 for that and I was still hungry. (I swear I don't eat much!) I don't mind paying that--even more--if it's wonderful, but it wasn't! The kids meals were also blah and the fries included with their meals and my husband's sandwich were something I could get at a fast food location. Again, this was all done with the bartender as our server--don't even get me started on how terrible our cocktails were-- what a bi-polar space cadet this woman was. Perhaps the worst service I've had in 2014. I'm just disappointed. The reviews hinted at something great and all we got was a big check for crappy food and service. The brewing company in town was much better and a better value for the money. Maybe all the great reviews are because in Glenwood Springs you can get away with this crap, but even my children could tell you that even if you gave them "a puppy and caffeine" like one of your snarky signs says, they wouldn't want to suffer through another heartless meal at The Pullman!

Easily one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Food was superb and the service matched that standard. The pickled deviled eggs are a must! Joy was our main server but the support service was excellent as well. Can't wait to go back.

I used to love this place. Things have gone down hill since my last review. The house wine is listed at $3 but really it's $3 per 100mls. So if you order a glass you'll get a $9 glass of house wine. Salad was overly salty and I can't even address all the other issues with the food and service. My wine glass was so dirty and when I said something, I was met with a huff. We had the worst waiter in the world. Is that even possible? Yes, it is. He had an attention span of a 2 year old. I almost think he has developmental issues. As a person who has worked with preschooler, I felt empathy but just not sure if he was appropriate to work with the public. I know that other patrons felt the same way as we all looked at each other puzzled as he zoomed from table to table, rarely to finish a sentence or hear the rest of mine. I have also worked in restaurant in front of the house and I would have him working as a busser. When I brought up the issue with the wine pricing he just argued with me like a 2 year old. This is NOT the Pullman I met 3 years ago.

Probably the best place in Glenwood Springs! Love the ambience, waitstaff, and most of all the food. The pickled deviled eggs were yummy. The pork belly salad was amazing. I ordered the curry mussels served with a large slab of pork rind. That was an epic dish. If you love spice, seafood, and texture this dish is for you. My boyfriend ordered the special of day which was venison chops. He had it prepared medium-rare and it came out a little tough but he inhaled it. In addition, we ordered the beef risotto and that was okay, so don't waste your money on that dish. However, the best dish (hands down) was the deep friend apple ravioli with gingerbread ice cream! That was bomb. Love the crunchy texture of the ravioli with the warm apple filling and to finished it off with the gingerbread ice cream was the icing on the top. What a sweet way to celebrate the holidays. On my books for great Colorado restaurants.

I wish I frequented the city of Glenwood Springs more because I would love to be a regular at The Pullman. Thanks to reviews by fellow Yelpers, a bridal party and I picked this place for a nice dinner on the first night of a bachelorette weekend. The bride is pretty picky when it comes to food, so we wanted an American restaurant with something for everyone, especially her. The menu uses big, fancy words, but a diner should not be worried - everything on the menu is delicious (well, at least what we tried). I had the shoulder filet, with roasted garlic bacon mash, chimichurri and a red wine sauce. It was sooo tender and flavorful. After munching on bread and eating all the mashed potatoes, though, I couldn't finish the steak so took home the leftovers. Others in my group had the roasted chicken, oysters, steak salad and gnocchi. All the plates were decent size, so we had more than enough food. Service has a lot of weight with me, so I was happy to have a great experience with all the staff. The hostess was very accommodating to reschedule our previously made reservation. And our waiter was patient when we asked to hear about menu items and for suggestions on meat temperature. He also humored our bachelorette party antics, even surprising the bride with a penis straw for her beer. i don't remember his name, but he was great.

Just finishing lunch here. Good food. Fries were real good. Solid service, although the waiter forgot to get me the extra catsup and I had to ask again. My wife said her food was "great", so she would probably give 5 stars. I'm sticking with 4. Real good, I would eat here again.

No need to contemplate where to eat dinner. Just eat here. Trust me. Trust Yelp. Seriously. I got the trout and the mister got some BBQ dish that we can't remember exactly for the life of us. I also got the lobster bisque cappuccino which was delicious. More spicy than creamy. All of the flavors and textures complemented each other perfectly. We had the saison from Trinity brewing which rocked our socks off! Our waitress was amazing and really fun. Cody? Cory? I feel so bad that I forgot her name, because she helped make it a great experience.

Our whole trip to Glenwood Springs was a surprise. I didn't realize how great of a town this is and the Pullman was a big factor in making me think this. The food here is creative and well prepared. With a good mix of healthy options and indulgences. We ended up sharing the fish dish and the mussels. Both were excellent. The drink menu had some really creative options also. I ended up having a mule with Fernet that was amazing. The only thing that was better than the food was the service. Overall, great experience.

Absolutely wonderful! I had the pork belly dish for dinner which was soooooo good. The maple glaze on it is amazing. My husband had the eggplant dish which had a very tasty tomato sauce on it. For dessert we shared the spiced cake with cream cheese ice cream. The ambiance is trendy. Very nice drink list. Very impressed overall.

Getting greeted quickly at the door by a pretty girl with a smile is a great start ;) the waiter was very friendly and warm. Took our order quickly.

When restaurants are nice, they usually are expensive. As in: dishes cost more, and there is less food. They actually have a lot of food. But it was good as well. The chicken was very tender (even the breast). The soup of the day was green apple. It was good until I realized that this is like apple sauce. Should that detract? I don't know. Depends on how you feel when you pay a lot of money for something that isn't that expensive.

We went here to celebrate my birthday with our 2 1/2 year old and they catered to all of us, especially my son. My husband and I both went outside the box and tried something different and we were very pleased. Our waiter helped with our decisions and he didn't disappoint. We started with the duck nuggets and an oyster special they had that evening. For dinner we had the pierogis and miso pacific fish dinner. All was great!!! GREAT FOOD AND EVEN BETTER SERVICE!

Kisua T.
Best place I've been to in town so far. Most of the dishes, I could not think of a way to improve. The duck nuggets (I would call them cakes) were superb; they were not at all greasy, and were beautifully paired with a mustard pear sauce. The seared scallops, bacon, and arugula was just as lovely. Made me very happy. Gnocchi salad was recommended by the bartender, however I found it the least enticing dish. Maybe it was just an off day for that plate. The squash was perfect, some of the mushrooms were over-seasoned, and the gnocchi was dry/over cooked. Those elements were hidden under the salad, and I had to pick through to get a balanced bite. There could have been double the cooked portion in with the salad. Mac and cheese was heaven. The plate was slurped clean in unabashed adoration. All in all a lovely place, though I can't see myself eating there often as the price is a bit high.

We came to Glenwood Springs for vacation. We chose The Pullman based on other reviews after calling to make sure they had a children's menu. The place is loud! but we were able to sit against a wall which helped. They didn't get 5 stars because of service. We asked if we could substitute the child's dessert with a combo of child fries and a child veggie. In the end, we were charged for a whole side order of fries. And never offered the child's dessert that came with his meal. Also, we had to constantly ask for water refills. Also, the oysters I ordered were fishy. Nothing was really done about it. But then again, I should know better, we're in land locked Colorado. However, the food was Great! We had the Duck Nuggets which were really great and flavorful. Followed by a warm spinach salad with duck confeit. we wished the duck had a tad more flavor, but you knew you had it because there were big chunks of it in the salad. Then we had the pork chop. truly a wonderfully prepared cut of meat. It was tender and juicy. We also enjoyed the wine soaked cabbage and puree of pears, I think. But the veggies over powered the chop. But individually, both pieces of the dish were wonderful. Truly, a class above the rest of Glenwood Springs! Long live The Pullman! I hope they are still there next time we visit!

Sat outside as the evening sun set. Would have loved to try more things--so much sounded good. We ordered the special which was braised duck over green linguini with peas, pea tendrils, etc. This description does not do it justice; it was very unusual and nice. Also seared bass over mashed potatoes with an olive tapenade. House red was very drinkable and a very generous portion. Definitely would like to go back.

A friend told me about this amazing place kitty-corner from the Amtrak station, and I made a mental note to try it the next time I found myself out this way. We arrived around 7:30pm on a Saturday sans reservations, and were told the wait would be 45 min to an hour. We scored seats at the bar and ended up just ordering dinner from the bar. The wait for a table ended up only being around 20 minutes, but we stayed at our cozy bar seats, enjoying some fun side conversation with the bartenders and patrons. I started with the gnocchi salad...wicked strange combination of sauteed gnocchi with asparagus and mushrooms, topped with a cold mixed green salad. But it worked excellently! For dinner I had the cianfotta - an Italian vegetable soup in a tasty parmasean broth topped with a green pesto. This was fantastically delicious and completely hit the spot on a cool summer eve. Boyfriend went with the salmon dish, and the chef made special accomodations since he's allergic to butter. Perfectly cooked and still tasty without the butter. We ended the meal with the tart cherry crisp and a strawberry rhubarb sorbet. I will ABSOLUTELY be back here - great service, great conversation, exciting menu, and excellent food. Kudos to the Pullman!

This was my second time dining at The Pullman and both times were great. If I could just rate our server Emilee I would have given 5 stars. The Gnudi with chicken and sage took it down a star....It had no flavor and the chicken tasted old. Everything else was great and especially noteworthy was the salad with steak, blue cheese, caramelized onions and bacon... I especially miss the stout chocolate cake....why would you take that off the menu?

340+ reviews on yelp with 4.5 stars. Wow. This place seemed like a must try. Unfortunately the service did not match the cuisine. This place has an easy atmosphere with a decent wine list, and excellent fresh menu options at a decent price. Our server "Cora" was inexperienced with a slight attitude. She unfortunately wrecked what could have been a really amazing experience at a local Glenwood Springs restaurant with a chef or kitchen staff who seems to know what they are doing. We ordered a small dish of olives and a couple of salads to start. She brought those out "late" with our kids (ages 9 and 11- not super young) main entrees, and then piled on our dinners shortly after that. Her inexperience with the timing of placing orders was bright and clear. (It appeared to me that she forgot our olives and salad) I let her know that I wish she would have brought our entrees all together. She said she "assumed" we wanted kids meals sooner and, well our relationship went sour very quickly after that. She reacted in a super sassy way proceeding to ask when specifically I would like the kids desserts delivered. Bottom line- - The food was very well prepared, fresh, flavorful, interesting, affordable. -Cora was a terrible server (I have worked in the restaurant service industry for 15 years myself) -This was not a personality conflict, but a serious lack of competency, and most importantly very poor timing and intuitiveness on Cora's part. Timing and intuition make a great restaurant server. Cora, If you do not desire to improve on these character traits, do everyone a favor and find other work!

My boyfriend and I came here when we made a trip to Glenwood for my birthday this year. I had read lots of great reviews and the restaurant definitely lived up to the hype! Cyndi was our waitress and she was SO fantastic! She made us feel so welcome, was so knowledgeable about the menu, and was extremely gracious if something we wanted wasn't available. For example, my boyfriend's first choice of entree turned out to be unavailable when she went to put the order in with the kitchen. She brought us free dessert to make up for it! I would not have expected that and it was a lovely touch. We started off our meal with the crispy artichokes. They were delightful and the olive tapenade was such a nice zingy accompaniment. For my meal, I chose the shoulder filet with roasted garlic bacon mash, chimichurri, and red wine sauce. The beef was so tender and the chimichurri was so amazingly fresh. Everything about this meal was wonderful. My boyfriend had a special of the night which was some sort of pork dish with smoked cherries. I feel so sad that I can't recall the proper name for it because it was absolutely delightful as well. For dessert, we chose the strawberry rhubarb ravioli. Crispy doughy warm pillows filled with tangy fruit filling, dragged through cream cheese sauce and finished off with a dollop of basil ice cream. Yea. It was goooooooood. I would make the trip back just for dessert alone. If you're ever in Glenwood, GO HERE! You won't be disappointed!

Dude you can order a bone here. Like a real bone from an animal, sliced in half and cooked to perfection. Its really what I took away from our meal at the Pullman. It was fantastic. Claire C. and I came the day after Thanksgiving, which is Glenwood is a big party, and after trying to get into other restaurants were able to get seated at The Pullman pretty much right away. (Psssss it helps when its a party of two and not 5 to 10 like everyone else that night) After checking in and looking for tips on my favorite mobile foodie app we ordered the Gnocchi Salad and Bone Marrow to split, Mac and Cheese and Gnocchi (I'm Irish and really like potatoes, don't judge me) for the main course and to finish we got a scoop of the Butter and Salted Ice Cream that comes with the bread pudding. The Marrow and Gnocchi Salad were excellent. Top Notch. I felt like all that is man scooping out the marrow and generously applying it to my toasted bread. The salad was good too, I think it is truffle oil that puts it over the top. The main courses were both good. I actually preferred the Mac and Cheese over the Gnocchi but I mean I'm splitting hairs here. Dessert was so what the doctor asked for. The ice cream was divine. I pine for it nightly. The only weird deal for us was ordering the drinks. I got a delightful beer but it came out as a 6 oz pour at first when the card said it would be 14 oz. I asked the server and she quickly went to ask the bar tender who had just put it in the wrong glass. Come to think of it though there wasn't an apology for that mistake. Claire C. got the house red wine. Here is the weird deal you order in ml. I mean I haven't used ml since high school chem I have pretty much no idea how much wine 1 ml is and ordering 300ml is super odd. It does come out in a super cool beaker but some more guidance as to how much to order would be really helpful. To be fair though it was a very busy night. Overall I say 4.5 stars. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra 30 bucks and go to the Pullman and have a meal you will remember for quite a while.

We had super high hopes going into The Pullman, long lines, good looking food, etc. But once we received our food, we realized it was over priced and just "ok". We had read that it was featured in Esquire magazine so we thought it had to be good if it was recognized on a national level. I can add that we are pretty "simple people" when it comes to our food and that could have played a roll. High end ingredients and "upscale" menu design with a casual atmosphere. Sometimes I just like to keep things simple. The mac and cheese was good, but super small for the price. The Ruben looked and sounded delicious, but it was a disappointment. We will not be going back to this restaurant next time we are in GS.

Dining on small plates was never so good. We shared a warm duck confit and Spinach salad that was to die for. You didn't want it to end. Such a marvelous blend of flavors and textures that accented each other. A must try if you visit. The Kale salad with parmesan, pinenuts and currants again was the perfect blend of flavors and textures. We had wine and another dish that escapes my memory but not the feeling of satiety that followed the meal. I would rate this the hands down favorite of all my recent dining in Glenwood Springs. Go, you will not be disappointed!

Best food in town? Wow, if it is true, then I feel sorry. I haven't tasted all restaurants in town but The Pullman wasn't impressive to me. Put it this way, four of us dropped 100 bucks for dinner here and we went to the Village Inn next to our lodge afterwards for pie, shakes, and sandwiches and felt more satisfied. Here's the rundown: - Roasted Colorado Striped Bass: stick to Chilean sea bass if you have the choice - Grilled Pork Belly | Apple Butter: the plate this was served on was interesting, the dish itself, not so much - Grilled Hanger Steak | Cauliflower Potatoes Au Gratin: now this probably could've turned out better if my stupid cousin had not ordered it medium well, not Pullman's fault! - Grass Fed Burger with homemade chips: thought it was a tad dry. I do want to give them thumbs up for serving both kinds of homemade chips though (regular and sweet potatoes) - Mac and Cheese: not as fancy as I expected, or as the menu description lead me to think - Gnocchi Salad: recommended by our server and is truly one of the most original salads, the best dish of the night, by far! Atmosphere and service were both quite nice.

We had kind of an odd experience here. I'm not sure if our server was drunk, high, slow, or new. But she had a really difficult time doing her job. The first sign of this was when I ordered a drink prior to my boyfriend, she asked for my ID, I then handed it to her, she glanced at it, looked off into the distance for a moment, and started walking away with my ID. Again, my boyfriend hadn't even ordered yet, and it was really bizarre. She then weirdly returned, apologized, and handed me my ID. It didn't get much better from here, and she became increasingly rude and short as time went on. Considering mountain towns are somewhat difficult to get a decent dinner in, I probably would return. The food was fine, it wasn't blow your mind amazing, but it filled our requirements for a good meal. The dessert however was excellent. I'm sure it would've been better had our server been with it. I would absolutely hope she wasn't our server if we returned.

The Pullman was our special occasion spot. For awhile it was excellent! Great food and service. But, I'm sad to say that the last three times my husband and I have been there, the food was ok, and the service not so good. Took forever for our server to take our order, and to refill drinks on a not so busy night. I'm hesitant to go back. I would love to love this place again.

After being told we would have to wait over an hour for a table (the 11 empty ones being reserved), my husband and I grabbed the last two seats at the bar. I ordered the steak salad. The steak was grilled perfectly, medium rare. Our drinks were also very good. We each had a whiskey mule. For the two hours we sat and ate, the reserved tables remained empty and the hostess kept turning away customers. Holding multiple tables two hours past the reserved time is an odd way to run a business. The food and drinks were good, but don't go unless you make a reservation or have a lot of time to stand around waiting. Or if you don't mind eating at a packed bar.

We heard about this place from the hotel desk (Lodge, aka pool hotel) and decided that if it were as popular and famous (Esquire magazine) as its rep, then why not give it a go. We started with the goat cheese fritters, (5 stars!). They came with hazelnut hummus, a green squirt of something or another on top, and pure super yumminess. I'm also sure they were 10000 calories each for how delicious they were. For our entrees we got the hamburger and order of mac and cheese. The hamburger was the best I've had in the last decade for sure. It was simple, fresh (killed yesterday) and cooked just right (med-well was the order but it was pink but no worries). It came with a slice of provolone melted on the patty, sauteed onion, and charred just right on the outside. The bun complemented it perfectly and I added a dab of mayo and ketchup. Over all I would definitely highly recommend the burger if it's an option (this place seems like they might change up the menu). The mac was amazing too. Gruyere cheese! Rather small for the price, but the taste was definitely worth it (I think $12). I would classify this as more of a sampler than an actual entree but it beats the BS that Panera serves for $1000 for a bite of their mac and cheese. All in all this place is amazing and we will be coming here each and every time that we visit the springs. I would one day like to sample everything they offer. 5 of 5 for sure.

Yum, yum. We were provided with the brunch menu and proceeded to order the poutine for an app. My husband ordered the mac & cheese which could have used a bit more flavor. But the real reason I am a fan is due to the dish that I ordered. Pierogis with truffle potato, caramelized onions & scallion crème fraiche. It was so good that I used bread to soak up every last bit of the flavor. I would definitely stop in here again when in the area and order the same dish.

Tara G.
Very good but not great. The flavors of the food were just the slightest bit off. Risotto just a little too salty, Bolognese not salty enough, smoky dishes just a little too sweet. The other discord was that the ambiance was loud. Hubby and I had to resort the texting each other in order to "talk". I did however love the cocktails. And the staff was very nice. I shied away from the Afternoon Delight at first because many drinks featuring strawberries are just too sweet but hubby had one and it was flavorful and bright and not overly sweet. I also tried the Spring H2O which was very refreshing and deceptively intoxicating. I'd definitely eat at the Pullman again and enjoyed my meal. I'm sure I could find something that would make this a five star experience.

Lia H.
Had the special (steak) and we ordered medium. It came cold and rare so we sent it back. They basically threw what we had left to cook it again and it didn't turn out too well and tasted burnt. BUT the server was amazing and addressed our concerns immediately and took the steak off the bill. I think we may have just had a fluke entree (special) and would return. Prices were excellent.

This was my first visit to The Pullman and it was great! My daughters pb&j was on what looked to be homemade bread. The pickled deviled eggs with bacon are a must have and so are the house made pork rinds. I had the duck meatloaf and it was so-so, but my husbands pierogi's were out of this world! I will be back!

I would totally give this restaurant 5 stars, but I have only been here once so only have one thing to base my rating off of. I was there last weekend with a group of 14, and when we made the reservation we were told our tables would be separate (two tables of 7) dude to the size of the restaurant, or table limitations, which we were all okay with. For starters I tried the bacon, dill, deviled egg and really liked it, and probably could have eaten a dozen of them.. but limited myself to one. For dinner I ordered the Truffle Perogies because I LOVE TRUFFLE and if you LOVE truffle, this dish is for you.. If you just "like" truffle oil, the truffle taste may be a bit overwhelming. My boyfriend did not care for the dish saying that all he could taste was the truffle, but I absolutely loved the dish. And I didn't let any go to waste- with the bread they bring you, I soaked up the juices and gave the waitress back a very cleaned off plate. Just a note- the serving sizes are all a bit small, but you are here for quality, not quantity.. keep that in mind for those who need a lot to eat. Also- for all of the guys...1 guy ordered the burger and EVERY other guy on our trip wish they would have got that instead. The next thing I want to try there is the Bolognese- a few people in our party ordered this, and it sounded fabulous.

Best service we have had, probably ever. Emilee was awesome. We had driven over 12 hours that day. Stopped for dinner and not only did we have great service but the food was definitely to write home about! Best chicken by far we have had in a restaurant. The homemade corn crunch/ice cream/flourless chocolate goodness was fantastic! Thanks to Emilee for a great experience.

Fantastic dinner! My husband and I had the pleasure of randomly stumbling upon this little gem. Super cute inside, terrific service and AMAZING food. I had the salmon with smoked mash potatoes and one bite took me to heaven!! The hubs had the pork shoulder and I practically had to rip the plate away for fear of him licking it clean!! The service was top notch and they helped us choose the right food and wine. Did I forget to mention the MAPLE BACON DEVILED EGGS???? Do yourself a favor. Eat here.

Alison G.
Every single thing that we ordered was to die for. Gnocchi salad, peirogi, rabbit and baby carrots, salmon with smoked mashed potatoes - every bite truly delicious. And the banana strawberry bread pudding - excellent. The meal easily rivaled any we've had in Napa and other world class resorts. I just loved the menu!

The Pullman is always my "go-to" restaurant when I'm in GWS. I always make sure to make a reservation in advance on Open Table even on a Thursday or Friday night in the off-season. Went there last night to celebrate a late birthday and was able to get in right away with the reservation. The wait between courses was a little long (I was very hungry) but they're so busy that it is understandable. Maybe they could hire some more servers... The food doesn't suffer from the rush which is fine by me!! What we ate: Duck Nuggets- I don't know how they cook them (fried maybe) but they're Amazing!! the meat melts in your mouth and the sauce is really well paired. A great appetizer and was still good later that night as a late snack. Mac-n-cheese- Awesome as usual. Rich and creamy. Lamb shoulder- Boyfriend said it was very good, but a little fatty. Beef/potatoes- These were great as well and done exactly to my liking! Sauce was really good. Bread pudding- Boyfriend at this and said he loved it but wished there was more ice cream! The wait staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. The manager was also a GREAT support to his staff as well as me. He was running around busing tables, serving food, and checking in on guests. Also, I had gotten a Very bad sunburn and he offered to bring me some cream to put on it, which worked great! Overall 5 stars every time I've been there!!

I have to stop at this place every time I drive by Glenwood. springs. I consider it a treat that can't be missed. The food is delicious, high end and creative without all the pretentious fuss. go there just because or for a special occasion. Contrary to the belief that it's popular because it's the only restaurant attempting to do New American food is a falsity. It is popular simply because the food is good. We recently went with a group of seven for dinner and we couldn't decide who had the best dish because they were all delicious. The service is also great. Make reservations if you can because it gets really busy. I love it so much I wanted to eat all my meals here during my brief stay in glenwood springs. I highly recommend this place.

Ordered the night's special beef short rib dish that was the special that night that brought down an otherwise five star rating. The mac and cheese and arugula salad were fantastic! The fish was cooked well. However, the short rib was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too salty. The first bite was ok, but the saltiness just built and built on itself. The service was fine (if a bit slow at first) and attentive. Next time I'll try the roast chicken - the server said that everyone in the kitchen said it was their favorite dish.

This place is hoppin'! By far, the best restaurant in Glenwood, and one of the best restaurants in Colorado. Superb service and amazing food. Same chef as the famous 689 in Carbondale. Interesting crowd that is a combination of Glenwood locals, Aspen beautiful people and western slope rednecks.

Nice place for a sandwich and a beer or cocktail. Nice wait staff and well stocked bar. A little noisy for us but looks like a fun place. Food was excellent however the cole slaw was dripping with sauce....ran all over the plate. Have them serve it in a side dish as it made the sandwich I had soggy. Overall a really nice place for relaxing and making friends.

Jen H.
Food was perfect. A pleasant spin off the classic reuben with the most tendee and juicy corned beef that has ever come my way. The 10 out of 5 belongs to the special that day. A braised pork sandwich with pineapple and bell pepper. Succulent, juicy meat. Everything on that sandwich was perfection. The fries were okay, salad was plain, but a nice mixed green with a vinaigrette.The cocktails were fun. We had an orange creamsicle, which wasnt too sweet. Aperfect creamy blend. You knew it was a cocktail, but also a push pop! My bf had a moscow mule, which had a light, slightly crisp taste. It wasnt memorable, but refreshing. Ambience was great. Server was perfect!!!

Good stuff. We beelined straight for the bar one very hot Saturday afternoon, after biking through Glenwood Canyon in 96-degree weather. All we wanted was ice cold beer and a bit of fresh food to tide us over till dinner. Ordered the kale parmesean salad, which was delish - the pine nuts balanced out the flavor perfectly. Also split the gruyere mac between us since we needed a bit more sustenance. Equally satisfying. And THEN. We decided to take the plunge and order a slice of salted chocolate pie. Oh. Snap. It was a small slice, elegantly presented, and absurdly delicious. I've been burned by "salted" desserts before that pretty much ended up tasting like the ocean, but this was everything I wanted it to be and more. Bottom line: we left The Pullman feeling feeling MIGHTY FINE, which is really the best recommendation I can give.

After reading the reviews (and seeing the Nutella bread pudding with bacon ice cream on the menu...yes, it's really true), it became our destination for dinner while traveling through. We toted our five month along and placed our order of cheese curds, hangar steak with amazing smashed potatoes, and Nutella bread pudding with bacon ice cream to go. It was the best meal in a box that I've ever had! I would've loved to enjoy the amazing meal in the swanky restaurant, but decided with the baby that we would let other enjoy their meal too. Hands down recommendation on this one!

This place is crazy good. I wish I could have taken it with me when I left. We were a party of 6 and had made reservations. My folks are on the older side and it's a happening place, so they were having a hard time hearing when we walked in. The staff was super nice about getting us a table that was smaller and relatively quiet = super bonus points. The drinks we got were AMAZING. I love bourbon and they had a number of great drinks for me to try, each one better than the last. Finally the food. I really liked my steak and the salads were very inventive.

A MUST GO! Exceeded expectations. As a recommendation pit stop on a roadtrip home, we were looking for a quick bite. We ordered the Mac n Cheese, Duck Nuggets, Pullman's Grassfed Burger (burger with egg, caramelized onions, and a fluffy bun), and pierogis Togo. We ate every last bite down to the parmesan that topped the french fries. The Mac n Cheese is the best ever with full flavors of cheese and breaded topping and we added bacon. The pierogis were moist with a truffle potato filling. The sauce served with the duck nuggets complemented the salty with a tart very well. The burger was tender and full of fresh flavor. The egg complemented so well no additional condiments were necessary. On top of the great food the service was outstanding. Initially we were given a 20-30 minute wait but got seated within 5 minutes. Our server Tiffany presented the additions (specials) so well that we had to applaud her. She made sure we enjoyed our meal to the fullest as with the other customers around us. We will be back very soon!

Wow! We didn't expect to find any decent restaurants in Glenwood Springs. Luckily Yelp exists. This place was awesome! We actually couldn't stop ordering more things off the menu, even tho we had a 4 hour drive to Denver ahead of us. The handmade gnocchi, asparagus, wild mushrooms salad with oregano vin & parmesan was amazing. Gnocchi in a salad was appreciated by all. The truffle potato pierogis with caramelized onions & scallion crème fraiche was like nothing else I've ever had. Everyone at the table enjoyed this one as well. The mac & cheese is another one I'd recommend. So many other great sounding meals (especially after experiencing some of the menu) that I know I would drive from Denver just to go eat here. Seasonal and local ingredients is a plus. Save room for desert. That menu is just as impressive as the dinner menu.

I don't think I can speak highly enough about this place. The food is amazing with a capital A. Not only does it taste incredible but they use locally grown and sourced ingredients. It all tasted heavenly and the service (waiter John) was awesome. Highly recommend the nutella bread pudding with bacon toffee. Hmmmmm They also had some yummy cocktails. You can't go wrong here!

Unbelievable place. This is my new favorite in Glenwood. Amazing menu with amazingly unique and eclectic options. But eclectic can be a hazard if you can't pull it off...this place does it. We tried several of the small plates, soup, and mussels, and all were spectacular! And the desserts were a little piece of heaven. The food and wine alone would have been enough to earn this place 5 stars, but the service (THANK YOU BRITTANY) and atmosphere made this a perfect anniversary dining experience. Special occasion or no occasion...I suggest you make this place a priority on any trip to Glenwood Springs!

Went to Glenwood looking for Cajun and that restaurant was no longer cooking, so they sent us to The Pullman. We WIN!! The service was fast and attentive, though the gentleman who seated us (2) did not smile, even when smiled at. He let us know that the kitchen would be shutting down soon and encouraged us to decide quickly... I had the peirogies and my date had the roasted chicken and both were extremely flavorful. The waiter brought us warm bread which was very welcome on a chilly fall night while we were having a late dinner. Good prices, great service and awesome, delicious food. We will be back.

The food was delicious but the portions were too small. The service was great and we didn't have to wait to be seated even thou it was a busy evening. My husband and I decided we would go to the hot springs pool for an hour and get a second dinner after. I would go there again, but make sure to order enough food. The pricing was reasonable.

I agree with every good thing that has been said about this place. The portion sizes were absolutely perfect. I enjoyed the housemade burrata with eggplant and crispy shallots, gnocchi salad (warm, perfectly browned gnocchi, sweet potato, and wild mushrooms hiding under a pile of greens with a tower of shaved Parmesan), and Irish stout chocolate cake (a surprising and delightfully deconstructed one). All were divine with an excellent balance of flavors. I was so impressed I went to their sister restaurant six89 (one of two others I believe) in Carbondale for dinner the same day. On Wednesdays the Carbondale restaurant has $20 3-course comfort food prixe-fixe meals. I was enjoying mused and the portions were reasonable enough that I thought I could enjoy a fourth (beet salad with dates and house-made feta) course and got a little too full. Wonderful establishments with stylish, comfortable accommodations and excellent execution. Gnocchi salad is available in both restaurants (the server at six89 told me Pullman stole it from them) and both are in beautiful parts of Colorado worth visiting. Glenwood Springs for the hot springs, Carbondale for hiking IMO. I can still taste the combination of truffle oil and Parmesan. I only regret I was unable to try more things at Pullman. I'll be posting pictures.

LOVE this place! Visiting from San Diego, we had a late lunch there on Sunday. Brian had the mussels, which he said were delicious and I had the kale salad and the mac 'n' cheese. The kale salad was divine (that might be a strange way to describe it, but I really like kale) as was the mac 'n' cheese. Oh yeah, we also had a round of 'Mitchelladas' and those were pretty good, too, although I was not crazy about the slight sweet-ness, which I am attributing to the ginger-infused gin. I asked if the lime juice was sweetened, and the server said 'no,' so it must've been the gin. I wish we had tried the salted chocolate dessert... How about opening a satellite in San Diego? :)

My husband and I stopped here for an early dinner after spending the afternoon at the hot springs pool. We had a few glasses of wine, and then our meals. I ordered the grass-fed burger and it was excellent, probably the best burger I've ever had. Loved that it came on an English muffin. The cheddar + caramelized onions were the perfect topping, no need for any condiments. My husband had the pork shoulder + grits and couldn't stop talking about it. Only his 2nd time having grits, and he slurped them all up before I could even get a taste. We stayed in Vail, and the Pullman EASILY surpassed any of the restaurants we dined at in Vail. And the price! So much more reasonable! If you get the chance, please visit!

Unique, delicious food in an upbeat atmosphere. The calamari in citrus aioli was excellent. My friend had the tortilla soup and said it was excellent as well. There were many items on the menu that were appealing, so it made choosing difficult. Presentation of the food was beautiful. I like it when my food looks good as well as tastes good. The service was superb. Make reservations, because this place gets packed very quickly.

Recently, my girlfriend and I came to Glenwood Springs for a relaxing weekend. As we were pulling into town we saw The Pullman, which looked cool, but we wanted to check the menu to make sure the food looked as good as the atmosphere. Indeed it did! Needless to say, we gave it a shot. And boy was that a one of the best decisions we made on our trip! So how was the food? Well, I think the fact that we not only dined there that first night, but the second night of our trip as well answers that question. And the service was great too! As a relevant side note, it's worth noting that we were debating about dining in Aspen or Carbondale that second night, but The Pullman, with its delicious and healthy food, sucked us back in. Why drive far away when reasonably priced gourmet dining is so close to your hotel? Anyway, I'd highly recommend the following menu items: the roast bone marrow, deviled eggs, the squash soup (if they have it), the squash risotto, the brussels with bacon & spuds, and the grass-fed burger (with a lettuce bun of course). They also have a nice selection of Colorado craft beers, but unfortunately none of them are on tap (the one and only drawback to The Pullman I noticed).

The kimchee tacos reminded me of the famous Koje Taco in LA! I had the hangar steak and it was terrific. Wife had the Cobb sandwich and thought it was good but not great but this is my review! Our daughter gave the Mac N Cheese a big 5 out of 5. Great Place

The best meal in Glenwood Springs without a doubt, and likely the best meal you'll get in the valley in terms of value for price. I have a few friends who work at the Pullman and for many months they and our assorted other Pullman-loving friends would talk my ear off about how great it was. I'd gone twice and both times was unimpressed. That was until I had the strawberry rhubarb raviolis at a dinner with my girlfriend's family. It was, I must admit, the beginning of a realization, or, a discovery if you will. I returned the next week with my family and we tried bascially everything on the menu. The kale parmesan salad with pinenuts and currants - fresh, light, and summery. The mac and cheese - creamy and flavorful. The duck meatballs over black pepper cavatelli - a tad runny but decadent and satisfying. The steel head trout practically dissolves in your mouth. My girlfriend's been back at least 8000 times and orders the Pierogis every time she does. I tend to avoid dishes flavored primarily with onions but even I was swayed by them. But the hands down stars of the show are the desserts. Changing to fit every season, the 2013 summer selection includes a strawberry rhubarb ravioli served with a basil ice cream. The marscapone tart, the flourless chocolate are both great. But the raviolis....wow. The basil ice cream is made in house. I've never seen it anywhere else, but I wish I had. Much of the food is on par with your average prix-fixe French mecca in New York. The portions - while not massive - are fair. Prices are more than reasonable in comparison with the cost. *If there was one thing I had that I must admit I wasn't particularly thrilled with, I'd have to cite the nori roll. It was simply too salty. I know that's par for the course with salmon pastrami but it was overwhelming and left the dish underwhelming.

One of the best restaurants in the state. Really enjoy the overall experience: great cocktail menu, snacks, small plates and the entrees all are awesome. The chef uses fresh, in season and local ingredients in a very creative manner. The salads are super fresh and dressed lightly. All the mains are well thought out and I would like to try each of them. Save room for desert. The dinning room is open and pleasant and the service is caring. I hope they keep the standards as high as they do in their Carbondale place!

we LOVED the pullman. i have worked for frank bonnano for years and am a self proclaimed denver foodie. i thought the restaurant looked like something that could be part of the frank bonnano/ jean phillipe failyau empire- and told our server so. (if osteria marco and park & co had a baby, it would be the pullman) bone marrow- AWESOME. veal sweetbreads- yes please, again and again. homemade burrata lacked a little seasoning but i could have eaten 10 pounds of the pistachio butter that accompanied. the spring pea soup was delightful. we shared seared sea scallops with orzo and curry braised lamb shank with mushroom risotto. both dishes were wonderful. the only thing we were upset about was leaving the boxed up orzo on the table when we left. REALLY affordable wine list and the 2009 tempranillo/ garnacha blend did NOT disappoint at $34 (i think) a bottle! thank you PULLMAN! we can't wait to try your sister, phat thai! xoxoxo

We liked this place so much we ate here three times during our three night stay in Glenwood Springs. I think this restaurant is our favorite of Mark Fischer's. On our first visit (lunch) we split the grass fed burger and short rib tacos. The burger was very good but the tacos were amazing. Our second visit was also for lunch. I had a lamb sandwich which was one of the day's specials. The better half had the cobb salad. We didn't share but both really liked our selections. The third visit was for dinner. There was a triathlon in Glenwood Springs that weekend so we had an hour wait but we knew that it would be worth the wait. We sort of shared the lamb meatballs with feta gnudi and the colorado lamb chops. Both were very good. I'd highly recommend this place if you're in the area.

Excellent service, ambiance, prices, cocktails and food! I opted for the basil gimlet, which was complex yet simple. We had the soup of the day - a luscious beet with horseradish creme fraiche. My Fiance went for the Ruben and I had the mushroom squash gnocchi salad. Awesome! We were too full to get dessert, but they all sounded amazing. We will be back for more very soon.

Fresh, fun food prepared with love. They have great twists on classic dishes. I was there for a CrossFit comp, so everyone in our group was a Glutard and our server totally got it. Diver Scallops are money. Drink menu was great and prices were shockingly low. Kudos to the Pullman. The highlight of Glenwood Springs.

Wait staff is impeccable. Food is of the highest caliber in this quaint little town. If u want something other than a burger, this is the joint. Awesome cocktails with local organic liquors. Highly, highly recommended. Must check out if in town. Then check out Doc's around the corner for something a bit more local and historic. Love it!

We had dinner there last week. We had our two daughters, 5 and 3. There was a sign that said "We welcome your well-behaved children". Well, ours are. I saw the ratings say "not good for children". I disagree. If your kids are well behaved, the staff was attentive to them as well as us. They had crayons and kid menus, which is more than some restaurants. But the food was FANTASTIC! The squash agnolotti was pillowy and divine. The Scallops were uniquely dressed and wonderful, cooked to perfection. The waiter knew his beer as well as wine. The kids meals even came with ice cream or pudding for dessert. We WILL be back!

While in the midst of a round-the-US road trip, I stopped here based on the Yelp reviews. I ordered the wild mushroom wontons and gnudi with lamb meatballs. Both were amazing, especially the gnudi. A perfect stop on the way to Whistler or Denver!

If you live in Denver it is worth the drive to eat dinner up here. Get a little bit of everything and enjoy their cocktails as much as their food. Great for gluten free. Dinner better suits the food over lunch. I've had dreams about their rabbit hash.

Great food. Must try to the gnocchi salad.... I didn't think I would enjoy a salad so much. And very attentive waitress. She was super helpful in giving us suggestions on where to go and explore. Why 4 stars? To be honest, it is because relative to Sweet Basil in Vail and Duo in Denver metro, I didn't like everything... The soup of the day was a pear and fennel soup -- it just wasn't exactly what I wanted. My boyfriend had to the sloppy john... the P brand on the bun was cool but I didn't want to steal my boyfriend's sandwich even though he enjoyed a lot. Probably could have been 5 stars if I hadn't had Sweet Basil and Duo earlier in the week. But I will definitely come back!

We stopped in Glenwood Springs for lunch. Originally I looked on Yelp and found the Grind. We went there but it was so busy there was no place to sit. So we walked a few blocks and came to the Pullman. Had a great beet soup and a refreshing salad. Service and atmosphere were good.

The Pullman was absolutely delicious! My friends and I stopped here for dinner during our short stay in Glenwood Springs. The food was delicious and the service was excellent! The manager stopped to check on us multiple times to make sure everything was up to our standards. I definitely recommend this place!

Love the food but keep your receipt. My $13 bill with a $3 tip shows up as a $21 on my cc statement. Apparently the waitress thought she deserved an additional $5 and the 3 became an 8.

I've reviewed this restaurant before with 4 & 5 stars. This visit was disappointing as we were not able to get in. This was a planned mid-season visit to Glenwood to enjoy some of my favorites without the crowds. First night in town (monday), I checked the hours which said they were open until 9:30 pm. We showed up at 8:25 and were told we could only get drinks, the kitchen was closed. I mentioned that their advertised hours are until 9:30 and the hostess was quite snotty and said when it was slow they close when they close! No apology for the inconvenience or our disappointment. The next night we didn't even try since it was after 8 when we were ready for dinner. Wednesday night we made a real effort to do an early dinner, arriving at the Pullman at 6:30pm. Unfortunately, there was a private party going on and the restaurant was only open for them. The bright side is that we ate at the wonderful, new, Chang, Thai restaurant, and didn't have to decide between The Pullman and Zheng. There is always a silver lining! I will probably try The Pullman again as I have had quite a few good and very good meals there, but I must say I was put off by the lack of professionalism displayed by the hostess.

This restaurant makes me want to move to Glenwood Springs! Not only are the staff amazing, but the food is a mouth watering flavor adventure. The hubby and I ate here every day we were in town on a recent long weekend trip. Having tried several of the small plates, salads, desserts, and cocktails, I can safely tell you there is no way to go wrong. Some highlights: - brussel sprouts with bacon and potatoes - house made burrata with pickled eggplant and shallots - espresso ice cream with Irish cream foam and dark chocolate biscotti - pork belly with celery root puree and green apple salad - cereal milk ruski...a white Russian with cereal milk...seriously amazing! You simply can't go wrong and if you aren't happy they will fix it. I saw a lady complain about her food and before she could think twice they had brought her something else. I really wanted to see if I could eat what she sent away as it looked divine but thought that might seem a little odd. The staff welcomes you in and is so incredibly friendly. We made a point of sitting at the bar regularly for the awesome conversations we had with people around us. Visit here if you dare as it's sure to make you crave it for months on end.

2012 Esquire was right! Excellent non-complicated service, in a nice attractive well designed space. The food was excellent. Went for lunch and had the chicken sandwich and autumn cianfotta. Both where perfect to share for lunch. Fresh ingredients and well balanced. The next time we visit GWS we go for dinner. Looking forward to going back.

When you visit a tourist town in summer, you expect to get suckered into spending a lot of dough for a meal you wouldn't dare spend money on back home. That's why we did a little research before coming to Glenwood and found the Pullman. Esquire wasn't lying when they named it one of America's Best New Restaurants. I don't have enough nice things to say about this place. First, the space itself is beautiful and spacious. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful but it's the food that says the most! I love restaurants that try! The Pullman tries and succeeds on every level. For apps we had the oysters flown in fresh from WA and the burrata cheese with pistachio butter. For our main we had the muscles and the rabbit. Both were heavenly. Most of the time you eat to get full but these meals made you slow down and actually enjoy every savory mouthful. I would drive the 4 hours from home just to eat at this place again. Prices were very reasonable - I wish we could get something this good back home!

5 STAR! Hands Down!!!! Glenwood Springs was a place that we drove through from Denver en route to Las Vegas. Wasn't sure where to eat for dinner and Yelp brought us here. Even the locals highly recommend this place... IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT US, it went above and beyond, exceeding any expectations we had. The service was excellent (David was our server), and the restaurant had a very nice ambiance to it. It's a perfect example of Great Fusion cuisine. What did we order? The raw oyster was off-the-chart good! Being in Vegas has blunted our taste buds, and this raw oyster was so good that my wife ate 5 of them. The Gnochi salad with mushroom was a surprise. We did not know what to order and went off what most people recommended on Yelp, and it was great. If you like warm salad, this is the one to go with. I'm not a big salad fan, and I absolutely loved it! Entree: We had hanger steak and pork shoulder. The hanger steak was phenomenal, but what I'd like to comment on is the pork shoulder. Again, went with what most yelpers recommended, and I'm not a pork fan. But I can tell, if you like pork, this is a great dish. I give it a 4-star, and that's only because I've never been into Pork dishes. I would've probably ordered seafood given how fresh their oysters are, but unfortunately, or fortunately, I really wanted to try something different. Desert: Save room for desert, you'll need it. The desert is full of surprises, mixing sweet with salty (bacon ice cream). I personally thought it was a good innovation, but probably won't try it again because it just taste "weird"- in a good way. I'd like to try something else next time! The only con: The menu is way to confusion - take your time, it's worth it! And would I come back if i travel through glenwood again? You bet!

The best restaurant in Glenwood. Great, original food, great atmosphere, kid friendly (but you can avoid them if you want), great drinks. Just stop reading the reviews and go there. Enjoy.

Tried this out on our way thru from CA to home in eastern CO. Excellent service, creative food selections and cool place near the train depot. I had the roasted chicken which was juicy and tasty and we shared their Gruyere and white cheddar mac and cheese. Next time we are in GWS, I am back to try another intriguing menu item.

I am a food snob--rarely do I find a restaurant that prepares food that I consider to be worth eating. Yet I loved my Scallops on Green Pea Risotto. I don't even like Risotto but this stuff I wanted to lick off the plate. And the scallops, which are SO hard to cook correctly, were lightly caramelized on one side and oh-so-tender on the other. I'm also a traditionalist when it comes to margaritas. No frothy fruity concoctions for me--all I want is real lime juice. I only ordered the Grapefruit and Habenero Margarita because my kids liked the sound of it. If only I could have one of these after work every day! But wait--it got better. My Carrot Cake beignets were fine, but the Basil Ice Cream that came with my neice's Rhubarb dessert was to DIE for. Everyone else in our party of 6 looked as satisfied as I felt after our meal. The bottom line? The service was friendly, the prices were reasonable and the food was beyond compare.

Happened to stop in Glenwood Springs because the sun went down as we were on a cross-country roadtrip. What luck! I don't think you can eat any better than this within 100 miles. The salads were good, if a bit salty. The main dishes were incredible, though. The Rocky Mountain trout was perfectly pan-fried: the skin was crispy, the flesh was tender, and it the whole-grain mustard sauce was tangy but not too strong. The shrimp and grits were truly inspired, with the addition of grilled tomatoes and tomato-bacon broth. The house red wine is a pinot noir from the Willamette Valley. They get it in a bag and it comes out of a tap. You order it in 100mL increments, and it comes to the table in an erlenmeyer flask. It's cheap and great! The minor complaints: no beer on tap, the shrimp were a bit overcooked, and it took a while to get our server's attention at first.

Tommy D.
Oh my gosh...you have to try this place! Sat down and saw the menu prices and was shocked to see that all the entrees were under $20. But when you add up all the extras, it is not cheap...but great bang for the buck! This place was soooo good that we took some friends and ate there a second night. The menu changes weekly so Its hard to say will work for you, but in the course of the two nights, we had 4 different entrees and other plates all were exceptional. If you looking for "bulk" not maybe the place for you, but if you're looking for explosions on your taste buds, this is the place for you! Even the kids menu was awesome!

One of the best meals I've had this year. Outstandingly inventive dishes, prompt and friendly service, a short but interesting wine list; I can't wait to come back again. The cauliflower bisque was incredible, the crispy apple/ginger ravioli with rum/butterscotch ice cream to die for. A real treasure.

Don't pass up an opportunity to eat here! If you are detail oriented and want value for your money this is where you eat. The perogies with truffle oil were my choice and everyone agreed they rocked. Not the biggest amount of food served, but definitely of high quality, and rich enough that you won't mind sharing plates.

This was the first time My friends and i went to this restaurant, and that was terrible, very disappointed. Firstly We ordered different food, we all think those food are salty and very small size. Then we asked manager, the manager said:" well, I can't understand what you want to do, do you want to order more food? " We said, no, we just told you we think those not deserve more than 12 dollars just for this small size. He said:" well, now you know, and this is our food. You know, everyone got the same size, and if you don't want to order more food, i'm sorry, but that's it!" So bad experience from this restaurant, we won't forget this one.

Wow! We just ate dinner her and were very impressed. We at at an earlier time and the place still had a great atmosphere. Our waitress Krisan, was very attentive and was great about answering all of our questions and gave great service throughout. The menu was very interesting with some quite eclectic choices together with enough choices for those of us who are less adventurous. We started with the beets, arugula and walnut salad. This had a horseradish dressing that was applied in just enough quantity to compliment the salad rather than overpower it. For main course my wife had the large plate hanger steak and I had the duck meatloaf. Both were phenomenal. Finally we got the bread pudding for dessert (although it was a tough choice with peach bacon crumble being an option - dessert with bacon?? You gotta give that a shot!). It being a favorite of my wife's she is a tough critic. Both of us loved it. Even the coffee was great! Finally the price was extremely reasonable given the quality. With two rounds of drinks it was $80 (exclusive tip). We'll be back again tomorrow night for the rabbit and the peach bacon crumble...

Unusually high quality and variety for the price. It helps to make a reservation which is so easy to do online which I did 15 mins before arriving there and they were turning people away. My table was ready for me. A bit noisy but great food and service and value!

I went for lunch and this place is delicious. For non-egg lovers you must try Cobb Salad Sandwich it's amazing. For those egg loves you would love Trout Scramble, Friend eggs sandwich, and Eggs benedict.

Nicole R.
As a Colorado native, I've come to expect average 2 to 3 star food and service in most ski and tourist towns in the state. Unless you are willing to drop a hundred bucks per person in some swanky restaurant (in say Aspen or Beaver Creek), you usually won't find many places that take their culinary skills and customer service beyond a mediocre level. This is why my husband and I were both very impressed with The Pullman. Conveniently located in the "downtown" part of Glenwood Springs, the restaurant is a rustic, eclectic and comfortable setting that provides great customer service via well-trained and informed servers, and most importantly, great food. Notable dishes include the mussels and pulled pork entrees that my husband and I both shared. Unique flavor pairings, great presentation and perfect portions made these winners. Try this restaurant....you won't be disappointed!

This restaurant was the highlight of our drive through Colorado. We ordered crispy pork belly, a roasted red pepper soup special, and a lamb sandwich. Everything we ordered was amazing. Really wanted to try the macaroni and cheese. This place was so good that I'm actually planning a visit into my next roadtrip through the area.

Steve B.
Inconsistent food prep & service. Had a fabulous beef sandwich one afternoon & mediocre eggs Benedict a few mornings later-eggs not cooked quite enough (should be firm whites, not quite), meager portion of pancetta & hollandaise. Great service one day, had to wait for one meal at our table due to kitchen error on two other occasions.

Catherine O.
The food was outstanding. I had the Reuben and my husband ate the calimari po'boy. Nice texture, great bread, good flavors. Only three stars because the staff is sorely under managed. When we arrived, the manager actually sat at a table and just looked at us. Not one server glanced at the door. It was off hours but I'm not sure 3:00 on a Saturday afternoon, in a tourist town, is so strange. The manager finally sat us after about 2 min of us standing at the door. It still took 10 minutes to get a beer to the table. It has potential with a stronger leader in place.

We found The Pullman while on a train trip through Glenwood Springs, and have made it a point to re-visit whenever in the area. Visiting The Pullman starts with outstanding service from the Host, and the food is absolutely amazing! I personally recommend the Hanger Steak Salad....perfection in every way! The servers have always been very helpful and the bar has all you could ask for. The cost is VERY reasonable and considering the quality.....it's a bargain!

We had a great experience at The Pullman. We were looking for a good restaurant in Glenwood and found this one rated #1 on Yelp. The atmosphere was right up our alley - laid back. It has a pub feel to it, but we were looking for a local restaurant with excellent food - not necessarily white table linens and crystal glassware. Our waitor, Jon, was awesome. Extrememly knowledgable and great attention to detail (great with our five year old as well). We ordered two deviled eggs as an appetizer - not the best - a little tangy. For dinner, we ordered the duck meatloaf and the special which was a ribeye. Both were most excellent - would highly recommend both entrees. Prices were decent as well. We had three entrees (one child), an appetizer, salad, and two adult beverages each and the total was under $100. Perfect experience right in the heart of downtown Glenwood. Cheers!

I'm only basing this review on the poutine. I'm Canadian so of course whenever I see poutine on the menu in the US, I have to try it. This is nothing like the usual Canadian fare, nor is it good really. There's shredded cheddar instead of Mozzarella curd and a thin cream-based concoction instead of gravy. The fries don't lend themselves well to the 'gravy'. It was bland as well. :(

Great atmosphere, interesting drinks, and the menu was varied enough to keep us ordering more! Service was friendly but lacking that extra attention ( no water refills, silverware left with first course but no silverware with second). Next time we we are in town we will be back!

I can't recommend this place enough! I took my fiance here literally minutes after I proposed to her. I had called ahead and let them know that I planned to do this and they were so wonderful throughout the evening. There was a bottle of bubbly waiting for us on the table and the chef had prepared a special menu for us. The menu started with incredibly delicious baked oysters with a scallop mousse and a meyer lemon vinaigrette. Next was the gnocchi salad with shaved asparagus. Next we had a pork pate served with an incredible blueberry preserves that was a perfect pairing with the richness of the pate. This was my fiance's favorite of the night. The star of the evening for me was a grilled pork loin that had come from a local hog they butchered the evening before. The next course was a hangar steak that was impossibly flavorful and was so tender it seemed to melt in my mouth. Finally, for the dessert courses we had a Palisade peach sorbet served in a shot of Maker's Mark. God, was that good. Finally we had a chocolate peanut butter pie. The crust was made from peanut butter Captain Crunch and it was served with chocolate covered bacon toffee. The wine list was also great with many Colorado wines on the list that were all reasonably priced. I had one cocktail that needs to be added to the cocktail list, called the Three Putt. It was an Earl Gray infused gin done in-house mixed with fresh lemonade. It's the kind of drink that I would love to sip on all afternoon while sitting outside and watching the river go by. The service was impeccable--attentive and welcoming but never overbearing. The atmosphere was also perfect. Friendly and lively but not too loud. Special thanks to Eric, the manager, and the waitress whose name I wish I could remember. We will be back anytime we are near Glenwood and I would recommend that you all do the same.

Delicious, fresh, creatively prepared food! Two ambiance suggestions: No need for rock music in the background, since the high ceilings magnify the conversations. Avoid the tables under the a/c ducts if you don't have a sweater on. We started with the homemade chips with pungent blue cheese sauce. We split the red quinoa salad. Then the trout, eggplant, and chicken were great. The house red was a good deal. For dessert we split the strawberry rhubarb ravioli. Delightful! For $40 a person, do not hesitate.

We decided to eat at the Pullman for our wedding anniversary and were not disappointed. It was our first time there and after reading the reviews we were expecting a great meal. Be sure to make reservations because there is a constant stream of people. It was a Wednesday night but still full. My husband ordered his steak medium rare but it came well done but no matter, the waiter right away recognized that, apologized and brought one medium rare. The salad was delicious. The home fries were out of this world! We would go there again for sure if we are in the Glenwood Springs area.

Ilona F.
During a soak in the hot springs, a fellow bather recommended this restaurant and insisted that I try the burrata. This person seemed to know their way around the food world so I made a point of having lunch here before heading back to Denver. The burrata -- a ball of homemade mozzarella and ricotta cheese, served with white beans and roasted roma tomatoes -- was heavenly, both by itself and spread on the warm house bread. I decided to splurge and also try the trout; it was tasty but not as mouthwatering as the burrata. My only complaint is that they have a few flat screen TVs...why distract diners from the delicious food?

M P.
I have to say the first couple of times I wasn't going to give this a 5 star, but after a couple more it just keeps getting better. A winner of one of the top new restaurants in the United States had me wondering what I had been missing, but as I explored the menu I soon found out why...great food and great combinations of ingredients that you sometimes wonder how they came together. They do wine by the "inch" at the bar and have a lot of wine and beer tasting events. Don't miss meatball Tuesdays which is bread, wine, salad, spaghetti/meatball and apple cobbler desert for $18. Don't miss this restaurant when in town

Corinne E.
Pullman was recommended by the front desk gal at our hotel while in town. So glad we went! Tacos on the appetizer menu are outstanding! I'd go back for plates of those all the time if I lived closer. Dessert: Nutella Bread Pudding w/bacon ice cream--wow! Okay, the bacon ice cream was not as good as I had hoped, I'd prefer crunchy bacon bits on top instead of soft chewy pieces mixed in, however it pairs well with the caramel and bread pudding. We were very impressed with The Pullman; great food, modern atmosphere, service was nothing outstanding but not bad either. Dinner plates run about $20, 'small plates' run about $10. Great place to grab food while passing through or staying close.

Gnocchi salad worth going for alone. Baba beer, wonderful with it. Lamb sandwich a bit greasy, heavy, as was short rib sandwich. Bread amazing. Odd feeling there. Almost snippy with us. Uppity? I would say price range high, but average for here. Chicken cordon blue sandwich was great according to teen we brought with us. Oysters unique, cucumber flavor, but no Tabasco brought with them...which we are used too. Overall worth the salads. Seriously good. My teen not crazy about Lamb, asked for rest of my salad. Painful for me! What we parents sacrifice!

Amazing menu and great service! We enjoyed an absolutely delicious dinner here on a Monday evening with our three year old son. Even on a Monday, they were busy, so I recommend reservations. They were very accommodating and even returned my phone call regarding my concerns about bringing our son with us. They assured me that well-behaved guests of all ages are welcome (: There's something for everyone on their menu and we enjoyed appetizers, entrees, desserts & wine. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Thank you!!!

The fourth time here. I travel for business alone quite often, I think I was alone twice and had a companion twice. Everytime the food , the service and the ambiance were very good, when the place was packed or moderately busy. Staff is always fun, friendly without trying too hard. Tonite I had the grass fed burger with greens. Usually, I would rather have a green chile than caramelized onions, they finish the onions with sherry vinegar and brown sugar....perfect. I love bread but their homemade English muffin roll was super, it did not overwhelm the burger, I might need to rethink my love for big ciabatta rolls.

The Pullman a is restaurant that can stand toe to toe with anything in Denver and probably the best of Portland, Chicago, LA, San Francisco & New York. I've come to believe there is no decent food in the mountains, and that most mountain restaurants rely on the tourist trade, so they make only "edible" food so the tourist pays their bill and leaves. The Pullman was one of only two exceptions I have found in the mountains (the other being the "Laughing Horse" food truck in Breckenridge). The Pullman was a total surprise, the food, the service and the atmosphere are excellent. I wish it was in Denver (where I live) so I could go weekly, instead of the several times per year, I will make the 3 hour trip to eat there. If you are within 100 miles of this restaurant, make a detour and enjoy an excellent meal and a great experience.

Went here with three of my co-workers. The menu looked impressive (most of which I needed deciphered). Our waitress Raquel was friendly and more than happy to discuss the menu and make recommendations. I got the burger after some waffling (the fish sounded good). The burger was good (apparently free range and some other nice sounding things) and cooked right, topped with carmelized onions and cheese. The string fries were a bit too salty though. I have two vegetarian co-workers...one enjoyed her eggplant canneloni. The other received a squash dish with the bacon in it that she had requested be not in the dish. Then she asked for the mac and cheese instead after deciding she didn't want them to try making it again. Sadly, she was charged for the mac and cheese (but at least not for the bacon squash dish), which made her less satisfied. Overall, some hits some misses, I would think about returning, but would probably try some other places first.

We stopped here for lunch during a day trip to Glenwood Springs on our Colorado vacay. It was great- exactly what we wanted. The food was delicious- we started with the homemade pork rinds that were drizzled with truffle oil- enough said, right? I had the grilled cheese with shredded short ribs or something, and my hubs had the special- unfortunately, I can't remember what it was- some kind of sandwich. But both were phenomenal. The food was unpretentious and tasty, and the service was attentive without being annoying. We would definitely come back if we're ever in Glenwood Springs again!

Jessica R.
Wow, where to start! If you like ecclectic dining, then this place is for you! The restaurant atmosphere is upscale, however, being in a tourist town, you can walk in with a tank top and flip flops, and still enjoy the great food. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary, so we went all out. For appetizers, we started with the gruyere cheese and ham fritters with strawberry preserve glaze/sauce...absolutely phenomenal, if you love gruyere cheese, it is definitely for you. We also had the bone marrow, in addition to the fritters, and that was fantastic as well, it was served with caramelized onions and grilled bread...if you aren't into trying new and ecclectic menu options, then this place may not be for you. On to the main course! I ordered the curry lamb with an additional side of the bacon mash potatoes. The lamb was so tender it was falling apart, cooked perfectly and very flavorful, by far one of the best lamb dishes I have had to date. I happen to love swine in its entirety, so the bacon mash tatoes were very delicious. The bacon was full of hickory smoked goodness, superb! My husband had the diver scallops, which were also perfectly cooked, served with a demi glaze. Not the best scallops we have ever had, but nonetheless, great. The portions were perfect me, however my husband thought they were a bit small. We didn't make it to desert because we were so stuffed with appetizers as well as the best sourdough bread they serve complimentary. The only reason why it wasn't a full 5 stars was due to the alcoholic beverages we chose. My husband had the sangria, housemade, which was made with white wine (we are predominantly red wine drinkers) so it was just okay. I had a mixed drink, which I can't recall the name of because it was mediocre. Other than the drinks, the food and atmosphere were fantastic! We will definitely going back again!

Amazing, by far my favorite restaurant in town when we can afford it. I've had the strangest dishes there that always end up being so delicious.

Absolutely must visit. Both food and drink were incredible! The gnocchi salad was incredible. Drinks were excellent as well. Having recently visited Alinea, Moto, and Next in Chicago, this was equally as satisfying!

Good eats, for sure! Interesting variations on everyday meals. Awesome decor--has an industrial, loft-like feel to it. This restaurant was recommended to us by a local. Locals know best!

After a crash and burn bad meal at Florindo's on a Friday night, we stopped in for dessert and a drink at the Pullman. I had the butterscotch budino, hubby had strawberry rhubarb crumble- paired with port and beer...everything was fab. We ogled the dinner menu, despairing over what should have been and vowed to come back the next evening for dinner. So, after a day of hiking and floating in the hot springs we were back for a Saturday night dinner. Our server was great, timed our food appropriately, brought out drinks as needed. We were also helped by a front of the house manager type from time to time- everyone on the floor seemed attentive and ready to help clear away, bring more tea etc. Yummy bar drinks- watermelon Mojito and a Pullman Palmer (which is a perfect summer time drink-lemonade, tea and clemetine vodka with fresh mint sprigs) We ordered a variety- chips with bleu cheese, shrimp ceviche, rabbit hash, watermelon and pork salad, lamb meatballs with feta gnudi, and pierogis. Chips and Bleu Cheese dip= perfect amount of cheese on fresh made chips, great pub fare. Had just a bite of my husband's ceviche but it was yummy. OMG, that watermelon, pork, and arugula salad might have been the best thing I ever ate. Fresh, sweet fruit, tangy, citrusy dressing, peppery arugula, and crisped pork that was fork tender. Cannot comment on the rabbit hash, just had too much food to consider and rabbit isn't my favorite so I didnt taste it. Piergois were wonderful, lamb meatballs super too. Followed everything with dessert and a Dark and Stormy (be ready for a spicy Dark and Stormy, they use fresh made ginger beer/soda, not your standard gingerale, and it has a definite kick). Be adventurous and try a variety here, you won't be disappointed and items are priced and sized to allow you to do just that. 4 bar drinks, 2 desserts and 7 menu items for $100, totally worth it. Did I mention we ate here for Sunday brunch as well? :)

This was as close to prefect as I think I am going to find. The service was out standing from the time we walked on the door. The food was amazing. I recommended the lamb or the hanger streak. Though I don't think you can get a bad meal.

This was a great place in Glenwood Springs. Not many write ups so we just decided to go there. We have bee traveling for 3 weeks and have been to some really nice places. This was right up there with all of them but about half the price. Lots of nice wine by the glass. I had the duck meatloaf and the porcini braised rabbit. My husband had the crispy nori roll/salmon pastrami. For dessert we shared the butterscotch budding. It was all wonderful!

This is one of our favorite restaurants in the state and never miss it when we visit Glenwood Springs. The restaurant is inviting and cozy and the food is fantastic. We also love that it has a kids menu, so everyone is happy. Never had a less than wonderful meal there.

Cute place, great, inventive dishes, but horribly slow service even on a slower night. I had the Eggplant canelloni with mushroom risotto, coriander tomato sauce, reggiano. Appetizers- short rib tacos with sesame chile salsa Rosa and kimchee. I don't even know where to start, but it was a lot of new flavors and combinations and I loved every bite of my dish and appetizers and of the taste of my husband's as well. Great portions as well. Smaller sized portions, but with the appetizers we felt pleasantly full, not over-stuffed. Would come back for the food but would hope for faster service. We were here for over 2 hours.

Great atmosphere, very creative and tasty menu and a friendly staff. Feels like a restaurant you might find in the swanky parts of the town in a big city but it's still laid back and very relaxing atmosphere. For someone who's usually turned off by the typical self important, stuffy decor that the traditional restaurants try to present to make of up for quality (cough cough the steak house next door) this was a breath of fresh air. I had their rabbit loin wrapped in bacon as my "small platter" and then the lamb chops with some amazing curry fritters as my "big platter" and washed it down with some amber ale. The server was nice and friendly. The girl upfront was equally up to task. Observing the rest of the staff working and interacting with their customers I'd say they provide great service across the board. great place, highly recommend it, if you are in Glenwood Springs, CO.

The combination of a creative menu and a room with an urban/chic vibe is surprising for a location outside of a city. Great food...the slow-cooked pork shoulder with mozzarella grits and the roasted chicken were fantastic...but don't let your foodie snobbishness make you overlook the burger, which is among the best I've ever had, anywhere. Props, too, to the bar's emphasis on local craft beers. All in all, a great restaurant - and kid-friendly, too (at least early).

My family and I are on vacation in Glenwood Springs/Aspen for our first time. We are from San Francisco where you cannot beat the 5 star food with famous chefs from around the world working on every corner. This place exceeded our expectations. From the decor to the atmosphere to the presentation. I cant even recommend one item because every single thing was exceptional! My family and I all shared bites since we couldnt resist asking each other for a taste. Whether passing through or staying for the night, you MUST dine here! 5 stars, amazing. and to think, in the middle of a small town in the rockies...

We must have been here on an off night because the other reviews were so positive. We found all of our food to be extremely salty, so much so that I could not finish my meal. Our server was great though, attentive without being annoying. I don't think we will be back next time we are in Glenwood.....too many other good choices to risk over paying for a block of salt.

The first time I went here (last year) it was awesome...after that just not that good therefore I will compromise on 3 stars. Bad service with mediocre food. We decided to sit at the bar to get a drink while we waited for our reservation. The bartender was a total crab...when you work with people you just have to pretend sometimes...not her. She took forever with our drinks and when I ordered my second wine to bring to the table she poured me the wrong kind. Then there was our waiter...I wanted to get the correct glass of wine but I thought whatever why be a bother...The table next to us had a basket of bread so I asked for one after we were sitting for at least 15 minutes! He brought one 10 minutes later with water. This may sound picky but he did not even pour our waters he just set the pitcher on our table. His explanation of menu items was off, he sounded confused and looked even more confused. What I ordered and his description did not match. The food was just OK, nothing special. The elk stew thing was over priced and was made to be set on a doll house table. The salad I could have ordered at a chain. The gnocchi and lamb meatballs were pretty. Next time when I am on a weekend getaway in Glenwood I will not be spending my money here.

Visited on 9/23/11 for dinner. We liked that the chef is 100% in favor of local farmers' fare and Colorado products in general. The ambiance is very nice and the place has a good "feel". The hostess was pleasant but was dressed in holey jeans--not the right 1st impression on a Saturday night for a nice/better place in beautiful Glenwood. Food was very reasonably priced and creative. I had lamb chops. Good but not great. The flavor was okay, not WOW, as it could have been. Same with my BF's fish, okay. Heirloom tomato salad and sour dough bread were very good. The wine list was also just okay, but overpriced! 3x plus as in the stores.

Finally a quality restaurant delivering items that can't be found anywhere else. The food is so good it makes it difficult to eat at other restaurants. The best part I'd that everything on the menu was under 20$. These are the type of dishes you'd expect to pay close to a hundred dollars for in aspen. The restaurant was a bit loud so if your looking for a quiet romantic dinner rigid is not the spot. However if you'd like to be blown away by creative, delicious, and amazing food, this is the spot.Local to Glenwood springs for 13 years.

I was in town on business and the hotel front desk suggested Pullman. Wow, what great surprise! Every dish was treat. I started with the pumpkin/butternut squash soup with a homemade marshmallow on top. It was an amazing collection of tastes. I had a small plate of goat nachos. Be sure to try this one. Dessert was the cake of the day, ginger cake with mango glaze. Don't miss this place!

Went here after reading all the reviews and The Pullman lives up to them. Visiting with my two kids - picky picky eaters. They had the parm/rosemary fries for an appie. They devoured them. I had the kale, currant, pine nut salad. Never had kale in my live and loved it. Dinner - son had 4 cheese macaroni and cheese. "This is the best mac n cheese I have ever had." Daughter and I shared steak which was very good. Very tender, and cooked perfectly.

Went to Carbondale CO for Super Bowl Sunday so we hit The Pullman in Glenwood Springs for their Sunday brunch. Started with a really unique drink, their signature bacon bloody Mary. BEST Bloody I have ever had! There were 4 of us so we tasted several apps and had 4 different entrees. It has been quite a while since a meal out seemed so completely flawless but this dining experience was just that, completely flawless! The entree I had was the short ribs hash. Incredible meal and totally unique. Best new eats on the Western Slope hands down. Enjoy!

Don't try to eat here if anyone in your group has a food allergy--they are unwilling/unable to serve someone allergic to peanuts/nuts. This is the first time a restaurant has ever told us they did not feel comfortable serving us (and we eat out a lot). I guess I appreciate their honesty but... The good news is that we went to Juicy Lucy's instead--amazing meal! Anyway, looks like a nice place (although VERY loud, even when not full); enjoy if you have no dietary restrictions.

Fun menu with a lot of variety. Four of us dined there on a Friday night. For fun, we tried to find something on the menu we would not want to try. Everything sounds good, and all the food we ordered was excellent. My wife Lamb Meatballs with little gnocchi like pasta. Also had Turnip Bisque, fantastic flavor with a cherry honey drizzle. Eggplant Cannelloni was very good. Also have some fantastic salads. This is a solid restaurant and worth a try.

Piglet A.
Stopped here on the way from Denver to Grand Junction. The food is outstanding. A great creative menu with a wide variety of choices. Good for carnivores and vegetarians. Nice decor and good service. I had roast pork with grits and a bacon gravy. Yummy. Portions are a little bit small. Fine for most people and similar to other upscale restaurants, but if you are generally a big eater or going out after a big day outdoors, you might come away hungry. Prices are slightly less than what I'd expect for this quality of food.

Jonathan B.
Gastropub with nice ambience and good service. Food was a bit of a mix: eggplant cannelloni inconsistently cooked through, and the sauce didn't delight; pumpkin cheesecake was poorly executed with gelatinous chunks and too-hard crust - but the burrata was superb and homemade kimchi delicious. Worth a visit if you're lucky enough to pick the right dishes.

Hands down the best restaurant in the Roaring Fork Valley. Well priced to as not to deter you from trying, let's say, ALL of the apps/small plates, incredibly innovative with the menu, and absolutely delicious. My husband and I cook at home a lot and only go out every once in a while as it gets frustrating to pay lots of money for things you could do better at home. After our most recent visit to the Pullman where LITERALLY every bite was followed by an 'OMG', we decided that if we go out, let it always be the Pullman and we should order whatever we want. The last dinner we had there was $100 including tip - we order oysters, 3 starters, 1 main and 2 glasses of wine and 2 beers. The only thing I think it could use is some large rugs as it's pretty loud in there and slightly stark with the concrete floors.

Good food, we experimented and tried some specials. Rabbit, duck, and the pulled pork. All were good. If you like rhubarb, they have the dessert for you. If you don't like tart desserts, pick something else.

excellent place! just a gem of a restaurant with wonderful flavors, great staff and a great location. this is one of the places that you would find in new york or a great city with eclectic flavor and esthetics. i would go back here each and every time i was in glenwood!! i highly recommend this place to anyone who loves food! if you are more of a chain restaurant place, then perhaps you would not appreciate the ambiance and the concepts of the cuisine.! I had fried goat cheese donuts as well as the hanger steak and the rabbit! delish! nice job to the staff!

Brought my in-laws to the pullman today for dinner (9-11-11) we drove up from Grand junction. the decor was inviting and clean. the service was poor. We had 3 different servers. one was the bartender. we were left to look over the menu for about 10 minutes in a nearly empty dining room. Our appetizers (squash blossoms) were overpriced but tasty. the first server told us she would bring bread that never came. our water glasses sat empty from the time the entree arrived until the end of the meal. my Lamb chops were undercooked, My in laws both ordered trout which was overcooked, and the asparagus on my mothers plate was almost raw, while the asparagus on my fathers plate was soggy and limp. when we complained about our poor service they comped the appetizers (a whopping 9 bucks) off our 120.00 meal (without drinks) and the excuse for poor service and poor quality food was that we came just before their shift change from brunch to dinner. (we arrived at 5 pm.) I would not recommend wasting your time or money here. I will never go back.

Eff Juicy Lucy! Just kidding. I've never been there. But that's what my boyfriend said halfway through our fantastic meal at the Pullman regarding the restaurant we *almost* visited instead. In all honesty I'd give the atmosphere a 3.5-4, same goes for the service. The 5-star rating, as such, is a testament to how unbelievably good the food is here! Here's the rundown: 1. Oysters on the half--"dressed differently every day". I don't remember how they were dressed, but OMG, they were garlic-y and delicious, and quite frankly the BEST oysters I've ever had. 2. Bacon beignets AHHH-MAZING. My boyf sopped up every. last. drop of the maple crèma they rested on, using the awesomely dense bread we were given (after the beignets were gone). I was honestly a little embarrassed by the cleanliness of his plate. I told him to stop and wait for the next course, to which he responded, "Em, we're in Glenwood springs." Point taken. 3. The roasted beet salad - very good. 4. The butternut squash salad - one of the best salads I've ever tasted. Seriously, you have to try this. Unique and incorporates a great variety of textures and flavors. 5. The grilled hanger steak - my boyf got it sans blue cheese, which would have made it better. It was good- well cooked and flavorful. 6. My entree, the shrimp and grits, stole the spotlight. The bacon tomato broth that was poured over it made the dish out-of-this-world. It was extremely flavorful. 7. Butterscotch budino w salted caramel. Okay, so I gave up dessert for Lent and couldn't try this. Boyf said it was reeeally good. In fact, he at it all, and he's not all that big on dessert. 'nuff said. 8. House wine. A pino noir on-tap and sold by 100 mls. We had a lot. It was fun. One of the greatest meals ever in Glenwood Springs....whoooda thunk it? This place is a MUST-try! I spoke to a bartender at the Colorado Hotel and she highly recommended the cauliflower gratin, which I didn't get to try, as well. Do. It.

Candis H.
Looked great, great ambiance too. Greeter said "what can I help you with?" Is it not obvious we're here to eat?! She told us 45 min wait Bc we had no reservations but the place was almost empty. They have signs all over trying to be cute about how if you have polite kids they're welcome and things about unattended kids and such. I think they want to be nicer restaurant than they are. Want you to make reservations and don't want kids. Get over yourselves.

We went to The Pullman after reading excellent Yelp reviews and also getting a recommendation from a local. The service was excellent. The menu was small but interesting. The bottom line for my visit was that my meal wasn't very good but my girlfriend's was excellent. I had the "barbecue" pork, which other Yelp reviewers loved. I think I jus caught them on an off night because the pork was dry and mealy, probably just over cooked. Donna had the roast chicken and it was perfect. The rest of the meal was great.

My Country tis of thee, How fine your food can be, Here at The Pull-man! Standard American food has never looked so good. Drooling over dish after dish I could hardly make it though half of the menu when I found Mac n Cheese with Guerre. I almost cried on the spot. What a beautiful molding of such magical creations! How I managed to read on, still boggles my mind, but I am glad I did, for I found my life blood, Pulled Pork. BBQ Chipotle pulled pork with cheese embraced by a cheddar biscuit with bacon, to be exact. I was immediately filled with the finest joy that only pig bits can bring. Needless to say, I went with that, and I will be back for the Mac n Cheese another day. Oh hail their Glorious Golden God of a pig (seriously though, it's throne is over by the kitchen)! I was even lucky enough to witness my friends dish of short rib over a cheesy hash brown medley (I will come back for that as well. Despite the perfection of all these dishes, they are quite reasonably priced. My dish was only $11! Heck, you can get a really crappy sandwich for that... I like the open environment inside. It's nice seeing what the cooks are creating, and having the smells waft over the entire restaurant. Tables were clean cut, and well spaced. The rags as napkins were a nice touch too, implying that really, they want you to enjoy your food. Our server was very pleasant and wasn't badgering about ordering the specials or having to have desert. I'm pretty sure the owner was walking around (due to his dressed down attire compared to everyone else), which was a nice touch knowing he was close by, but not claiming his greatness, by any means. If I am ever bringing family, a date, a friend, or a foe to glenwood for a meal, this will be in my top 2. Pure truth can be sought in the eyes of those who dine on swine.

My favorite meal on vacation in Colorado was at The Pullman. We ate there about a month ago and I am still thinking about it. I had a the local fresh caught trout... so good. Really creative menu. Try the Gnocchi salad... yep, you read that right. Fantastic. Finally a place that wasn't just burgers and ribs! If I get back to the area I'm definitely going to dine here again.

My Fiancee and I ate there on 2-9-13, as I had lunch there a week or so before and it was really good. So expecting a good quality dining experience I took her there bragging on this place and have to say it was really a let down. The food was not the issue, it was acceptable to good. We each had an appetizer and a small plate. She had the Pork Rinds (and it was like ordering a bag of them at the convenience store). Sorry, we'll take that one, although I would have at least expected something to of put on them or a dipping sauce or something. I had the Short Rib Taco's. These were really good except there were only three of them and they were the size if a 50 cent peice. She had the small plate pierogis, and I had the small plate rabbit dish. Both of these were very good, but again, not much for portion size.....I guess that is what we should expect thogh when we ordered off of the small plate menu. So over all the food was really good, and I have no complaints with the quality of it. The real issue was the service, or the lack there of. I don't know what our servers name was, but it said Chris on the reciept afterwards. I think either he needed a lot of help, or should find something else to do for a living, as the service was subpar. We even had a couple of other servers come by and ask if there was anytihng we needed which we did and told them, only to of never seen them again... either of them. The greeter at the door wearing the tropical hawaiian shirt asked us on our way out how everything was. I told him the FOOD was fine but service was bad. He told me he understood, and simply told us it was because they were "busy". You know what. I am going to help you out with that busy part guy, and not come back. Hope you stay busy. I don't see that happening though unless you improve your attitude and customer service skills though.

My husband and I were visiting for the weekend and went to the Pullman because of a friends recommendation. The food and service were amazing. The decor was trendy and modern. My husband had raw oysters and said they were great. I had the chicken and it was awesome! It was moist and flavorful which isn't always the case at other places. My husband loved the trout and we were both happy with our meals. We had the blueberry bread pudding and it was to die for, sooo good. I would recommend this place to others!

The food was territifc! What more do you need to say. Well, there is morE, our server, John, was excellent. His timing was perfect, he had a great personality and he knew the menu and wine list to perfection. Mark came over to the table and introduced himself, always a plus to meet the chef. ALso liked the decor. Not many 'nice' looking restaurants in Glenwood (not that we found anyway). This is clam, relaxing and clean. Do not miss this one. You will have a great dining experience!!

Very delicious food, but I felt it was overpriced. I ordered the eggplant cannoli from the "large plate" side of the menu, but it was not very much food for $13. I ended up ordering the mashed potatoes (also very delicious) for an extra $5.

My boyfriend and I stopped here on the way to Denver for lunch, and we instantly fell in love. I got an amazing beet and arugula salad, and it was one of the best salads I've ever had. I also got their pea soup, and it was delish! My boyfriend got the grilled cheese, and he was immensely pleased even though he can be a bit of a food snob. The service was great, and I thought the pricing was fair. I would love to try this out for dinner some night!

Sweet baby Jesus! This meal was soo f**king Amazing, & I took it carry out!! I had the bone marrow soo good & this is coming from a gal who had a roommate long ago that kinda ruined it for her. Lamb entree incredibly scrumptious!! Two deserts cause why not, the carrot cake was de- lish & the salted Choco pie. I mean thank god I did take out cause then I didn't have to embarrassed myself. The only problem is I live in Denver, I will be back.

I have to thank my fellow Yelpers for finding The Pullman while in Glenwood Springs! I found myself wandering around their old town area solo, and I was ready for lunch. A quick Yelp search showed me that the Pullman was one of the highest rated joints in town and - bonus - about a block from the place I was standing. I headed straight over and grabbed a seat at the bar. The bartender was knowledgeable and friendly. He offered suggestions for beer (where they had only a few draught options) and food (where they had MANY options). I opted for that day's special, which was a cold smoked pork sandwich with slaw on the side. I must admit, I headed in pretty hungry but wasn't able to finish the whole thing. They were very generous with the meat, which was appreciated since it had been cooked to perfection. If you're in town, check it out - who doesn't love a beer and some good food after a day on the slopes?

Great dinner! Chose this based on yelp reviews and wasn't disappointed. We traveled from Denver to Glenwood Springs and did the hanging table hike along the way so we were starving by the time dinner came around. Booked with open table and happy we did as it was busy. Ordered some beers to go with the deviled eggs ($1.50 ea) and goats cheese fritters ($10). My partner ordered the natural chicken with spring vegies and I got the Colorado bass ($20 ea). Really great with some crispy potatoes ($5). Great service, excellent atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed our Pullman experience.

Here's the thing- I had a good time at the Pullman. I enjoyed some of the food here very very much. I am being critical of them, however. Why? Well, because they should know better. See, this isn't a one-off place. The people that own this also own Phat Thai (Carbondale) and Harman's (Now in Cherry Creek) and Town. I am *convinced* that the only reason this place is so cult-like in the area is because it is the ONLY place in Glenwood Springs that even attempts to do New American food. If you are between Edwards (where you should go to Dish!) and Aspen, this is your only bet for nouveau food (except their other restaurants). I wouldn't say they're phoning it in but they're coasting. We came here early-ish on a weekday evening, after going elsewhere for Happy Hour, because the Pullman doesn't offer one; minus one star because not having happy hour is just plain stupid. We got seated and ended up ordering beers (pretty reasonably priced) because cocktails are all around $10. I will say they had an amazing wine special though we didn't order it. For food we ordered: the fried artichokes, the duck n' waffles, and the special for the evening. The only thing everyone actually liked was the special- shaved cured pork with shaved radish, fennel, and some arugula all in a vinegar dressing, topped with rye croutons and mustard ice cream. Yes, it was as amazing as it sounds and I admired the play with temperature. I do think the artichokes were good but mostly because they were large artichoke heart quarters, not tiny pieces. Whatever they were served with was not as it was described and the wedges of olives on the stone tablet (not plate) were pointless. The duck n' waffles, which my father really pushed for, were to me totally......meh. The real (and very problematic) issue with this dish is that the description- "duck n' waffles- balsamic cherry jam" does not at all impart that this is actually 4 small wedges of cold reheated-to-room-temp waffle topped with what I think was a duck terrine, and some not at all flavorful (let alone tart) cherry jam. Pullman, take note- Blue Star, a restaurant I do not like in Colorado Springs, even makes this dish a hell of a lot better than you do, so take note. My parents both were not fans of this dish and I can't blame them. We did get dessert, which was the only other remarkable dish. The strawberry-rhubarb ravioli with basil ice cream was very very well made, although the pastry was not described and quite hard. Honestly, the Pullman should probably just become a Haute Cuisine ice cream shop, and they'd be a lot more successful; the only dishes we all loved were the ones that involved unusual ice creams, and those were the stars. I would return here, but mostly because there's very little else in this town, which is exactly the problem, I think. If anyone else enters with real competition, Pullman will have to step up, or find somewhere else.

We walked in at ten o'clock on the dot (there were quite a few people anticipating Pullman's opening) and were greeted by friendly staff. Our server was great, as was our good and drinks. The pickled bacon deviled eggs were delicious, as was my corner beef hash. My husband was happy with the size and quality of his burger as well. Great place! We will definitely go back next time we are visiting.

Two times in two days. That's how good The Pullman is. We had a mini weekend trip to Glenwood Springs and convinced our friends that dinner at the Pullman would be in their (our) very best interest. Luckily, my friends are cool. Everything I had that night was delicious.. from the Colorado Bass (the carrot ginger sauce that I wanted to lick off the plate) to the pork rinds, to the duck meatloaf and pierogis, and finally the creamed spinach. Delicious - all of it. Too bad none of us had room left for dessert. Because that happened, I convinced the bf that we absolutely had to come back to the Pullman for lunch the next day, just to taste the dessert. So I kept it small and got the gnocchi salad and wow, it was a killer salad. Loved the parmesan and truffle oil that they used, along with the grilled mushrooms and gnocchi. Mmm.. salivating while thinking about it. We made sure to leave room for dessert and chose the nutella bread pudding and the salted peanut butter pie. Both so so so so so so good. I especially loved the bacon ice cream that came with the nutella bread pudding. Both times the service was really spot on and helpful and I have nothing but praise for The Pullman (maybe a tiny desperate wish that it was located closer to the Denver area).

Had dinner reservations last night at 7:15, a little concerned as there was a crowd of people trying to be seated without reservations, and group by group they were turned away with an estimate of an hour plus wait. They acknowledged our reservation, and took us immediately to our table. Pleasant hostess, poured us water as soon as we sat down, chatted for a moment and then back to her post. The atmosphere was great, sort of modern but still warm and comfortable. Our server was attentive and pleasant, even taking time to chat here and there although she was obviously busy. We ordered drinks while looking at the menu, and honestly they took a bit longer than they should have to arrive, but not an issue. The beer was really good and my wife had a signature cocktail that was also really good. We ordered appetizers, and entrees.every bite was great. The food arrived a little haphazardly, but promptly and with all the waitstaff pitching in to assist. All in all The Pullman was a great experience. I will be back and will definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Every time i am in glenwood this is a must go. It is a little pricy but always worth it. My recommendation to others is, ask them whats special and just take their word and get it. Elk Meatloaf? FANTASTIC! Pickled deviled eggs? AWESOME! It may sound strange but i have yet to have a bad item there.

1st Anniversary Dinner WOW!!!! What a great restaurant starting off from service from our wonderful waitress Amanda which made our night so memorable. She was never afraid to list recommendations off of the menu her personality made me and and my wife feel so welcomed. This was our first time to Glenwood Springs and we wanted to dine in a place that we would not have any problems. Being that I am a Food and Beverage Director for a hotel in Downtown Denver we hardly ever have a meal that I am not noticing a few missed steps but its human nature when you are in this business. Our Waitress Amanda made sure every need was meet and to the Chef best Lamb ive had in a long time perfect medium. MY OVERALL SCORE IS NOT A 5 BUT A 10 AND BELIEVE ME YOU WILL SEE US VERY SOON. Every element is great from the atmosphere, food, great beverages (ever summer cocktail) to everyone being so polished and hats off the management team great moral with the staff the happiest staff ive seen in a long time. Thank you, Jesus & Jennifer Pacheco

Great dining experience! First night in Glenwood Springs we decided on eating at the Pullman. What a great place with great food and service. Our waitress was exceptionally knowledgable about the menu and was very courteous. The food was amazing, the menu options were great and quirky. I say quirky because I had not seen several of the menu items before which made the experience even better....we like to try new things...especially if they taste as good as Pullman's food. We will be going back before our trip is over. Went back for a second time and was just as happy. Recommend asking to be sat in Emily's section, she is awesome.
This place blew me away. My fiance and I went here on our anniversary vacation up to Glenwood Springs and we were not disappointed. The prices were good and the food was outstanding, innovative and fun. GET THE HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD! As wonderful as our meal was, that salad took the cake. I've also honestly never had such good service. Our server was so informative and fun that it really made the experience that much better.

Great customer service. Great food without being pretentious. The steak salad and roasted chicken were awesome. The chicken was tender and very well seasoned. It was served with brussels, fennel and bacon. The steak on the salad was cooked perfectly and the salad was a generous portion. Two in our party got the specials, which was scallops with risotto. The flavors melded very well, but the portion was slight for the price.

Amazing foodie haven right here in Glenwood Springs. I've been for both brunch and dinner and every time the experience and food have been fantastic. This is a great place if you like to play with your food, as there are many small plate options. Recently ate a late Christmas Eve dinner here and it was great. We weren't starving, so we ordered the kimchi with peanuts, pierogies with lemon creme fraiche, and a steak/blue cheese salad. Along with a few microbrews. Perfect pre-holiday dinner. The tap list switches up quite frequently- The Pullman highlights only four at a time, and each time I've been here it is something different than the last. But no worries- they have micros in the can/bottle. Their cocktail creations are always a hit and can quickly add up on the bill! As long as you're not a picky eater who won't try anything new/different, you will be impressed!

I'd expect this type of high-quality, chef-forward restaurant to be in Boulder or Denver. Perhaps if it was, I'd give it 4 stars ... but this great value in a tourist area give it an extra boost. We had the duck meatloaf and pork shoulder, everything had a creative mix of ingredients and beautiful presentation. Solid craft beer selection.

I'm rating The Pullman four stars, based on food and atmosphere. The food was simple, yet amazing. Portions are small, so I would suggest adding a salad or appetizer to your entree. I ordered a steak and my husband had the duck. The steak was perfectly prepared. I ended up sharing a bit of it with my husband because the duck portion was so small. Our server was ok. He was quite flighty and seemed to have too many tables to take care of. He seemed confused when I asked about a gluten free option. I believe that, at one point, he honestly forgot about our table. Despite some mishaps, I would still return based on the restaurant doing things right. Good food, good booze and a fun atmosphere.

So glad that my fellow Yelpers directed us to this place. We had one of the best meals I've had in a VERY long time. Our server was amazing, very personable and efficient. She shared the specials with us, and we decided to split the small plate and entree specials. The small plate was a pork tamale wrapped in a banana leaf, with a wonderful salsa/relish on top of tomatoes and golden raisins. The raisins had re-hydrated while sitting in the relish into these wonderful little flavor bombs that not only perfected the relish, but complemented the tamale perfectly. The beau enjoyed a beer flight of their rotating taps while we waited for our entree-- mushroom agnolotti with goat. I'd never had goat before, but our server vouched for the dish, so we went for it. So glad we did! The fresh mushrooms inside the cheese-less agnolotti were bathed in this glorious broth that burst into your mouth in heavenly fashion. The goat was super tender and had a very rich flavor, which was offset perfectly by the lemon-herb creme fraiche and the mixed vegetable garnish on top. We decided to throw our discipline out the window and ordered the apple ravioli for dessert. Forget what you know about savory ravioli-- these ravioli were fried to a perfect crisp and then covered in a generous layer of cinnamon sugar, effectively becoming mini apple pie pockets. AAH-MAZING! The gingerbread ice cream and rum caramel sauce served with them were also delicious, and before our server could return to ask us how dessert was, we had completely cleaned the plate. I absolutely LOVED this place, and will definitely be back; even if I have to make a special trip to Glenwood Springs just to dine here!

This place is not for everyone. You have to appreciate something different and appreciate that it's coming from chef because if you don't then you'll feel ripped off for the small portion you're getting to the price you're paying. All in all, I thought the food was good but fell a bit short of my expectations. I had the rabbit special, which I think I've only had once in my life. I thought the rabbit was prepared very well (almost looked like carnitas) and the dish overall was fine but not memorable. I also had some of the cianfotta, which I felt the pesto overwhelmed the dish and there was way too much eggplant in comparison to all the other veggies. As for the ambiance, I loved it. It's an older building converted to a modern, minimalistic interior. The place was packed solid so we knew the food would be good. I just think if you're going to come here just know what to expect. You won't be disappointed by the experience.

Great food, inventive menu, enthusiastic server with great ideas. We pass through Glenwood frequently. We have tried different restaurants each time but nothing has measured up to the Pullman. This is our second time for dinner at The Pullman and we thought the food and service were up there with top flight big city and resort experiences. We had trout beignets, kale salad, filet, scallop appetizer, a side with brussels sprout, leeks and bacon, and pear crumble. All excellent! She servers were all hustling and had big smiles. My husband was delighted that they had a top flight non-alcoholic beer (not easy to find). We will definitely be back on our next trip through Glenwood Springs.

OMGosh! To Die For! This place deserves 6 stars! NO KIDDING!!!! The reviews on The Pullman are top notch, and now I understand why - OMGosh! We had the Gnochi Salad - very good. We split the salad, it was more than enough for both of us, very good. Never would have thought of putting gnochi in a salad, but it worked! My husband had the artichoke bisque soup - he said it was very good, too rich for me. I did taste it, and it was good. We split the large plate special - pork shoulder. I can't begin to describe this dish. It just melted in the mouth! No Kidding! It was over a green garlic grits (or something like that), and some rhubarb (I believe, but don't quote me on that). I don't like grits, have never liked grits, but these were WOW! The pork shredded so easily, and the combination of all the different flavors, was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! It melted in the mouth - I already said that, but it did, it melted in the mouth! Oh, it was also more than enough for us to split too. Interior - black was the accent color, with dark green walls. It is open, and just a nice, friendly, welcoming, come in and stay a while, atmosphere. That doesn't even begin to describe it. Open, inviting, and you do, just want to sit, relax, and stay a while. There are approximately 20 tables, and a bar, with seating around it. There is one tv by the bar too. Parking - on the street, which can be hard in Glenwood Springs, especially when it's during the busy tourist season. Beverages - I had their coffee, and I really enjoyed it! I should have asked the brand, but didn't. Prices - approximately $20 or so for each person, but so worth it! Service - Excellent! Management - Awesome! Management, to me, is a reflection of the service, which is Excellent! So, Management is Awesome! Chef - WOW! He/She really knows his/her stuff! The flavor combinations, plating, everything, was so well done! KUDOS to the Chef! When to go - Whenever you can! We were in Glenwood Springs, during my birthday, and this was just the place to celebrate too! We will definitely go back! WOW!!!!

My boyfriend and I dined here the other night and our experience was top notch. Our server gave us some great suggestions. We started off with the CO Mule, very tasty. Then we got 2 small plates- house made burrata with grilled asparagus, shitake, tomato, pistachio butter and the crispy goat cheese with field greens, local melon, oregano vin. Both really good, but didn't realize both had small salads. The cheeses were so good on their homemade bread. For the main encore we got the roasted pork belly with parmesan grits, bacon braised kale, smoked cherry bbq. It was the best pork belly I've ever had. And while we were both full, we had to try dessert too. We opted for the butterscotch budino with rum caramel, vanilla foam. It was so good! I look forward to returning soon.

The next day the boyfriend and I decided to try dinner hours. Ordered dishes included the red curry mussels ($14) and duck breast with a side of black eyed peas ($19). As appetizers we ordered the poutine ($8), which disappointingly did not come out as hoped - over baked with yellow cheese, no white curds (per mention in the menu) and topped with a tasty gravy. The dish was still edible but not phenomenal. As for the duck breast, the portion was small even though on the menu it is under the category of "large plates." The duck was cooked with a little pinkness and the black eyed peas were simple and unseasoned. The red curry mussels were good but I think it would have been great had there been coconut milk as an added ingredient in addition to bread for dipping in the sauce! The bf and I commented on the unexpected results of the poutine and to appease our disappointment Chad provided a complimentary eggnog budino dessert that was absolutely delicious and a reason to come back.

I actually ate here twice before writing just to be sure it's as good as I thought. I'm going back tomorrow. Creative, delicious, unique flavors...oh, and awesome craft beer on tap. Lunch: pulled pork sandwich with balsamic citrus bbq sauce. Whoa good. Also tried the special, braised short ribs pulled then put on an english muffin with an egg and spicy hollandaise sauce. Dinner: Crab dip with lemon emulsion and crustini. Pierogis with truffle potato, caramelized onions and creme fraiche. Desert was apple crisp ravioli with gingerbread ice cream. I don't normally post the dishes I eat, but that should give an idea of the menu. It's fantastic. I eat at so many restaurants that are nothing but the same thing, I love unique, especially when done well. Seriously, I can't recommend it enough. Great dining.
This really was an extraordinary restaurant experience. The menu was a bit surprising, almost like just a bunch of random foodie terms scrambled up. But each of the eight or nine dishes we ordered was terrific. Service was not fast but was excellent, our server was cheerful and extremely helpful and well-informed about the food. This place is a real find, probably the best restaurant on the Western Slope. Worth a trip to Glenwood in itself and certainly a great place to eat if you are driving through.

Well um, this is awkward. I think this is a Yelp over-hype thing. Our meal was fair. But not 'great'. I made reservations a couple weeks in advance for 6p-ish since no other times were available on Opentable. Further, I saw that a fellow foodie friend had been here and gave it a thumbs up so I thought it might be good. I was REALLY looking forward to this meal, and embarrassed myself by telling everyone in my group that they would love this place! There is nothing worse than stretching your neck out there to talk up a restaurant and then..bam! Mediocrity. We noshed on the poutine, ham and gruyere fritters, kale and parm salad, roasted chicken with butternut squash, risotto, pancetta, et al., scallops...it was 'good'. Again, I love the philosophy and descriptions of their menu but items were sort of overly nouveau without enough thought about food symphony. Things were pretty but did not taste good. Overall, we were at "meh" by desert time. Then, ultimately, the kids' dessert (vanilla bean ice cream with chocolate sauce) came out and my kid literally spit it out and said "YUCK!!" The adults - clearly alarmed that my gelato-loving child did not love his dessert - investigated further. Indeed, it tasted freezer-burned (forgivable as we assume restaurants scoop these portions into ramekins en masse), but the additional taste of 'scotch tape' and 'frozen onions' were fodder for conversation. We told our server, who agreed it tasted like chives although did not really offer any sort of apology or explanation. Kitchen staff dipped fingers into this sample..gave looks of yuck and then defensiveness..we thought that was odd. Fess up when you throw uncovered ramekins into the freezer with your soup/sauce/oniony thingy but no matter what get the kids a new ice cream!! I wanted to love this place. Disappointed.

This place blew my mind! Coming from San Francisco, we had low expectations on what kind of food we can find in Glenwood Springs. However the dinner at Pullman turned out to be one of the most delicious dinners we have ever had. We had the pork belly and calamari salad for appetizer. Both were 5 star worthy. The pork belly with their house kimchee and the slight hint of sweet & sour flavor is in particularly memorable. I loved the calamari and arugula salad too, even though I don't usually like arugula. We then had the lamb bolognese and seared scallops for the main course. The seared scallops were cooked perfectly, and the sauce that came with it was beyond words. The lamb bolognese was great too, it's on the less fancy side and more on the food-cooked-by-grandma side, and it warmed us from inside on that very cold day. We were very very impressed by the food from the Pullman, and only wished that we had stayed in Glenwood Springs for a couple of more days just to go back there!

This was a great find in Glenwood Springs! My husband and I are from the front range and frequent Boulder restaurants. We found this to be on par or better than some of the best restaurants in Boulder only half the price! We had dinner and everything was amazing. The Colorado mule cocktail, duck nuggets and a cantaloupe special were some of the highlights. We will definitely be back again!

If you have read my other reviews you'll see they are more slanted towards the negative, do I have anything good to say about the restaurants in this area you may ask? the answer is a resounding, NO, went here to celebrate my wife's 30th birthday the other day, there was a nasty rain storm that afternoon as we arrived at the restaurant early (4:45pm), was it open? NO..... okay I thought just myself my wife and daughter, however, did they open for the numerous other guests that had turned up and were trying the locked front door before 5 pm? NO..... so we all waited, stupidly in the rain to be allowed entry into the establishment.....I've eaten here approximately 10 times since it has opened, and I've come to the conclusion that the inconsistencies in the food and service are this restaurant's consistencies............

I am giving the Pullman 5 stars as I believe it would do as well in a larger market (such as Denver) as it does in the more quaint Glenwood Springs. My husband and I started with the macaroni and cheese. The gruyere cheese and crispy crumbles on top make this dish! There was not a noodle left when we finished. At this point, bread came. i skipped it in favor of what I knew would be a delicious meal. I'm glad I saved room! I had the hangar steak cooked (Gasp!) medium well and it was still juicy and flavorful. It was cooked in red wine and the flavor was just right. My steak was served with fingerling potatoes, which were also...as good as you would expect fingerling potatoes to be. For the love of all that is good, order the butterscotch budino. Budino is a kind of pudding (Don't worry, we had to ask too). Seriously, if I were Oprah, this would be on my list of favorite things. The pudding has the right amount of salty flavor to be balanced perfectly by the vanilla "foam" (reads more like whipped cream) on top. I say budino is a "kind of" pudding because the consistency was much lighter, almost like a mousse. 2 days later and I am still dreaming of butterscotch. The decor is also nicely played-exposed brick, clever art, exposed lightbulbs hanging by wires... If The Pullman wasn't 3 hours away, we'd be back within 2 weeks!

The Pullman provides upscale food with a local, friendly, flair. I had the Eggplant cannelloni and it was divine. The eggplant was roasted to perfection, the mushroom risotto was flavorful and the coriander tomato sauce had just enough spice to really add some kick to the dish. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the Elk Meatloaf and my daughter loved the grilled chicken salad that included grilled romaine.

Its all true. All of it. Every good review. The creators of the Pullman cafe and bar have a tight formula that delivers high quality, incredibly high quality food and service at shockingly reasonable prices. A big city panache, amazingly well done. Exposed brick in hardwood floor, two story ceilings and comfortable seatings, surrounded by huge windows on two sides giving you a view of the Denver Hotel and the train station. The street is now expanding to patio seating and only one way traffic, as of this posting, construction still goes on. But with all the restored brick buildings, the gorgeous and beautiful train station, the view and setting is already stellar. But if this was a dump, it would still be worth coming here for the food and service, and again those great great prices. I'm not talking about super crazy good prices, we're still talking $10 for a burger or a sandwich or more, but for the quality of the food most certainly reasonable. The entrees range from 11 to 20 ish, and the menu changes seasonally. They try as much as possible to use the whole farm to table philosophy. The bread is custom baked, they cure a lot of their own me, sustainable and humane meat on Lee need apply. For vegetarians, they keep it going to supply on the menu. Their burgers and sandwiches are all top notch versions, respective for juicy meat. Homemade sauces, quality cheese and the very deft hands in the kitchen. Something that you should never miss are the fries, small, perfectly crisp yet creamy, these fries stand up has some of the best I've ever had. Some of the rotating pasta dishes I've had have been sublime as well. In the eight times that I have attended here over 2 years of visiting, they always has it gnocchi on the menu, mac and cheese, and those sandwiches and burgers. If you are lucky enough to catch the duck carbonara, with one small, local egg poached on the pasta. A complex sauce featuring nuances that will make your mouth smile. The service is insanely professional and well done. They use a cadre of runners and wait staff, and order fulfillment is not dependent on one person. Given, I do usually don't eat with the herd, so I cannot vouch for their dinner practices, but with their dedication of the front of the house and management to top notch quality customer service, a great work environment, I cannot imagine that the busy nights are not handled well as could be. In two years of coming here, I already recognize several faces. Always the sign of a good organization in the service industry, at least in a competitive market, low turnover. If you are going into the restaurant business, you could do worse than to observe and emulate how the Pullman does business. One night while eating at the bar, I chopped it up with some of the employees. Evidently they now have three restaurants in Colorado and looking for a fourth. Clearly, the formula is working for them. The mac and cheese, for me is not four star. But I make a very good mac and cheese and I have high standards . It is amazing how many times with those high standards I have been transported to admiration and pleasurable wonder by the food here. I think the only bad experience I've had with anything here was the pork belly. Small portion and not at all up to pork belly renditions that I was used to. Nothing to worry about for you, it hasn't been on the menu for over a year and I'm sure if it comes back it will be better then what I had. And by the way, I finished that pork belly, every bit. Small shout out to the staff, I'm the giant who's been there before and will be back again, enjoyed all your individual service. Been in the service industry and many levels of it for most of my career, hats off and big props to ya. I look forward to my next visit to Colorado and the Pullman cafe.

Without a doubt, 5 stars are warranted! Truly a great restaurant in town. A must try is the bone marrow! The Caroque Madame (sandwich) is outstanding! This has to be the most magnificent restaurant in all of Glenwood Springs. The food is outstanding! I would love to have this restaurant in the Denver area. Truly you have to try this restaurant to understand how fantastic the food is. The service is amazing. The waiter for the table next to us sat down and was shooting the breeze with the other customers. It is a place where service, and that of the consumer are number one. I look forward to going here again in the future, that is, whenever I get back to Glenwood Springs, or around the area.

After seeing the wide range of reviews I was hesitant but with some coddling from friends I jumped in. The bartenders were very knowledgeable, attendant, and helpful. The seared duck with okra and polenta was good but not extraordinary - needed something.....however...the Black Forest bread pudding with a glass of red wine was the best thing I've had in awhile. Ask for extra cherries!

This place was fantastic, a true pork-lover's Mecca. 5/5 for presentation 5/5 for variety on menu 5/5 for taste 5/5 for service 5/5 for speed (our small plates were out in less than 8 mins) We ordered: Simple Greens - salad, self-explanatory Short Rib tacos- very tasty, but kind of hard to eat as an actual taco. Pork Belly- very crispy outside while still extremely tender in the center. Pork Chop Porterhouse (special)- I've never had a pork chop this good before. All of the sides amounted to the taste of thanksgiving in your mouth. I would definitely come back if I were in Glenwood Springs. This restaurant could easily thrive back home in Chicago and could compare to some of the great culinary experiences there.

Had a burger and a salad and it was okay. The service however was horrific. It took 10 minutes for me to be acknowledged that I had arrived. It also took over an hour for me to be initially served until time I left and I was the only person in my party. Very very very disappointed in the service, and I spoke to the manager about it and he did nothing to attempt to rectify it I would not recommend this place to anyone

You know a restaurant is great when the Dr. says something like "Let's go to Glenwood Springs so we can eat at The Pullman again". It's almost a 3 hour drive from Denver and I wouldn't say it's THAT good but it's easily the best meals we have had in Glenwood. Also, a must stop on the way back from Palisade. It's a very nice meal in a causal environment. About the food... it's hard to tell you what to order because everything we have had was fantastic. They have that 'farm to table' thing going so everything is uber fresh. I'm somewhat in love with the pork belly with apple butter and crispy brussels sprouts. The combination is absolute perfection. We usually split a few plates but their sandwhiches are very filling on their own. My son usually just has a negotiation with our server on what they can make him that day... it's pretty cute how well he interacts with wait-staff these days. They also have always had a few outstanding draft beers on tap and full bar with talented staff. This is always a must for a 5-star rating.

The Pullman was a nice find on our way to Snowmass. The location is great -- it is a in the cute downtown area across from the river. I ordered the Cobb sandwich with a side of the kale salad. The sandwich consisted of turkey, bacon, avocado, and bleu cheese. Nice flavors. The kale salad was served with pine nuts and currants. The currants made the salad too sweet. It would have been better if it had a little acidity to cut the sweetness. Next time, I will try the simple salad instead of the kale salad. Another slight downfall of The Pullman was the service. Our server had too much attitude that detracted from the experience. If I pass through Glenwood Springs again, I will give the Pullman another try, but I will hope for better service.

Went there for a girls weekend after a day of pampering. We were able to just walk there from the lodge. The food was fantastic. We each tried to get something different to share, but there was so much food, we couldn't finish it all. Salads were fantastic. Kept thinking of how much my husband would love this place. I am definitely coming back with him next time!

I had two AMAZING meals here in July and one ok meal here last Friday. Based on July - 5 stars, based on Friday night - 3 stars. The difference was in the server. The poor guy seemed very new, frazzled and didn't know much about the menu or the wine list. I had to ask for a desert menu as he was ready to bring the check. It was a bit disappointing given our meals in July were outstanding and last Friday my steak was only warm-ish. Everyone has an off day. Overall, a gem of a restaurant in Glenwood Springs. Hopefully the new guy will get some more training. I would give them another shot.

Two trips to Glenwood Springs, two dinners at The Pullman, two enthusiastic thumbs up! The space is decidedly industrial but nicely warmed up with exposed brick and beautiful gray walls, a wood ceiling in the bar area, lots of big windows throughout, and a large open kitchen fronted by a whimsical pig statue. I'm not exactly sure what the pig is all about but I'm guessing it's some kind of tribute to the restaurant's philosophy of using only fresh, local, in-season ingredients. During our most recent visit, I began the meal with the night's special tomato soup with candied almonds. The soup's puree texture and delicious smoky flavor was wonderfully accented by the sweet roasted almonds. The Hubs chose the roasted cauliflower salad with shishito pepper relish served on a bed of arugula. The buttery cauliflower was a great compliment to the fresh, crisp arugula and sweet peppers. For entrees, I had the hugely portioned grilled hangar steak au poivre with a cheesy cauliflower gratin. The steak was perfectly cooked and I honestly have never enjoyed cauliflower more. The Hubs had the venison pasta special with a light creamy cheese sauce. I can't remember what kind of pasta was in the dish (maybe it was gnocchi?) but it was freshly made and the venison was tender and well-seasoned. It was the perfect hearty dish for that crisp, cold night. We chatted a minute with the manager when he came by our table to make sure everything was going well. He said it's a good place to be and the owners and chef are outstanding. I definitely agree and can't wait for our next visit to Glenwood.

A really well-thought-out casual bistro. Good wine list, thoughtful and versatile menu, and even good cocktails. I absolutely loved the steak salad. a good mix of flavorful greens and sharp, spicy blue cheese dressing, with frites as a kind of crouton! hanger steak cooked to desired temp with a nice amount of char. My partner had the ricotta gnocchi and coriander creamed corn. Awfully good but not as good as my steak salad! Good service and even the kids menu was thoughtful and well designed. We're going back for lunch today.

Delicious. Such a nice alternative to the dated steakhouses and burger joints in Glenwood. The waiter was an absolute doll, very nice to the boy. Even though they have a pointed sign at the door "Your Well-Behaved Children are Welcome".....We had two appetizers (the truffled fried pigskin is so good it's stupid), wine and beer (their house red is really surprisingly good) three entrees and got out of there for just about $100..... which for the area, is a bargain. And the food is fantastic - I had a slow-roasted pork shoulder chunk nestled in a bed of creamy grits, topped with a pickled radish slaw. The waiter said it was a "deconstructed pozole", which hadn't occurred to me, but it was true! Fantastic place.

The Pullman came highly recommended from several people when I mentioned that I was traveling to Glenwood Springs. I knew I had to give it a shot. This restaurant was exceptional in every way! First of all the service was some of the best I've ever seen in a crowded restaurant. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and answered all of our questions without hesitation. We even had another staff member come over to check on us several times to see if what we ordered was up to our satisfaction. The staff was fast to get our food out...second to none. The food was amazing as well. I ordered mussels which were some of the best I have ever tasted. They came with a special kind of sausage in the broth and a rolled up pork rind on top. My girlfriend ordered the calamari salad which was also exceptional. We had duck nuggets for an appetizer which were also very good. I can't say I have ever had duck nuggets before so the second server came over to explain how they are made from the shavings off of one of their other main dishes...very interesting we thought. Overall I would say if you are in Glenwood Springs for ANY amount of time, you have to eat at The Pullman!

Don't set your expectations sky high because of the great reviews! The gnocchi salad was memorable, but entrees were just decent. We were here on a busy night and the service was extremely lacking. Took way too long to place our order, get refills, and our check at the end of the meal. Overpriced as well.

I was a solo walk in on a very busy Mother's Day Brunch. They accommodated me quickly with a very nice corner table. From the host to my server everyone was friendly and made great recommendations. I loved my corned beef hash (the best I have ever had) and even ordered a side order to go so I could have a friend try it. I will be back! Thank you for an enjoyable Mother's Day brunch!

The Pullman is a real treasure here in Glenwood Springs. My boyfriend and I went on a Friday and thank goodness we made a reservation because there was a bit of a wait for walk-ins. We were quickly seated by the hostess who actually may have been a manager, because she did a great job of checking in on other tables between seating people. Our waiter came by and asked if we had ever been to The Pullman. Nope, we were newbies. He explained that there were no favorite dishes and that everything on the menu was great. If we didn't like something, they'd fix it. He was right! The food was amazing. We started with the truffle pork rinds which had great seasoning and crunch. The bone marrow was a little disappointing because we were only able to get two scoops out but that's what makes bone marrow so exclusive. For our entrees we ordered the pork belly and the shoulder fillet. Both were to die for except the sauce for the fillet was too salty. Our waiter could tell something was wrong by my face so we told him and he took the plate to the back. He and the chef tried it and agreed that it wasn't good. So they comped it and we ordered the duck. I was really impressed with how fast they took care of the problem and the great attitude out waiter had. My boyfriend and I have both worked in the restaurant business and we know what it's like when people complain. Our waiter assured us that it was not a problem and boom- we had our new entree. The duck was so juicy and delicious my mouth is watering right now just thinking about it. They also had a great selection of wine and beer, but we focused more on the food. The Pullman = wonderful night out

Probably the best place in Glenwood Springs. My wife, daughter and I were fortunate enough to get a table without a wait, but will make reservations in the future. Atmosphere is trendy, but not over the top. Could have done without the 2 TV's on. Food and presentation was done well. I recommend ordering a "snack" since the large plate serving sizes are not incredibly large. The poutine was freaking amazing as was the steak dish. The roasted pork shoulder fell short, under seasoned and flat tasting. We will definitely return!

Beth S.
I had high hopes for this restaurant. I loved its Retro decor. But was let done by the terrible and slow service. Our waitress was too busy flirting with the guys sitting at the table next to us. It took 15 minutes for someone to take our drink order and another 30 after that for our food order. Then some of our food came out burnt. yes... black!

Dan B.
Sunday brunch as good as it gets. Food quality, preparation, and presentation is excellent; fine dining like the city. Service is fantastic as well. We interacted with several staff members for seating, serving, food running etc and everyone represents the company as I always hope my employees do.

Had top of the line food and beverage pairings. I started with some pickled deviled eggs and the balsamic pickled cherries next to the pork belly paired with the elevation sason. Next course I I enjoyed the truffle pierogis with the liesurely gentleman cocktail made with gin, muddled peaches, and amazing barrel aged bitters. The final course I chose the Colorado pan seared bass with roasted corn and a maple gastrique paired the the telluride brown ale. Great dinner and environment.

To preface: We've been to this restaurant twice prior to tonight. First time was fantastic; the service, ambience, food, and cocktails were amazing. Second time the server was extremely knowledgeable and the ambience was still great but the food a little disappointing. This last time was extremely disappointing in every aspect. Review: Our greeting was rude and they were not helpful when we mentioned we wanted a seat at the bar. Our server then walked up and said, "Ummm... Soo... Ummm drinks?" This is verbatim. No name, no hello, no how are you. When we had questions or wanted recommendations, our server was either non-responsive, uninformed, or simply regurgitated what the menu said. I won't bore you with details... The food was awful... Didn't even eat half. Worst part of the experience was when one dish was slammed down rudely, seemingly angrily, loudly, and with out a word from the food runner. Not sure that we'll be coming back. Too bad, as we planned this trip to Glenwood with the Pullman in mind, even planning to eat there multiple times. We planned on staying longer, eating more, and drinking more but got out as quickly as possible and only ordered two snacks and one salad before deciding we were no longer interested. Side note: Previously, we were told the menu was inspired by season and locality. It seemed autumn inspired to me... It's March 23rd. Also, I would like to mention we have been servers for at least 8-10 years each, we are usually very forgiving of service and food but this was so terrible we felt cheated and it left a bad taste in our mouths. Literally and figuratively.

One of the best meals of our lives. It was SO good - from the artichokes and pork rinds to the gnocchi salad, crab cake and turkey special. We loved it all, worth every penny and awesome service. It is SO amazing to get great service AND food - usually it is just one or the other. I think we are going back for lunch tomorrow - mmmmmmmmmmmm. Do NOT miss this place!

This place was great! What a nifty find in Glenwood! Our service was top notch, the atmosphere seemed almost Napa-like, and the food was really delicious! I ordered the chicken with gnocchi & beets and devoured each bite of it. It was so amazing! The hubs ordered the ribeye special with squash blossoms, but then just missed out on ordering the last one. So the server politely asked if he would like something else instead, which turned out to be the other steak option on the menu instead. Squash blossom included! How nice is that to add a blossom? The hubs was quite happy with his order, despite the special being out. All he really wanted was the blossom anyway. The cocktails were great too! Overall, a fabulous experience and a great newer addition to Glenwood Springs!

Yummy, yum-yum!! Need I say more? A *must stop* whenever we are in Glenwood Springs!! Everything we have ever tried has been super tasty, unique, and fairly priced. Now, if only Harman's in Denver could maintain the quality and diversity of the Pullman menu, I'd be in 7th-foodie-heaven!!

This is a very good restaurant that inspires confidence. Sufficient confidence that I ordered oysters from Washington State and loved them and survived to tell the tale.I also had trout and some first rate beer.Kudos to our charming , funny waiter ,Eric. This a place you want to go to in a town that has a lot of restaurants.

We are presently on a vacation in Glennwood and have tried twice to eat at The Pullman only to be turned away by the HORRIBLE service from the hostess. Between the answering of phones while talking to us, texting on her cell phone, or walking away from us in mid sentence - she is costing this restaurant business. Message to the management: we have tried to enjoy a meal two nights in a row at your restaurant. Your hostess is either over worked and needs help or she needs to find work elsewhere. We are not the only people that have left because of her. We would love to think there is hope for this restaurant but could not get past the staff at the door. Stay away for now.

First recommendation: reservations on a weekend night! We called on a Saturday afternoon and was offered only 5pm or 830pm for dinner slots for a party of 8. Maybe if we were a smaller party, the time slots would have been more abundant. The service at the Pullman was excellent. For a party of 8, I don't think I had to wait for a server to come by and check on drinks, food, etc. The food here is fantastic! I ordered house made kimchee (random, but good) and their shoulder loin. All I can say is the food is great. The food came out relatively quick too. The atmosphere is great for date night or dinner with friends.

I like where this place is going, but nothing fully delivered. Everything on the menu looks super creative and interesting, especially for being in Glenwood Springs. Our large table ordered just about all the starters and a lot of the entrees. Plating was nice but immediately I noticed some things going wrong. Like the truffled pigs ears tasted like tar and the bone marrow was a tiny tiny portion and didn't seem complete. I ordered five different cocktails; i sent one back, didn't drink another and thoroughly enjoyed the bacon infused one. One out of five is kind of sad. My duck meatloaf was good but I couldn't really tell it was duck. Again, it was good, but nothing special. I guess I enjoyed having at least something creative in a small mountain town that harbors walmart, but I wish they hit the mark more precisely.

Pulling Me Back A year after my first trip to Glenwood Springs, I couldn't wait to have dinner again at The Pullman. In fact, I was so excited that I skipped most of the filling (free!) happy hour fare at a conference networking event down the street, in favor of readying my stomach for what The Pullman would have to offer. My friend and I arrived to the restaurant around 9:00 and despite a mostly full house, the hostess was able to quickly seat us at a nice elevated two top near the window. The Pullman has the fortunate problem of having too many items on the menu that sound delicious. Item after item seems to fill a niche--comfort food, avant garde or just plain simple. I like this approach because it seems less like each dish is a recycled version of the last, yet everything seems to hang together in a locavore sort of way. I was incredibly pleased to see my favorite type of white wine on the list, a Gruner, and my friend ordered a boozy delicacy that tasted just like an orange creamcicle. Holy holy was it good and a great start to an evening at a pretty perfect restaurant. After much deliberation I went with the shrimp bisque and the calamari salad from the large salad portion of the menu. Both were outstanding and neither contained an overpowering fish taste or scent. What impresses me most is that the chef knows what flavors to pair with each dish, making even basic dishes appear unique. My dining companion went with the filet, which has a 'herbalicious' chimichurri on top that takes the steak to dreamy levels. We couldn't help ourselves, so we decided to try the sous chef's new gingerbread ice cream. I'm glad we went with two scoops because we would have likely been sad to only split one between us. Again, the flavor achieved perfection. Gingerbread can be bitter and overpowering, but he managed to find the literal sweet spot. The Pullman is one of those restaurants I wish was a stones throw away from my house, so I can show up once a week and just order every item on the menu. Alas, all I can do is hope to find myself back in Glenwood Springs so that I can enjoy another evening of culinary delight.

Stopped here on Sunday evening of a Sat-Mon Glenwood Springs visit. Wish I had tried this place sooner. Had a fantastic meal, the combinations of flavors, things that I hadn't experienced before. A fantastic meal for two, with a nice red, dessert; under $100 prior to the gratuity. A great meal, excellent service. Nothing to complain about. I'll come back to Glenwood just to dine here again.

Thanks To Pullman for a great meal! Atmosphere was very warm inviting and trendy--not easy to pull off. Menu was creative with lots (almost too many!) options. We had the appetizer special of tator tots with white cheddar with a curry sauce...they were awesome with lot of flavor. My dad had the steak salad, which was a nice size, well dressed with lots of flavor. I had the orecchiette with Parmesan broth...good dish--maybe needed a little more seasoning. Desserts were great...especially the cinnamon roll bread pudding. Nice affordable wine list...the house wine was fabulous! Service was really outstanding...lots of attentive staff who were knowledgeable on the menu and recommended great choices. Highly recommend!

The wifey and I have been to the Pullman twice now, the last two times we've visited Glenwood. The first time we happened to stumble in as we were making our way to Glenwood Brewing...I believe it had only been open for a few months at that time, and we were blown away by the quality of the experience...everything we ate and drank was delicious (Rib Eye and Habanero Margarita anyone?) and the service was impeccable to boot. The next time around we made reservations in advance, and we're glad we did! Some folks walking in ahead of us were told they'd have to wait at least an hour to get a table...popular joint, and its obvious why! Again we were impressed by our entrees, she had roasted chicken with gnocchi and I had hanger steak with roasted potatoes ..we shared a beet salad to start, and there was plenty of tasty, crusty bread supplied. Cocktails were excellent again as well (though I was a little sad they didn't have the spicy option from the previous visit) and we sampled their house red wine as well, which was reasonably priced at $3 per half-glass. Service this time around was not quite as excellent, tending towards the aloof side...aloofness vs overbearingness is definitely a hard thing to balance, and didn't seem quite as balanced this time, but oh well, like I said they were also really busy. Again I have to recommend the Pullman and say that I'll be back next time I'm in town.
seriously???? way over priced, underportioned, lousy service......

Wow what an excellent experience I found the Pullman by luck during a recent visit to Glenwood Springs and boy am I glad I did. The food was great, the service was excellent and the beer my waiter recommended was a perfect compliment to my meal. The atmosphere is really welcoming and comfortable and I thought the meals were not only great tasting but also a great value. I would highly recommend the Pullman, I can't wait to return

So was in the neighborhood, they were the only restaurant on the strip to take reservations, that's common sense in a tourist area, i don't know what all those other owners are thinking?? Anyways, got there at 7:45 packed but they got us our table!! lovely high top by the window! Our server was Jon. Now im very particular on judging people on their personal hygiene, since im a hair stylist and a server as well. Jon had a beard, BUT very well maintained and his appearance was great. He was so knowledgeable on the food they have, not just their specials everything!! we had gotten the creamy crab dip as an app.....YUM. I got the sirloin and substituted my side for smoked mashed potatoes holly delicious!!! best mashed potatoes ive had! They also cut my sirloin which i have never seen before and that was great since, we all know sirloin doesn't stop cooking.... It was perfect. My boyfriend got pork belly! YUCK! lol he loved it i just don't eat pork. He said it was the best pork, hes ever had. Jon was super attentive although he was super busy. Great over all experience. Thanks for making my birthday dinner the best!! And we will be going to your other location in cherry creek very soon!!

Excellent service from the moment we walked in with all of our luggage. My 10 year old and 13 year old daughters both had the Mac & Cheese which came in a just right portion to leave room for dessert. They devoured it. The Fair Lady / Pick Eater ordered the Steak Salad which was carefully prepared as she requested. Happy wife, happy life. I had the grilled Flat Iron with Blue Cheese Augratin. Excellent start to finish. Great selection of mixed drinks, local brews and wine list. Recommended.

The food here is strange and awkward. I ordered French fries that had what seemed like coconut shavings on them, not good at all! I ordered a burger which seemed like it was placed between a biscuit, and nothing else. The meat was too thick and lacked flavor. I stopped by here for lunch after going to the hot springs because of all the good reviews. I should have just bought a sandwich at the gas station or something. High prices for very awkward food. I don't know who created the menu, but simple things like burgers and fries don't really need anything complicated, such as coconut shavings on French fries.

The calimari with citrus aioli was amazing. -as was the warm spinach and mushroom salad. The apple crisp, not so much- I felt that they went too heavy on the spices, and it overpowered the apples. The homemade sage ice cream was really good though. Best of all, the service was outstanding. Oh- you have to try the potine- French fries and gravy on steroids! And wash it down with a basil julep!

Wow, having been in the States on a three week holiday, this was by far the best meal we have eaten. My boyfriend and I had no reservations but it was given top place on yelp so we gave it a try. We were lucky as they had space. What a lovely dining room, large windows, and hardwood floors, we admired the old style light bulbs, love the decor. Anyway back to the food. For drinks I'd a beer and my boyfriend was made a mojito although not on the menu. We were hungry-ish, so shared a starters of pork belly with caramelised peaches with rhubarb, scrumptious. For mains my boyfriend had pan roasted salmon with smoked potato mash and green beans, his verdict was nommage, our term for food heaven! We love salmon and it was the yummiest he said he had in a long while. I opted for the grilled steak salad. It came with a sprinkling of blue cheese and crunchy bacon bits. Delicious. It also came with a side of a bean ragut, they kindly brought it after I requested it to replace the fries. To end this yummy meal, we shared a tart cherry crisp. Lastly, a heads up to the staff of this restaurant who were so courteous and friendly. This is a fine spot that deserves your custom.
This is the best restaurant in Glenwood Springs! The menu is very creative. I can't say enough how delicious it is. I recommend you try something you normally wouldn't order and expect to be delighted. Some of my all time favorites here are Bone Marrow appetizer (it may not be on menu anymore), Kale Salad, Mac & Cheese small dish and Bacon/Maple Ice Cream. Nothing here falls of the Cisco truck and the Chef pairs up amazing flavors. One caveat... my kids don't love it as much as I do (they would rather eat more standard fare) and if you don't like to get a little adventurous, The Pullman may not be for you! But me, I like the adventure!! I also try to get a reservation (usually only early or late, they don't offer too many) if I can.

Paul D.
Fancy, fancy fancy. Quite the culinary adventure, if you're into that kind of thing. Nothing is normal here, everything has some special gourmet twist. Oh well, I had the hangar steak which was amazing, and my wife had the roasted chicken, which was scary undercooked, and MIGHT have given her mild food poisoning. They initially said it was pink due to the brine they marinated it in, but gladly cooked it more, and even took it off our bill. For a nice night out in Glenwood, I would definitely go back.

Service is impeccable and they are very knowledgeable of the menu. It is a foodie dream in Glenwood Springs. I would recommend trying a sampler of things, which could get pricey but portions are small. Next time I am in Glenwood, I will be stopping by again for more taste off their eclectic menu.

Can a menu be too enticing? If there is such a thing, the Pullman has it. We had to send away our server three times before ordering because every single thing on it looks so utterly delicious. A few examples: Butternut squash agnolotti (sort of like ravioli apparently) with mushrooms and smoked bacon; Lamb meatballs with feta gnudi (like gnocchi but made with ricotta) and sun-dried tomato gremolata (a zesty paste made with lemon and parsley); autumn vegetable cianfotta (hearty stew) with parmesan broth, basil pesto and grilled bread slices; pan seared diver scallops with butternut squash risotto, bacon and bourbon maple gastrique. Plus there was duck meatloaf, hanger steak and Colorado lamb shoulder. I am not sure I have ever seen a menu so full of things I wanted to eat. I went for the truffle potato pierogis with caramelized onion and scallion creme fraiche. It was amazing. Each of these perfect potato pockets were full of a wickedly delicious caramelized onion paired with specks of decadent truffle served with truffle broth and a dollop of fresh creme. My girlfriend opted for a Colorado grass-fed beef burger and it was one of the best burgers she or I have ever tasted (She was kind enough to give me a bite). The burger was made from high quality ground steak and had a wonderful fatty, savory consistency. It was served with a some sweet caramelized onions and a salty flavorful cheddar that melted into the burger. The fries on the side were also quite good, fried almost tempura style with shaved Parmesan. After such an incredible meal, we knew he had to see what this place could do for dessert. We chose a pumpkin bread pudding with maple ice cream and pumpkin seed brittle. It was amazing. The bread stood up by itself with a dollop of creme anglaise. On the other side was the ice cream and on both was the salty/crunchy pumpkin brittle. The combination of all four was one of the single greatest bites of food I've ever had. It was sweet. It was savory. It was soft. It was crunchy. It was salty. It all went together so well. And to top it off the service was really great despite us being somewhat indecisive. The server capably defined the menu's glossary of unfamiliar food terms. The prices at the Pullman we're another great surprise with everything on the menu $20 and under. My girlfriend and I had dinner and dessert for only $33. A similar restaurant in Denver would easily have the bill above $45 or $50. The restaurant wasn't at all fussy or fancy. You could eat dinner in a t-shirt and barely dried swim trunks and they wouldn't care. They simply let the food make it a fine-dining experience. The Pullman was just a fantastic restaurant that single-handedly elevates the culinary scene of Glenwood Springs. No longer are the springs or the scenery the main attraction for me...The Pullman pulls me back into town.

Our orders were messed up for every single course including drinks. Our waitress wasn't really on top of things and was too slow paced and laid back which made me question her sobriety. Beer list wasn't anything special. Wine list was mediocre to generic. The risotto my girlfriend ordered was underdone and not edible. I think the items on their menu sound really for people who consider themselves a "foodie". The problem with these items is most of them look great on paper but once you are served the disappointment sets in.

On this one, we didn't have a clue of where to go and we used the Yelp app and just trusted. I can honestly say, I wouldn't have picked this place if I was on my own because Juicy Lucy and something called Rib City was also in walking distance. Its a little tricky to get to, because its under the bridge that crosses the river and you have to circle around to get down to 7th. But I would strongly recommend that you do. Its pretty obvious that people in the know go here and I can only imagine what this place is like when the tourists pack it in too. Even if this restaurant wasn't in tourist trap central that is Glenwood Springs, this is a great restaurant. Everything on the menu looked fantastic. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich and my wife had a kale salad and turkey cobb. Both sandwiches and the salad were original takes on classic sandwiches that really worked. Original, flavorful, and fresh would be the words I would use. Heck, I'm pretty sure they made their own ketchup too. I have to say, I would definitely go here again and again, any time I go to Glenwood Springs.

The Pullman is a strong 4 star restaurant for sure. The prices are reasonable. The selection on the menu was a perfect blend of American classics with some more adventurous choices thrown in. The service is impeccable yet casual. I was really blown away by this place. I used to live in Aspen and no other restaurant in the valley combines the elements of value and quality period. And only a handful of restaurants at best are better. If you are looking for dinner down valley this has to be your first choice.

Unique menu items and original cocktails make this place special. It's neatly placed around the downtown area, and has a friendly and helpful staff. My boyfriend was impressed with their spicy margarita and bloody mary. Our main dishes were the duck carbonara and pierogis, both were fantastic. The sauce in each dish had flavors that made the dishes that much more enjoyable. There was a balance among each different component of the dishes that made them harmonious in themselves. The portions were also just right - not massive-sized plates with ridiculous amounts. The charm of the interior is modern but humble, fitting in with the feel of the town. We ended with simple yet satisfying dessert - Olive oil pound cake with gelato and ice cream. The dessert menu is short but all the items sound like an experience you've rarely had, if at all. I wish we could have tried them all. The snacks alone are worth it, if you're looking for a selection of food and not just one dish. Salmon melt crostini gets two thumbs up from me! They're hardy and flavorful, the bread holds up to the pile of ingredients and doesn't have that tooth-breaking kind of texture I was anticipating (thank goodness). All in all, we enjoyed our lunch and will definitely return and recommend when in town.

Since Six89 in Carbondale closed for dinner, we needed a suitable alternative for Christmas Eve. The Pullman exceeded my expectations and I hope it becomes a staple for nice meals out whenever I'm in the area. It also serves as easily one of the best restaurants in Glenwood Springs. The decor is cool with a modern-cabin feel. Along one of the walls is street art with some scrawl from a chicken about eating more pork. I listened! To start, we ordered the short rib tacos. The kimchee on it was a little strange and odiferous, but the meat was succulent and tender. I really enjoyed them as our starter. I had the pork shoulder which did not disappoint. Very good meat selections here, overall, and some interesting, creative touches for garnishes. Everyone at the table was full and happy when we finished, so job well done! This is a great spot to bring family and friends who want a relaxing and chill environment to eat some great meat and enjoy a few drinks. I wish it had been warmer out because it's nearby some intriguing restaurants/bars and it would have been nice to walk around. I'm definitely going back in the spring to check it out again.

Two excellent meals here! The patio was a great spot to enjoy dinner and drinks. We had the nettle fettuccine and the top sirloin, both awesome. Steak was cooked to medium-rare perfection as asked. Potatoes were good, green goddess sauce a bit different, but tasty. House-made pasta MADE the fettuccine dish, the sauce had a nice spiciness and the pancetta incredible! Can't wait to come back! Best restaurant in Glenwood.

We gave this place two chances and we were disappointed both times. First attempt, we went for dinner and the host, who made no eye contact and did not greet us, had us waiting for 10-15 minutes before telling us that it was a 30 minute wait, we left and went to Colorado Ranch House (recommend this one). The second attempt was for lunch the following day, we got drinks and an appetizer which was only okay--and waited 2 hours at least for our main courses which never came. The waiter kept promising us that the food was about to come out and we waited and waited and nothing... We even saw a large group being served before us and others too that had come in after us. We eventually left and went to another restaurant and were served in 15-20 minutes. The service at The Pullman is terrible and even at their own admission ("We made a mistake") I recommend avoiding this place until their service improves.

We were in Glenwood Springs for our Anniversary and found this gem. Our waiter was fabulous and we made a reservation on a Saturday and walked right in to a great table. I had the truffle potato pierogi, and they were fantastic. Great find!

Came here with my boyfriend during vacation in Glenwood. Cocktails - excellent. Bf's burger was good- though he said he would have enjoyed lettuce /tomato with it. I had the eggplant cannelloni - I would not recommend this dish. The risotto was more like sticky rice and the whole thing was bland. Perhaps this isn't the best spot for vegetarians.

best bone marrow ... EVER! if I could give half stars, this place would get 4 1/2, but since I can't, i'll up it to a 5 - only because the super friendly bartender chatted with us and gave T a taster of a tequilla old fashioned while we were waiting for our table and because our waitress brittany was so fun and the service was top notch. i was completely satisfied with everything about the pullman. all our food was deeee-lish. i have to agree with the other reviewers though - the portions are a bit on the smaller side, which would be why I would give 4 1/2 stars. they were perfect for me, but not enough to satiate T's appetite. we ordered one piece of bone marrow, half a dozen oysters, lardo, and went for a second piece of bone marrow for our appetizers. as I stated above, best bone marrow ever! drenched in butter and topped with a red onion jam, all the flavors melted together. the lardo was nice and salty, with a sweet taste from the asian pears. our main dishes were the pork belly and sea scallops. both of the mashed potato sides complimented the main dishes extremely well. the pork belly could have used a little crispiness to it, but it was fall apart tender and you could taste the true flavor of the meat. the scallops were nicely cooked, but there were only three in the dish. for dessert we had the butterscotch budino which was light and airy. T loves salted caramel so this really hit the spot with him. total damage of the food including 4 vodka lemonades, 2 old fashions and a Moscow mule ... $120. this was the best experience I've had in a long time. too bad Glenwood is 3 hours away from home or i'd definitely be frequenting this place a lot.

This is a cool, trendy place. The energy was very up, even for off season. They also are following the trend of very interesting foods. I had a chicken dish that had a mustard sauce. It was so strong that I smelled all next day of the sauce. The brussel sprouts were also very strong in vinegar. The portions are also very modest. We probably will not return when we are back in the area.

Lots of good energy here with diverse patrons. The asian appetizer was yum! Good selection of draft beers. Staff is well trained with fast service. The shrimp entree as well as the bolognese were delicious. Dine on the outdoor patio, sit at the bar or be seated at a cozy table by the window.

Stopped here on our way to Denver. This place does a great job of offering delicious and unique dishes. The atmosphere is great and we enjoyed ourselves. I would skip the Bone Marrow though. I tried it because of all the hype on the Food Network. Everything else was great.

The ambiance was cool in a town that is decidedly not, so this was by far the best option of all the restaurants to choose from. The cucumber vodka with mint cocktail was fantastic. The gnocci salad amazing. By the time I got my salmon, I was full, but ate it anyway because it was very good, too. Our server Joy was great. Only disappointment was that as soon as we said we were not ordering any dessert/more drinks, we were completely ignored, even though we were still finishing our previously ordered drinks. But, that is a fairly small complaint. This place was great.

The food is way overpriced! The server was very attentive - but that still didn't make up for the price I paid for so little food. I had eaten in other restaurants in the area and their prices were in line for both the quality as well as the quantity of their offerings.

Great place! Found The Pullman on Yelp and decided to stop here for lunch after seeing their terrific menu on their website. The Roasted Bone Marrow was outstanding! Not many restaurants have it. I loved that they gave me a spoon so I could enjoy every bite! We really enjoyed the way their menu was laid out from small salads to large salads and from small to large plates. They have sandwiches too and a good variety of microbrews. We had the mussels and polished them off clear to the bottom of the bowl. I overheard one of the waitstaff say that they change their menu selections quite often. It's nice to know they're keeping their dishes fresh!

Great food, service and view looking right out to the mountains and Colorado river. We had the roast beef sandwich on fresh baked bread which is grilled. The sandwich has a bit to it but nothing a nice cold beer could nor cure. Definitely will come back next time we pass through.

Wow! This place is great and exceeded our expectations!!! From start to finish our experience was fantastic! We started with the burrata. For the main course we had the duck meat balls, braised rabbit and the pork belly. The duck meat balls were delicious!! Our kids shared this dish and ate all of it!! It is very flavorful! The braised rabbit was disappointing. I think the broth took away from it. This was least favorite of our entire meal. The pork belly was rich and delicious!! The Flavors came together perfectly. We will definitely look forward to coming back on our next trip! The prices are great too!!!

This was my third time at Pullman 8-11-13. I had a rabbit and pasta dish. I felt there was too much meat (6-7oz.) for the small amount of pasta( 1/4c). The chanterelle mushrooms were tasteless. My husband had shrimp and grits, we both agreed the grits were too cheesy. My daughter enjoyed her steak salad. My other child enjoyed a burger. I had a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc and an ice tea (bitter). You need to remove the tea bags after brewing to avoid that. The hostess was nice. Our waitress was good. My first time here was a four star in taste and service, the past two are three stars. I'm not excited about it anymore .

Rick and his staff at The Pullman did a fanstastic job! We started out with roasted marrow, and then I had the roasted bass. All the food, as much as is possible, is locally sourced. What I really appreciated was the way ALL the staff worked together. I really know it's a good place when the manager is out there helping with the tabels and not standing idly by. Well done! Our server, Marj, took good care of us. Well done all!

Just ate here and we may go back tomorrow! I was amazed to find a restaurant like this here. We ordered the house chips and the pork rinds to start. My kids loved them all. The bread was pretty yummy too. Dinner: - the mussels (my 11 year old) he loved the sauce and the fries that came with. He never shared so I never tried them. He ate every bit and cleaned the sauce with his bread. -Kids pasta and side salad: (my 3 year old) I do not know how any kid could go way hungry with the huge portion size of this. Needless to say she did not finish. It was adult sized. -Kids chicken fingers and mashed potatoes (my 9 year old) he is a very light eater so he tends to order from the kids menu. The potatoes we so good (he shared) He couldn't finish this meal but he ate all the pork rinds so maybe that's why. -Truffled perougies (sp?) my husband loved these. They were very rich. He shared too. The truffle taste was perfect. -Pork belly and grits: (me!) insanely good and I thought the price was outstanding. At home (San Diego) this would cost double. It was cooked perfectly and the accompanying sauce was flavorful. I licked my plate with my fingers a little. -Dessert: flour less chocolate cake with strawberry gelato. Good. Especially the gelato. Kids had ice cream off the kids menu and it was great, no odd tastes at all. Service was nice, happy, and friendly and when my 3 year old broke her glass on the floor they were very sweet and funny about it. Loved that. All in all I loved this place. The price was amazing compared to larger cities and that pork belly is almost worth a drive back from Southern California. We have one more night in town, we may be back.

Got off the train in Glenwood Springs and had some time to kill. Checked my phone for a place to eat and saw this as the top rated yelp place. Came in and noticed it wasn't the usually place you'd find in a small mountain town. It looked more like a place that you'd find in a trendy part of LA. i ordered the grilled cheese with short rib meat and my GF got the gnocchi Salad. Both things were just amazing. We also ordered the lemonade which tasted fresh and yummy. Service was great food was great. Cant wait to go again.

My wife and I visited Pullman for lunch and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is hip and the staff friendly and knowledgable. As for the food...we really liked it! Very fresh, tasty, and innovative. Do your tastebuds a favor and give this place a try if you're in the area.

This was our first time at the this restaurant and it was awesome. A food lover's restaurant. Not run-of-the-mill fare. We went on a Thurs. night (6:15) and did not have a wait. There were many choices, as well as, sizes of dishes (though we did not view the kids' menu) for different appetite levels. We started w/appetizers of Marinated Olives (they have the pits-be careful) and the Peanut Kimchi (kind of like an Asian cole slaw.) The Kimchi was a nice, light appetizer, and a little spicy. Our entrees were the Roasted Chicken and Crisp Pork Belly. WOW!! Savory Flavors Galore! Both were delicious. The Pork Belly is from the Small Plate selection so I paired it with the Mac-n-Cheese. The chicken is from the Large Plate selection and was set on top of a medley of asparagus, baby potatoes (or new potatoes) and bacon (maybe a quarter of a chicken.) Dessert: I believe there were 5 or 6 items to choose from. We could not decide on one so we picked the Nutella Bread Pudding w/ bacon caramel toffee, blueberry preserves and rum caramel and the Salted Chocolate Pie w/peanut butter crunch crust & peanut butter anglaise. Both were delicious but the Nutella one was my favorite. The presentation of the meals also added to the experience too. The Pork and Chocolate Pie dishes were served on slate slabs. The couple at the table next to us couldn't take their eyes off of our desserts and asked what we ordered. They proceded to tell us that The Pullman was mentioned in Esquire Magazine as one of the Top Restaurants in the U.S. For 2011. They also said that the Chef-Owner's other restaurants in Carbondale, CO (just down the road...towards Aspen) called Six89 and Phat Thai were very good too. This is our new favorite place in Glenwood Springs.

Stopped in for NYE dinner 2012. What a great choice!!! ** Cocktails - A fine selection and something for everyone. My favorite was their version of the Moscow mule. Delicious! My GF had a great whisky drink that came with one HUGE ice cube. Liked that little touch. ** Dinner - We started with a 1/2 dozen oysters which had a champagne foam. From there we moved to share the gnocchi salad. A MUST every time you go here. Flavors were just popping. After we cleaned that plate dry, we shared the pork belly. A little small but still flavorful. And we ended our meal with the black mussels. Make sure you order an extra bread basket cause you will want to soak up all that great sauce. Glenwood Springs is a small little spot but this restaurant is a hidden gem in Colorado. If you are hitting the hot springs, make sure you stop in.

Overall, we had a great dining experience. Prices are affordable for the Aspen area. We had the bone marrow, pork belly, duck breast, and fried artichokes. The onion jam that accompanied the bone marrow was a little too sweet and overpowering for my taste. Everything else was delicious. Would definitely get the pork belly and duck breast again. Fried artichoke was good, but nothing special. We've also been to Harmon's in Denver, and I think The Pullman had better food.

This restaurant was one of the main highlights of our mini honeymoon that we took in Glenwood. First of all, the place is adorable. Think warehouse/loft like area with quite a bit more class. Add to that the fact that they support local farmers and sustainable practices, and we were hooked. Our amazing wait person Raquel was incredibly friendly and adept, and made our experience even more fabulous. We started with the Sweet Potato soup with curry foam. AMAZING. It was delicious, and combined with the house made bread? To die for! Following that, we shared the Gnocchi salad. Yes, that is correct; gnocchi IN a salad. This dish was likely the best single dish I have eaten all year, and that's saying a lot, since I eat a lot. I smelled the truffle oil and mushrooms as it left the kitchen, and every bite was literally heavenly. Make sure you get this; otherwise, your life will never be complete. Raquel then let us know that since everything was literally made to order, the chef was squishing the tomatoes four our eggplant cannelloni, and it would right out. Stuffed with mushroom risotto, it was delicious, although our least favorite of the 4 courses. Still very tasty and perfect for a nice, light lunch. We finished with the pumpkin cheese cake with pumpkin seed crust. Not exactly what we expected for cheese cake, but beyond amazing taste sensations and textures. I would drive the 3 hours from Denver for the gnocchi salad alone; not to mention the rest of the delicious foods. Highly recommended!

Too bad I can't give this a zero. Avoid this place - how pretentiousness has entered our town is beyond my understanding but it has. Couple the horrendous service with below average food and weak drinks and you have a total loser of an establishment. Just say no to this place!!! We were greeted by a host (male, wearing a hat) who was incredibly rude. We arrived at 8:10pm for our 8:30pm reservation, and were curtly informed a table wasn't available - which was fine with us, we had planned on sitting at the bar for a cocktail anyway. However when the host sat a walk in, with no reservation, we inquired as to why, and we were told to "stay out of his space." I'm not even kidding. A huge bummer for Glenwood Springs. I will never return.

If you are in the area you must go to this place. Everything I tried was delicious: duck nuggets, freshly fried pork rinds, carmelized pork belly, gnocchi salad, Reuben sandwich. Mmmm. And don't forget dessert. I love this spot. I wish I had one in my hometown.

We were in Glenwood for a week. We ate at the Pullman 4 times. It is that good. We are foodies and were like addicts instantly. The ability to order several small dishes makes for such and incredible epicurean experience! And the desserts...we ordered seconds took home to our kids because they were so good. And..we typically don't let them have a lot of sugar!

Burger, salad awesome. Atmosphere loud but festive, a bit pricey. We'd go back for sure. However as the day wore on I realized that I got sick from the food. All I had was a burger and salad. So if you choose to eat here be sure your stomach can tolerate the food.

Came here after reading high reviews about this place. Traveling and thought we needed something different than fast food. Everyone has different taste and this place didn't satisfy mine or my family. All looked good and expected something more for the price. I got the BBQ sandwich. Didn't like the flavor. Though it was good to try a different taste of BBQ. Coleslaw was different than your usual. A lot of vinegar! But good. Homemade chips sucked. Not sure if they were suppose to be brown and taste burnt. Didn't feel like complaining to waiter since it took almost 15 to 20 minutes to get our food. Husband got the lamb sandwich. Not great. His stomach hurt after eating it. But again something different to try. Got two kids meals that was not worth 9.00. Kids liked it guess all that counts. As with other reviewer I agree on the kid signs everywhere. They should have a sign for adults to keep there shoes on. Lady next to me had her shoes off and sitting Indian style so all I saw while I ate was her toes and bottom of her dirty feet. I am all for comfort but come on. The cap for the water bottle was so dirty. Needs to be cleaned! But the water was good but grossed out knowing how dirty the cap was. Waiter gave us no ice for water. Again should have asked but waiter didn't return until the long waited food arrived!! There was four tables outside we really wanted to sit at. Ask the hostess and said non avail outside. Not sure if they were held or needed cleaned but as we sat inside she sat people outside. One person to a table of four. Boo on that !! Overall this is my nic picking and I did like the style and atmosphere. But won't pick this place again if traveling through this town again. Too pricey and over rated.

Flavor combinations were perfect. Traveling all over the US and dining at high quality restaurants, this was a top 5 meal of all time. Everything thing from Nitro Stout to truffle oil pork rinds, pork belly kimchee, flat iron steak, apple fritters with gingerbread ice cream, to Irish coffee, flavor combinations were spot on. Menu is changed up with different items. We didn't make reservations and there was a :25-:30 wait. They will take your name and phone number and call you when a table is available. We had a beer at the Glenwood brewing company and didn't even get half way through before they called HOLDING the table till we got there. That's service!! Axel was a phenomenal server on a very busy night. I would visit Glenwood Springs just to eat at this restaurant!!!

Not a good place to eat, first thing I noticed was the grease on the front door when we walked in after that just went down hill.. server forgot abut us then finally we received our food and it looked pretty however the salmon I ordered had no flavor best was the mashed patatos and green beans were good, my wife's food duck meatloaf was ok till we got back to the room and she got sick - GREAT !! - what a nice beginning to our NOW short weekend. Sorry guys you failed to get a good grade.

Love love LOVE this place! After reading countless Yelp reviews, this was a must visit stop on our trip. We weren't disappointed. Between the watermelon and pork appetizer, the peach gazpacho, the lamb meatballs, and the carrot cake beignets, we found ourselves a fabulous meal. Everything was executed wonderfully and the chef clearly wasn't afraid to experiment. I think the most impressive thing I tried from the menu was their Nutella bread pudding with bacon ice cream - quite gutsy for a dessert (and it worked, too!).

Attention to detail was outstanding. Staff helpful. Luke was our server and made great suggestions. Chef was outstanding. Menu creative and our food delicious. I had to know where Chef trained, not surprised to learn he was a CIA graduate. Prices were far less than would pay for equivalent yumminess in denver. Try it, reservations suggested.

Love the Pullman! I will say what varies the most is their wait staff. Not everyone is friendly and down to earth. I will say in the past 9 months their staff has been top notch. I wish I could remember our last server's name who was so pleasant and attentive that when I see him again I will definitely ask to sit in his section. The Pullman can have an intimidating menu but the right server with the right attitude will put you to ease immediately. I've never had a bad meal here from the truffle pork rinds to the salads, pierogies, gnocchi, poutine or large plate options. My husband and I love their seasonal specials too. It's our favorite place for a date in our hometown.

This restaurant was amazing. There were 4 in our party, we did not have a reservation but they were able to get us in with no wait. The food was some of the best I have ever had. We had the Pork, Steak, and Pierogis. It was amazing, the chef did a great job with the recipes and the team did a great job preparing them. Bread Pudding topped of the meal. We will be back.

This place is too expensive for what you get. We came here based on the reviews while on vacation. The kids meals were $8 and everyone of my kids left hungry the portions were so small... We felt like we were in a French restaurant where the portions are expected to be small. This place billed it's self as "American", but I can honestly say it was more eclectic. $9 small portion mac and cheese and some really weird dishes and flavors. It is almost like the chef is trying too hard to be different.

The Pullman in Glenwood Springs, CO absolutely NEVER disappoints! I have been several times, and each time I've gone I have tried something I've never had. The last time it was goat tostadas. The service is excellent; the food is beyond wonderful. Definitely worth the money.

I easily just had one of the top 10 best meals I have ever eaten. The Pullman in Glenwood Springs is a place you must experience. Not only is Glenwood Springs a beautiful town, the addition of The Pullman to restaurant row makes this a must visit town. The Pullman has only been open 11 days or so, and has already made it's mark on the community. For an appetizer I had the fries, soft egg, truffle and reggiano. Separately all the ingredients are great, but once I took a bite of it all together it's was like a party in my mouth and everyone was invited. I had the Kale and Parmesan salad with pinenuts and currants. It was fresh and crisp and the champagne vinaigrette was the perfect dressing. For a main dish I had the risotto with farro, heirloom squash and chickpeas, yogurt and coriander. Needless to say it was gone in minutes. I also got dessert which I don't normally do. I had the Butterscotch Burdino and all I can say is if I could cheat on my wife with a dessert, it would be with this. So my big beef with restaurants is that they will throw some dishes on the menu for vegetarians because they don't want to get bitched at. The Pullman really thought out the vegetarian options and I don't' know if I have ever had any better. I hope I get a chance to get back to Glenwood Springs very soon.

A trendy & cool place for dinner or lunch. The only problem I have is their food isn't always "hot"...I've sent dishes back because they are cold. If they could fix this problem I would eat here more often over Juicy Lucy's (next door) but so far JL's is the winner. The servers are super friendly, they have local beers on tap and I recommend making reservations.

Wow a fifteen was what Anet said. We could bring our fussiest restaurant critic to The Pullman and they would be overjoyed with the Menu, the service and the food. We were just stopping for lunch and as usual yelp led us to The Pullman. I started out with some marinated olives (excellent) followed by a BLT, currently rated as The Best BLT ever. The Salad with a simple grilled chicken on top was a GREAT salad with all the right greens that would make us a real regular if we only lived or visited Glenwood Springs more often. Oh Well! If I was driving down I70 and it was anywhere near lunch or dinner, this is where I would want to be! Incredible

Best food ever in Glenwood Springs!!! I had the grass fed burger with caramelized onions and cheese. Yummy! The best was the dessert - Gingerbread ice cream with Apple pie ravioli top with salted caramel and green apple slices. If you are in Glenwood Springs for the hot springs, make sure to stop at the Pullman restaurant for a meal. You will not be disappointed!!!

Great food. Super nice staff and kid friendly! Yay! I had the fried chicken and it was dirty good. Merle had the goat something or other. He liked it, but he felt as if it wasn't a lot of food. I say that's what you get for eating goat! What I liked best is how they have a great kids menu that includes desert and they brought her food out first. Anyone that has a kid can appreciate that!

Such a great space with great food. Went for a girls weekend in glenwood and dined at the Pullman the first night. The place was hoppin but service was friendly from the front door to the table. Our waiter was so friendly and took time to chat and explain the menu. Had the poutine- don't miss this dish, very nice red wine gravy. The crispy crab cake was so light and the watermelon really complemented the dish. On to main course- highly recommend the pork belly also had the steak and a veggie stew which were great. Nice emphasis on the Veg not just an afterthought. Didn't have room for dessert because portions were ample but enjoyed the Ginny cucumber. Talked about the poutine many times and of course our cute waiter ;) ahh girls weekends!

It was nice to find this place in Glenwood Springs. We were staying in Aspen and visiting the hot springs for the day, and popped in for lunch. It was better than the places we ate at in Aspen during the same trip. Not exactly their fault, but everything I ordered was very heavy. Lots of butter and oil. My wife really liked her salad. It was kid friendly and the waiters were very nice to our two kids (1 and almost 5). I'd return again - there were a lot of interesting things on the menu.

We hit the Pullman during the week after reading great reviews and hearing from some friends that it was great. It did not disappoint. I had a very good cocktail--7th street--it was gin, grapefruit, thyme simple syrup--damn good. Good house red wine, but the real treats were the food. Had an absolutely wonderful acorn squash soup served with marshmallows-- it had some heat from black pepper, but the sweetness of the marshmallow cut it nicely. Steak salad was really good as well and the kicker was the apple ravioli with gingerbread ice cream(house made)--killed it! If you are thinking about trying it--just do it. In fact we are going back tomorrow. Service was very good as well as is the ambience.

Finally got around to trying The Pullman this weekend while a friend was in town visiting. This place is great! Our food was all awesome - we had the lamb meatballs and feta gnudi, the pulled pork and cheddar grits and the truffled pea agnolotti. And for dessert, my friend ordered the strawberry rhubarb cobbler with basil ice cream. YUM. The service was a tiny bit slow, but I'll let that slide the first time around - especially because the food was so good. The one odd thing we encountered was that we had to wait quite awhile for menus after we were seated. The manager explained why, but his rationale didn't quite make sense to me. Next time I'm in Glenwood Springs, I'll make an effort to visit The Pullman again.

Best meal and experience of 2013, hands down. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the restaurant scene was perfect. My boyfriend and I came in for a late Sunday night dinner. We were quickly and kindly whisked away to our tables. The restaurant was well-lit, clean, and had a warm vibe. Our server, Tiffany, quickly introduced herself and she was the best server I've had all year. Throughout the whole night she was attentive (but not over-bearingly so), provided recommendations, chatted us up when we wanted to be chatted up and left us alone when we wanted to be alone. Food was brought out and drinks were poured quickly. As I mentioned, the meal too was the best of 2013. I had a special, a 10oz pork on the bone with a bed of bacon (!!) kale and a side of banana bread spread on the bottom. Amazing. My boyfriend had the duck and he said it was excellent as well. We also had the chips with blue cheese (very good) and 2 oysters on the half shell (excellent). They rotate their menus every 6 weeks and it's an interesting mix of meals for nearly everyone. Everything from bone marrow to basic american fare. Good beer list, but if I HAD to find a negative, I wish there were more beers on tap. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it!

Tried the pullman by rec of an staffer at village smittys in carbondale...not dissappointed! Served at bar as there was a 45 min wait, although tables still empty while we ate at bar the entire time? Our bar waiter was an expert re: menu suggestions were right on. We started with pork rinds with truffle oil (although this was almost a deterant as truffle oil is a no no in culinary circles---if you like to watch chopped) they were crispy airy and delicious. Next oysters from pugent sound WA interesting small and tangy and pricey $2.50 per oyster. Duck version of Pho was very good. Duck nuggets with rhubarb catsup my favorite. Salmon grilled perfectly melts in your mouth laid nicely over smoked pureed potatoes. Dessert equally worth it ...we split all our plates which made dessert a possibility. $75 without tip for 2 without alcohol. Great birthday dinner. Will visit if ever back in Glenwood

So, at the prompting of the manager I went back and gave The Pullman another pull. Once again the service was friendly, attentive and engaging. (This was true on my prior visit, despite the 'problem') Food was like art. You almost feel bad taking the first bite - but it tastes so good... Pork watermelon appetizer was delicious, I could have eaten two more This time I went for steak. Still a little chicken of the chicken. The steak was very good but - when cooked - the chicken still was better. Everyone was so nice and the atmosphere was so welcoming that I have to give 5* This should be a treat during any stay in Glenwood Springs

Waiter was very courteous and not pushy at all. Food was okay, for the price it was pretty good. But after eating the Gnocchi at French Laundry in Yountville, CA, nothing else really compares. The gnocchi I got was slightly burnt, but the service and the lemonade was so good that it didn't matter as much. My dish: Butternut Squash, Mushroom, Gnocchi, + Greens Salad. I recommend coming here pre or post hot-springs bathing. :)

This review for lunch only. More formal than the Grind down the street for lunch, with more seating, too, the Pullman serves a terrific lunch, albeit a little pricey. You get what you pay for, though. In a cool space that was formerly a dance club for the younger crowd is The Pullman. Exposed brick walls, an open kitchen and a trendy feel make this restaurant THE new place to dine while in Glenwood Springs. Wait staff are friendly, fairly knowledgeable and attentive, though our server today had not tried the soup special, the Palisades Peach Gazpacho. "I don't like cold soup," says she. Honey, you gotta try the food to be a foodie! The burger was outstanding. Perfectly imperfect in its handmade construction, cooked precisely and topped with wonderful caramelized onions and cheddar cheese. Mmmm! The bun was an oversized English muffin which was exactly the right size for the patty and actually the right wrap choice for this haute cuisine burger. A simple salad comes with the dish consisting of field greens tossed with a light vinaigrette. You may sub fries or cole slaw and chips for the salad. Chef done good. $12. Equally impressive was the Cobb sandwich, turkey, bacon, avocado and blue cheese on a nice baguette. The slaw is delightful, and the house made potato chips were the best I have had in some time. Dark and flavorful, the chips are a reason on their own to come to The Pullman. $11. I shoulda known the food would be outstanding. When we walked in I ordered an iced tea. In contrast to the awful southern sweet tea I had in Nashville recently these Colorado folk could teach those southerners how to make proper tea. Iced tea is simple. So it is that if a restaurant's iced tea is lousy you can usually bet the food will be terrible, too. Nice job on the tea, Pullman. So think really good, but be prepared to open the wallet. TP is def worth a visit if you are in the Glenwood Springs, Aspen, Eagle, and Rifle area. I look forward to providing a dinner review soon!

Great food, great atmosphere, diamond find in a little town. We went to the Pullman on the recommendation of a friend, and we were happy for it. The prices were palatable, the selection was enviable, the flavor combinations were well chosen... what's more to want?

This place is a total win. The food is amazing. The cocktails, also amazing. And the dessert, too, was (you guessed it) amazing. My parents took me to this place for a belated birthday dinner, and nothing we ordered wasn't great. The roasted chicken was about as good as roasted chicken gets; the scallops were cooked perfectly, too. The cocktails are creative and fun. The "push pop" was like a perfect,grown-up creamsicle in drink form. (Don't judge me; it was my birthday!) Also, the bread pudding for dessert. Delish. Service was good. Atmosphere was on the nice side of casual. Totally worth the cost!

This is probably as trendy as it gets in the area. My party of 6 was 30 minutes early for our reservation, so we decided to hang out around the bar. I was looking for Guiness but that's not available, so the bartender suggested Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro. It's from Colorado and I have a thing for local brews. It tastes very similar to Guiness, if not, better! Before I finished my first beer, our table was ready. We were seated right in the middle of the open area of the stylish (almost NYC style) restaurant. The waiter promptly handed us our menus, filled our waters, and told us about the specials for the day. All of which sounded appetizing. We ordered short rib tacos, mac and cheese, duck meat made into a pate like texture, deviled eggs, and more beer for starters. I ordered the fish special for my entree, grouper w/ kale and mashed sweet potatoes. The beer and apps came out promptly, even though we weren't served any of the bread that was being cut at the huge cutting board right next to us. The deviled eggs were delicious, bacon-y, and rich. The duck was part of the specials, it dark meat duck cooked in its own fat until a pate like texture is formed. It was very tasty and went well with the arugula on the plate. Mac and cheese had a very good combination of cheese and topping. My favorite appetizer was the short rib tacos. It was topped with a light kim chi (real kim chi is very pungent) that added a nice crunch and spice to the tender short ribs. The fish special was pan seared grouper. The flaky white fish was served on top of kale with bacon mixed in. At the very bottom of the pile is some mashed sweet potato. I was a little disappointing at the main course since all of the prior dishes were amazing. The grouper itself was very good. Cooked to the right temperature, moist, flavorful. The kale that was below it didn't really work with the dish. It was a little too sharp and too salty. I think spinach would have worked better. The mashed sweet potato decent, tasted as it should. All of the other entrees at the table looked delicious, especially the mussels and frites. After a long 20 minute wait after ordering dessert (longer than we had waited for our entrees), I received my Pumpkin Bread Pudding. It was worth the wait and putting me over my 'full' threshold. I tried my friend's cereal milk dessert and it was amazing. This was a great dinner after a few hours in the hot springs. Beware the price of the 'specials' as they do not tell you off the bat and can charge whatever they like. Their most expensive entree on the menu is $20. But my grouper was $24, which I wouldn't pay for had I known the quality and price. This was a great experience nonetheless and I can't wait to go back in a month!!

I stopped by this restaurant because the brewery nearby was too busy and I didn't want to wait. It was a lucky decision. The interior space of the restaurant is beautiful and the food is incredible. It's as gourmet as one would find in much larger towns but at Glenwood Springs prices. This should definitely be a stop for any hungry travelers on I-70.

Was so psyched to find this place thanks to Yelp! My party and I were traveling through Glenwood Springs for the night and staying at Hotel Colorado which was conveniently located right across the bridge from this restaurant, within an easy walking distance. We were graciously seated at 9:35 without any attitude or flippancy which was a great sign to start out with and something that I wish most eateries would enact. After waiting for a little too long for our server to come over and greet us, when he arrived he immediately apologized for the delay and took our order for both our food and drinks. We wanted to be polite to the kitchen and go ahead and get our food order in as soon as possible. There was some Colorado craft beer choices on the draft list including some obscure selections from Great Divide and Odell's. We got house truffled parmesan fries, the braised chicken | green onion cavatelli pasta and a local beet arugula salad. All the dishes featured local produce and local meat which elevated the food to tasting fresh and delicious. The beet salad was perfect as well as the braised chicken pasta. They were perfectly balanced and the portions were spot on. What a lovely addition to the Glenwood Springs dining scene. The Owner also has some Thai restaurants called 'Phat Thai' in Carbondale and Cherry Creek which I am now moved to try.

We had seven plates here across two hours. The service was outstanding, Rick Dufon/MGR was at the table four times ensuring service and food were tracking. He came from Portland's Restaurant/bar out of PHX - they must miss him down there. Aggressively priced wine list - everything is at/under $40 bottle. Ask for the off-list options though too Cocktails to start for the wifie and me, a bottle, and digestifs with the nutella bread pudding and bacon ice cream to finish off the night - tab = $200 unbelievable and best of all - incredible evening.

This is the best place in Glenwood Springs. You have to go here if your going to eat in this town. I don't eat pork or beef (unless it is from one of my cows, you really should know your beef) and I still had a great meal.

We were passing through Glenwood Springs & read the reviews of best food in town so decided to stop at the Pullman. Even on an off season Tuesday night, the place was full with great atmosphere. We were seated quickly & staff was very friendly. Food was excellent, and would especially recommend the pork tostada app. Menu was interesting & unique. Prices were reasonable. Only critique was guacamole seemed a little tired but it was late and we had been dining in southern California the week before. Overall would definitely recommend.

I was soo excited the eggplant cannelloni is still on the menu!!! We ordered this entree as our appetizer and it was as good as I remembered. Next we shared a beet salad. Nothing new, but perfect nevertheless. My entree was three expertly cooked fresh scallops on top of an amazing orzo risotto. The food is really good, the service is great and the ambiance is just right.

We ate here based on other reviews from Yelp and were pleasantly surprised by the creative menu and the quality of the food. We ate a late dinner, around 9 pm on a Friday night, and while they were wrapping up service we didn't feel like we were hurried or should cut our meal short. Some of the food was just 'ok:' the oysters (but I just moved from the Pacific NW, so I'm spoiled) and the sweetbread (but the hubby really liked it). The kimchee was mellow and should be more fermented, but the peanuts was a fun creative surprise. Short rib tacos were quite good. BEST = truffled pierogies. Ahhhhmazing! Desert was also delicious-- carrot cake beignets! I would highly recommend this place for a real dining treat. The rest of the menu looked great as well.

I got drawn in by the Yelp 4.5 star overall rating. I read the more negative reviews and just didn't want to believe them. But they were right and I was wrong. I booked the Pullman for my husband's 66th birthday lunch. It was a pleasant time but not what either of us were hoping, especially after just experiencing lunch at The Goat in Carbondale and Frying Pan Kitchen in Basalt. The Pullman rated a distant third. We had the crispy crab cake appetizer to share. It was pretty good -moist and flavorful even though the deep fried color had me wary. We thought we were off to a good start. That was until my husband asked me to taste his iced tea. Blech - it tasted like coffee. Our attentive, competent server acknowledged that they brewed their tea through the coffee machine. Whaaaat? She generously offered a fresh glass but the coffee taste was even stronger. He switched to water. My husband had the pastrami sandwich special. It was okay but nothing more than that - just pastrami on ciabatta bread, definitely not piled high as described. The slaw was nothing but green cabbage with a little bottled dressing. My quinoa salad was tasty but nothing super and pretty small given the $10 price that did not include any unusual ingredients. The mac and cheese that my husband got as a side was decent but it is definitely NOT a pasta entree as intimated on the menu. We thought dessert might save the day and since it was his birthday, we decided to try the cinnamon bun bread pudding. The expresso ice cream was delicious but the bread pudding was so salty (an extreme over-reach on salted carmel, we presume) that all we could do was shake our heads and wish we'd dined at The Goat. To her credit, our server was both delightful and professional. She comp'd us for the iced tea (coffee) and gave us dessert on the house, which was generous and ended our experience on an uptick. But not enough so to return. Ever.

Good food, eccentric menu...but not blow-your-socks-off food. Per other Yelp reviews, I tried the gnocchi salad, short rib tacos, and finished with the strawberry rhubarb pie with basil ice cream. Best dish: Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. They make the Sweet Basil Ice Cream in house and it is Awesome! Interesting combination but perfect! The tartness of the pie is balanced by the sweet ice cream. However, for the other 2 dishes...not impressed. One suggestion to the restaurant....both dishes were a bit too salty. As for ambiance, it's loud...and more of a brewery atmosphere. But I bet I'll be back to try more.

Jeff R.
Amazing food. Had the Ham and Gruyere fritters to start. So tasty.. The saltiness cut well with the house preserves. Then I had the duck meatloaf and my date had the pullman burger. Both entrees were delicious. Our sever was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Recommend this place to anyone in the area and when I visit again will for sure eat here.

Loni G.
Great service and an inventive, yet not too challenging menu. Lots to choose from,very reasonably priced for the quality (except the deviled eggs and oysters...) and really well prepared. Our waiter was really well versed in gluten-safe options and even the more obscure pitfalls of the menu. The only turn-off were the tvs in the dining room. We'll definitely go back!

At the time of writing, there were 74 other reviews of The Pullman and ZERO with only 1 or 2 stars. I have never seen this on Yelp. Even the critics can't be too negative about the food. My party had - the gnocchi salad: mixed greens with pan seared gnocchi, asparagus and shiitake mushrooms. The gnocchi were so parmesan-y! I loved it and could have eaten 3 plates myself. - the macaroni and cheese: mild and simple, I thought it could've used a nice burnt crust of cheese from some oven time, but my boyfriend -- connesseur of mac and cheese -- loved it. - mussels: yes. Just yes. Order them if you like moules frites at all. Maybe save some of that hot sourdough bread and dip it in the broth. It came with spicy sausage bits and cheese/herb drizzled fries. SO MANY MUSSELS! I will dream of swimming in them. - apple cobbler with sage ice cream. I wanted it because it sounded strange. Sage? Isn't that for rubbing on game? In the end, it tasted mostly like vanilla ice cream with a hint of Thanksgiving memories. It was just that subtle. Enjoy the view of the mountains and gondola. The quiet street seems almost European. Best restaurant in Glenwood Springs.

We had gone to another restaurant around the corner that had a huge wait and we were hungry hungry hungry!! The reviews on this spot were pretty good so we decided to stop in. My friends thought the prices were a bit high, but I don't mind paying a bit more for good food. The decor was amazing. I am a designer and looking at all the little embellishments that most people miss was interesting and fun. The food was great! I had the porcini rabbit, gnocchi salad, and the peach cobbler. Amazing!! Perfect portions and decent prices!!

4.5 Stars. Highly recommend this place if you are ever in Glenwood Springs. Awesome service and very tasty food. The staff was extremely attentive. I had the special which was the pork chop and it was cooked to perfection. My lady had the grass fed burger and it was cooked perfectly (to her request of course). We both had small salads and the 'chips' to start. Next time I'm in Glenwood, I'll go back.

We loved everything about this restaurant. If you are in Glenwood Springs this has to be on your list of places to go. The atmosphere is awesome and the staff is friendly without being overbearing. I ordered a simple grass fed beef burger and it blew me away. I never have very high standards for burgers but this is one I would absolutely order again. I only wish they had a location in Denver. The variety of price points on the menu makes this spot ideal.

Atmosphere: Trendy modern. Quite loud (brick and concrete floors). The bar helps break things up a bit. Menu: Fairly typical of modern American. Lots of fun twists on classic fare. Preparation: Our meals (rabbit - special, colorado bass, mac 'n cheese, and duck meatloaf) were excellent. Sides (esp. the creamed spinach) were very flavorful. Desserts (nutella bread pudding, carrot cake beignets and rhubarb crumble) were delicious. Service: The hostess managed to get us in on a very busy Sunday evening with only a 15 minute wait. Our waitress was attentive, personable and efficient. Food delivery was fast and well organized. Overall: A very nice find right along the waterfront in Glenwood Springs. Our teenage daughter loved it so much she wanted to go back the next evening. We'll be back!

Always ask your foodie friends for recommendations when you travel! -- great advice, and no less this time during a visit to Glenwood springs for the hot springs pool (which is also lovely). The Pullman is walking distance (easy walk) from the hot springs via the pedestrian bridge that parallels the pool and the interstate. Our family included two in their seventies and the walk/views were lovely. The restaurant is an almost spare, lovely open space with a great design that pays homage to the local Glenwood Springs history. But none of that is the reason for the 5 stars. The food is simply spectacular, nicely proportioned, perfectly flavored, and absolutely delicious--from a foodie family, that is high praise. Our meal was eclectic, as we are--the beef carpaccio, the crispy crab cake, then the pork belly, the bass, even a burger (my F-I-L from india, loves burgers!) Every bite was lovely--each dish was splendidly prepared. the crab cake was one of the best I've had--nearly all crab with a good balance of flavors. the pork belly was sublime (who likes the idea of a dish called 'belly'), but it was the favorite of the table second to the carpaccio. For those of you who like carpaccio, you'll know its difficult to make it well--this one was tops, with just the right mix of spice and arugula to entice your mouth. My daughter, tired from the springs pool all day, had the mac and cheese--a thing we would not usually do, as she doesn't know 'kraft' by sight. This one was excellent, subtle gruyere and not all sharp cheddar--we all were happy when she didn't finish it and added bites to our own plates. In short, when we travel to tourist places, we often pay too much for food that is worth too little--The Pullman was the opposite--great, beyond great food, non-intrusive but attentive service, a good wine list, a lovely location...we will go back.

Had the roasted chicken with gnocchi and my partner had the hanger steak with potatoes and horseradish sauce. Both were divine. We just visited on a whim after checking out some yelp reviews in the area and this place was a definite winner. Some of the best food I've ever had. Ambience was nice and service was fantastic even though we came in thirty minutes before closing... Our food was fresh and our server was excellent. Highly recommend this place!!!!

Back again and it was even more wonderful. We had pork rinds, Crispy pork belly, heirloom tomato salad, palisade peach margaritas, the salmon, the panroasted Colorado trout, fingerling potatoes, and Colorado ports for dessert. Everything was fabulous and this is really a five-star restaurant that we prefer over the Denver location.

When we walked in we were greeted by a cute little host and was quickly seated at the bar. We started with a nitro tap beer and the basil infused vodka with strawberry puree with balsamic vineagar. We had the pickled deviled eggs which were THE BOMB we got two more after. Then we had the lamb meatballs which were also delicious. Then we got rabbit tacos which I didn't care for but my boyfriend liked, they could've been a little warmer but the flavor was good. I finished with flat iron steak mid rare with fingerling potatoes which was so so so good. All in all experience and food was really good we will be back next time we go through.

Glenwood Springs has stepped up the culinary game, and The Pullman is at the top. We ordered truffled house made pork rinds, roasted natural chicken with spring pea spätzle and buttered carrot sauce, slow roasted pork shoulder with collard green risotto, crispy pickled onions, and flourless chocolate cake. Everything was outstanding, but the chocolate cake was my favorite. This restaurant will become one of my go to places whenever I am in Glenwood.

This place is delicious! We had the duck confit salad, pork shoulder sandwich and the bacon deviled eggs. Everything was amazing, including the service. Michael, our server, was very nice and is an asset to the restaurant. We hope to return the next time we're in Glenwood Springs.

We would rate it a zero if it was an option....because that's what we got. Zero. We walk through the door an hour before closing time, the place is turning a brisk business. No wait, maybe 80% sat. One server passed us by and asked for a second. The manager came up and asked if we had a reservation (party of 7). When we told HER no, she told us "we probably won't be able to get you service tonight." For those of you that don't understand, it means "I really don't feel like having you as a customer." We're local, we come to GC all the time, and all my fire department and army friends will be specifically instructed to never come here. A quick parse shows 65 one star reviews. How did they hide that? I see now how they got them.

Five stars, five stars, five stars! First visit: Went with my partner for Valentine's Day and were treated so well. It seems silly to be nervous about being treated well as a gay couple in 2015, but we still get hiccups. This place didn't give a vibe of non-inclusion at all! We had: - shishito peppers - kale salad - pierogis - chicken with brussels sprouts - smores boudini Every. Single. Item. Was. Perfect. The price was right on point - I'd call this upscale pub food in a complimentary way, for sure. This meal was perfect for a cool night in. Second visit: Went with my partner, friend, and mother-in-law. My MIL has some pretty serious food allergies so going to restaurants is always tough. Fortunately, we shared with our server and he took great care of us. Unfortunately for her, her first three decisions from the menu all had lemon in it and she's highly allergic. But, our server was great and would take the order, run to the kitchen, and get a breakdown from the chefs on what could and couldn't be cooked. We finally settled on - shishito peppers - scallops and pork belly - pierogis - mushroom bolognese - eggplant canelloni (x2) - butterscotch boudini Everything was DELICIOUS. It was semi-heavy food but completely spring-flavored, which was welcome because it got pretty cool the night we were there in early April. The mixed drinks were great and the wine was perfect, as well. They have a sign that states something about well-behaved kids being welcomed in the space, but there were some kids in the bathroom pretending to make...well...struggle-sounds (trying to be polite after whetting your whistles with the food review!) I didn't find it bad enough to report but I made sure to give a nice angry stare at the girls when I walked out. That'll teach 'em. If you're in Glenwood, go here. If you're in Denver, visit their sister restaurant - Harman's Eat & Drink. Tell the dessert chef Becca that Alison sent you and she'll treat you right.

Excellent food in a cozy mountain town. The Duck Fettucine was amazing, the broth was light and flavorful. The bacon pickled devil eggs tasted as amazing as it sounds. The first thing my husband noticed was the sign at the front door that read "We welcome well behaved children" then the bottom of the kids menu read "Dinning ettique encouraged" Obviously this place is serious about well behaved children, we made sure to keep our 4 year old in check! My son's PB&J was about 5 inches thick, the bread was soft and obviously made in house. Turns out the bread is made at their sister restaurant in Carbondale. I was impressed by the caliber of the restaurant in a small mountain town. I'd expect this level of cuisine in Aspen or Vail. The Pullman is a definite favorite!
Food was OK, we had shrimp salad and quinoa salad. Shrimp looked like there were defrost and put on plate - no flavor. 13$ for salad- not impressed. Good service but waiter did not offer any exchange after I said that it was not tasty.

We LOVED this place. We were staying at the hotel a block away and I had been reading the reviews and bookmarked it to check out. We're foodies who are very picky and really enjoyed The Pullman for dinner. Our server Emilee was friendly and knowledgeable about the food. I think she was so great I called her my spirit animal at one point?! She had such an enthusiasm for the menu and great recommendations. We had a bunch of things to share including the deviled eggs, cocktails(Emilee recommended a gin/grapefruit one saying even people who don't love gin like me enjoy it, it was great!), bolognese special, gnocchi small plate and blueberry cornflake dessert. Very affordable for what they offer. We were shocked with how low our bill was. In comparison to places near where we live this was 1/2 the cost and just as delicious. We left there SO FULL but so happy. We only wish we had The Pullman back where we live.

This place was awesome. This was my first time in Glenwood Springs...had an overnight stay for a business meeting in the AM. The service was great and location was awesome. Had a great view of the mountains and train station. I sat on the outdoor patio. I had the kale and pine nut salad and half dozen oysters to start. Then I had a side of Mac and Cheese followed by the Quayle. The Mac and Cheese was super heavy just like it should be and the toasted crutons were really good. I've never had Quayle before but I'm hooked. Roasted perfectly and the broth was amazing. I've I'm ever back I'll be stopping here again.

We loved everything about this dinner! Everything we tried was amazing. The prices were very reasonable. Between our appetizers and entrees it appeared they got a little overwhelmed, and our server Tiffany apologized and took money off our bill for the long wait! She was amazing! What a gem to find in a mountain town! Definitely worth a visit if you're in Glenwood Springs!

Rated a top 10 restaurant by Esquire magazine, among restaurants from New York and Los Angeles. If you're visiting Glenwood Springs and are in need of good food, go here. Great dinner, good lunch, they even told us about their sister restaurant in Denver which I visited and was impressed by. Good for gluten free people, knowledgable. Great place for a special occasion dinner, or just a nice night out on the town. Love it, will always make a point to go there when in town.

Came here for a Birthday lunch. Delicious! It has changed my mind about oysters on the half shell. I tried these before at other places and wasn't too sure I understood the appeal...but after trying the oysters here I am in love with them. I was delighted to have one of my favorite cheeses (Fontina) on my sandwich. The coco Manhattan cake was just the right amount of sweet and chocolate. My only recommendation for the management is to introduce another Colorado made liquor to the drink menu (Spring 44 Gin, made in Loveland CO). I can't wait to come back and try out their sister restaurant in Denver.

An unexpected surprise in Glenwood, the Pullman is trendy, upscale but not too fancy, and serves up some delicious food. We came here for a family dinner full of picky eaters, but everyone left happy. Our waitress made some good drink and appetizer suggestions and we ended up with the housemade kimchee, bacon pickled deviled eggs, and crispy pork belly, plus some salads. I'd love to try out some more dishes here, and come back in the summer when it will be warm enough to enjoy the front patio. Definitely a nice find in Glenwood, plus a nice view of the thermal pools and train.

Daaaaaayy'um! The Pullman delivers. Awesome attentive service without being hovering, deliciously crafted drinks, and an incredible assortment of menu items that makes it near impossible to order beyond one's appetite. We ended up splitting the butternut Squash salad and I dove into a delectable kim chee that made me weep with joy while we waiting for a burger and Cuban Sandwich. Here it is, two days later, and my husband is STILL wanting another Cuban from the Pullman. Everything we tasted - from the cocktail to the starter to the main - made me want to jump into the kitchen, put on an apron, and study under the chef (or bartender) until I mastered the delightful fusion of flavors and textures in each dish we had. Tragically, our visit was en route to a stay in Denver, but the hubby and I are talking about making a drive back to GS just so we can dine at the Pullman (and kill time at the hot springs between meals). The entire staff has their game ON - do not miss an opportunity to eat here!

Excellent eats. I had the pulled pork sandwich. It's basically a Cuban. The bread it was on was flakey and tasty. The baked butternut squash salad was also delish.

Cool spot, very typical farm to table restaurant. I went a couple of weeks ago, for dinner the night before a big hike. I'm just not the type to be able to do a lot of drinking AND hiking so I skipped their beautiful cocktail menu and settled on a home squeezed lemonade. The lemonade was decent, my husband's wine was thin but had an ok flavor. We tried deviled eggs and truffled pork rinds for starters, both were just ok (If it's a date night with someone new, maybe skip the pork rinds. I ended up wearing mine, my husband kept finding pork rind specks in my hair and we saw at least 2 other people in a similar circumstance). The salmon cakes were probably the highlight of my meal. We chose the gnocchi and the pork shoulder special for our main courses. The pork shoulder could have been more tender but it was definitely good mixed in with the rest of the dish. The gnocchi was good but it was a little dense, and the chicken it came with was perfectly cooked. It also came with pea shoots though and I'm a pretty big sucker for pea shoots as a garnish so I'd probably order it again. Honestly this was a very fresh meal, with amazing waitstaff, in a pretty modern dining setting. Was it one of the best meals of my life? No, just a decent middle of the road meal. It could have used a dash more salt in just about everything but still a pretty option if you want a hip restaurant.

Food is good, but portions are too small and service is so slow. Came for lunch with my family. Ordered 3 "large plates". Waited 30 minutes for food to arrive even though not crowded. My son was still hungry so had to order more. Another 30 minute wait. Not recommended for families.

Personable service. Tasty food choices: gnocchi, kale salad, perfect chicken, and blueberry crisp. Great location near the railroad station in old town Glenwood Springs. Perfect for strolling afterwards. Will definitely return!

Fantastic lunch and dinners. Third time here, and again, amazing food and great service. Bass entre is original and delicious. Perfect portion for a healthy and satisfying main course.

The food was fresh and presented well but bland in taste. We had a late lunch. The service was quick and polite. The salmon and fingerling potato salad was the only bright spot. The fancy appearance did not make up for the minimal taste and the lunch price of $70 for 2 adults and 2 children.

The food here is AMAZING! The tuna salad sandwich was so good, they top it with a juicy tomato and baby greens, served on rye. The chips were light and not salty. The cider slaw is the best I've ever had. Great service and atmosphere. We were in for lunch, and sat at the bar. The only drawback would be that they allow folks with kids to sit in the bar area. Young kids, not teenagers.

When you pick a spot for your anniversary dinner and you've never been there, you always wonder in the back of your mind if you made the right choice. I can honestly say that the Yelp & Tripadvisor ratings for The Pullman are well deserved! This place was fricken awesome! I made our reservations via Yelp - how easy is that?!? When we arrived, the place was packed but our table was waiting for us. Right off, things looked good - their beer list included Rye-zing Sun Saison from Dry Dock and Pumking form Southern Tier. I'm sure their beers change regularly, but having those two way out in GWS was huge to me! They also had bourbon drinks made with Carpano Antica sweet vermouth. Definitely a classy place! I ordered a Manhattan with Breck Bourbon & Carpano Antica. It was probably the best Manhattan I've ever had! For a small appetizer, I ordered a smoked deviled egg. OMG, so good that I had to have another. The bacon crumbles and a sweet vinegar type drizzle took it over the top. My wife had an amazing salad with gnocci. She actually licked the plate! For our meals, I ordered the pan roasted salmon with smoked mashed potatoes. I honestly can't remember what my wife ordered, but once again, everything was amazing! Service was exceptional as well. There's just nothing I can complain about. The Pullman kicked butt!

This place is amazing. We came from out of town with three young kids and were worried that this place was too nice. Although it is a very nice restaurant everyone was very friendly and accommodating. There was also several tables full of families. The atmosphere was vibrant and friendly. Service was good and the food was amazing. My wife had the shrimp sandwich and I had the steak with wine sauce. We both commented that it was one of the better meals and restaurant experiences we have had for awhile. We left the Pullman full and in high spirits.

Out on vacation with a group of 62 other friends for the week of skiing/boarding. Tonight we decided to try this place out because of the amazing reviews on YELP. So glad we did. My boyfriend and I with 4 other friends made 8:30pm reservations, showed 15min early, and they already had us ready to go. We get seated and was given John our waiter who was AMMMAAZZING. He was the apitimy of what an amazing server should be. On his toes, personable, funny, knows everything about the menu and can paint a picture of what it will look and taste like. Perfect! We get our appetizers, and man, all three couples appetizers were awesome! No one gave less than a 4star on anything they had. And then out came the main courses. Man! Did I think my appetizer was good, my main dish was amazing!! I had the mushroom bolognese and my boyfriend had the roasted pork belly. We both scraped our plates clean, it was so delicious. Lastly, we thought we were done, but decided to take a look at the dessert menu. We decided to order the flourless dark chocolate cake with coconut ice cream, hazelnut crumble and raspberry sauce. Yummm!! Great combo and last dish to top off the night.

It's a shame there's nothing to skate in Glenwood Springs, since that's the only real reason I'd drive out there from Denver, but next mountain trip I'll def go out of my way to eat here again. It was stellar. I'm kicking myself in the teeth for not rememberin' the whiskey cocktail I had-- I even when online to look at their menu to recommend but they list everything BUT drinks. Argh! Anyway, it has a dash of black sea salt and pepper in it. It was stellar. I could have stayed the night in Glenwood just to sip (read guzzle) these for an afternoon. I went with the pork belly and had zero complaints, and my she-beau had nettle fettuccini. That's pasta made out of weeds, yo! The kale's so fresh I took a double dose-- small salad app with pine nuts and raisins, then bacon-sprinkled with my meal. The cheesy grits... bangin'. *sigh* So stellar.

I always make it a point to eat here when I come to Glenwood from Denver. I've been here several times and really love the atmosphere. Usually the food is totally on mark. However, this last visit left a bit to be desired. A little too salty and a bit bland, not normal for the Pullman. The waitstaff is AMAZING. So very, very kind, gracious, and attentive. We walked in at 9:05 and we were seated with a smile. I highly recommend this place! Make sure to grab a cocktail or two as well!

All I've had here so far is a steak salad - Great proportions of the greens to steak, steak was cooked and seasoned well; this salad made me remember how much I think blue cheese is god-awful, though. I'm almost certain I'll have more awesome stuff to say as I come here more often.

My husband and I have been here twice now. Both times we had impeccable service. Our waiters we're knowledgable and nice. We preferred the dinner menu over the lunch menu. These are "foodie plates". If you need large servings of mediocre food - this is not the place for you. And please, always drink local craft beer!

This place is delightful. We were in on a Wednesday and it was slammed, but the hostess was super attentive and we ended up ponying up to the bar. The cocktails were delicious and unique. the food was delicious and our service was great, especially considering how busy they were. Can't wait to go back!

Great service great food! Great wine! All this and still a nice price and casual atmosphere! Where else can you get that? We also were trying to take our time to wait for the rain to let up to go back to the hot springs. Our waitress was patient and put a delay on our order just so we could! Special restaurant, town and community. Wish we lived in glenwood! my favorite part was the bacon pickled deviled eggs with maple jus!

Rachel G.
Phenomenal food, fantastic service, great wine and local beer selections! Our server was one of the best we've had ANYWHERE in Colorado and extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She also gave us tips on other local eateries and shops since we were just in Glenwood Springs for the weekend. I loved my Portabella Sammy on house-made rye bread and the Hubs devoured his crispy shrimp Sammy on an artisan roll. Kiddos had chicken tenders and homemade lemonade. Dessert was a banana pudding with a dash of caramel-a perfect ending to a very satisfying lunch. We will definitely be back.

Amazing gem of a find tucked in Glenwood Springs, 10 min from Carbondale and probably 45 min from Aspen. I saw pictures and decided I had to eat here on my weekend stint in Aspen, and was shocked to find they were fully booked on Saturday. If you've ever been in Glenwood Springs the place is not exactly crowded - make sure to have a reservation just in case! We snagged a table on Sunday on Opentable, and this place has a cool modern vibe, and a menu full of items that were calling my name. Truffled housemade pork rinds? You had me at truffle. Overall the food was solid and menu was creative and delicious sounding. There were some things that were standout, while some that were good but mediocre. After service, quality, creativity and price this place deserves a solid 4. * Complimentary Bread (3 STARS): Meh. Kind of tasted like a small step up from grocery store bread. * Truffled housemade pork rinds ($4) - 3.5 STARS: This was super fresh, but I find fresh pork rinds to be too hard. It was good and fresh, but expect the rinds to have a big crunch. I wish there was more truffle. * Pierogis - truffle potato, caramelized onions, scallion crème fraiche ($12) - 5 STARS: Wow I had no idea pierogis could ever be 5 stars, but this one was holy moly delicious. Something about the texture of the noodle wrapper, or the rich smooth pureed tomatoes was just unbelievable and hard to describe. It's rich and savory and something everyone should order. * Slow roasted pork shoulder | pretzel spätzle, kraut, crispy onions, cider jus ($16) - 3 STARS: I was a little disappointed in this because it was a nice pork belly but needed to be cooked longer to tenderize. The meat and fat separated way too easily, and the spatzle tasted a little too soggy for my taste. The flavors were too all over the place but it was a nice concept. * Brussel sprout & bacon hash ($5) - 2 STARS: The brussels sprouts were chopped too small and the overall dish while it sounded amazing, tasted quite lackluster. The portion was also tiny, imagine a small scoop of brussels sprouts on your bread plate. * Warm Chocolate Cake: It looked waaay different on Yelp. The chocolate cake is now baked in a ramekin, and tastes a bit low quality to me due to the texture. I wanted it to be richer and smoother, and instead ate bites of the ice cream on top. I wish I opted for the apple ravioli.

So I spend quite a bit of time in Glenwood and have consistently overlooked this gem. Friends from Texas are staying with me currently and I just had to take them to Glenwood and we decided to stop by and try a new place. It was so great! The first impression was great, everyone was super friendly and helpful. They're super knowledgeable about their food as well as the happenings around town so we had some fun conversations. Then the food came, I ordered the grass-fed burger with the chips and it was excellent. Parking sucks, but it's worth finding a spot and eating here.

Holy smokes. I was EXTREMELY pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food at this place. We went for our anniversary, and we wanted to avoid a "hole in the wall" restaurant for a change (I'm a huge fan of those too haha). I am very thankful for the yelpers who sent me in the right direction!! We originally had a reservation, but really didn't need one. We went on a Saturday night and were promptly seated on the patio and greeted by a very friendly server. We started with the shishito peppers with coconut peanut sauce (okay.... I would drink this sauce from a straw if it were socially acceptable) and they were absolutely incredible! For the faint of heart; they weren't too spicy either. I ordered the truffle potato pierogies and let me tell you.... my mouth is watering just thinking about those puppies. They were topped with caramelized onions and soaked in a scallion broth. They were cooked to perfection and I can confidently say they are in the top 5 most delicious plates I've been lucky enough to taste. READ: if you don't order these and you're a foodie, you haven't lived life to the fullest. My boyfriend got the top sirloin which was great. It wasn't the absolute best I've tasted in my life, but it was very good for the price. The thing that impressed me the most is the green goddess sauce on the potatoes-- it's a lemon-y, herb-y combination of deliciousness. Even if you don't order this plate, I would ask for a side of this sauce JUST because. We ordered a glass of malbec with dinner and a few craft beers before and our total was only $70. The quality of this food far surpasses what we had to pay for it, and that is one of my favorite aspects of a nice restaurant. This place rocks. Don't hesitate. It's a must-eat.

A meat lovers paradise in the mountains but if your a vegetation don't even think about it. Although our friend who is Bergen found a few items and they fried our shishito peppers in clean oil, so they indeed tried to please.. And it was lovely, best cooked chicken juicy plump and full of mouth caressing butter. Drink selection was really fun and yummy. Would go back every time.

Chris S.
Hands down, wonderful food and solid service. It'd be shocked to find anyone who wouldn't enjoy a meal here. We found this on YELP while in town and were impressed with the food pictures we saw. Sure enough, the food tasted as good as it looked. We started with a salad and tomato soup and were thrilled to find everything made by hand. What a difference in taste. The soup was incredible and the salad had a lite vinaigrette and some of the freshest greens you'll find. As for my buddy's sirloin, he was impressed. It was packed with flavor and a good slab. I opted for the Colorado bass, which is farm raised and it was fair, slightly fishy, but I'd had bass many times prior and this chef makes it taste better than it does, normally. Come here for a great meal that will cost you more than you might want to buy, but yields dividens in flavor.

Awesome restaurant, period. Everything was delicious. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching Kelly work. She makes a mean mixed drink, especially the Whiskey Mule. She also recommended everything we ate. The appetizer was the special, short ribs over slaw and were out of this world. I had the chicken entree and my co-worker had the salmon. They were both delicious. I can't recommend this restaurant enough, not just for it's food, but also its staff and ambiance. It's a winner.

Bacon pickled eggs with bacon maple gastrique! The best damn eggs I've ever had!!!! Period. This was tied even with the Pierogis!!!! These truffle potato dumplings were unstoppable. I could seriously say I wouldn't mind eating these dumplings as much as I eat sushi on the reg. The Mac n cheese was good, but very rich. Kale salad was enormous and kalicious! Gnocchi I wasn't too impressed with, it was a tad bland for me. There was this one duck confit spread in a jar for your crostini's that I needed to get away from me bc it was so darn scrumptious I probably would eaten the whole jar. From what I remembered the mushroom bolognese was just alright. I think overall, the food is all very rich and heavy. So be prepared for a fest, and quite possibly a tummy ache after because you'll want to consume it all. The mixed drinks are all very tasteful and the bartenders really know how to make these just perfect! If you ever stop in Glenwood this is definitely a place you must eat at. You'll be happily ever after this meal.

Freaking amazing! I had the Pullman burger which was a staple of culinary excellence. It has white cheddar and caramelized onions. Simple but mind blowing. We got the chips with blue cheese sauce as an appetizer and it was very good. Has a slight spicy aftertaste but just barely noticeable. Service was outstanding. Most of their food is raised close by, our waiter actual said the cows live in a better neighborhood than he does. Ha! Must stop and enjoy. They had a bunch of local craft beers on tap, but I still ha to drive so no beer for me.

Sat outside as the evening sun set. Would have loved to try more things--so much sounded good. We ordered the special which was braised duck over green linguini with peas, pea tendrils, etc. This description does not do it justice; it was very unusual and nice. Also seared bass over mashed potatoes with an olive tapenade. House red was very drinkable and a very generous portion. Definitely would like to go back.

To be avoided! Made a reservation, showed up slightly early. Sat and watched 4 waiters walk past us without a word for 30 minutes. Not a "we will be right with you." Nothing! We got up and left. We will not be back and suggest you avoid them to.

This place is just amazing. Every experience has been good if not great. Service is thoughtful. Food is so tasty. Drinks are always spot on.... how could you not love it! Fisher kills it again!!! The rillettes and mussels- hands down amazing!!!

One of the best restaurants in Glenwood Springs. Awesome beer selection and inventive food options. Having tried most of the menu (this is our go-to lunch spot), you can't go wrong. Be sure to save room for dessert!

A friend told me about this amazing place kitty-corner from the Amtrak station, and I made a mental note to try it the next time I found myself out this way. We arrived around 7:30pm on a Saturday sans reservations, and were told the wait would be 45 min to an hour. We scored seats at the bar and ended up just ordering dinner from the bar. The wait for a table ended up only being around 20 minutes, but we stayed at our cozy bar seats, enjoying some fun side conversation with the bartenders and patrons. I started with the gnocchi salad...wicked strange combination of sauteed gnocchi with asparagus and mushrooms, topped with a cold mixed green salad. But it worked excellently! For dinner I had the cianfotta - an Italian vegetable soup in a tasty parmasean broth topped with a green pesto. This was fantastically delicious and completely hit the spot on a cool summer eve. Boyfriend went with the salmon dish, and the chef made special accomodations since he's allergic to butter. Perfectly cooked and still tasty without the butter. We ended the meal with the tart cherry crisp and a strawberry rhubarb sorbet. I will ABSOLUTELY be back here - great service, great conversation, exciting menu, and excellent food. Kudos to the Pullman!
(5)Christian M.
What a terrible experience. If you're the kind of person who appreciates prompt and friendly service, healthful and delicious food, and a clean and modern atmosphere, then I guess this is where you should be heading. Personally, I was offended by the perfectly prepared and presented steak salad which included a smattering of fries that added a brilliantly delightful touch of salt and starch to the already flavorful and tender steak and well seasoned salad. I mean really, what kind of restaurant finds GREAT people and gives them GREAT training and then pairs them with GREAT managers? Are they just trying to put everyone else out of business? It's shameful really. That's right Pullman, you should be ashamed. The duck meatballs over polenta were both delicious and original. The traditionally-inspired pierogis with carmelized onions and what seemed like a twist of pear LITERALLY left me licking the plate. Is that really how you treat people? Force them into a lifetime of dreaming of your food and service? Relishing licking the last bits of deliciousness off the plate long after it started being super awkward? Ruin every restaurant experience they've ever had before in one hour of sheer gastro-bliss that makes it impossible for any other place to compare? Fine. Well if that's how your'e going to be then so be it. I will REFUSE to ever again visit your establishment with its light and airy open kitchen and incredible staff and food. The only exception I'll make is if we happen to be in, near, or planning to go within 300 miles of Glenwood Springs again. So you can take your fancy-tasting yet deliciously affordable menu and your well-trained and thoughtful wait staff and you can keep them. We'll be over here enjoying sub par food and service by comparison at every place we used to love. Sincerely, Angrily Delighted PS: As far as I'm concerned the final straw was Rick and Kirby buying us dessert when they found out that we'd been in an accident. ARE YOU PEOPLE EVEN HUMAN?! I'm beginning to wonder whether this is really an alien plot to ruin our existing human standards for restaurant experiences. If so, know this: I'm on to you, and I'll be back. Especially if you still have the pear crisp with blue cheese ice cream. Bastards.

Had dinner twice over 3 days and this is definitely one of the best restaurants we have visited in the west. The menu is eclectic and thoughtful, providing an experience you would not expect in a town of about 10,000. The atmosphere is a comfortable unpretentious urban vibe that while bustling and busy provides for a fun dinner experience. From appetizer to desert, along with the wine and beer selection (most everything locally sourced) we had a tantalizingly excellent culinary experience. The truffled pork rinds were a fun start to each meal along with the kimchee (this would have been ordinary, but the toasted nuts in the kimchee put the flavor over the top and memorable). Dinner entree standouts were the mushroom Bolognese, pork belly special and a very delightful summer vegetable cianfotta. All of the flavors and seasonings were right on and didn't need any help at the table. One meal, we finished with a 4-way shared blueberry crisp with sweet corn ice cream that was OMG over the top (next time if it is on the menu, we order 4). As a matter of a little hint, look into Phat Thai and Town also part of the family. Neither of those will disappoint either.
(5)Tyler H.
Avoid this garbage place!! Waitresses are so full of themselves, the food was good but when I pay 20-25 dollars for a plate of food I want food. The portions are enough to feed a toddler. On top of it is outrageous they charge $10 for a lemon drop drink. Of course they didn't tell us that then I complained how that is bullshit to pay that much for 3 ounce drink. They could care less of course. Have my zero dollar tip never going to this outrageous place ever again.

They would not even bother with taking 8 adults and 4 children. The hostess was, at least straight (no pun) and blunt. I guess out money is no good here. Bummer

Way better priced than Aspen. Burger was good with nice caramelized onions. Duck confit salad also good, prunes elevated it. Decent enough, didn't think it was anything special though. They have a pig statue in there, like Amada in Philadelphia.

We were in Glenwood Springs for a little vacation and the Pullman had the best reviews online, so why wouldn't we try it out. We called ahead to reserve a table for 4 and we arrived a little early to grab a drink from the bar. The problem was the bartender didn't acknowledge my presence. So I decided to walk around to the other side of the bar closer to the server station. Nope, still nothing...No big deal, we got our table and I figured I would just order some wine with dinner. Our server greeted us after 5 minutes of waiting. Our table ordered a round of house wine and he was off to collect our drinks. 5 minutes later our server came back and informed us they were out of the wine that we ordered. Fine, no big deal, we ordered a bottle and started looking over the menu. Our server showed up 5 minutes later with the bottle of wine and we placed our order. For dinner we ordered two of the two of the bacon pickled eggs, a small side salad, mach and cheese with a side of chicken and the smoked chicken and sage gnudi. The eggs were awesome, each egg was cut in 1/2, so if you expected a full egg you should order more. My wife liked the mac & cheese, actually she loved it. The problem was the server forgot her chicken. After we reminded him, he apologized and ran off to order the side. About 15 minutes later he came back to check in on us and we had to remind him of the chicken breast again. Of course he ran off and got it and apologized again. Apparently the chicken was great. My chicken and sage gnudi was fantastic, great well rounded flavors. I recommend this dish if you're not really hungry. After we finished our meal our server brought us our check and we immediately put our cards in the "folder" so we could get out of there. By this time the bad service was really catching up to me. I tried to get the servers attention but he was too busy chatting with people at all his tables. It took him about 15 minutes to come back to us so we can pay out. If the Pullman can do a better job training there servers they would have a wonderful restaurant. Until then I'm going to recommend the Glenwood Canyon Brewing Co. They were awesome.

If I could give 6 stars, I would. We found The Pullman based on the excellent Yelp reviews, and after checking out the local hot spring, we decided to check it out... Could not be happier that we did. Our server was warm and friendly, answering our silly questions about beer and some of the more obscure menu items. I went for the soup of the day and my girlfriend went for the butternut squash salad--both had us stealing mouthfuls from the other's plates. I went for the pork belly, which was hands down the best I've ever had. The steel cut oats were killed, and whatever sauce they used pulled everything together with its plummy tanginess. My lady had the mac and cheese, which she also loved. She prefers sharper cheeses in her mac and cheeses and this definitely delivered. We also split a side of the gnocchi bites, which were almost addicting. Definitely recommended. Even though we were stuffed, we had to try the delicious pear crisp with blue cheese ice cream, with the port finish. I'm so, so glad we did. So yeah--unless you like great service, world class New American, and the most relaxing atmosphere you can ask for, I'd avoid at all costs ;)
(5)Calarri C.
This place is fantastic! I came in with my family for a casual dinner. It was a bit fancier than we anticipated, but it was really tasty. My husband ordered pierogies which were outstanding and I ordered the pasta with duck which was also very flavorful. The drinks were especially great. My husband had the left hand luke and I had the dancing dog. Yummy!
(5)Lisa F.
Once again, yelpers know their food! Was driving through and stopped for lunch and had the ginger salmon cake sandwich. Just sounds yummy, doesn't it...and it was!!! Soooooooo good! The toppings were creative and serving it on a delicious english muffin is a great idea. I would eat here weekly if I lived in the area...and like others have mentioned, the service was FANTASTIC. You are very lucky Glenwood Springs, very lucky!

Pretty delicious spot in Glenwood Springs. Has a great patio to take advantage of in the summer months and the food here is great. Service was what you would expect of a higher end place. Overall very pleased and would be happy to dine here again!

The environment is comfortable and friendly, the service was friendly and fast. The food was great. I can't say anything bad about this place it's awesome go there

Foodies traveling down the I70 corridor this is a must stop. Local Colorado bass dish was impressive. Creamy, crunchy, salty(not overly) and savory. Staff totally on it with GF and DF food allergies. Great setting in old town glenwood .

Service was excellent. Our waiter was enthusiastic about the menu and provided a perfect balance of checking on us and chatting without ever being intrusive. The food was amazing! I'm still dreaming about the slow roasted pork belly with white cheddar grits. They had a good beer selection with only Colorado beers, including some specialty releases I hadn't tried before. Prices were very reasonable given the quality. We spent approximately $80 for three beers, an appetizer and two entrees. I'm looking forward to our next visit!

Just had The Pullman for the second time. I seriously can't wait to go back! Awesome location across from train tracks in DT Glenwood Springs. Lamb nuggets OK, not blow your mind good. Not a lot of meat, breaded. Oysters weren't prepared by somebody who knew how to do oysters! Came dried out, attached to the shell, no brine. Eeks. Mussels were beautiful. Amazing. Romaine and chicken salad was really amazing. Charred romaine, extra generous when I said I wanted beaucoup anchovies. Yay! Shishito's definitely the best we've ever had. The coconut mint peanut sauce was great - they were sprinkled with sesame seeds and roasted peanuts. Husband had burger one time - found it average. We also had the shrimp with avocado mousse - lovely. Light and delicious. My husband has tried many cocktails and has loved all of them - not too sweet very very fresh tasting. We can't wait to keep going - it seems like they're awesome at updating menu!!!
(4)Joe A.
Believe the reviews. About as perfect of a meal a foodie will find anywhere. This place would compete with the best in any major metropolitan market. We make it an annual pilgrimage here while visiting the hot springs, but the food here is worth the 1 hr drive from Vail.
(5)R L.
Great food, great service. Everything is made from the scratch and willing to accommodate for dietary needs. And that is always an extra start!
(5)Brandon A.
For Glenwood Springs, in the middle of the mountains, I'm impressed with the spectrum of fresh vegetables and flavors. The Pierogis with truffle potato was the tables top choice. Excited to go back and explore the menu!
(4)Jonathan H.
The food here was great. The trout was awesome and so was the chicken! The best part of this place was the waitstaff though. Extremely personable, funny and I would return for them even if the food wasn't good (but it was)!

This was our first time to the Pullman after reading the Yelp reviews. Being from the east coast, I am not easily impressed by food here in Colorado, but this may have been one of the best meals I have had, and I have been to every restaurant from the Brown Palace to Colfax staples. We are a big fan of handmade drinks and flavorful food and this place has both! I had the duck fettuccine and he had the pork loin. WOW! The staff from the hostess, to the bartender, to the server was excellent! I would make a trip back from Denver to Glenwood just for the food! We are ecstatic to hear they own a restaurant here in Denver. A must try and with two rounds of drinks, an appetizer, meals, and irish coffee to follow, all under $100.00 for two!
(5)Lily S.
Best food in town? Wow, if it is true, then I feel sorry. I haven't tasted all restaurants in town but The Pullman wasn't impressive to me. Put it this way, four of us dropped 100 bucks for dinner here and we went to the Village Inn next to our lodge afterwards for pie, shakes, and sandwiches and felt more satisfied. Here's the rundown: - Roasted Colorado Striped Bass: stick to Chilean sea bass if you have the choice - Grilled Pork Belly | Apple Butter: the plate this was served on was interesting, the dish itself, not so much - Grilled Hanger Steak | Cauliflower Potatoes Au Gratin: now this probably could've turned out better if my stupid cousin had not ordered it medium well, not Pullman's fault! - Grass Fed Burger with homemade chips: thought it was a tad dry. I do want to give them thumbs up for serving both kinds of homemade chips though (regular and sweet potatoes) - Mac and Cheese: not as fancy as I expected, or as the menu description lead me to think - Gnocchi Salad: recommended by our server and is truly one of the most original salads, the best dish of the night, by far! Atmosphere and service were both quite nice.

We had kind of an odd experience here. I'm not sure if our server was drunk, high, slow, or new. But she had a really difficult time doing her job. The first sign of this was when I ordered a drink prior to my boyfriend, she asked for my ID, I then handed it to her, she glanced at it, looked off into the distance for a moment, and started walking away with my ID. Again, my boyfriend hadn't even ordered yet, and it was really bizarre. She then weirdly returned, apologized, and handed me my ID. It didn't get much better from here, and she became increasingly rude and short as time went on. Considering mountain towns are somewhat difficult to get a decent dinner in, I probably would return. The food was fine, it wasn't blow your mind amazing, but it filled our requirements for a good meal. The dessert however was excellent. I'm sure it would've been better had our server been with it. I would absolutely hope she wasn't our server if we returned.
(3)B M.
The Pullman was our special occasion spot. For awhile it was excellent! Great food and service. But, I'm sad to say that the last three times my husband and I have been there, the food was ok, and the service not so good. Took forever for our server to take our order, and to refill drinks on a not so busy night. I'm hesitant to go back. I would love to love this place again.
(3)Google U.
food was great and inspired cocktails were amazing and were the best ive had in glenwood springs. and i had a lot of bad cocktails while i was in glenwood springs. steak salad was amazing. i got it without blue cheese and the waitress suggested a different dressing that was delicious.
(5)Andrea C.
This was my second time dining at The Pullman and both times were great. If I could just rate our server Emilee I would have given 5 stars. The Gnudi with chicken and sage took it down a star....It had no flavor and the chicken tasted old. Everything else was great and especially noteworthy was the salad with steak, blue cheese, caramelized onions and bacon... I especially miss the stout chocolate cake....why would you take that off the menu?
(4)Mason H.
We heard about this place from the hotel desk (Lodge, aka pool hotel) and decided that if it were as popular and famous (Esquire magazine) as its rep, then why not give it a go. We started with the goat cheese fritters, (5 stars!). They came with hazelnut hummus, a green squirt of something or another on top, and pure super yumminess. I'm also sure they were 10000 calories each for how delicious they were. For our entrees we got the hamburger and order of mac and cheese. The hamburger was the best I've had in the last decade for sure. It was simple, fresh (killed yesterday) and cooked just right (med-well was the order but it was pink but no worries). It came with a slice of provolone melted on the patty, sauteed onion, and charred just right on the outside. The bun complemented it perfectly and I added a dab of mayo and ketchup. Over all I would definitely highly recommend the burger if it's an option (this place seems like they might change up the menu). The mac was amazing too. Gruyere cheese! Rather small for the price, but the taste was definitely worth it (I think $12). I would classify this as more of a sampler than an actual entree but it beats the BS that Panera serves for $1000 for a bite of their mac and cheese. All in all this place is amazing and we will be coming here each and every time that we visit the springs. I would one day like to sample everything they offer. 5 of 5 for sure.
(5)Amy M.
Yum, yum. We were provided with the brunch menu and proceeded to order the poutine for an app. My husband ordered the mac & cheese which could have used a bit more flavor. But the real reason I am a fan is due to the dish that I ordered. Pierogis with truffle potato, caramelized onions & scallion crème fraiche. It was so good that I used bread to soak up every last bit of the flavor. I would definitely stop in here again when in the area and order the same dish.
(4)Tara G.
Very good but not great. The flavors of the food were just the slightest bit off. Risotto just a little too salty, Bolognese not salty enough, smoky dishes just a little too sweet. The other discord was that the ambiance was loud. Hubby and I had to resort the texting each other in order to "talk". I did however love the cocktails. And the staff was very nice. I shied away from the Afternoon Delight at first because many drinks featuring strawberries are just too sweet but hubby had one and it was flavorful and bright and not overly sweet. I also tried the Spring H2O which was very refreshing and deceptively intoxicating. I'd definitely eat at the Pullman again and enjoyed my meal. I'm sure I could find something that would make this a five star experience.
(4)Lia H.
Had the special (steak) and we ordered medium. It came cold and rare so we sent it back. They basically threw what we had left to cook it again and it didn't turn out too well and tasted burnt. BUT the server was amazing and addressed our concerns immediately and took the steak off the bill. I think we may have just had a fluke entree (special) and would return. Prices were excellent.
(4)April E.
This was my first visit to The Pullman and it was great! My daughters pb&j was on what looked to be homemade bread. The pickled deviled eggs with bacon are a must have and so are the house made pork rinds. I had the duck meatloaf and it was so-so, but my husbands pierogi's were out of this world! I will be back!
(4)Kyla S.
I would totally give this restaurant 5 stars, but I have only been here once so only have one thing to base my rating off of. I was there last weekend with a group of 14, and when we made the reservation we were told our tables would be separate (two tables of 7) dude to the size of the restaurant, or table limitations, which we were all okay with. For starters I tried the bacon, dill, deviled egg and really liked it, and probably could have eaten a dozen of them.. but limited myself to one. For dinner I ordered the Truffle Perogies because I LOVE TRUFFLE and if you LOVE truffle, this dish is for you.. If you just "like" truffle oil, the truffle taste may be a bit overwhelming. My boyfriend did not care for the dish saying that all he could taste was the truffle, but I absolutely loved the dish. And I didn't let any go to waste- with the bread they bring you, I soaked up the juices and gave the waitress back a very cleaned off plate. Just a note- the serving sizes are all a bit small, but you are here for quality, not quantity.. keep that in mind for those who need a lot to eat. Also- for all of the guys...1 guy ordered the burger and EVERY other guy on our trip wish they would have got that instead. The next thing I want to try there is the Bolognese- a few people in our party ordered this, and it sounded fabulous.
(4)Michael B.
While I enjoy so many restaurants here, the Pullman is my favorite as the menu is the most unique and it changed regularly. Consistently good food and service.
(5)CRAIG S.
The food /menu is a great effort. Apply that effort to training servers. You'll be 4x as great.
(3)Shelli W.
Best service we have had, probably ever. Emilee was awesome. We had driven over 12 hours that day. Stopped for dinner and not only did we have great service but the food was definitely to write home about! Best chicken by far we have had in a restaurant. The homemade corn crunch/ice cream/flourless chocolate goodness was fantastic! Thanks to Emilee for a great experience.
(5)Lindsey P.
Fantastic dinner! My husband and I had the pleasure of randomly stumbling upon this little gem. Super cute inside, terrific service and AMAZING food. I had the salmon with smoked mash potatoes and one bite took me to heaven!! The hubs had the pork shoulder and I practically had to rip the plate away for fear of him licking it clean!! The service was top notch and they helped us choose the right food and wine. Did I forget to mention the MAPLE BACON DEVILED EGGS???? Do yourself a favor. Eat here.
(5)Alison G.
Every single thing that we ordered was to die for. Gnocchi salad, peirogi, rabbit and baby carrots, salmon with smoked mashed potatoes - every bite truly delicious. And the banana strawberry bread pudding - excellent. The meal easily rivaled any we've had in Napa and other world class resorts. I just loved the menu!
(5)Diane O.
The Pullman is always my "go-to" restaurant when I'm in GWS. I always make sure to make a reservation in advance on Open Table even on a Thursday or Friday night in the off-season. Went there last night to celebrate a late birthday and was able to get in right away with the reservation. The wait between courses was a little long (I was very hungry) but they're so busy that it is understandable. Maybe they could hire some more servers... The food doesn't suffer from the rush which is fine by me!! What we ate: Duck Nuggets- I don't know how they cook them (fried maybe) but they're Amazing!! the meat melts in your mouth and the sauce is really well paired. A great appetizer and was still good later that night as a late snack. Mac-n-cheese- Awesome as usual. Rich and creamy. Lamb shoulder- Boyfriend said it was very good, but a little fatty. Beef/potatoes- These were great as well and done exactly to my liking! Sauce was really good. Bread pudding- Boyfriend at this and said he loved it but wished there was more ice cream! The wait staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. The manager was also a GREAT support to his staff as well as me. He was running around busing tables, serving food, and checking in on guests. Also, I had gotten a Very bad sunburn and he offered to bring me some cream to put on it, which worked great! Overall 5 stars every time I've been there!!
(5)Stacy P.
I have to thank my fellow Yelpers for finding The Pullman while in Glenwood Springs! I found myself wandering around their old town area solo, and I was ready for lunch. A quick Yelp search showed me that the Pullman was one of the highest rated joints in town and - bonus - about a block from the place I was standing. I headed straight over and grabbed a seat at the bar. The bartender was knowledgeable and friendly. He offered suggestions for beer (where they had only a few draught options) and food (where they had MANY options). I opted for that day's special, which was a cold smoked pork sandwich with slaw on the side. I must admit, I headed in pretty hungry but wasn't able to finish the whole thing. They were very generous with the meat, which was appreciated since it had been cooked to perfection. If you're in town, check it out - who doesn't love a beer and some good food after a day on the slopes?
(5)Julia R.
Great dinner! Chose this based on yelp reviews and wasn't disappointed. We traveled from Denver to Glenwood Springs and did the hanging table hike along the way so we were starving by the time dinner came around. Booked with open table and happy we did as it was busy. Ordered some beers to go with the deviled eggs ($1.50 ea) and goats cheese fritters ($10). My partner ordered the natural chicken with spring vegies and I got the Colorado bass ($20 ea). Really great with some crispy potatoes ($5). Great service, excellent atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed our Pullman experience.
(5)Ashley B.
Here's the thing- I had a good time at the Pullman. I enjoyed some of the food here very very much. I am being critical of them, however. Why? Well, because they should know better. See, this isn't a one-off place. The people that own this also own Phat Thai (Carbondale) and Harman's (Now in Cherry Creek) and Town. I am *convinced* that the only reason this place is so cult-like in the area is because it is the ONLY place in Glenwood Springs that even attempts to do New American food. If you are between Edwards (where you should go to Dish!) and Aspen, this is your only bet for nouveau food (except their other restaurants). I wouldn't say they're phoning it in but they're coasting. We came here early-ish on a weekday evening, after going elsewhere for Happy Hour, because the Pullman doesn't offer one; minus one star because not having happy hour is just plain stupid. We got seated and ended up ordering beers (pretty reasonably priced) because cocktails are all around $10. I will say they had an amazing wine special though we didn't order it. For food we ordered: the fried artichokes, the duck n' waffles, and the special for the evening. The only thing everyone actually liked was the special- shaved cured pork with shaved radish, fennel, and some arugula all in a vinegar dressing, topped with rye croutons and mustard ice cream. Yes, it was as amazing as it sounds and I admired the play with temperature. I do think the artichokes were good but mostly because they were large artichoke heart quarters, not tiny pieces. Whatever they were served with was not as it was described and the wedges of olives on the stone tablet (not plate) were pointless. The duck n' waffles, which my father really pushed for, were to me totally......meh. The real (and very problematic) issue with this dish is that the description- "duck n' waffles- balsamic cherry jam" does not at all impart that this is actually 4 small wedges of cold reheated-to-room-temp waffle topped with what I think was a duck terrine, and some not at all flavorful (let alone tart) cherry jam. Pullman, take note- Blue Star, a restaurant I do not like in Colorado Springs, even makes this dish a hell of a lot better than you do, so take note. My parents both were not fans of this dish and I can't blame them. We did get dessert, which was the only other remarkable dish. The strawberry-rhubarb ravioli with basil ice cream was very very well made, although the pastry was not described and quite hard. Honestly, the Pullman should probably just become a Haute Cuisine ice cream shop, and they'd be a lot more successful; the only dishes we all loved were the ones that involved unusual ice creams, and those were the stars. I would return here, but mostly because there's very little else in this town, which is exactly the problem, I think. If anyone else enters with real competition, Pullman will have to step up, or find somewhere else.

Been here many times, make it a point to stop in every time I'm in Glenwood Springs. Consistently good food, changing, inventive, seasonal menu, and always good service. A real small town gem.

Two times in two days. That's how good The Pullman is. We had a mini weekend trip to Glenwood Springs and convinced our friends that dinner at the Pullman would be in their (our) very best interest. Luckily, my friends are cool. Everything I had that night was delicious.. from the Colorado Bass (the carrot ginger sauce that I wanted to lick off the plate) to the pork rinds, to the duck meatloaf and pierogis, and finally the creamed spinach. Delicious - all of it. Too bad none of us had room left for dessert. Because that happened, I convinced the bf that we absolutely had to come back to the Pullman for lunch the next day, just to taste the dessert. So I kept it small and got the gnocchi salad and wow, it was a killer salad. Loved the parmesan and truffle oil that they used, along with the grilled mushrooms and gnocchi. Mmm.. salivating while thinking about it. We made sure to leave room for dessert and chose the nutella bread pudding and the salted peanut butter pie. Both so so so so so so good. I especially loved the bacon ice cream that came with the nutella bread pudding. Both times the service was really spot on and helpful and I have nothing but praise for The Pullman (maybe a tiny desperate wish that it was located closer to the Denver area).

Had dinner reservations last night at 7:15, a little concerned as there was a crowd of people trying to be seated without reservations, and group by group they were turned away with an estimate of an hour plus wait. They acknowledged our reservation, and took us immediately to our table. Pleasant hostess, poured us water as soon as we sat down, chatted for a moment and then back to her post. The atmosphere was great, sort of modern but still warm and comfortable. Our server was attentive and pleasant, even taking time to chat here and there although she was obviously busy. We ordered drinks while looking at the menu, and honestly they took a bit longer than they should have to arrive, but not an issue. The beer was really good and my wife had a signature cocktail that was also really good. We ordered appetizers, and entrees.every bite was great. The food arrived a little haphazardly, but promptly and with all the waitstaff pitching in to assist. All in all The Pullman was a great experience. I will be back and will definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.
(5)Shaun B.
Every time i am in glenwood this is a must go. It is a little pricy but always worth it. My recommendation to others is, ask them whats special and just take their word and get it. Elk Meatloaf? FANTASTIC! Pickled deviled eggs? AWESOME! It may sound strange but i have yet to have a bad item there.
(5)Courtney R.
Came here for my husband's birthday. Delicious food, good service. Loved the puerogies!

1st Anniversary Dinner WOW!!!! What a great restaurant starting off from service from our wonderful waitress Amanda which made our night so memorable. She was never afraid to list recommendations off of the menu her personality made me and and my wife feel so welcomed. This was our first time to Glenwood Springs and we wanted to dine in a place that we would not have any problems. Being that I am a Food and Beverage Director for a hotel in Downtown Denver we hardly ever have a meal that I am not noticing a few missed steps but its human nature when you are in this business. Our Waitress Amanda made sure every need was meet and to the Chef best Lamb ive had in a long time perfect medium. MY OVERALL SCORE IS NOT A 5 BUT A 10 AND BELIEVE ME YOU WILL SEE US VERY SOON. Every element is great from the atmosphere, food, great beverages (ever summer cocktail) to everyone being so polished and hats off the management team great moral with the staff the happiest staff ive seen in a long time. Thank you, Jesus & Jennifer Pacheco
(5)Enrique V.
Great dining experience! First night in Glenwood Springs we decided on eating at the Pullman. What a great place with great food and service. Our waitress was exceptionally knowledgable about the menu and was very courteous. The food was amazing, the menu options were great and quirky. I say quirky because I had not seen several of the menu items before which made the experience even better....we like to try new things...especially if they taste as good as Pullman's food. We will be going back before our trip is over. Went back for a second time and was just as happy. Recommend asking to be sat in Emily's section, she is awesome.
(5)Betty C.
Very nice minimalist atmosphere. Sweet potato chips with blue cheese sauce were awesome. Try them with some sriracha sauce for a little kick of heat. It was hard to decide what to order from the menu as all of the eclectic dishes sounded delicious. The crispy calamari salad was delicious if not quite a different pairing of elements. The arugula was a bit too strong for the delicate flavor of the tempura style very crunchy calamari. The chili Asian vinaigrette was a bit too mild for my liking. The pulled pork barbecue sandwich was good but did not compare to the Arapaho Café in Dillon.
(4)Chris H.
This place blew me away. My fiance and I went here on our anniversary vacation up to Glenwood Springs and we were not disappointed. The prices were good and the food was outstanding, innovative and fun. GET THE HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD! As wonderful as our meal was, that salad took the cake. I've also honestly never had such good service. Our server was so informative and fun that it really made the experience that much better.
(5)Kathy C.
Great customer service. Great food without being pretentious. The steak salad and roasted chicken were awesome. The chicken was tender and very well seasoned. It was served with brussels, fennel and bacon. The steak on the salad was cooked perfectly and the salad was a generous portion. Two in our party got the specials, which was scallops with risotto. The flavors melded very well, but the portion was slight for the price.
(4)nick c.
Every time we come here for dinner, we have a great meal. It's not always perfect, but they make things right. It is always interesting innovative and taste great
(5)Kristi M.
I'm rating The Pullman four stars, based on food and atmosphere. The food was simple, yet amazing. Portions are small, so I would suggest adding a salad or appetizer to your entree. I ordered a steak and my husband had the duck. The steak was perfectly prepared. I ended up sharing a bit of it with my husband because the duck portion was so small. Our server was ok. He was quite flighty and seemed to have too many tables to take care of. He seemed confused when I asked about a gluten free option. I believe that, at one point, he honestly forgot about our table. Despite some mishaps, I would still return based on the restaurant doing things right. Good food, good booze and a fun atmosphere.
(4)Shannon C.
So glad that my fellow Yelpers directed us to this place. We had one of the best meals I've had in a VERY long time. Our server was amazing, very personable and efficient. She shared the specials with us, and we decided to split the small plate and entree specials. The small plate was a pork tamale wrapped in a banana leaf, with a wonderful salsa/relish on top of tomatoes and golden raisins. The raisins had re-hydrated while sitting in the relish into these wonderful little flavor bombs that not only perfected the relish, but complemented the tamale perfectly. The beau enjoyed a beer flight of their rotating taps while we waited for our entree-- mushroom agnolotti with goat. I'd never had goat before, but our server vouched for the dish, so we went for it. So glad we did! The fresh mushrooms inside the cheese-less agnolotti were bathed in this glorious broth that burst into your mouth in heavenly fashion. The goat was super tender and had a very rich flavor, which was offset perfectly by the lemon-herb creme fraiche and the mixed vegetable garnish on top. We decided to throw our discipline out the window and ordered the apple ravioli for dessert. Forget what you know about savory ravioli-- these ravioli were fried to a perfect crisp and then covered in a generous layer of cinnamon sugar, effectively becoming mini apple pie pockets. AAH-MAZING! The gingerbread ice cream and rum caramel sauce served with them were also delicious, and before our server could return to ask us how dessert was, we had completely cleaned the plate. I absolutely LOVED this place, and will definitely be back; even if I have to make a special trip to Glenwood Springs just to dine here!
(5)Christopher B.
This place is not for everyone. You have to appreciate something different and appreciate that it's coming from chef because if you don't then you'll feel ripped off for the small portion you're getting to the price you're paying. All in all, I thought the food was good but fell a bit short of my expectations. I had the rabbit special, which I think I've only had once in my life. I thought the rabbit was prepared very well (almost looked like carnitas) and the dish overall was fine but not memorable. I also had some of the cianfotta, which I felt the pesto overwhelmed the dish and there was way too much eggplant in comparison to all the other veggies. As for the ambiance, I loved it. It's an older building converted to a modern, minimalistic interior. The place was packed solid so we knew the food would be good. I just think if you're going to come here just know what to expect. You won't be disappointed by the experience.
(3)Lisa G.
Everything we ordered was delicious. We were served quickly. Service was friendly. Id go back if I was in the area
(5)Linda S.
Great food, inventive menu, enthusiastic server with great ideas. We pass through Glenwood frequently. We have tried different restaurants each time but nothing has measured up to the Pullman. This is our second time for dinner at The Pullman and we thought the food and service were up there with top flight big city and resort experiences. We had trout beignets, kale salad, filet, scallop appetizer, a side with brussels sprout, leeks and bacon, and pear crumble. All excellent! She servers were all hustling and had big smiles. My husband was delighted that they had a top flight non-alcoholic beer (not easy to find). We will definitely be back on our next trip through Glenwood Springs.
(5)Kimberly S.
OMGosh! To Die For! This place deserves 6 stars! NO KIDDING!!!! The reviews on The Pullman are top notch, and now I understand why - OMGosh! We had the Gnochi Salad - very good. We split the salad, it was more than enough for both of us, very good. Never would have thought of putting gnochi in a salad, but it worked! My husband had the artichoke bisque soup - he said it was very good, too rich for me. I did taste it, and it was good. We split the large plate special - pork shoulder. I can't begin to describe this dish. It just melted in the mouth! No Kidding! It was over a green garlic grits (or something like that), and some rhubarb (I believe, but don't quote me on that). I don't like grits, have never liked grits, but these were WOW! The pork shredded so easily, and the combination of all the different flavors, was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! It melted in the mouth - I already said that, but it did, it melted in the mouth! Oh, it was also more than enough for us to split too. Interior - black was the accent color, with dark green walls. It is open, and just a nice, friendly, welcoming, come in and stay a while, atmosphere. That doesn't even begin to describe it. Open, inviting, and you do, just want to sit, relax, and stay a while. There are approximately 20 tables, and a bar, with seating around it. There is one tv by the bar too. Parking - on the street, which can be hard in Glenwood Springs, especially when it's during the busy tourist season. Beverages - I had their coffee, and I really enjoyed it! I should have asked the brand, but didn't. Prices - approximately $20 or so for each person, but so worth it! Service - Excellent! Management - Awesome! Management, to me, is a reflection of the service, which is Excellent! So, Management is Awesome! Chef - WOW! He/She really knows his/her stuff! The flavor combinations, plating, everything, was so well done! KUDOS to the Chef! When to go - Whenever you can! We were in Glenwood Springs, during my birthday, and this was just the place to celebrate too! We will definitely go back! WOW!!!!
(5)Meredith G.
My boyfriend and I dined here the other night and our experience was top notch. Our server gave us some great suggestions. We started off with the CO Mule, very tasty. Then we got 2 small plates- house made burrata with grilled asparagus, shitake, tomato, pistachio butter and the crispy goat cheese with field greens, local melon, oregano vin. Both really good, but didn't realize both had small salads. The cheeses were so good on their homemade bread. For the main encore we got the roasted pork belly with parmesan grits, bacon braised kale, smoked cherry bbq. It was the best pork belly I've ever had. And while we were both full, we had to try dessert too. We opted for the butterscotch budino with rum caramel, vanilla foam. It was so good! I look forward to returning soon.
(5)Melissa S.
Very nice addition to the restaurants in Glenwood. Excellent food, very flavorful, great wait staff. A bit loud, but the tables aren't packed so close, it's tolerable. Will return!
(5)Lendy L.
The next day the boyfriend and I decided to try dinner hours. Ordered dishes included the red curry mussels ($14) and duck breast with a side of black eyed peas ($19). As appetizers we ordered the poutine ($8), which disappointingly did not come out as hoped - over baked with yellow cheese, no white curds (per mention in the menu) and topped with a tasty gravy. The dish was still edible but not phenomenal. As for the duck breast, the portion was small even though on the menu it is under the category of "large plates." The duck was cooked with a little pinkness and the black eyed peas were simple and unseasoned. The red curry mussels were good but I think it would have been great had there been coconut milk as an added ingredient in addition to bread for dipping in the sauce! The bf and I commented on the unexpected results of the poutine and to appease our disappointment Chad provided a complimentary eggnog budino dessert that was absolutely delicious and a reason to come back.

I actually ate here twice before writing just to be sure it's as good as I thought. I'm going back tomorrow. Creative, delicious, unique flavors...oh, and awesome craft beer on tap. Lunch: pulled pork sandwich with balsamic citrus bbq sauce. Whoa good. Also tried the special, braised short ribs pulled then put on an english muffin with an egg and spicy hollandaise sauce. Dinner: Crab dip with lemon emulsion and crustini. Pierogis with truffle potato, caramelized onions and creme fraiche. Desert was apple crisp ravioli with gingerbread ice cream. I don't normally post the dishes I eat, but that should give an idea of the menu. It's fantastic. I eat at so many restaurants that are nothing but the same thing, I love unique, especially when done well. Seriously, I can't recommend it enough. Great dining.

This place is a gem! My boyfriend and I were on our way to Aspen from TX and made a stop in Glenwood Springs for a lunch stop! We sat at the bar and tested a few cocktails off their menu--didn't disappoint! I could've stayed and tried them all if we didn't have to continue driving. I started with their soup of the day- a cauliflower bisque. Delicious! Not too creamy or too thick, just the right consistency and the flavor was on point! Next I had the gnocchi salad...omg best salad ever! Warm handmade gnocchi sautéed with mushrooms onions and butternut squash served under a bed of mixed greens topped with shaved Parmesan and tossed in a truffle vin! Need I say more? We will definitely be making a day trip just to eat here again!

This really was an extraordinary restaurant experience. The menu was a bit surprising, almost like just a bunch of random foodie terms scrambled up. But each of the eight or nine dishes we ordered was terrific. Service was not fast but was excellent, our server was cheerful and extremely helpful and well-informed about the food. This place is a real find, probably the best restaurant on the Western Slope. Worth a trip to Glenwood in itself and certainly a great place to eat if you are driving through.

Well um, this is awkward. I think this is a Yelp over-hype thing. Our meal was fair. But not 'great'. I made reservations a couple weeks in advance for 6p-ish since no other times were available on Opentable. Further, I saw that a fellow foodie friend had been here and gave it a thumbs up so I thought it might be good. I was REALLY looking forward to this meal, and embarrassed myself by telling everyone in my group that they would love this place! There is nothing worse than stretching your neck out there to talk up a restaurant and then..bam! Mediocrity. We noshed on the poutine, ham and gruyere fritters, kale and parm salad, roasted chicken with butternut squash, risotto, pancetta, et al., scallops...it was 'good'. Again, I love the philosophy and descriptions of their menu but items were sort of overly nouveau without enough thought about food symphony. Things were pretty but did not taste good. Overall, we were at "meh" by desert time. Then, ultimately, the kids' dessert (vanilla bean ice cream with chocolate sauce) came out and my kid literally spit it out and said "YUCK!!" The adults - clearly alarmed that my gelato-loving child did not love his dessert - investigated further. Indeed, it tasted freezer-burned (forgivable as we assume restaurants scoop these portions into ramekins en masse), but the additional taste of 'scotch tape' and 'frozen onions' were fodder for conversation. We told our server, who agreed it tasted like chives although did not really offer any sort of apology or explanation. Kitchen staff dipped fingers into this sample..gave looks of yuck and then defensiveness..we thought that was odd. Fess up when you throw uncovered ramekins into the freezer with your soup/sauce/oniony thingy but no matter what get the kids a new ice cream!! I wanted to love this place. Disappointed.

This place blew my mind! Coming from San Francisco, we had low expectations on what kind of food we can find in Glenwood Springs. However the dinner at Pullman turned out to be one of the most delicious dinners we have ever had. We had the pork belly and calamari salad for appetizer. Both were 5 star worthy. The pork belly with their house kimchee and the slight hint of sweet & sour flavor is in particularly memorable. I loved the calamari and arugula salad too, even though I don't usually like arugula. We then had the lamb bolognese and seared scallops for the main course. The seared scallops were cooked perfectly, and the sauce that came with it was beyond words. The lamb bolognese was great too, it's on the less fancy side and more on the food-cooked-by-grandma side, and it warmed us from inside on that very cold day. We were very very impressed by the food from the Pullman, and only wished that we had stayed in Glenwood Springs for a couple of more days just to go back there!
(5)Jenny W.
This was a great find in Glenwood Springs! My husband and I are from the front range and frequent Boulder restaurants. We found this to be on par or better than some of the best restaurants in Boulder only half the price! We had dinner and everything was amazing. The Colorado mule cocktail, duck nuggets and a cantaloupe special were some of the highlights. We will definitely be back again!
(5)Mark S.
If you have read my other reviews you'll see they are more slanted towards the negative, do I have anything good to say about the restaurants in this area you may ask? the answer is a resounding, NO, went here to celebrate my wife's 30th birthday the other day, there was a nasty rain storm that afternoon as we arrived at the restaurant early (4:45pm), was it open? NO..... okay I thought just myself my wife and daughter, however, did they open for the numerous other guests that had turned up and were trying the locked front door before 5 pm? NO..... so we all waited, stupidly in the rain to be allowed entry into the establishment.....I've eaten here approximately 10 times since it has opened, and I've come to the conclusion that the inconsistencies in the food and service are this restaurant's consistencies............
(2)Kathy G.
Excellent local fresh food! There isn't anything you get that won't be really good. Great find
(5)Jay B.
This place has a great menu. According to our server parts of it change every couple months to maintain the locally sourced meals. Interesting selection of cocktails and good beer list. We had the special, which was a beef short rib with curry and Swiss chard orzo. Very delicious.
(4)Jake H.
Great food, great service! All at a decent price.

I am giving the Pullman 5 stars as I believe it would do as well in a larger market (such as Denver) as it does in the more quaint Glenwood Springs. My husband and I started with the macaroni and cheese. The gruyere cheese and crispy crumbles on top make this dish! There was not a noodle left when we finished. At this point, bread came. i skipped it in favor of what I knew would be a delicious meal. I'm glad I saved room! I had the hangar steak cooked (Gasp!) medium well and it was still juicy and flavorful. It was cooked in red wine and the flavor was just right. My steak was served with fingerling potatoes, which were also...as good as you would expect fingerling potatoes to be. For the love of all that is good, order the butterscotch budino. Budino is a kind of pudding (Don't worry, we had to ask too). Seriously, if I were Oprah, this would be on my list of favorite things. The pudding has the right amount of salty flavor to be balanced perfectly by the vanilla "foam" (reads more like whipped cream) on top. I say budino is a "kind of" pudding because the consistency was much lighter, almost like a mousse. 2 days later and I am still dreaming of butterscotch. The decor is also nicely played-exposed brick, clever art, exposed lightbulbs hanging by wires... If The Pullman wasn't 3 hours away, we'd be back within 2 weeks!

The Pullman provides upscale food with a local, friendly, flair. I had the Eggplant cannelloni and it was divine. The eggplant was roasted to perfection, the mushroom risotto was flavorful and the coriander tomato sauce had just enough spice to really add some kick to the dish. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the Elk Meatloaf and my daughter loved the grilled chicken salad that included grilled romaine.
(5)Krishna D.
Its all true. All of it. Every good review. The creators of the Pullman cafe and bar have a tight formula that delivers high quality, incredibly high quality food and service at shockingly reasonable prices. A big city panache, amazingly well done. Exposed brick in hardwood floor, two story ceilings and comfortable seatings, surrounded by huge windows on two sides giving you a view of the Denver Hotel and the train station. The street is now expanding to patio seating and only one way traffic, as of this posting, construction still goes on. But with all the restored brick buildings, the gorgeous and beautiful train station, the view and setting is already stellar. But if this was a dump, it would still be worth coming here for the food and service, and again those great great prices. I'm not talking about super crazy good prices, we're still talking $10 for a burger or a sandwich or more, but for the quality of the food most certainly reasonable. The entrees range from 11 to 20 ish, and the menu changes seasonally. They try as much as possible to use the whole farm to table philosophy. The bread is custom baked, they cure a lot of their own me, sustainable and humane meat on Lee need apply. For vegetarians, they keep it going to supply on the menu. Their burgers and sandwiches are all top notch versions, respective for juicy meat. Homemade sauces, quality cheese and the very deft hands in the kitchen. Something that you should never miss are the fries, small, perfectly crisp yet creamy, these fries stand up has some of the best I've ever had. Some of the rotating pasta dishes I've had have been sublime as well. In the eight times that I have attended here over 2 years of visiting, they always has it gnocchi on the menu, mac and cheese, and those sandwiches and burgers. If you are lucky enough to catch the duck carbonara, with one small, local egg poached on the pasta. A complex sauce featuring nuances that will make your mouth smile. The service is insanely professional and well done. They use a cadre of runners and wait staff, and order fulfillment is not dependent on one person. Given, I do usually don't eat with the herd, so I cannot vouch for their dinner practices, but with their dedication of the front of the house and management to top notch quality customer service, a great work environment, I cannot imagine that the busy nights are not handled well as could be. In two years of coming here, I already recognize several faces. Always the sign of a good organization in the service industry, at least in a competitive market, low turnover. If you are going into the restaurant business, you could do worse than to observe and emulate how the Pullman does business. One night while eating at the bar, I chopped it up with some of the employees. Evidently they now have three restaurants in Colorado and looking for a fourth. Clearly, the formula is working for them. The mac and cheese, for me is not four star. But I make a very good mac and cheese and I have high standards . It is amazing how many times with those high standards I have been transported to admiration and pleasurable wonder by the food here. I think the only bad experience I've had with anything here was the pork belly. Small portion and not at all up to pork belly renditions that I was used to. Nothing to worry about for you, it hasn't been on the menu for over a year and I'm sure if it comes back it will be better then what I had. And by the way, I finished that pork belly, every bit. Small shout out to the staff, I'm the giant who's been there before and will be back again, enjoyed all your individual service. Been in the service industry and many levels of it for most of my career, hats off and big props to ya. I look forward to my next visit to Colorado and the Pullman cafe.

Without a doubt, 5 stars are warranted! Truly a great restaurant in town. A must try is the bone marrow! The Caroque Madame (sandwich) is outstanding! This has to be the most magnificent restaurant in all of Glenwood Springs. The food is outstanding! I would love to have this restaurant in the Denver area. Truly you have to try this restaurant to understand how fantastic the food is. The service is amazing. The waiter for the table next to us sat down and was shooting the breeze with the other customers. It is a place where service, and that of the consumer are number one. I look forward to going here again in the future, that is, whenever I get back to Glenwood Springs, or around the area.
(5)Janelle E.
After seeing the wide range of reviews I was hesitant but with some coddling from friends I jumped in. The bartenders were very knowledgeable, attendant, and helpful. The seared duck with okra and polenta was good but not extraordinary - needed something.....however...the Black Forest bread pudding with a glass of red wine was the best thing I've had in awhile. Ask for extra cherries!
(4)Sonia H.
OMG! From the watermelon salad to the black forest bread pudding (with homemade nutella). A culinary experience.
(5)Brandon M.
This place was fantastic, a true pork-lover's Mecca. 5/5 for presentation 5/5 for variety on menu 5/5 for taste 5/5 for service 5/5 for speed (our small plates were out in less than 8 mins) We ordered: Simple Greens - salad, self-explanatory Short Rib tacos- very tasty, but kind of hard to eat as an actual taco. Pork Belly- very crispy outside while still extremely tender in the center. Pork Chop Porterhouse (special)- I've never had a pork chop this good before. All of the sides amounted to the taste of thanksgiving in your mouth. I would definitely come back if I were in Glenwood Springs. This restaurant could easily thrive back home in Chicago and could compare to some of the great culinary experiences there.
(5)Lisa P.
Incredible food! But it is pricey and the portions are on the small side. Nice ambiance. Call for a reservation, because they are often booked.
(4)Sean K.
The best meal we had in Glenwood Springs! On recommendation from the waiter, I had the pork shoulder and cleaned my plate. My wife had the colorado bass, which was also excellent. Don't miss the gnocchi salad or the picked deviled eggs!
(5)Brandi W.
Two excellent meals here! The patio was a great spot to enjoy dinner and drinks. We had the nettle fettuccine and the top sirloin, both awesome. Steak was cooked to medium-rare perfection as asked. Potatoes were good, green goddess sauce a bit different, but tasty. House-made pasta MADE the fettuccine dish, the sauce had a nice spiciness and the pancetta incredible! Can't wait to come back! Best restaurant in Glenwood.
(5)Julie H.
You know a restaurant is great when the Dr. says something like "Let's go to Glenwood Springs so we can eat at The Pullman again". It's almost a 3 hour drive from Denver and I wouldn't say it's THAT good but it's easily the best meals we have had in Glenwood. Also, a must stop on the way back from Palisade. It's a very nice meal in a causal environment. About the food... it's hard to tell you what to order because everything we have had was fantastic. They have that 'farm to table' thing going so everything is uber fresh. I'm somewhat in love with the pork belly with apple butter and crispy brussels sprouts. The combination is absolute perfection. We usually split a few plates but their sandwhiches are very filling on their own. My son usually just has a negotiation with our server on what they can make him that day... it's pretty cute how well he interacts with wait-staff these days. They also have always had a few outstanding draft beers on tap and full bar with talented staff. This is always a must for a 5-star rating.
(5)Alexis G.
The Pullman was a nice find on our way to Snowmass. The location is great -- it is a in the cute downtown area across from the river. I ordered the Cobb sandwich with a side of the kale salad. The sandwich consisted of turkey, bacon, avocado, and bleu cheese. Nice flavors. The kale salad was served with pine nuts and currants. The currants made the salad too sweet. It would have been better if it had a little acidity to cut the sweetness. Next time, I will try the simple salad instead of the kale salad. Another slight downfall of The Pullman was the service. Our server had too much attitude that detracted from the experience. If I pass through Glenwood Springs again, I will give the Pullman another try, but I will hope for better service.

This is the worst place I have been to in my life worst customer service I had ever had!!!!!!
(1)Suzanne S.
Went there for a girls weekend after a day of pampering. We were able to just walk there from the lodge. The food was fantastic. We each tried to get something different to share, but there was so much food, we couldn't finish it all. Salads were fantastic. Kept thinking of how much my husband would love this place. I am definitely coming back with him next time!
(5)Wes M.
Excellent food, service, beers, and cocktails. We'll be returning here every time we're in Glenwood Springs.
(5)Nathalie A.
I was a solo walk in on a very busy Mother's Day Brunch. They accommodated me quickly with a very nice corner table. From the host to my server everyone was friendly and made great recommendations. I loved my corned beef hash (the best I have ever had) and even ordered a side order to go so I could have a friend try it. I will be back! Thank you for an enjoyable Mother's Day brunch!
(5)Dan R.
This place is unbelievable! The staff is so friendly it feels like you know them personally. The food however is the best! It's what real food is supposed to taste like. Come and introduce your taste buds to a new group of friends! 5/5!

Two trips to Glenwood Springs, two dinners at The Pullman, two enthusiastic thumbs up! The space is decidedly industrial but nicely warmed up with exposed brick and beautiful gray walls, a wood ceiling in the bar area, lots of big windows throughout, and a large open kitchen fronted by a whimsical pig statue. I'm not exactly sure what the pig is all about but I'm guessing it's some kind of tribute to the restaurant's philosophy of using only fresh, local, in-season ingredients. During our most recent visit, I began the meal with the night's special tomato soup with candied almonds. The soup's puree texture and delicious smoky flavor was wonderfully accented by the sweet roasted almonds. The Hubs chose the roasted cauliflower salad with shishito pepper relish served on a bed of arugula. The buttery cauliflower was a great compliment to the fresh, crisp arugula and sweet peppers. For entrees, I had the hugely portioned grilled hangar steak au poivre with a cheesy cauliflower gratin. The steak was perfectly cooked and I honestly have never enjoyed cauliflower more. The Hubs had the venison pasta special with a light creamy cheese sauce. I can't remember what kind of pasta was in the dish (maybe it was gnocchi?) but it was freshly made and the venison was tender and well-seasoned. It was the perfect hearty dish for that crisp, cold night. We chatted a minute with the manager when he came by our table to make sure everything was going well. He said it's a good place to be and the owners and chef are outstanding. I definitely agree and can't wait for our next visit to Glenwood.
(5)Patrick B.
A really well-thought-out casual bistro. Good wine list, thoughtful and versatile menu, and even good cocktails. I absolutely loved the steak salad. a good mix of flavorful greens and sharp, spicy blue cheese dressing, with frites as a kind of crouton! hanger steak cooked to desired temp with a nice amount of char. My partner had the ricotta gnocchi and coriander creamed corn. Awfully good but not as good as my steak salad! Good service and even the kids menu was thoughtful and well designed. We're going back for lunch today.
(4)Susan H.
Delicious. Such a nice alternative to the dated steakhouses and burger joints in Glenwood. The waiter was an absolute doll, very nice to the boy. Even though they have a pointed sign at the door "Your Well-Behaved Children are Welcome".....We had two appetizers (the truffled fried pigskin is so good it's stupid), wine and beer (their house red is really surprisingly good) three entrees and got out of there for just about $100..... which for the area, is a bargain. And the food is fantastic - I had a slow-roasted pork shoulder chunk nestled in a bed of creamy grits, topped with a pickled radish slaw. The waiter said it was a "deconstructed pozole", which hadn't occurred to me, but it was true! Fantastic place.

The Pullman came highly recommended from several people when I mentioned that I was traveling to Glenwood Springs. I knew I had to give it a shot. This restaurant was exceptional in every way! First of all the service was some of the best I've ever seen in a crowded restaurant. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and answered all of our questions without hesitation. We even had another staff member come over to check on us several times to see if what we ordered was up to our satisfaction. The staff was fast to get our food out...second to none. The food was amazing as well. I ordered mussels which were some of the best I have ever tasted. They came with a special kind of sausage in the broth and a rolled up pork rind on top. My girlfriend ordered the calamari salad which was also exceptional. We had duck nuggets for an appetizer which were also very good. I can't say I have ever had duck nuggets before so the second server came over to explain how they are made from the shavings off of one of their other main dishes...very interesting we thought. Overall I would say if you are in Glenwood Springs for ANY amount of time, you have to eat at The Pullman!
(5)Stephanie M.
Unique menu items and original cocktails make this place special. It's neatly placed around the downtown area, and has a friendly and helpful staff. My boyfriend was impressed with their spicy margarita and bloody mary. Our main dishes were the duck carbonara and pierogis, both were fantastic. The sauce in each dish had flavors that made the dishes that much more enjoyable. There was a balance among each different component of the dishes that made them harmonious in themselves. The portions were also just right - not massive-sized plates with ridiculous amounts. The charm of the interior is modern but humble, fitting in with the feel of the town. We ended with simple yet satisfying dessert - Olive oil pound cake with gelato and ice cream. The dessert menu is short but all the items sound like an experience you've rarely had, if at all. I wish we could have tried them all. The snacks alone are worth it, if you're looking for a selection of food and not just one dish. Salmon melt crostini gets two thumbs up from me! They're hardy and flavorful, the bread holds up to the pile of ingredients and doesn't have that tooth-breaking kind of texture I was anticipating (thank goodness). All in all, we enjoyed our lunch and will definitely return and recommend when in town.
(4)Andrew S.
Since Six89 in Carbondale closed for dinner, we needed a suitable alternative for Christmas Eve. The Pullman exceeded my expectations and I hope it becomes a staple for nice meals out whenever I'm in the area. It also serves as easily one of the best restaurants in Glenwood Springs. The decor is cool with a modern-cabin feel. Along one of the walls is street art with some scrawl from a chicken about eating more pork. I listened! To start, we ordered the short rib tacos. The kimchee on it was a little strange and odiferous, but the meat was succulent and tender. I really enjoyed them as our starter. I had the pork shoulder which did not disappoint. Very good meat selections here, overall, and some interesting, creative touches for garnishes. Everyone at the table was full and happy when we finished, so job well done! This is a great spot to bring family and friends who want a relaxing and chill environment to eat some great meat and enjoy a few drinks. I wish it had been warmer out because it's nearby some intriguing restaurants/bars and it would have been nice to walk around. I'm definitely going back in the spring to check it out again.
(4)J R.
We gave this place two chances and we were disappointed both times. First attempt, we went for dinner and the host, who made no eye contact and did not greet us, had us waiting for 10-15 minutes before telling us that it was a 30 minute wait, we left and went to Colorado Ranch House (recommend this one). The second attempt was for lunch the following day, we got drinks and an appetizer which was only okay--and waited 2 hours at least for our main courses which never came. The waiter kept promising us that the food was about to come out and we waited and waited and nothing... We even saw a large group being served before us and others too that had come in after us. We eventually left and went to another restaurant and were served in 15-20 minutes. The service at The Pullman is terrible and even at their own admission ("We made a mistake") I recommend avoiding this place until their service improves.

best bone marrow ... EVER! if I could give half stars, this place would get 4 1/2, but since I can't, i'll up it to a 5 - only because the super friendly bartender chatted with us and gave T a taster of a tequilla old fashioned while we were waiting for our table and because our waitress brittany was so fun and the service was top notch. i was completely satisfied with everything about the pullman. all our food was deeee-lish. i have to agree with the other reviewers though - the portions are a bit on the smaller side, which would be why I would give 4 1/2 stars. they were perfect for me, but not enough to satiate T's appetite. we ordered one piece of bone marrow, half a dozen oysters, lardo, and went for a second piece of bone marrow for our appetizers. as I stated above, best bone marrow ever! drenched in butter and topped with a red onion jam, all the flavors melted together. the lardo was nice and salty, with a sweet taste from the asian pears. our main dishes were the pork belly and sea scallops. both of the mashed potato sides complimented the main dishes extremely well. the pork belly could have used a little crispiness to it, but it was fall apart tender and you could taste the true flavor of the meat. the scallops were nicely cooked, but there were only three in the dish. for dessert we had the butterscotch budino which was light and airy. T loves salted caramel so this really hit the spot with him. total damage of the food including 4 vodka lemonades, 2 old fashions and a Moscow mule ... $120. this was the best experience I've had in a long time. too bad Glenwood is 3 hours away from home or i'd definitely be frequenting this place a lot.
(5)Michelle C.
Don't set your expectations sky high because of the great reviews! The gnocchi salad was memorable, but entrees were just decent. We were here on a busy night and the service was extremely lacking. Took way too long to place our order, get refills, and our check at the end of the meal. Overpriced as well.
(2)Nikki G.
Yum! Great vegetarian options and the cocktails were awesome. The waiter was a lot of fun and the decor was really nice. Very unique and eclectic food for their location on a pretty touristy strip.
(5)Michelle L.
This place was amazing! I recommend making reservations. Delicious local brews on tap, best steak I have ever had and great salad choices. Intriguing menu!
(5)Maddie M.
The Pullman is a real treasure here in Glenwood Springs. My boyfriend and I went on a Friday and thank goodness we made a reservation because there was a bit of a wait for walk-ins. We were quickly seated by the hostess who actually may have been a manager, because she did a great job of checking in on other tables between seating people. Our waiter came by and asked if we had ever been to The Pullman. Nope, we were newbies. He explained that there were no favorite dishes and that everything on the menu was great. If we didn't like something, they'd fix it. He was right! The food was amazing. We started with the truffle pork rinds which had great seasoning and crunch. The bone marrow was a little disappointing because we were only able to get two scoops out but that's what makes bone marrow so exclusive. For our entrees we ordered the pork belly and the shoulder fillet. Both were to die for except the sauce for the fillet was too salty. Our waiter could tell something was wrong by my face so we told him and he took the plate to the back. He and the chef tried it and agreed that it wasn't good. So they comped it and we ordered the duck. I was really impressed with how fast they took care of the problem and the great attitude out waiter had. My boyfriend and I have both worked in the restaurant business and we know what it's like when people complain. Our waiter assured us that it was not a problem and boom- we had our new entree. The duck was so juicy and delicious my mouth is watering right now just thinking about it. They also had a great selection of wine and beer, but we focused more on the food. The Pullman = wonderful night out
(5)Corey J.
Probably the best place in Glenwood Springs. My wife, daughter and I were fortunate enough to get a table without a wait, but will make reservations in the future. Atmosphere is trendy, but not over the top. Could have done without the 2 TV's on. Food and presentation was done well. I recommend ordering a "snack" since the large plate serving sizes are not incredibly large. The poutine was freaking amazing as was the steak dish. The roasted pork shoulder fell short, under seasoned and flat tasting. We will definitely return!
(4)Beth S.
I had high hopes for this restaurant. I loved its Retro decor. But was let done by the terrible and slow service. Our waitress was too busy flirting with the guys sitting at the table next to us. It took 15 minutes for someone to take our drink order and another 30 after that for our food order. Then some of our food came out burnt. yes... black!
(2)Dan B.
Sunday brunch as good as it gets. Food quality, preparation, and presentation is excellent; fine dining like the city. Service is fantastic as well. We interacted with several staff members for seating, serving, food running etc and everyone represents the company as I always hope my employees do.
(5)Stephen H.
Had top of the line food and beverage pairings. I started with some pickled deviled eggs and the balsamic pickled cherries next to the pork belly paired with the elevation sason. Next course I I enjoyed the truffle pierogis with the liesurely gentleman cocktail made with gin, muddled peaches, and amazing barrel aged bitters. The final course I chose the Colorado pan seared bass with roasted corn and a maple gastrique paired the the telluride brown ale. Great dinner and environment.
(5)Jessica E.
To preface: We've been to this restaurant twice prior to tonight. First time was fantastic; the service, ambience, food, and cocktails were amazing. Second time the server was extremely knowledgeable and the ambience was still great but the food a little disappointing. This last time was extremely disappointing in every aspect. Review: Our greeting was rude and they were not helpful when we mentioned we wanted a seat at the bar. Our server then walked up and said, "Ummm... Soo... Ummm drinks?" This is verbatim. No name, no hello, no how are you. When we had questions or wanted recommendations, our server was either non-responsive, uninformed, or simply regurgitated what the menu said. I won't bore you with details... The food was awful... Didn't even eat half. Worst part of the experience was when one dish was slammed down rudely, seemingly angrily, loudly, and with out a word from the food runner. Not sure that we'll be coming back. Too bad, as we planned this trip to Glenwood with the Pullman in mind, even planning to eat there multiple times. We planned on staying longer, eating more, and drinking more but got out as quickly as possible and only ordered two snacks and one salad before deciding we were no longer interested. Side note: Previously, we were told the menu was inspired by season and locality. It seemed autumn inspired to me... It's March 23rd. Also, I would like to mention we have been servers for at least 8-10 years each, we are usually very forgiving of service and food but this was so terrible we felt cheated and it left a bad taste in our mouths. Literally and figuratively.
(1)Heather W.
One of the best meals of our lives. It was SO good - from the artichokes and pork rinds to the gnocchi salad, crab cake and turkey special. We loved it all, worth every penny and awesome service. It is SO amazing to get great service AND food - usually it is just one or the other. I think we are going back for lunch tomorrow - mmmmmmmmmmmm. Do NOT miss this place!

This place was great! What a nifty find in Glenwood! Our service was top notch, the atmosphere seemed almost Napa-like, and the food was really delicious! I ordered the chicken with gnocchi & beets and devoured each bite of it. It was so amazing! The hubs ordered the ribeye special with squash blossoms, but then just missed out on ordering the last one. So the server politely asked if he would like something else instead, which turned out to be the other steak option on the menu instead. Squash blossom included! How nice is that to add a blossom? The hubs was quite happy with his order, despite the special being out. All he really wanted was the blossom anyway. The cocktails were great too! Overall, a fabulous experience and a great newer addition to Glenwood Springs!

Yummy, yum-yum!! Need I say more? A *must stop* whenever we are in Glenwood Springs!! Everything we have ever tried has been super tasty, unique, and fairly priced. Now, if only Harman's in Denver could maintain the quality and diversity of the Pullman menu, I'd be in 7th-foodie-heaven!!

This is a very good restaurant that inspires confidence. Sufficient confidence that I ordered oysters from Washington State and loved them and survived to tell the tale.I also had trout and some first rate beer.Kudos to our charming , funny waiter ,Eric. This a place you want to go to in a town that has a lot of restaurants.

Had a burger and a salad and it was okay. The service however was horrific. It took 10 minutes for me to be acknowledged that I had arrived. It also took over an hour for me to be initially served until time I left and I was the only person in my party. Very very very disappointed in the service, and I spoke to the manager about it and he did nothing to attempt to rectify it I would not recommend this place to anyone

I had two AMAZING meals here in July and one ok meal here last Friday. Based on July - 5 stars, based on Friday night - 3 stars. The difference was in the server. The poor guy seemed very new, frazzled and didn't know much about the menu or the wine list. I had to ask for a desert menu as he was ready to bring the check. It was a bit disappointing given our meals in July were outstanding and last Friday my steak was only warm-ish. Everyone has an off day. Overall, a gem of a restaurant in Glenwood Springs. Hopefully the new guy will get some more training. I would give them another shot.

This place is awesome have lived in the valley for 6 months and just ate here for the first time wow amazing best food up here by far I'm from Southern California and this is just like being at home. It's a must if your in glenwood

We are presently on a vacation in Glennwood and have tried twice to eat at The Pullman only to be turned away by the HORRIBLE service from the hostess. Between the answering of phones while talking to us, texting on her cell phone, or walking away from us in mid sentence - she is costing this restaurant business. Message to the management: we have tried to enjoy a meal two nights in a row at your restaurant. Your hostess is either over worked and needs help or she needs to find work elsewhere. We are not the only people that have left because of her. We would love to think there is hope for this restaurant but could not get past the staff at the door. Stay away for now.

Great place and great service. Lunch was a reasonable price. The atmosphere was a little loud, but it was clean and welcoming.

First recommendation: reservations on a weekend night! We called on a Saturday afternoon and was offered only 5pm or 830pm for dinner slots for a party of 8. Maybe if we were a smaller party, the time slots would have been more abundant. The service at the Pullman was excellent. For a party of 8, I don't think I had to wait for a server to come by and check on drinks, food, etc. The food here is fantastic! I ordered house made kimchee (random, but good) and their shoulder loin. All I can say is the food is great. The food came out relatively quick too. The atmosphere is great for date night or dinner with friends.
(5)misty d.
My one and only favorite in Glenwood Springs. A little on the loud side. Food is great and well priced. Do it!
(5)Gabe D.
This was an amazing place, amazing waiter, great food. The food is all natural, and very tasty. The Rocky Mtn Blackberry Soda is a great natural soda made with beet sugar. Glad we came here
(5)Tyler G.
I like where this place is going, but nothing fully delivered. Everything on the menu looks super creative and interesting, especially for being in Glenwood Springs. Our large table ordered just about all the starters and a lot of the entrees. Plating was nice but immediately I noticed some things going wrong. Like the truffled pigs ears tasted like tar and the bone marrow was a tiny tiny portion and didn't seem complete. I ordered five different cocktails; i sent one back, didn't drink another and thoroughly enjoyed the bacon infused one. One out of five is kind of sad. My duck meatloaf was good but I couldn't really tell it was duck. Again, it was good, but nothing special. I guess I enjoyed having at least something creative in a small mountain town that harbors walmart, but I wish they hit the mark more precisely.

Pulling Me Back A year after my first trip to Glenwood Springs, I couldn't wait to have dinner again at The Pullman. In fact, I was so excited that I skipped most of the filling (free!) happy hour fare at a conference networking event down the street, in favor of readying my stomach for what The Pullman would have to offer. My friend and I arrived to the restaurant around 9:00 and despite a mostly full house, the hostess was able to quickly seat us at a nice elevated two top near the window. The Pullman has the fortunate problem of having too many items on the menu that sound delicious. Item after item seems to fill a niche--comfort food, avant garde or just plain simple. I like this approach because it seems less like each dish is a recycled version of the last, yet everything seems to hang together in a locavore sort of way. I was incredibly pleased to see my favorite type of white wine on the list, a Gruner, and my friend ordered a boozy delicacy that tasted just like an orange creamcicle. Holy holy was it good and a great start to an evening at a pretty perfect restaurant. After much deliberation I went with the shrimp bisque and the calamari salad from the large salad portion of the menu. Both were outstanding and neither contained an overpowering fish taste or scent. What impresses me most is that the chef knows what flavors to pair with each dish, making even basic dishes appear unique. My dining companion went with the filet, which has a 'herbalicious' chimichurri on top that takes the steak to dreamy levels. We couldn't help ourselves, so we decided to try the sous chef's new gingerbread ice cream. I'm glad we went with two scoops because we would have likely been sad to only split one between us. Again, the flavor achieved perfection. Gingerbread can be bitter and overpowering, but he managed to find the literal sweet spot. The Pullman is one of those restaurants I wish was a stones throw away from my house, so I can show up once a week and just order every item on the menu. Alas, all I can do is hope to find myself back in Glenwood Springs so that I can enjoy another evening of culinary delight.
(5)Travis M.
Wow! There is not much more to say. The service is awesome, the cocktails are amazing and the food is even better! Many thanks to Steve, Jon, Niki, and Susan for their hospitality. We will most definitely be back the next time we are here!
(5)Michael W.
Stopped here on Sunday evening of a Sat-Mon Glenwood Springs visit. Wish I had tried this place sooner. Had a fantastic meal, the combinations of flavors, things that I hadn't experienced before. A fantastic meal for two, with a nice red, dessert; under $100 prior to the gratuity. A great meal, excellent service. Nothing to complain about. I'll come back to Glenwood just to dine here again.
(5)R.B. F.
The Pullman has an unusual variety of great foods. We were able to try all kinds of delicious dishes. Highly recommended!
(5)Elizabeth C.
Thanks To Pullman for a great meal! Atmosphere was very warm inviting and trendy--not easy to pull off. Menu was creative with lots (almost too many!) options. We had the appetizer special of tator tots with white cheddar with a curry sauce...they were awesome with lot of flavor. My dad had the steak salad, which was a nice size, well dressed with lots of flavor. I had the orecchiette with Parmesan broth...good dish--maybe needed a little more seasoning. Desserts were great...especially the cinnamon roll bread pudding. Nice affordable wine list...the house wine was fabulous! Service was really outstanding...lots of attentive staff who were knowledgeable on the menu and recommended great choices. Highly recommend!

The wifey and I have been to the Pullman twice now, the last two times we've visited Glenwood. The first time we happened to stumble in as we were making our way to Glenwood Brewing...I believe it had only been open for a few months at that time, and we were blown away by the quality of the experience...everything we ate and drank was delicious (Rib Eye and Habanero Margarita anyone?) and the service was impeccable to boot. The next time around we made reservations in advance, and we're glad we did! Some folks walking in ahead of us were told they'd have to wait at least an hour to get a table...popular joint, and its obvious why! Again we were impressed by our entrees, she had roasted chicken with gnocchi and I had hanger steak with roasted potatoes ..we shared a beet salad to start, and there was plenty of tasty, crusty bread supplied. Cocktails were excellent again as well (though I was a little sad they didn't have the spicy option from the previous visit) and we sampled their house red wine as well, which was reasonably priced at $3 per half-glass. Service this time around was not quite as excellent, tending towards the aloof side...aloofness vs overbearingness is definitely a hard thing to balance, and didn't seem quite as balanced this time, but oh well, like I said they were also really busy. Again I have to recommend the Pullman and say that I'll be back next time I'm in town.
(5)Zach R.
There I was, driving across country with my fiancé. We stopped in a burg known to the locals as glenwood springs. We searched yelp for a fine haunt to eat at. The Pullman was recommended. Yelp didn't lie. Literally one of the three best meals of my life. Don't think about it, eat here. Right meow. It's priced at two dolla signs, but it's totally worth every red cent.
(5)Melissa M.
seriously???? way over priced, underportioned, lousy service......
(1)Tom H.
High class food, interesting menu with a lot to try, will come back next time in town. Service was slower than expected for how busy (not busy) it was. Recommend for an early dinner, reservation needed on fri/sat night during peak hours.
(4)Al L.
Wow what an excellent experience I found the Pullman by luck during a recent visit to Glenwood Springs and boy am I glad I did. The food was great, the service was excellent and the beer my waiter recommended was a perfect compliment to my meal. The atmosphere is really welcoming and comfortable and I thought the meals were not only great tasting but also a great value. I would highly recommend the Pullman, I can't wait to return
(5)Brooke B.
So was in the neighborhood, they were the only restaurant on the strip to take reservations, that's common sense in a tourist area, i don't know what all those other owners are thinking?? Anyways, got there at 7:45 packed but they got us our table!! lovely high top by the window! Our server was Jon. Now im very particular on judging people on their personal hygiene, since im a hair stylist and a server as well. Jon had a beard, BUT very well maintained and his appearance was great. He was so knowledgeable on the food they have, not just their specials everything!! we had gotten the creamy crab dip as an app.....YUM. I got the sirloin and substituted my side for smoked mashed potatoes holly delicious!!! best mashed potatoes ive had! They also cut my sirloin which i have never seen before and that was great since, we all know sirloin doesn't stop cooking.... It was perfect. My boyfriend got pork belly! YUCK! lol he loved it i just don't eat pork. He said it was the best pork, hes ever had. Jon was super attentive although he was super busy. Great over all experience. Thanks for making my birthday dinner the best!! And we will be going to your other location in cherry creek very soon!!
(5)Slate B.
Excellent service from the moment we walked in with all of our luggage. My 10 year old and 13 year old daughters both had the Mac & Cheese which came in a just right portion to leave room for dessert. They devoured it. The Fair Lady / Pick Eater ordered the Steak Salad which was carefully prepared as she requested. Happy wife, happy life. I had the grilled Flat Iron with Blue Cheese Augratin. Excellent start to finish. Great selection of mixed drinks, local brews and wine list. Recommended.
(5)Sean A.
The food here is strange and awkward. I ordered French fries that had what seemed like coconut shavings on them, not good at all! I ordered a burger which seemed like it was placed between a biscuit, and nothing else. The meat was too thick and lacked flavor. I stopped by here for lunch after going to the hot springs because of all the good reviews. I should have just bought a sandwich at the gas station or something. High prices for very awkward food. I don't know who created the menu, but simple things like burgers and fries don't really need anything complicated, such as coconut shavings on French fries.
(1)Shaun S.
Great Food No Happy Hour
(4)Dee B.
Wow, having been in the States on a three week holiday, this was by far the best meal we have eaten. My boyfriend and I had no reservations but it was given top place on yelp so we gave it a try. We were lucky as they had space. What a lovely dining room, large windows, and hardwood floors, we admired the old style light bulbs, love the decor. Anyway back to the food. For drinks I'd a beer and my boyfriend was made a mojito although not on the menu. We were hungry-ish, so shared a starters of pork belly with caramelised peaches with rhubarb, scrumptious. For mains my boyfriend had pan roasted salmon with smoked potato mash and green beans, his verdict was nommage, our term for food heaven! We love salmon and it was the yummiest he said he had in a long while. I opted for the grilled steak salad. It came with a sprinkling of blue cheese and crunchy bacon bits. Delicious. It also came with a side of a bean ragut, they kindly brought it after I requested it to replace the fries. To end this yummy meal, we shared a tart cherry crisp. Lastly, a heads up to the staff of this restaurant who were so courteous and friendly. This is a fine spot that deserves your custom.
(5)Art M.
Pretty good overall. The Mrs. had a clear Italian vegetable soup and I had roast chicken, the pork belly starter was excellent but the deep fried perch starter would have been better sautéed or perhaps broiled with rock salt. Deep fried starters are appetite killers. Also tried the deviled eggs which were excellent. Odd how the humble deviled egg is showing up more and more on menus.
(3)Trent B.
This is the best restaurant in Glenwood Springs! The menu is very creative. I can't say enough how delicious it is. I recommend you try something you normally wouldn't order and expect to be delighted. Some of my all time favorites here are Bone Marrow appetizer (it may not be on menu anymore), Kale Salad, Mac & Cheese small dish and Bacon/Maple Ice Cream. Nothing here falls of the Cisco truck and the Chef pairs up amazing flavors. One caveat... my kids don't love it as much as I do (they would rather eat more standard fare) and if you don't like to get a little adventurous, The Pullman may not be for you! But me, I like the adventure!! I also try to get a reservation (usually only early or late, they don't offer too many) if I can.
(5)Paul D.
Fancy, fancy fancy. Quite the culinary adventure, if you're into that kind of thing. Nothing is normal here, everything has some special gourmet twist. Oh well, I had the hangar steak which was amazing, and my wife had the roasted chicken, which was scary undercooked, and MIGHT have given her mild food poisoning. They initially said it was pink due to the brine they marinated it in, but gladly cooked it more, and even took it off our bill. For a nice night out in Glenwood, I would definitely go back.
(3)Laura A.
Service is impeccable and they are very knowledgeable of the menu. It is a foodie dream in Glenwood Springs. I would recommend trying a sampler of things, which could get pricey but portions are small. Next time I am in Glenwood, I will be stopping by again for more taste off their eclectic menu.
(4)Julio T.
Can a menu be too enticing? If there is such a thing, the Pullman has it. We had to send away our server three times before ordering because every single thing on it looks so utterly delicious. A few examples: Butternut squash agnolotti (sort of like ravioli apparently) with mushrooms and smoked bacon; Lamb meatballs with feta gnudi (like gnocchi but made with ricotta) and sun-dried tomato gremolata (a zesty paste made with lemon and parsley); autumn vegetable cianfotta (hearty stew) with parmesan broth, basil pesto and grilled bread slices; pan seared diver scallops with butternut squash risotto, bacon and bourbon maple gastrique. Plus there was duck meatloaf, hanger steak and Colorado lamb shoulder. I am not sure I have ever seen a menu so full of things I wanted to eat. I went for the truffle potato pierogis with caramelized onion and scallion creme fraiche. It was amazing. Each of these perfect potato pockets were full of a wickedly delicious caramelized onion paired with specks of decadent truffle served with truffle broth and a dollop of fresh creme. My girlfriend opted for a Colorado grass-fed beef burger and it was one of the best burgers she or I have ever tasted (She was kind enough to give me a bite). The burger was made from high quality ground steak and had a wonderful fatty, savory consistency. It was served with a some sweet caramelized onions and a salty flavorful cheddar that melted into the burger. The fries on the side were also quite good, fried almost tempura style with shaved Parmesan. After such an incredible meal, we knew he had to see what this place could do for dessert. We chose a pumpkin bread pudding with maple ice cream and pumpkin seed brittle. It was amazing. The bread stood up by itself with a dollop of creme anglaise. On the other side was the ice cream and on both was the salty/crunchy pumpkin brittle. The combination of all four was one of the single greatest bites of food I've ever had. It was sweet. It was savory. It was soft. It was crunchy. It was salty. It all went together so well. And to top it off the service was really great despite us being somewhat indecisive. The server capably defined the menu's glossary of unfamiliar food terms. The prices at the Pullman we're another great surprise with everything on the menu $20 and under. My girlfriend and I had dinner and dessert for only $33. A similar restaurant in Denver would easily have the bill above $45 or $50. The restaurant wasn't at all fussy or fancy. You could eat dinner in a t-shirt and barely dried swim trunks and they wouldn't care. They simply let the food make it a fine-dining experience. The Pullman was just a fantastic restaurant that single-handedly elevates the culinary scene of Glenwood Springs. No longer are the springs or the scenery the main attraction for me...The Pullman pulls me back into town.
(5)Adrianne W.
I would pull off of I--70 to eat here. Everything tasted great. We had the reuben and the hamburger.
(5)Leslie S.
Can only review service and beer. Stopped in for a beer. A very eclectic selection. Host recommended an Aspen pilsner it was great. Service was very friendly and attentive for just one drink.
(3)Joe N.
The calimari with citrus aioli was amazing. -as was the warm spinach and mushroom salad. The apple crisp, not so much- I felt that they went too heavy on the spices, and it overpowered the apples. The homemade sage ice cream was really good though. Best of all, the service was outstanding. Oh- you have to try the potine- French fries and gravy on steroids! And wash it down with a basil julep!
(5)Brady K.
On this one, we didn't have a clue of where to go and we used the Yelp app and just trusted. I can honestly say, I wouldn't have picked this place if I was on my own because Juicy Lucy and something called Rib City was also in walking distance. Its a little tricky to get to, because its under the bridge that crosses the river and you have to circle around to get down to 7th. But I would strongly recommend that you do. Its pretty obvious that people in the know go here and I can only imagine what this place is like when the tourists pack it in too. Even if this restaurant wasn't in tourist trap central that is Glenwood Springs, this is a great restaurant. Everything on the menu looked fantastic. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich and my wife had a kale salad and turkey cobb. Both sandwiches and the salad were original takes on classic sandwiches that really worked. Original, flavorful, and fresh would be the words I would use. Heck, I'm pretty sure they made their own ketchup too. I have to say, I would definitely go here again and again, any time I go to Glenwood Springs.
(5)David K.
The Pullman is a strong 4 star restaurant for sure. The prices are reasonable. The selection on the menu was a perfect blend of American classics with some more adventurous choices thrown in. The service is impeccable yet casual. I was really blown away by this place. I used to live in Aspen and no other restaurant in the valley combines the elements of value and quality period. And only a handful of restaurants at best are better. If you are looking for dinner down valley this has to be your first choice.
(4)Kate K.
Finally got around to trying The Pullman this weekend while a friend was in town visiting. This place is great! Our food was all awesome - we had the lamb meatballs and feta gnudi, the pulled pork and cheddar grits and the truffled pea agnolotti. And for dessert, my friend ordered the strawberry rhubarb cobbler with basil ice cream. YUM. The service was a tiny bit slow, but I'll let that slide the first time around - especially because the food was so good. The one odd thing we encountered was that we had to wait quite awhile for menus after we were seated. The manager explained why, but his rationale didn't quite make sense to me. Next time I'm in Glenwood Springs, I'll make an effort to visit The Pullman again.
(4)A C.
Lots of good energy here with diverse patrons. The asian appetizer was yum! Good selection of draft beers. Staff is well trained with fast service. The shrimp entree as well as the bolognese were delicious. Dine on the outdoor patio, sit at the bar or be seated at a cozy table by the window.
(4)Eric W.
Stopped here on our way to Denver. This place does a great job of offering delicious and unique dishes. The atmosphere is great and we enjoyed ourselves. I would skip the Bone Marrow though. I tried it because of all the hype on the Food Network. Everything else was great.
(4)Philip M.
Best meal and experience of 2013, hands down. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the restaurant scene was perfect. My boyfriend and I came in for a late Sunday night dinner. We were quickly and kindly whisked away to our tables. The restaurant was well-lit, clean, and had a warm vibe. Our server, Tiffany, quickly introduced herself and she was the best server I've had all year. Throughout the whole night she was attentive (but not over-bearingly so), provided recommendations, chatted us up when we wanted to be chatted up and left us alone when we wanted to be alone. Food was brought out and drinks were poured quickly. As I mentioned, the meal too was the best of 2013. I had a special, a 10oz pork on the bone with a bed of bacon (!!) kale and a side of banana bread spread on the bottom. Amazing. My boyfriend had the duck and he said it was excellent as well. We also had the chips with blue cheese (very good) and 2 oysters on the half shell (excellent). They rotate their menus every 6 weeks and it's an interesting mix of meals for nearly everyone. Everything from bone marrow to basic american fare. Good beer list, but if I HAD to find a negative, I wish there were more beers on tap. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it!
(5)tania C.
Tried the pullman by rec of an staffer at village smittys in carbondale...not dissappointed! Served at bar as there was a 45 min wait, although tables still empty while we ate at bar the entire time? Our bar waiter was an expert re: menu suggestions were right on. We started with pork rinds with truffle oil (although this was almost a deterant as truffle oil is a no no in culinary circles---if you like to watch chopped) they were crispy airy and delicious. Next oysters from pugent sound WA interesting small and tangy and pricey $2.50 per oyster. Duck version of Pho was very good. Duck nuggets with rhubarb catsup my favorite. Salmon grilled perfectly melts in your mouth laid nicely over smoked pureed potatoes. Dessert equally worth it ...we split all our plates which made dessert a possibility. $75 without tip for 2 without alcohol. Great birthday dinner. Will visit if ever back in Glenwood
(5)tim w.
So, at the prompting of the manager I went back and gave The Pullman another pull. Once again the service was friendly, attentive and engaging. (This was true on my prior visit, despite the 'problem') Food was like art. You almost feel bad taking the first bite - but it tastes so good... Pork watermelon appetizer was delicious, I could have eaten two more This time I went for steak. Still a little chicken of the chicken. The steak was very good but - when cooked - the chicken still was better. Everyone was so nice and the atmosphere was so welcoming that I have to give 5* This should be a treat during any stay in Glenwood Springs
(5)Kim J.
This is a cool, trendy place. The energy was very up, even for off season. They also are following the trend of very interesting foods. I had a chicken dish that had a mustard sauce. It was so strong that I smelled all next day of the sauce. The brussel sprouts were also very strong in vinegar. The portions are also very modest. We probably will not return when we are back in the area.
(3)Edward W.
This review for lunch only. More formal than the Grind down the street for lunch, with more seating, too, the Pullman serves a terrific lunch, albeit a little pricey. You get what you pay for, though. In a cool space that was formerly a dance club for the younger crowd is The Pullman. Exposed brick walls, an open kitchen and a trendy feel make this restaurant THE new place to dine while in Glenwood Springs. Wait staff are friendly, fairly knowledgeable and attentive, though our server today had not tried the soup special, the Palisades Peach Gazpacho. "I don't like cold soup," says she. Honey, you gotta try the food to be a foodie! The burger was outstanding. Perfectly imperfect in its handmade construction, cooked precisely and topped with wonderful caramelized onions and cheddar cheese. Mmmm! The bun was an oversized English muffin which was exactly the right size for the patty and actually the right wrap choice for this haute cuisine burger. A simple salad comes with the dish consisting of field greens tossed with a light vinaigrette. You may sub fries or cole slaw and chips for the salad. Chef done good. $12. Equally impressive was the Cobb sandwich, turkey, bacon, avocado and blue cheese on a nice baguette. The slaw is delightful, and the house made potato chips were the best I have had in some time. Dark and flavorful, the chips are a reason on their own to come to The Pullman. $11. I shoulda known the food would be outstanding. When we walked in I ordered an iced tea. In contrast to the awful southern sweet tea I had in Nashville recently these Colorado folk could teach those southerners how to make proper tea. Iced tea is simple. So it is that if a restaurant's iced tea is lousy you can usually bet the food will be terrible, too. Nice job on the tea, Pullman. So think really good, but be prepared to open the wallet. TP is def worth a visit if you are in the Glenwood Springs, Aspen, Eagle, and Rifle area. I look forward to providing a dinner review soon!
(4)Eric M.
Great food, great atmosphere, diamond find in a little town. We went to the Pullman on the recommendation of a friend, and we were happy for it. The prices were palatable, the selection was enviable, the flavor combinations were well chosen... what's more to want?
(4)Erin P.
This place is a total win. The food is amazing. The cocktails, also amazing. And the dessert, too, was (you guessed it) amazing. My parents took me to this place for a belated birthday dinner, and nothing we ordered wasn't great. The roasted chicken was about as good as roasted chicken gets; the scallops were cooked perfectly, too. The cocktails are creative and fun. The "push pop" was like a perfect,grown-up creamsicle in drink form. (Don't judge me; it was my birthday!) Also, the bread pudding for dessert. Delish. Service was good. Atmosphere was on the nice side of casual. Totally worth the cost!
(5)Victor C.
This is probably as trendy as it gets in the area. My party of 6 was 30 minutes early for our reservation, so we decided to hang out around the bar. I was looking for Guiness but that's not available, so the bartender suggested Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro. It's from Colorado and I have a thing for local brews. It tastes very similar to Guiness, if not, better! Before I finished my first beer, our table was ready. We were seated right in the middle of the open area of the stylish (almost NYC style) restaurant. The waiter promptly handed us our menus, filled our waters, and told us about the specials for the day. All of which sounded appetizing. We ordered short rib tacos, mac and cheese, duck meat made into a pate like texture, deviled eggs, and more beer for starters. I ordered the fish special for my entree, grouper w/ kale and mashed sweet potatoes. The beer and apps came out promptly, even though we weren't served any of the bread that was being cut at the huge cutting board right next to us. The deviled eggs were delicious, bacon-y, and rich. The duck was part of the specials, it dark meat duck cooked in its own fat until a pate like texture is formed. It was very tasty and went well with the arugula on the plate. Mac and cheese had a very good combination of cheese and topping. My favorite appetizer was the short rib tacos. It was topped with a light kim chi (real kim chi is very pungent) that added a nice crunch and spice to the tender short ribs. The fish special was pan seared grouper. The flaky white fish was served on top of kale with bacon mixed in. At the very bottom of the pile is some mashed sweet potato. I was a little disappointing at the main course since all of the prior dishes were amazing. The grouper itself was very good. Cooked to the right temperature, moist, flavorful. The kale that was below it didn't really work with the dish. It was a little too sharp and too salty. I think spinach would have worked better. The mashed sweet potato decent, tasted as it should. All of the other entrees at the table looked delicious, especially the mussels and frites. After a long 20 minute wait after ordering dessert (longer than we had waited for our entrees), I received my Pumpkin Bread Pudding. It was worth the wait and putting me over my 'full' threshold. I tried my friend's cereal milk dessert and it was amazing. This was a great dinner after a few hours in the hot springs. Beware the price of the 'specials' as they do not tell you off the bat and can charge whatever they like. Their most expensive entree on the menu is $20. But my grouper was $24, which I wouldn't pay for had I known the quality and price. This was a great experience nonetheless and I can't wait to go back in a month!!
(4)Philip Y.
It was great. My family and I enjoyed the unique taste of grilled peaches and duck meatloaf.
(5)M N.
I stopped by this restaurant because the brewery nearby was too busy and I didn't want to wait. It was a lucky decision. The interior space of the restaurant is beautiful and the food is incredible. It's as gourmet as one would find in much larger towns but at Glenwood Springs prices. This should definitely be a stop for any hungry travelers on I-70.
(5)Ann W.
The ambiance was cool in a town that is decidedly not, so this was by far the best option of all the restaurants to choose from. The cucumber vodka with mint cocktail was fantastic. The gnocci salad amazing. By the time I got my salmon, I was full, but ate it anyway because it was very good, too. Our server Joy was great. Only disappointment was that as soon as we said we were not ordering any dessert/more drinks, we were completely ignored, even though we were still finishing our previously ordered drinks. But, that is a fairly small complaint. This place was great.

Whenever I visit Glenwood Springs, I have to make a stop at this restaurant. Delicious delicious food and very reasonably priced.

We were in Glenwood Springs for our Anniversary and found this gem. Our waiter was fabulous and we made a reservation on a Saturday and walked right in to a great table. I had the truffle potato pierogi, and they were fantastic. Great find!

Came here with my boyfriend during vacation in Glenwood. Cocktails - excellent. Bf's burger was good- though he said he would have enjoyed lettuce /tomato with it. I had the eggplant cannelloni - I would not recommend this dish. The risotto was more like sticky rice and the whole thing was bland. Perhaps this isn't the best spot for vegetarians.
(3)Day S.
Our orders were messed up for every single course including drinks. Our waitress wasn't really on top of things and was too slow paced and laid back which made me question her sobriety. Beer list wasn't anything special. Wine list was mediocre to generic. The risotto my girlfriend ordered was underdone and not edible. I think the items on their menu sound really for people who consider themselves a "foodie". The problem with these items is most of them look great on paper but once you are served the disappointment sets in.

The food is way overpriced! The server was very attentive - but that still didn't make up for the price I paid for so little food. I had eaten in other restaurants in the area and their prices were in line for both the quality as well as the quantity of their offerings.

Great place! Found The Pullman on Yelp and decided to stop here for lunch after seeing their terrific menu on their website. The Roasted Bone Marrow was outstanding! Not many restaurants have it. I loved that they gave me a spoon so I could enjoy every bite! We really enjoyed the way their menu was laid out from small salads to large salads and from small to large plates. They have sandwiches too and a good variety of microbrews. We had the mussels and polished them off clear to the bottom of the bowl. I overheard one of the waitstaff say that they change their menu selections quite often. It's nice to know they're keeping their dishes fresh!
(4)Cecilia S.
Great food, service and view looking right out to the mountains and Colorado river. We had the roast beef sandwich on fresh baked bread which is grilled. The sandwich has a bit to it but nothing a nice cold beer could nor cure. Definitely will come back next time we pass through.
(5)Morgan H.
Wow! This place is great and exceeded our expectations!!! From start to finish our experience was fantastic! We started with the burrata. For the main course we had the duck meat balls, braised rabbit and the pork belly. The duck meat balls were delicious!! Our kids shared this dish and ate all of it!! It is very flavorful! The braised rabbit was disappointing. I think the broth took away from it. This was least favorite of our entire meal. The pork belly was rich and delicious!! The Flavors came together perfectly. We will definitely look forward to coming back on our next trip! The prices are great too!!!

This was my third time at Pullman 8-11-13. I had a rabbit and pasta dish. I felt there was too much meat (6-7oz.) for the small amount of pasta( 1/4c). The chanterelle mushrooms were tasteless. My husband had shrimp and grits, we both agreed the grits were too cheesy. My daughter enjoyed her steak salad. My other child enjoyed a burger. I had a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc and an ice tea (bitter). You need to remove the tea bags after brewing to avoid that. The hostess was nice. Our waitress was good. My first time here was a four star in taste and service, the past two are three stars. I'm not excited about it anymore .
(3)Gary B.
Rick and his staff at The Pullman did a fanstastic job! We started out with roasted marrow, and then I had the roasted bass. All the food, as much as is possible, is locally sourced. What I really appreciated was the way ALL the staff worked together. I really know it's a good place when the manager is out there helping with the tabels and not standing idly by. Well done! Our server, Marj, took good care of us. Well done all!
(5)John F.
Not a good place to eat, first thing I noticed was the grease on the front door when we walked in after that just went down hill.. server forgot abut us then finally we received our food and it looked pretty however the salmon I ordered had no flavor best was the mashed patatos and green beans were good, my wife's food duck meatloaf was ok till we got back to the room and she got sick - GREAT !! - what a nice beginning to our NOW short weekend. Sorry guys you failed to get a good grade.
(1)Alia Z.
Love love LOVE this place! After reading countless Yelp reviews, this was a must visit stop on our trip. We weren't disappointed. Between the watermelon and pork appetizer, the peach gazpacho, the lamb meatballs, and the carrot cake beignets, we found ourselves a fabulous meal. Everything was executed wonderfully and the chef clearly wasn't afraid to experiment. I think the most impressive thing I tried from the menu was their Nutella bread pudding with bacon ice cream - quite gutsy for a dessert (and it worked, too!).
(5)K W.
Just ate here and we may go back tomorrow! I was amazed to find a restaurant like this here. We ordered the house chips and the pork rinds to start. My kids loved them all. The bread was pretty yummy too. Dinner: - the mussels (my 11 year old) he loved the sauce and the fries that came with. He never shared so I never tried them. He ate every bit and cleaned the sauce with his bread. -Kids pasta and side salad: (my 3 year old) I do not know how any kid could go way hungry with the huge portion size of this. Needless to say she did not finish. It was adult sized. -Kids chicken fingers and mashed potatoes (my 9 year old) he is a very light eater so he tends to order from the kids menu. The potatoes we so good (he shared) He couldn't finish this meal but he ate all the pork rinds so maybe that's why. -Truffled perougies (sp?) my husband loved these. They were very rich. He shared too. The truffle taste was perfect. -Pork belly and grits: (me!) insanely good and I thought the price was outstanding. At home (San Diego) this would cost double. It was cooked perfectly and the accompanying sauce was flavorful. I licked my plate with my fingers a little. -Dessert: flour less chocolate cake with strawberry gelato. Good. Especially the gelato. Kids had ice cream off the kids menu and it was great, no odd tastes at all. Service was nice, happy, and friendly and when my 3 year old broke her glass on the floor they were very sweet and funny about it. Loved that. All in all I loved this place. The price was amazing compared to larger cities and that pork belly is almost worth a drive back from Southern California. We have one more night in town, we may be back.
(5)Erica A.
Some of the most excellent food I've ever had. My 8 year old son loved the Kale Salad.
(5)Sam C.
Got off the train in Glenwood Springs and had some time to kill. Checked my phone for a place to eat and saw this as the top rated yelp place. Came in and noticed it wasn't the usually place you'd find in a small mountain town. It looked more like a place that you'd find in a trendy part of LA. i ordered the grilled cheese with short rib meat and my GF got the gnocchi Salad. Both things were just amazing. We also ordered the lemonade which tasted fresh and yummy. Service was great food was great. Cant wait to go again.
(5)Lucky M.
My friend and I showed up 10 minutes before closing on thursday evening. They made sure the kitchen was still open and serving, seated us, took great care of us. They are very knowledgable about beer, and recommended an excellent local brew. Really great service!
(5)Seth F.
My wife and I visited Pullman for lunch and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is hip and the staff friendly and knowledgable. As for the food...we really liked it! Very fresh, tasty, and innovative. Do your tastebuds a favor and give this place a try if you're in the area.
(5)Tom M.
This was our first time at the this restaurant and it was awesome. A food lover's restaurant. Not run-of-the-mill fare. We went on a Thurs. night (6:15) and did not have a wait. There were many choices, as well as, sizes of dishes (though we did not view the kids' menu) for different appetite levels. We started w/appetizers of Marinated Olives (they have the pits-be careful) and the Peanut Kimchi (kind of like an Asian cole slaw.) The Kimchi was a nice, light appetizer, and a little spicy. Our entrees were the Roasted Chicken and Crisp Pork Belly. WOW!! Savory Flavors Galore! Both were delicious. The Pork Belly is from the Small Plate selection so I paired it with the Mac-n-Cheese. The chicken is from the Large Plate selection and was set on top of a medley of asparagus, baby potatoes (or new potatoes) and bacon (maybe a quarter of a chicken.) Dessert: I believe there were 5 or 6 items to choose from. We could not decide on one so we picked the Nutella Bread Pudding w/ bacon caramel toffee, blueberry preserves and rum caramel and the Salted Chocolate Pie w/peanut butter crunch crust & peanut butter anglaise. Both were delicious but the Nutella one was my favorite. The presentation of the meals also added to the experience too. The Pork and Chocolate Pie dishes were served on slate slabs. The couple at the table next to us couldn't take their eyes off of our desserts and asked what we ordered. They proceded to tell us that The Pullman was mentioned in Esquire Magazine as one of the Top Restaurants in the U.S. For 2011. They also said that the Chef-Owner's other restaurants in Carbondale, CO (just down the road...towards Aspen) called Six89 and Phat Thai were very good too. This is our new favorite place in Glenwood Springs.
(5)Christian D.
Stopped in for NYE dinner 2012. What a great choice!!! ** Cocktails - A fine selection and something for everyone. My favorite was their version of the Moscow mule. Delicious! My GF had a great whisky drink that came with one HUGE ice cube. Liked that little touch. ** Dinner - We started with a 1/2 dozen oysters which had a champagne foam. From there we moved to share the gnocchi salad. A MUST every time you go here. Flavors were just popping. After we cleaned that plate dry, we shared the pork belly. A little small but still flavorful. And we ended our meal with the black mussels. Make sure you order an extra bread basket cause you will want to soak up all that great sauce. Glenwood Springs is a small little spot but this restaurant is a hidden gem in Colorado. If you are hitting the hot springs, make sure you stop in.
(5)Likheng N.
Overall, we had a great dining experience. Prices are affordable for the Aspen area. We had the bone marrow, pork belly, duck breast, and fried artichokes. The onion jam that accompanied the bone marrow was a little too sweet and overpowering for my taste. Everything else was delicious. Would definitely get the pork belly and duck breast again. Fried artichoke was good, but nothing special. We've also been to Harmon's in Denver, and I think The Pullman had better food.
(4)Green S.
Food was unexpectedly outstanding. Great little trendy spot in Glenwood. Any place with a bronze pig statue has to be good.
(5)Shanna K.
This restaurant was one of the main highlights of our mini honeymoon that we took in Glenwood. First of all, the place is adorable. Think warehouse/loft like area with quite a bit more class. Add to that the fact that they support local farmers and sustainable practices, and we were hooked. Our amazing wait person Raquel was incredibly friendly and adept, and made our experience even more fabulous. We started with the Sweet Potato soup with curry foam. AMAZING. It was delicious, and combined with the house made bread? To die for! Following that, we shared the Gnocchi salad. Yes, that is correct; gnocchi IN a salad. This dish was likely the best single dish I have eaten all year, and that's saying a lot, since I eat a lot. I smelled the truffle oil and mushrooms as it left the kitchen, and every bite was literally heavenly. Make sure you get this; otherwise, your life will never be complete. Raquel then let us know that since everything was literally made to order, the chef was squishing the tomatoes four our eggplant cannelloni, and it would right out. Stuffed with mushroom risotto, it was delicious, although our least favorite of the 4 courses. Still very tasty and perfect for a nice, light lunch. We finished with the pumpkin cheese cake with pumpkin seed crust. Not exactly what we expected for cheese cake, but beyond amazing taste sensations and textures. I would drive the 3 hours from Denver for the gnocchi salad alone; not to mention the rest of the delicious foods. Highly recommended!
(5)Kristi R.
Too bad I can't give this a zero. Avoid this place - how pretentiousness has entered our town is beyond my understanding but it has. Couple the horrendous service with below average food and weak drinks and you have a total loser of an establishment. Just say no to this place!!! We were greeted by a host (male, wearing a hat) who was incredibly rude. We arrived at 8:10pm for our 8:30pm reservation, and were curtly informed a table wasn't available - which was fine with us, we had planned on sitting at the bar for a cocktail anyway. However when the host sat a walk in, with no reservation, we inquired as to why, and we were told to "stay out of his space." I'm not even kidding. A huge bummer for Glenwood Springs. I will never return.
(1)Phillip P.
If you are in the area you must go to this place. Everything I tried was delicious: duck nuggets, freshly fried pork rinds, carmelized pork belly, gnocchi salad, Reuben sandwich. Mmmm. And don't forget dessert. I love this spot. I wish I had one in my hometown.
(5)Athena H.
We were in Glenwood for a week. We ate at the Pullman 4 times. It is that good. We are foodies and were like addicts instantly. The ability to order several small dishes makes for such and incredible epicurean experience! And the desserts...we ordered seconds took home to our kids because they were so good. And..we typically don't let them have a lot of sugar!
(5)William S.
Burger, salad awesome. Atmosphere loud but festive, a bit pricey. We'd go back for sure. However as the day wore on I realized that I got sick from the food. All I had was a burger and salad. So if you choose to eat here be sure your stomach can tolerate the food.
(4)Heather S.
Came here after reading high reviews about this place. Traveling and thought we needed something different than fast food. Everyone has different taste and this place didn't satisfy mine or my family. All looked good and expected something more for the price. I got the BBQ sandwich. Didn't like the flavor. Though it was good to try a different taste of BBQ. Coleslaw was different than your usual. A lot of vinegar! But good. Homemade chips sucked. Not sure if they were suppose to be brown and taste burnt. Didn't feel like complaining to waiter since it took almost 15 to 20 minutes to get our food. Husband got the lamb sandwich. Not great. His stomach hurt after eating it. But again something different to try. Got two kids meals that was not worth 9.00. Kids liked it guess all that counts. As with other reviewer I agree on the kid signs everywhere. They should have a sign for adults to keep there shoes on. Lady next to me had her shoes off and sitting Indian style so all I saw while I ate was her toes and bottom of her dirty feet. I am all for comfort but come on. The cap for the water bottle was so dirty. Needs to be cleaned! But the water was good but grossed out knowing how dirty the cap was. Waiter gave us no ice for water. Again should have asked but waiter didn't return until the long waited food arrived!! There was four tables outside we really wanted to sit at. Ask the hostess and said non avail outside. Not sure if they were held or needed cleaned but as we sat inside she sat people outside. One person to a table of four. Boo on that !! Overall this is my nic picking and I did like the style and atmosphere. But won't pick this place again if traveling through this town again. Too pricey and over rated.
(3)John M.
Was not sure there was a "good" restaurant in Glenwood. Happy to come upon this exceptional place. Sourced local ingredients and great breadth in the menu. Additionally, the interior is beautiful and well thought out with the bar centrally positioned. Can't wait to go back!
(5)Kelly J.
Absolutely wonderful. The staff was great, the manager came over several times just to check on us even though they were very busy. The food was excellent, especially for the prices. The atmosphere was laid back but elegant. Overall great restaurant I would recommend to everyone!
(5)J C.
Flavor combinations were perfect. Traveling all over the US and dining at high quality restaurants, this was a top 5 meal of all time. Everything thing from Nitro Stout to truffle oil pork rinds, pork belly kimchee, flat iron steak, apple fritters with gingerbread ice cream, to Irish coffee, flavor combinations were spot on. Menu is changed up with different items. We didn't make reservations and there was a :25-:30 wait. They will take your name and phone number and call you when a table is available. We had a beer at the Glenwood brewing company and didn't even get half way through before they called HOLDING the table till we got there. That's service!! Axel was a phenomenal server on a very busy night. I would visit Glenwood Springs just to eat at this restaurant!!!
(5)Randy D.
So good. Stayed one night in Glenwood ate lunch and dinner here. You won't be disappointed. Maybe the best Manhattan I've ever had. Rice pudding empanadas were amazing. Wanted to lick the plate.
(5)Mary C.
Attention to detail was outstanding. Staff helpful. Luke was our server and made great suggestions. Chef was outstanding. Menu creative and our food delicious. I had to know where Chef trained, not surprised to learn he was a CIA graduate. Prices were far less than would pay for equivalent yumminess in denver. Try it, reservations suggested.
(5)Katie N.
Love the Pullman! I will say what varies the most is their wait staff. Not everyone is friendly and down to earth. I will say in the past 9 months their staff has been top notch. I wish I could remember our last server's name who was so pleasant and attentive that when I see him again I will definitely ask to sit in his section. The Pullman can have an intimidating menu but the right server with the right attitude will put you to ease immediately. I've never had a bad meal here from the truffle pork rinds to the salads, pierogies, gnocchi, poutine or large plate options. My husband and I love their seasonal specials too. It's our favorite place for a date in our hometown.
(5)Randy H.
Fantastic food. Wonderful service. Comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommended! If you are traveling to or through Glenwood Springs, the Pullman is a 'must'. Regardless if you visit for lunch or dinner, you will not be disappointed.
(5)Amy M.
This restaurant was amazing. There were 4 in our party, we did not have a reservation but they were able to get us in with no wait. The food was some of the best I have ever had. We had the Pork, Steak, and Pierogis. It was amazing, the chef did a great job with the recipes and the team did a great job preparing them. Bread Pudding topped of the meal. We will be back.
(5)Paul C.
This place is too expensive for what you get. We came here based on the reviews while on vacation. The kids meals were $8 and everyone of my kids left hungry the portions were so small... We felt like we were in a French restaurant where the portions are expected to be small. This place billed it's self as "American", but I can honestly say it was more eclectic. $9 small portion mac and cheese and some really weird dishes and flavors. It is almost like the chef is trying too hard to be different.
(2)Mimi A.
The Pullman in Glenwood Springs, CO absolutely NEVER disappoints! I have been several times, and each time I've gone I have tried something I've never had. The last time it was goat tostadas. The service is excellent; the food is beyond wonderful. Definitely worth the money.
(5)Dwight C.
Went here with my son, daughter and her boyfriend while driving from San Diego to Minneapolis. What a pleasant surprise to treated to a excellent meal. We tried a variety of appetizers and were not disappointed at all.
(5)Chris M.
I easily just had one of the top 10 best meals I have ever eaten. The Pullman in Glenwood Springs is a place you must experience. Not only is Glenwood Springs a beautiful town, the addition of The Pullman to restaurant row makes this a must visit town. The Pullman has only been open 11 days or so, and has already made it's mark on the community. For an appetizer I had the fries, soft egg, truffle and reggiano. Separately all the ingredients are great, but once I took a bite of it all together it's was like a party in my mouth and everyone was invited. I had the Kale and Parmesan salad with pinenuts and currants. It was fresh and crisp and the champagne vinaigrette was the perfect dressing. For a main dish I had the risotto with farro, heirloom squash and chickpeas, yogurt and coriander. Needless to say it was gone in minutes. I also got dessert which I don't normally do. I had the Butterscotch Burdino and all I can say is if I could cheat on my wife with a dessert, it would be with this. So my big beef with restaurants is that they will throw some dishes on the menu for vegetarians because they don't want to get bitched at. The Pullman really thought out the vegetarian options and I don't' know if I have ever had any better. I hope I get a chance to get back to Glenwood Springs very soon.
(5)Shenna J.
A trendy & cool place for dinner or lunch. The only problem I have is their food isn't always "hot"...I've sent dishes back because they are cold. If they could fix this problem I would eat here more often over Juicy Lucy's (next door) but so far JL's is the winner. The servers are super friendly, they have local beers on tap and I recommend making reservations.
(3)Otis M.
Every time I've been, the staff has been fantastic and the food exquisite. The seafood and steaks are top notch, and the soups are remarkable. A must when in Glenwood!
(5)Charley C.
Wow a fifteen was what Anet said. We could bring our fussiest restaurant critic to The Pullman and they would be overjoyed with the Menu, the service and the food. We were just stopping for lunch and as usual yelp led us to The Pullman. I started out with some marinated olives (excellent) followed by a BLT, currently rated as The Best BLT ever. The Salad with a simple grilled chicken on top was a GREAT salad with all the right greens that would make us a real regular if we only lived or visited Glenwood Springs more often. Oh Well! If I was driving down I70 and it was anywhere near lunch or dinner, this is where I would want to be! Incredible
(5)Mimi H.
Best food ever in Glenwood Springs!!! I had the grass fed burger with caramelized onions and cheese. Yummy! The best was the dessert - Gingerbread ice cream with Apple pie ravioli top with salted caramel and green apple slices. If you are in Glenwood Springs for the hot springs, make sure to stop at the Pullman restaurant for a meal. You will not be disappointed!!!
(5)Andee H.
Great food. Super nice staff and kid friendly! Yay! I had the fried chicken and it was dirty good. Merle had the goat something or other. He liked it, but he felt as if it wasn't a lot of food. I say that's what you get for eating goat! What I liked best is how they have a great kids menu that includes desert and they brought her food out first. Anyone that has a kid can appreciate that!
(4)whitney m.
Such a great space with great food. Went for a girls weekend in glenwood and dined at the Pullman the first night. The place was hoppin but service was friendly from the front door to the table. Our waiter was so friendly and took time to chat and explain the menu. Had the poutine- don't miss this dish, very nice red wine gravy. The crispy crab cake was so light and the watermelon really complemented the dish. On to main course- highly recommend the pork belly also had the steak and a veggie stew which were great. Nice emphasis on the Veg not just an afterthought. Didn't have room for dessert because portions were ample but enjoyed the Ginny cucumber. Talked about the poutine many times and of course our cute waiter ;) ahh girls weekends!
(5)Andy M.
It was nice to find this place in Glenwood Springs. We were staying in Aspen and visiting the hot springs for the day, and popped in for lunch. It was better than the places we ate at in Aspen during the same trip. Not exactly their fault, but everything I ordered was very heavy. Lots of butter and oil. My wife really liked her salad. It was kid friendly and the waiters were very nice to our two kids (1 and almost 5). I'd return again - there were a lot of interesting things on the menu.
(4)Chris D.
We hit the Pullman during the week after reading great reviews and hearing from some friends that it was great. It did not disappoint. I had a very good cocktail--7th street--it was gin, grapefruit, thyme simple syrup--damn good. Good house red wine, but the real treats were the food. Had an absolutely wonderful acorn squash soup served with marshmallows-- it had some heat from black pepper, but the sweetness of the marshmallow cut it nicely. Steak salad was really good as well and the kicker was the apple ravioli with gingerbread ice cream(house made)--killed it! If you are thinking about trying it--just do it. In fact we are going back tomorrow. Service was very good as well as is the ambience.
(5)Mike B.
The kimchee tacos reminded me of the famous Koje Taco in LA! I had the hangar steak and it was terrific. Wife had the Cobb sandwich and thought it was good but not great but this is my review! Our daughter gave the Mac N Cheese a big 5 out of 5. Great Place
(5)Diane Y.
At the time of writing, there were 74 other reviews of The Pullman and ZERO with only 1 or 2 stars. I have never seen this on Yelp. Even the critics can't be too negative about the food. My party had - the gnocchi salad: mixed greens with pan seared gnocchi, asparagus and shiitake mushrooms. The gnocchi were so parmesan-y! I loved it and could have eaten 3 plates myself. - the macaroni and cheese: mild and simple, I thought it could've used a nice burnt crust of cheese from some oven time, but my boyfriend -- connesseur of mac and cheese -- loved it. - mussels: yes. Just yes. Order them if you like moules frites at all. Maybe save some of that hot sourdough bread and dip it in the broth. It came with spicy sausage bits and cheese/herb drizzled fries. SO MANY MUSSELS! I will dream of swimming in them. - apple cobbler with sage ice cream. I wanted it because it sounded strange. Sage? Isn't that for rubbing on game? In the end, it tasted mostly like vanilla ice cream with a hint of Thanksgiving memories. It was just that subtle. Enjoy the view of the mountains and gondola. The quiet street seems almost European. Best restaurant in Glenwood Springs.
(5)Allison S.
We had gone to another restaurant around the corner that had a huge wait and we were hungry hungry hungry!! The reviews on this spot were pretty good so we decided to stop in. My friends thought the prices were a bit high, but I don't mind paying a bit more for good food. The decor was amazing. I am a designer and looking at all the little embellishments that most people miss was interesting and fun. The food was great! I had the porcini rabbit, gnocchi salad, and the peach cobbler. Amazing!! Perfect portions and decent prices!!
(4)Candy R.
this place was fabulous! the menu is very imaginative & exciting--nettle fettucini?! wow! great vegetarian selection, very reasonable prices, excellent service & atmosphere & the food was superb.
(5)D. W.
Was so psyched to find this place thanks to Yelp! My party and I were traveling through Glenwood Springs for the night and staying at Hotel Colorado which was conveniently located right across the bridge from this restaurant, within an easy walking distance. We were graciously seated at 9:35 without any attitude or flippancy which was a great sign to start out with and something that I wish most eateries would enact. After waiting for a little too long for our server to come over and greet us, when he arrived he immediately apologized for the delay and took our order for both our food and drinks. We wanted to be polite to the kitchen and go ahead and get our food order in as soon as possible. There was some Colorado craft beer choices on the draft list including some obscure selections from Great Divide and Odell's. We got house truffled parmesan fries, the braised chicken | green onion cavatelli pasta and a local beet arugula salad. All the dishes featured local produce and local meat which elevated the food to tasting fresh and delicious. The beet salad was perfect as well as the braised chicken pasta. They were perfectly balanced and the portions were spot on. What a lovely addition to the Glenwood Springs dining scene. The Owner also has some Thai restaurants called 'Phat Thai' in Carbondale and Cherry Creek which I am now moved to try.
(5)Mooto T.
We had seven plates here across two hours. The service was outstanding, Rick Dufon/MGR was at the table four times ensuring service and food were tracking. He came from Portland's Restaurant/bar out of PHX - they must miss him down there. Aggressively priced wine list - everything is at/under $40 bottle. Ask for the off-list options though too Cocktails to start for the wifie and me, a bottle, and digestifs with the nutella bread pudding and bacon ice cream to finish off the night - tab = $200 unbelievable and best of all - incredible evening.
(5)Uriel A.
This is the best place in Glenwood Springs. You have to go here if your going to eat in this town. I don't eat pork or beef (unless it is from one of my cows, you really should know your beef) and I still had a great meal.
(5)Chris L.
We were passing through Glenwood Springs & read the reviews of best food in town so decided to stop at the Pullman. Even on an off season Tuesday night, the place was full with great atmosphere. We were seated quickly & staff was very friendly. Food was excellent, and would especially recommend the pork tostada app. Menu was interesting & unique. Prices were reasonable. Only critique was guacamole seemed a little tired but it was late and we had been dining in southern California the week before. Overall would definitely recommend.
(4)Torie J.
We ate here based on other reviews from Yelp and were pleasantly surprised by the creative menu and the quality of the food. We ate a late dinner, around 9 pm on a Friday night, and while they were wrapping up service we didn't feel like we were hurried or should cut our meal short. Some of the food was just 'ok:' the oysters (but I just moved from the Pacific NW, so I'm spoiled) and the sweetbread (but the hubby really liked it). The kimchee was mellow and should be more fermented, but the peanuts was a fun creative surprise. Short rib tacos were quite good. BEST = truffled pierogies. Ahhhhmazing! Desert was also delicious-- carrot cake beignets! I would highly recommend this place for a real dining treat. The rest of the menu looked great as well.
(4)Judi M.
I got drawn in by the Yelp 4.5 star overall rating. I read the more negative reviews and just didn't want to believe them. But they were right and I was wrong. I booked the Pullman for my husband's 66th birthday lunch. It was a pleasant time but not what either of us were hoping, especially after just experiencing lunch at The Goat in Carbondale and Frying Pan Kitchen in Basalt. The Pullman rated a distant third. We had the crispy crab cake appetizer to share. It was pretty good -moist and flavorful even though the deep fried color had me wary. We thought we were off to a good start. That was until my husband asked me to taste his iced tea. Blech - it tasted like coffee. Our attentive, competent server acknowledged that they brewed their tea through the coffee machine. Whaaaat? She generously offered a fresh glass but the coffee taste was even stronger. He switched to water. My husband had the pastrami sandwich special. It was okay but nothing more than that - just pastrami on ciabatta bread, definitely not piled high as described. The slaw was nothing but green cabbage with a little bottled dressing. My quinoa salad was tasty but nothing super and pretty small given the $10 price that did not include any unusual ingredients. The mac and cheese that my husband got as a side was decent but it is definitely NOT a pasta entree as intimated on the menu. We thought dessert might save the day and since it was his birthday, we decided to try the cinnamon bun bread pudding. The expresso ice cream was delicious but the bread pudding was so salty (an extreme over-reach on salted carmel, we presume) that all we could do was shake our heads and wish we'd dined at The Goat. To her credit, our server was both delightful and professional. She comp'd us for the iced tea (coffee) and gave us dessert on the house, which was generous and ended our experience on an uptick. But not enough so to return. Ever.

Good food, eccentric menu...but not blow-your-socks-off food. Per other Yelp reviews, I tried the gnocchi salad, short rib tacos, and finished with the strawberry rhubarb pie with basil ice cream. Best dish: Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. They make the Sweet Basil Ice Cream in house and it is Awesome! Interesting combination but perfect! The tartness of the pie is balanced by the sweet ice cream. However, for the other 2 dishes...not impressed. One suggestion to the restaurant....both dishes were a bit too salty. As for ambiance, it's loud...and more of a brewery atmosphere. But I bet I'll be back to try more.

I have to stop at this place every time I drive by Glenwood. springs. I consider it a treat that can't be missed. The food is delicious, high end and creative without all the pretentious fuss. go there just because or for a special occasion. Contrary to the belief that it's popular because it's the only restaurant attempting to do New American food is a falsity. It is popular simply because the food is good. We recently went with a group of seven for dinner and we couldn't decide who had the best dish because they were all delicious. The service is also great. Make reservations if you can because it gets really busy. I love it so much I wanted to eat all my meals here during my brief stay in glenwood springs. I highly recommend this place.

Wow, what a treat to eat here. Innovative menu-nothing disappoints here!

Ordered the night's special beef short rib dish that was the special that night that brought down an otherwise five star rating. The mac and cheese and arugula salad were fantastic! The fish was cooked well. However, the short rib was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too salty. The first bite was ok, but the saltiness just built and built on itself. The service was fine (if a bit slow at first) and attentive. Next time I'll try the roast chicken - the server said that everyone in the kitchen said it was their favorite dish.
(4)Floyd R.
This place is hoppin'! By far, the best restaurant in Glenwood, and one of the best restaurants in Colorado. Superb service and amazing food. Same chef as the famous 689 in Carbondale. Interesting crowd that is a combination of Glenwood locals, Aspen beautiful people and western slope rednecks.
(5)Drew T.
Nice place for a sandwich and a beer or cocktail. Nice wait staff and well stocked bar. A little noisy for us but looks like a fun place. Food was excellent however the cole slaw was dripping with sauce....ran all over the plate. Have them serve it in a side dish as it made the sandwich I had soggy. Overall a really nice place for relaxing and making friends.
(4)Jen H.
Food was perfect. A pleasant spin off the classic reuben with the most tendee and juicy corned beef that has ever come my way. The 10 out of 5 belongs to the special that day. A braised pork sandwich with pineapple and bell pepper. Succulent, juicy meat. Everything on that sandwich was perfection. The fries were okay, salad was plain, but a nice mixed green with a vinaigrette.The cocktails were fun. We had an orange creamsicle, which wasnt too sweet. Aperfect creamy blend. You knew it was a cocktail, but also a push pop! My bf had a moscow mule, which had a light, slightly crisp taste. It wasnt memorable, but refreshing. Ambience was great. Server was perfect!!!
(5)Allison M.
Good stuff. We beelined straight for the bar one very hot Saturday afternoon, after biking through Glenwood Canyon in 96-degree weather. All we wanted was ice cold beer and a bit of fresh food to tide us over till dinner. Ordered the kale parmesean salad, which was delish - the pine nuts balanced out the flavor perfectly. Also split the gruyere mac between us since we needed a bit more sustenance. Equally satisfying. And THEN. We decided to take the plunge and order a slice of salted chocolate pie. Oh. Snap. It was a small slice, elegantly presented, and absurdly delicious. I've been burned by "salted" desserts before that pretty much ended up tasting like the ocean, but this was everything I wanted it to be and more. Bottom line: we left The Pullman feeling feeling MIGHTY FINE, which is really the best recommendation I can give.
(4)Wayne W.
Great food. We had the Duck, It was bursting with flavor and the service was good too.
(5)Sybil J.
After reading the reviews (and seeing the Nutella bread pudding with bacon ice cream on the menu...yes, it's really true), it became our destination for dinner while traveling through. We toted our five month along and placed our order of cheese curds, hangar steak with amazing smashed potatoes, and Nutella bread pudding with bacon ice cream to go. It was the best meal in a box that I've ever had! I would've loved to enjoy the amazing meal in the swanky restaurant, but decided with the baby that we would let other enjoy their meal too. Hands down recommendation on this one!
(5)M R.
This place is crazy good. I wish I could have taken it with me when I left. We were a party of 6 and had made reservations. My folks are on the older side and it's a happening place, so they were having a hard time hearing when we walked in. The staff was super nice about getting us a table that was smaller and relatively quiet = super bonus points. The drinks we got were AMAZING. I love bourbon and they had a number of great drinks for me to try, each one better than the last. Finally the food. I really liked my steak and the salads were very inventive.
(5)Melissa H.
A MUST GO! Exceeded expectations. As a recommendation pit stop on a roadtrip home, we were looking for a quick bite. We ordered the Mac n Cheese, Duck Nuggets, Pullman's Grassfed Burger (burger with egg, caramelized onions, and a fluffy bun), and pierogis Togo. We ate every last bite down to the parmesan that topped the french fries. The Mac n Cheese is the best ever with full flavors of cheese and breaded topping and we added bacon. The pierogis were moist with a truffle potato filling. The sauce served with the duck nuggets complemented the salty with a tart very well. The burger was tender and full of fresh flavor. The egg complemented so well no additional condiments were necessary. On top of the great food the service was outstanding. Initially we were given a 20-30 minute wait but got seated within 5 minutes. Our server Tiffany presented the additions (specials) so well that we had to applaud her. She made sure we enjoyed our meal to the fullest as with the other customers around us. We will be back very soon!
(5)Bruce F.
I was soo excited the eggplant cannelloni is still on the menu!!! We ordered this entree as our appetizer and it was as good as I remembered. Next we shared a beet salad. Nothing new, but perfect nevertheless. My entree was three expertly cooked fresh scallops on top of an amazing orzo risotto. The food is really good, the service is great and the ambiance is just right.
(4)Cliff T.
Wow! We didn't expect to find any decent restaurants in Glenwood Springs. Luckily Yelp exists. This place was awesome! We actually couldn't stop ordering more things off the menu, even tho we had a 4 hour drive to Denver ahead of us. The handmade gnocchi, asparagus, wild mushrooms salad with oregano vin & parmesan was amazing. Gnocchi in a salad was appreciated by all. The truffle potato pierogis with caramelized onions & scallion crème fraiche was like nothing else I've ever had. Everyone at the table enjoyed this one as well. The mac & cheese is another one I'd recommend. So many other great sounding meals (especially after experiencing some of the menu) that I know I would drive from Denver just to go eat here. Seasonal and local ingredients is a plus. Save room for desert. That menu is just as impressive as the dinner menu.
(5)Laura P.
I don't think I can speak highly enough about this place. The food is amazing with a capital A. Not only does it taste incredible but they use locally grown and sourced ingredients. It all tasted heavenly and the service (waiter John) was awesome. Highly recommend the nutella bread pudding with bacon toffee. Hmmmmm They also had some yummy cocktails. You can't go wrong here!
(5)Brody G.
Unbelievable place. This is my new favorite in Glenwood. Amazing menu with amazingly unique and eclectic options. But eclectic can be a hazard if you can't pull it off...this place does it. We tried several of the small plates, soup, and mussels, and all were spectacular! And the desserts were a little piece of heaven. The food and wine alone would have been enough to earn this place 5 stars, but the service (THANK YOU BRITTANY) and atmosphere made this a perfect anniversary dining experience. Special occasion or no occasion...I suggest you make this place a priority on any trip to Glenwood Springs!
(5)D S.
Went to Glenwood looking for Cajun and that restaurant was no longer cooking, so they sent us to The Pullman. We WIN!! The service was fast and attentive, though the gentleman who seated us (2) did not smile, even when smiled at. He let us know that the kitchen would be shutting down soon and encouraged us to decide quickly... I had the peirogies and my date had the roasted chicken and both were extremely flavorful. The waiter brought us warm bread which was very welcome on a chilly fall night while we were having a late dinner. Good prices, great service and awesome, delicious food. We will be back.
(5)M V.
The food was delicious but the portions were too small. The service was great and we didn't have to wait to be seated even thou it was a busy evening. My husband and I decided we would go to the hot springs pool for an hour and get a second dinner after. I would go there again, but make sure to order enough food. The pricing was reasonable.
(3)Sam F.
I agree with every good thing that has been said about this place. The portion sizes were absolutely perfect. I enjoyed the housemade burrata with eggplant and crispy shallots, gnocchi salad (warm, perfectly browned gnocchi, sweet potato, and wild mushrooms hiding under a pile of greens with a tower of shaved Parmesan), and Irish stout chocolate cake (a surprising and delightfully deconstructed one). All were divine with an excellent balance of flavors. I was so impressed I went to their sister restaurant six89 (one of two others I believe) in Carbondale for dinner the same day. On Wednesdays the Carbondale restaurant has $20 3-course comfort food prixe-fixe meals. I was enjoying mused and the portions were reasonable enough that I thought I could enjoy a fourth (beet salad with dates and house-made feta) course and got a little too full. Wonderful establishments with stylish, comfortable accommodations and excellent execution. Gnocchi salad is available in both restaurants (the server at six89 told me Pullman stole it from them) and both are in beautiful parts of Colorado worth visiting. Glenwood Springs for the hot springs, Carbondale for hiking IMO. I can still taste the combination of truffle oil and Parmesan. I only regret I was unable to try more things at Pullman. I'll be posting pictures.
(5)dani b.
LOVE this place! Visiting from San Diego, we had a late lunch there on Sunday. Brian had the mussels, which he said were delicious and I had the kale salad and the mac 'n' cheese. The kale salad was divine (that might be a strange way to describe it, but I really like kale) as was the mac 'n' cheese. Oh yeah, we also had a round of 'Mitchelladas' and those were pretty good, too, although I was not crazy about the slight sweet-ness, which I am attributing to the ginger-infused gin. I asked if the lime juice was sweetened, and the server said 'no,' so it must've been the gin. I wish we had tried the salted chocolate dessert... How about opening a satellite in San Diego? :)

We went here for an early dinner with our one year old son. I was very pleasantly surprised. I thought it would be a bit pretentious but the staff and service were great. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere and ambiance were perfect.
(4)Chuck B.
Great food and beer all around. Make sure you make reservations.
(5)Kurt C.
At the end of my meal my waitress asked if I needed anything else, I said, "Bring me a tissue for I am shedding tears of joy." Strawberry rhubarb ravioli with basil ice cream was spectacular! Not to mention their scallop dish and calamari salad were phenomenal!
(5)Crist K.
Fantastic food, best lamb I have ever had. The steak was pretty darn good and the desserts were heavenly. Great service and very reasonable prices given the quality and ambiance of the place.
(5)Kim C.
Waiter was very courteous and not pushy at all. Food was okay, for the price it was pretty good. But after eating the Gnocchi at French Laundry in Yountville, CA, nothing else really compares. The gnocchi I got was slightly burnt, but the service and the lemonade was so good that it didn't matter as much. My dish: Butternut Squash, Mushroom, Gnocchi, + Greens Salad. I recommend coming here pre or post hot-springs bathing. :)
(4)Sara A.
My husband and I stopped here for an early dinner after spending the afternoon at the hot springs pool. We had a few glasses of wine, and then our meals. I ordered the grass-fed burger and it was excellent, probably the best burger I've ever had. Loved that it came on an English muffin. The cheddar + caramelized onions were the perfect topping, no need for any condiments. My husband had the pork shoulder + grits and couldn't stop talking about it. Only his 2nd time having grits, and he slurped them all up before I could even get a taste. We stayed in Vail, and the Pullman EASILY surpassed any of the restaurants we dined at in Vail. And the price! So much more reasonable! If you get the chance, please visit!
(5)Karen D.
Unique, delicious food in an upbeat atmosphere. The calamari in citrus aioli was excellent. My friend had the tortilla soup and said it was excellent as well. There were many items on the menu that were appealing, so it made choosing difficult. Presentation of the food was beautiful. I like it when my food looks good as well as tastes good. The service was superb. Make reservations, because this place gets packed very quickly.
(5)Elizabeth A.
Exquisite!
(5)Jeff R.
Amazing food. Had the Ham and Gruyere fritters to start. So tasty.. The saltiness cut well with the house preserves. Then I had the duck meatloaf and my date had the pullman burger. Both entrees were delicious. Our sever was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Recommend this place to anyone in the area and when I visit again will for sure eat here.
(5)Loni G.
Great service and an inventive, yet not too challenging menu. Lots to choose from,very reasonably priced for the quality (except the deviled eggs and oysters...) and really well prepared. Our waiter was really well versed in gluten-safe options and even the more obscure pitfalls of the menu. The only turn-off were the tvs in the dining room. We'll definitely go back!
(4)Greg L.
Recently, my girlfriend and I came to Glenwood Springs for a relaxing weekend. As we were pulling into town we saw The Pullman, which looked cool, but we wanted to check the menu to make sure the food looked as good as the atmosphere. Indeed it did! Needless to say, we gave it a shot. And boy was that a one of the best decisions we made on our trip! So how was the food? Well, I think the fact that we not only dined there that first night, but the second night of our trip as well answers that question. And the service was great too! As a relevant side note, it's worth noting that we were debating about dining in Aspen or Carbondale that second night, but The Pullman, with its delicious and healthy food, sucked us back in. Why drive far away when reasonably priced gourmet dining is so close to your hotel? Anyway, I'd highly recommend the following menu items: the roast bone marrow, deviled eggs, the squash soup (if they have it), the squash risotto, the brussels with bacon & spuds, and the grass-fed burger (with a lettuce bun of course). They also have a nice selection of Colorado craft beers, but unfortunately none of them are on tap (the one and only drawback to The Pullman I noticed).
(5)Alexander P.
The best meal in Glenwood Springs without a doubt, and likely the best meal you'll get in the valley in terms of value for price. I have a few friends who work at the Pullman and for many months they and our assorted other Pullman-loving friends would talk my ear off about how great it was. I'd gone twice and both times was unimpressed. That was until I had the strawberry rhubarb raviolis at a dinner with my girlfriend's family. It was, I must admit, the beginning of a realization, or, a discovery if you will. I returned the next week with my family and we tried bascially everything on the menu. The kale parmesan salad with pinenuts and currants - fresh, light, and summery. The mac and cheese - creamy and flavorful. The duck meatballs over black pepper cavatelli - a tad runny but decadent and satisfying. The steel head trout practically dissolves in your mouth. My girlfriend's been back at least 8000 times and orders the Pierogis every time she does. I tend to avoid dishes flavored primarily with onions but even I was swayed by them. But the hands down stars of the show are the desserts. Changing to fit every season, the 2013 summer selection includes a strawberry rhubarb ravioli served with a basil ice cream. The marscapone tart, the flourless chocolate are both great. But the raviolis....wow. The basil ice cream is made in house. I've never seen it anywhere else, but I wish I had. Much of the food is on par with your average prix-fixe French mecca in New York. The portions - while not massive - are fair. Prices are more than reasonable in comparison with the cost. *If there was one thing I had that I must admit I wasn't particularly thrilled with, I'd have to cite the nori roll. It was simply too salty. I know that's par for the course with salmon pastrami but it was overwhelming and left the dish underwhelming.
(5)Paul Z.
One of the best restaurants in the state. Really enjoy the overall experience: great cocktail menu, snacks, small plates and the entrees all are awesome. The chef uses fresh, in season and local ingredients in a very creative manner. The salads are super fresh and dressed lightly. All the mains are well thought out and I would like to try each of them. Save room for desert. The dinning room is open and pleasant and the service is caring. I hope they keep the standards as high as they do in their Carbondale place!
(5)Bike Chaplain O.
The five of us sat at The Pullman for brunch yesterday. I had the lamb meatballs and gnocchi the others had more traditional breakfast fare. We all loved the food and service. The food was perfectly cooked and the service was attentive. Very enjoyable. Thanks for reading, The Bike Chaplain
(4)Jeremy T.
4.5 Stars. Highly recommend this place if you are ever in Glenwood Springs. Awesome service and very tasty food. The staff was extremely attentive. I had the special which was the pork chop and it was cooked to perfection. My lady had the grass fed burger and it was cooked perfectly (to her request of course). We both had small salads and the 'chips' to start. Next time I'm in Glenwood, I'll go back.
(4)Sharif A.
Atmosphere: Trendy modern. Quite loud (brick and concrete floors). The bar helps break things up a bit. Menu: Fairly typical of modern American. Lots of fun twists on classic fare. Preparation: Our meals (rabbit - special, colorado bass, mac 'n cheese, and duck meatloaf) were excellent. Sides (esp. the creamed spinach) were very flavorful. Desserts (nutella bread pudding, carrot cake beignets and rhubarb crumble) were delicious. Service: The hostess managed to get us in on a very busy Sunday evening with only a 15 minute wait. Our waitress was attentive, personable and efficient. Food delivery was fast and well organized. Overall: A very nice find right along the waterfront in Glenwood Springs. Our teenage daughter loved it so much she wanted to go back the next evening. We'll be back!

Always ask your foodie friends for recommendations when you travel! -- great advice, and no less this time during a visit to Glenwood springs for the hot springs pool (which is also lovely). The Pullman is walking distance (easy walk) from the hot springs via the pedestrian bridge that parallels the pool and the interstate. Our family included two in their seventies and the walk/views were lovely. The restaurant is an almost spare, lovely open space with a great design that pays homage to the local Glenwood Springs history. But none of that is the reason for the 5 stars. The food is simply spectacular, nicely proportioned, perfectly flavored, and absolutely delicious--from a foodie family, that is high praise. Our meal was eclectic, as we are--the beef carpaccio, the crispy crab cake, then the pork belly, the bass, even a burger (my F-I-L from india, loves burgers!) Every bite was lovely--each dish was splendidly prepared. the crab cake was one of the best I've had--nearly all crab with a good balance of flavors. the pork belly was sublime (who likes the idea of a dish called 'belly'), but it was the favorite of the table second to the carpaccio. For those of you who like carpaccio, you'll know its difficult to make it well--this one was tops, with just the right mix of spice and arugula to entice your mouth. My daughter, tired from the springs pool all day, had the mac and cheese--a thing we would not usually do, as she doesn't know 'kraft' by sight. This one was excellent, subtle gruyere and not all sharp cheddar--we all were happy when she didn't finish it and added bites to our own plates. In short, when we travel to tourist places, we often pay too much for food that is worth too little--The Pullman was the opposite--great, beyond great food, non-intrusive but attentive service, a good wine list, a lovely location...we will go back.

Totally delicious, great service.
(5)Erica N.
we LOVED the pullman. i have worked for frank bonnano for years and am a self proclaimed denver foodie. i thought the restaurant looked like something that could be part of the frank bonnano/ jean phillipe failyau empire- and told our server so. (if osteria marco and park & co had a baby, it would be the pullman) bone marrow- AWESOME. veal sweetbreads- yes please, again and again. homemade burrata lacked a little seasoning but i could have eaten 10 pounds of the pistachio butter that accompanied. the spring pea soup was delightful. we shared seared sea scallops with orzo and curry braised lamb shank with mushroom risotto. both dishes were wonderful. the only thing we were upset about was leaving the boxed up orzo on the table when we left. REALLY affordable wine list and the 2009 tempranillo/ garnacha blend did NOT disappoint at $34 (i think) a bottle! thank you PULLMAN! we can't wait to try your sister, phat thai! xoxoxo
(5)Nubin T.
Excellent food and service :-)
(5)Donald M.
We liked this place so much we ate here three times during our three night stay in Glenwood Springs. I think this restaurant is our favorite of Mark Fischer's. On our first visit (lunch) we split the grass fed burger and short rib tacos. The burger was very good but the tacos were amazing. Our second visit was also for lunch. I had a lamb sandwich which was one of the day's specials. The better half had the cobb salad. We didn't share but both really liked our selections. The third visit was for dinner. There was a triathlon in Glenwood Springs that weekend so we had an hour wait but we knew that it would be worth the wait. We sort of shared the lamb meatballs with feta gnudi and the colorado lamb chops. Both were very good. I'd highly recommend this place if you're in the area.
(5)Sara R.
Excellent service, ambiance, prices, cocktails and food! I opted for the basil gimlet, which was complex yet simple. We had the soup of the day - a luscious beet with horseradish creme fraiche. My Fiance went for the Ruben and I had the mushroom squash gnocchi salad. Awesome! We were too full to get dessert, but they all sounded amazing. We will be back for more very soon.
(5)Brian L.
Fresh, fun food prepared with love. They have great twists on classic dishes. I was there for a CrossFit comp, so everyone in our group was a Glutard and our server totally got it. Diver Scallops are money. Drink menu was great and prices were shockingly low. Kudos to the Pullman. The highlight of Glenwood Springs.
(5)Trog D.
Wait staff is impeccable. Food is of the highest caliber in this quaint little town. If u want something other than a burger, this is the joint. Awesome cocktails with local organic liquors. Highly, highly recommended. Must check out if in town. Then check out Doc's around the corner for something a bit more local and historic. Love it!
(5)Alysse R.
We loved everything about this restaurant. If you are in Glenwood Springs this has to be on your list of places to go. The atmosphere is awesome and the staff is friendly without being overbearing. I ordered a simple grass fed beef burger and it blew me away. I never have very high standards for burgers but this is one I would absolutely order again. I only wish they had a location in Denver. The variety of price points on the menu makes this spot ideal.
(5)Sara E.
Had the roasted chicken with gnocchi and my partner had the hanger steak with potatoes and horseradish sauce. Both were divine. We just visited on a whim after checking out some yelp reviews in the area and this place was a definite winner. Some of the best food I've ever had. Ambience was nice and service was fantastic even though we came in thirty minutes before closing... Our food was fresh and our server was excellent. Highly recommend this place!!!!
(5)Scott and Katie B.
You had me at Crispy Pork Belly! Highlights: Scallops, Short Rib Tacos and Crispy Pork Belly Ate at the Bar, friendly wait staff all had great information on the menu and plenty of dinner ideas for me. Great Atmosphere, casual restaurant with awesome food. Awesome place, great food and friendly staff make this a must in Glenwood Springs. Can't wait to come back!
(5)Laura R.
We had dinner there last week. We had our two daughters, 5 and 3. There was a sign that said "We welcome your well-behaved children". Well, ours are. I saw the ratings say "not good for children". I disagree. If your kids are well behaved, the staff was attentive to them as well as us. They had crayons and kid menus, which is more than some restaurants. But the food was FANTASTIC! The squash agnolotti was pillowy and divine. The Scallops were uniquely dressed and wonderful, cooked to perfection. The waiter knew his beer as well as wine. The kids meals even came with ice cream or pudding for dessert. We WILL be back!
(5)Tanay N.
While in the midst of a round-the-US road trip, I stopped here based on the Yelp reviews. I ordered the wild mushroom wontons and gnudi with lamb meatballs. Both were amazing, especially the gnudi. A perfect stop on the way to Whistler or Denver!
(5)Andrew H.
If you live in Denver it is worth the drive to eat dinner up here. Get a little bit of everything and enjoy their cocktails as much as their food. Great for gluten free. Dinner better suits the food over lunch. I've had dreams about their rabbit hash.
(5)Joel S.
Killer food, great atmosphere, and a very interesting wine list! A great find in Glenwood springs!
(5)Crystal C.
Great food. Must try to the gnocchi salad.... I didn't think I would enjoy a salad so much. And very attentive waitress. She was super helpful in giving us suggestions on where to go and explore. Why 4 stars? To be honest, it is because relative to Sweet Basil in Vail and Duo in Denver metro, I didn't like everything... The soup of the day was a pear and fennel soup -- it just wasn't exactly what I wanted. My boyfriend had to the sloppy john... the P brand on the bun was cool but I didn't want to steal my boyfriend's sandwich even though he enjoyed a lot. Probably could have been 5 stars if I hadn't had Sweet Basil and Duo earlier in the week. But I will definitely come back!
(4)Marjorie S.
We stopped in Glenwood Springs for lunch. Originally I looked on Yelp and found the Grind. We went there but it was so busy there was no place to sit. So we walked a few blocks and came to the Pullman. Had a great beet soup and a refreshing salad. Service and atmosphere were good.
(4)Hannah M.
The Pullman was absolutely delicious! My friends and I stopped here for dinner during our short stay in Glenwood Springs. The food was delicious and the service was excellent! The manager stopped to check on us multiple times to make sure everything was up to our standards. I definitely recommend this place!
(5)Nick W.
Love the food but keep your receipt. My $13 bill with a $3 tip shows up as a $21 on my cc statement. Apparently the waitress thought she deserved an additional $5 and the 3 became an 8.
(4)Katy G.
I've reviewed this restaurant before with 4 & 5 stars. This visit was disappointing as we were not able to get in. This was a planned mid-season visit to Glenwood to enjoy some of my favorites without the crowds. First night in town (monday), I checked the hours which said they were open until 9:30 pm. We showed up at 8:25 and were told we could only get drinks, the kitchen was closed. I mentioned that their advertised hours are until 9:30 and the hostess was quite snotty and said when it was slow they close when they close! No apology for the inconvenience or our disappointment. The next night we didn't even try since it was after 8 when we were ready for dinner. Wednesday night we made a real effort to do an early dinner, arriving at the Pullman at 6:30pm. Unfortunately, there was a private party going on and the restaurant was only open for them. The bright side is that we ate at the wonderful, new, Chang, Thai restaurant, and didn't have to decide between The Pullman and Zheng. There is always a silver lining! I will probably try The Pullman again as I have had quite a few good and very good meals there, but I must say I was put off by the lack of professionalism displayed by the hostess.

This restaurant makes me want to move to Glenwood Springs! Not only are the staff amazing, but the food is a mouth watering flavor adventure. The hubby and I ate here every day we were in town on a recent long weekend trip. Having tried several of the small plates, salads, desserts, and cocktails, I can safely tell you there is no way to go wrong. Some highlights: - brussel sprouts with bacon and potatoes - house made burrata with pickled eggplant and shallots - espresso ice cream with Irish cream foam and dark chocolate biscotti - pork belly with celery root puree and green apple salad - cereal milk ruski...a white Russian with cereal milk...seriously amazing! You simply can't go wrong and if you aren't happy they will fix it. I saw a lady complain about her food and before she could think twice they had brought her something else. I really wanted to see if I could eat what she sent away as it looked divine but thought that might seem a little odd. The staff welcomes you in and is so incredibly friendly. We made a point of sitting at the bar regularly for the awesome conversations we had with people around us. Visit here if you dare as it's sure to make you crave it for months on end.

Max made very good food great by sharing his knowledge, experience and personality. The venue was a pleasant surprise reflecting the casual rustic area.

I went back to the Pullman and had a much better experience the second time. I ordered the scallops. They were DELICIOUS. The service was great and we were well cared for.
(4)Shawn S.
Must stop in GWS. Food was great. Menu is eclectic and delicious. Service was 5 stars. Our waiter (Aaron I believe) went above and beyond to explain the menu, make great recommendations. Highly recommend! We'll be back!
(5)Russ W.
2012 Esquire was right! Excellent non-complicated service, in a nice attractive well designed space. The food was excellent. Went for lunch and had the chicken sandwich and autumn cianfotta. Both where perfect to share for lunch. Fresh ingredients and well balanced. The next time we visit GWS we go for dinner. Looking forward to going back.
(5)Genevieve B.
When you visit a tourist town in summer, you expect to get suckered into spending a lot of dough for a meal you wouldn't dare spend money on back home. That's why we did a little research before coming to Glenwood and found the Pullman. Esquire wasn't lying when they named it one of America's Best New Restaurants. I don't have enough nice things to say about this place. First, the space itself is beautiful and spacious. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful but it's the food that says the most! I love restaurants that try! The Pullman tries and succeeds on every level. For apps we had the oysters flown in fresh from WA and the burrata cheese with pistachio butter. For our main we had the muscles and the rabbit. Both were heavenly. Most of the time you eat to get full but these meals made you slow down and actually enjoy every savory mouthful. I would drive the 4 hours from home just to eat at this place again. Prices were very reasonable - I wish we could get something this good back home!

5 STAR! Hands Down!!!! Glenwood Springs was a place that we drove through from Denver en route to Las Vegas. Wasn't sure where to eat for dinner and Yelp brought us here. Even the locals highly recommend this place... IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT US, it went above and beyond, exceeding any expectations we had. The service was excellent (David was our server), and the restaurant had a very nice ambiance to it. It's a perfect example of Great Fusion cuisine. What did we order? The raw oyster was off-the-chart good! Being in Vegas has blunted our taste buds, and this raw oyster was so good that my wife ate 5 of them. The Gnochi salad with mushroom was a surprise. We did not know what to order and went off what most people recommended on Yelp, and it was great. If you like warm salad, this is the one to go with. I'm not a big salad fan, and I absolutely loved it! Entree: We had hanger steak and pork shoulder. The hanger steak was phenomenal, but what I'd like to comment on is the pork shoulder. Again, went with what most yelpers recommended, and I'm not a pork fan. But I can tell, if you like pork, this is a great dish. I give it a 4-star, and that's only because I've never been into Pork dishes. I would've probably ordered seafood given how fresh their oysters are, but unfortunately, or fortunately, I really wanted to try something different. Desert: Save room for desert, you'll need it. The desert is full of surprises, mixing sweet with salty (bacon ice cream). I personally thought it was a good innovation, but probably won't try it again because it just taste "weird"- in a good way. I'd like to try something else next time! The only con: The menu is way to confusion - take your time, it's worth it! And would I come back if i travel through glenwood again? You bet!

The best restaurant in Glenwood. Great, original food, great atmosphere, kid friendly (but you can avoid them if you want), great drinks. Just stop reading the reviews and go there. Enjoy.
(4)Tom S.
Tried this out on our way thru from CA to home in eastern CO. Excellent service, creative food selections and cool place near the train depot. I had the roasted chicken which was juicy and tasty and we shared their Gruyere and white cheddar mac and cheese. Next time we are in GWS, I am back to try another intriguing menu item.

Currently, my favorite restaurant in the valley (Aspen, Basalt, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs). I've been there twice now...consistently very good both times. It's very affordable. Great spot.
(4)Steve M.
Great food. Breads made on premises by former French Laundry baker. Fun, light, open space reasonably priced. Great friendly knowledgable staff.

Wonderful unexpected gourmet food in a relaxed atmosphere. Loved the pork shoulder and appetizers.

I am a food snob--rarely do I find a restaurant that prepares food that I consider to be worth eating. Yet I loved my Scallops on Green Pea Risotto. I don't even like Risotto but this stuff I wanted to lick off the plate. And the scallops, which are SO hard to cook correctly, were lightly caramelized on one side and oh-so-tender on the other. I'm also a traditionalist when it comes to margaritas. No frothy fruity concoctions for me--all I want is real lime juice. I only ordered the Grapefruit and Habenero Margarita because my kids liked the sound of it. If only I could have one of these after work every day! But wait--it got better. My Carrot Cake beignets were fine, but the Basil Ice Cream that came with my neice's Rhubarb dessert was to DIE for. Everyone else in our party of 6 looked as satisfied as I felt after our meal. The bottom line? The service was friendly, the prices were reasonable and the food was beyond compare.

Happened to stop in Glenwood Springs because the sun went down as we were on a cross-country roadtrip. What luck! I don't think you can eat any better than this within 100 miles. The salads were good, if a bit salty. The main dishes were incredible, though. The Rocky Mountain trout was perfectly pan-fried: the skin was crispy, the flesh was tender, and it the whole-grain mustard sauce was tangy but not too strong. The shrimp and grits were truly inspired, with the addition of grilled tomatoes and tomato-bacon broth. The house red wine is a pinot noir from the Willamette Valley. They get it in a bag and it comes out of a tap. You order it in 100mL increments, and it comes to the table in an erlenmeyer flask. It's cheap and great! The minor complaints: no beer on tap, the shrimp were a bit overcooked, and it took a while to get our server's attention at first.
(4)Tommy D.
Oh my gosh...you have to try this place! Sat down and saw the menu prices and was shocked to see that all the entrees were under $20. But when you add up all the extras, it is not cheap...but great bang for the buck! This place was soooo good that we took some friends and ate there a second night. The menu changes weekly so Its hard to say will work for you, but in the course of the two nights, we had 4 different entrees and other plates all were exceptional. If you looking for "bulk" not maybe the place for you, but if you're looking for explosions on your taste buds, this is the place for you! Even the kids menu was awesome!
(5)Jon I.
One of the best meals I've had this year. Outstandingly inventive dishes, prompt and friendly service, a short but interesting wine list; I can't wait to come back again. The cauliflower bisque was incredible, the crispy apple/ginger ravioli with rum/butterscotch ice cream to die for. A real treasure.
(5)Judson R.
Really enjoyed our meal. Best meal we've had in Glenwood. The fries with gravy were awesome and the carpaccio was delicious. Would definitely go again.
(5)Mike W.
My wife and I went here for dinner after hitting a few other places for happy hour. I wish i had saved all the room for the pullman. Everything about it was top notch. We had a great server who made some awesome recommendations and was so pleasant that she even sat down with us to talk about the local hot springs. We had the pork belly tacos- Good but not great the thai mussels (which i was a little hesitant to order in Colorado) - excellent sauce and Spicy sausage. I would get these as an app next time because there were so many other delicious things to try. It was a memorable dinner in a forgettable town.
(5)Erin T.
This place blew me away. I simply wasn't expecting such an excellent restaurant in Glenwood Springs. The handmade gnocchi with mushrooms and squash along with arugula was one of the best small dishes I've tasted in ages. The gnocchi was perfectly seasoned, and firm not mushy. The mushrooms were the best available. I didn't see how the Sea Bass with pineapple salsa and rice could compete. But it did. It had a beautiful kick and the fish itself was seasoned so I didn't have to rely on dipping the fish into the salsa. The salted caramel pudding had seasoned salt in it--the real deal. It was very interesting. By 7:15 there were no tables and the bar was full on a Saturday night. I had a 5:30 reservation near the window to look at the river. I did not feel uncomfortable at all dining alone. And the prices would be double in Denver.

Years ago we couldn't find a stellar culinary experience in Glenwood, and now that has changed. The Pullman is the new star of Main Street. We were looking for a special place for a birthday dinner and the Pullman did not disappoint. We were greeted by super perky and friendly host who watered and seated us quickly. When we asked to move outside she quickly obliged us without drama. It was a little loud indoors but outside we were quite comfortable and it was easy to converse, plus the people watching along the Glenwood Strip at tourist peak is quite entertaining. Our waiter was easily one of the finest waiters I have ever had, funny, attentive, opinionated in all the right ways and passionate about the food he was serving..score. The food is inspired and delicious. I thought it could have used just a tad more salt, but fantastic nonetheless. Fresh heirloom tomato and plum salad was stellar and their homemade sourdough bread with its crispy crust is amazing. We all agreed it was a fine fine meal, save room for dessert. Great meal, inspired, fresh and friendly! Five stars hands down.
(5)Shaun R.
2nd visit - Another 5 stars. One of our favorite places and they seem to do everything well. Do not miss this place if in Glenwood Springs ! Cheers -

I love this restaurant. My wife and I come here every time we come to Glenwood. Great food, reasonable prices, awesome staff. Love it here!

Pierogis were amazing! Service, atmosphere, food and drinks were all stellar. Highly recommend.

Went here for lunch and it was really greAt. The burger was cooked just right and the fries were super!

Excellent food. Good service. A bit loud in there! Lots of room. Good selection. Slightly pricey. Really enjoyed it.
(5)Samantha M.
The Pullman was an awesome place for lunch. The ambiance was great and the portions were just right. I had the Ruben with the cole slaw and it was great! It was reasonably priced, especially for the quality of food. Will definitely be back!
(5)Michelle R.
From the pre dinner cocktails to the last bite, this dinner was fabulous. Had to wait for a table, but we were able to grab a seat at the bar and order one of their recommended cocktails from an incredibly talented bar tender. We waited for only a few minutes and were served warm bread and butter and ordered the crab cakes for an appetizer. We ordered the mussels and pirogies as our meals, and wished we could have sampled everything on the menu because of the flavor combinations they offered. We will definitely be back.

Due to our lifestyle, my family and I dine out a lot--often at really nice establishments. So when we did a daytrip to Glenwood Springs, we headed for The Pullman due to the great reviews and foodie pics. When we entered at lunchtime, the first thing I noticed was a sign near the door that said "well-behaved children" were welcome. I just shrugged it off as our two kids are excellent at restaurants because they've been doing fine dining their whole lives. It took the host awhile to notice us and then even though the restaurant wasn't very full, we were seated at the worst table. "Okay, no biggie," I thought. They gave us menus, which didn't include kids menus. "Okay, maybe they don't have a kids menu." Again, it took awhile for anyone to come to the table after that and it was a gentleman that informed us that he'd get our drinks, but he wasn't our server. As we were on vacation, I let the kids order a fountain drink and they chose rootbeer. I got up and went to the bathroom---passing yet another sign disparaging children---(okay, we get it!!!!) and returned to find bottles of rootbeer at the table. Annoying, those weren't what we ordered. Finally, our server showed up and we asked if they had a kids menu only to find that their $9 kids meals only came with milk/juice (which usually would be great!), but now we'd need to fork out another $3 per kid for a drink. "Okay, fine, we'll just deal with it. $12 kids meals!" Oh....if things hadn't gotten worse from there.... After a long wait, my mac and cheese "entree" came and it was basically 1/2 cup of elbow pasta with guyere and a few breadcrumbs. $9 for that and I was still hungry. (I swear I don't eat much!) I don't mind paying that--even more--if it's wonderful, but it wasn't! The kids meals were also blah and the fries included with their meals and my husband's sandwich were something I could get at a fast food location. Again, this was all done with the bartender as our server--don't even get me started on how terrible our cocktails were-- what a bi-polar space cadet this woman was. Perhaps the worst service I've had in 2014. I'm just disappointed. The reviews hinted at something great and all we got was a big check for crappy food and service. The brewing company in town was much better and a better value for the money. Maybe all the great reviews are because in Glenwood Springs you can get away with this crap, but even my children could tell you that even if you gave them "a puppy and caffeine" like one of your snarky signs says, they wouldn't want to suffer through another heartless meal at The Pullman!
(2)Jeff S.
Easily one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Food was superb and the service matched that standard. The pickled deviled eggs are a must! Joy was our main server but the support service was excellent as well. Can't wait to go back.
(5)trolley S.
I used to love this place. Things have gone down hill since my last review. The house wine is listed at $3 but really it's $3 per 100mls. So if you order a glass you'll get a $9 glass of house wine. Salad was overly salty and I can't even address all the other issues with the food and service. My wine glass was so dirty and when I said something, I was met with a huff. We had the worst waiter in the world. Is that even possible? Yes, it is. He had an attention span of a 2 year old. I almost think he has developmental issues. As a person who has worked with preschooler, I felt empathy but just not sure if he was appropriate to work with the public. I know that other patrons felt the same way as we all looked at each other puzzled as he zoomed from table to table, rarely to finish a sentence or hear the rest of mine. I have also worked in restaurant in front of the house and I would have him working as a busser. When I brought up the issue with the wine pricing he just argued with me like a 2 year old. This is NOT the Pullman I met 3 years ago.
(1)Mase T.
Probably the best place in Glenwood Springs! Love the ambience, waitstaff, and most of all the food. The pickled deviled eggs were yummy. The pork belly salad was amazing. I ordered the curry mussels served with a large slab of pork rind. That was an epic dish. If you love spice, seafood, and texture this dish is for you. My boyfriend ordered the special of day which was venison chops. He had it prepared medium-rare and it came out a little tough but he inhaled it. In addition, we ordered the beef risotto and that was okay, so don't waste your money on that dish. However, the best dish (hands down) was the deep friend apple ravioli with gingerbread ice cream! That was bomb. Love the crunchy texture of the ravioli with the warm apple filling and to finished it off with the gingerbread ice cream was the icing on the top. What a sweet way to celebrate the holidays. On my books for great Colorado restaurants.

I wish I frequented the city of Glenwood Springs more because I would love to be a regular at The Pullman. Thanks to reviews by fellow Yelpers, a bridal party and I picked this place for a nice dinner on the first night of a bachelorette weekend. The bride is pretty picky when it comes to food, so we wanted an American restaurant with something for everyone, especially her. The menu uses big, fancy words, but a diner should not be worried - everything on the menu is delicious (well, at least what we tried). I had the shoulder filet, with roasted garlic bacon mash, chimichurri and a red wine sauce. It was sooo tender and flavorful. After munching on bread and eating all the mashed potatoes, though, I couldn't finish the steak so took home the leftovers. Others in my group had the roasted chicken, oysters, steak salad and gnocchi. All the plates were decent size, so we had more than enough food. Service has a lot of weight with me, so I was happy to have a great experience with all the staff. The hostess was very accommodating to reschedule our previously made reservation. And our waiter was patient when we asked to hear about menu items and for suggestions on meat temperature. He also humored our bachelorette party antics, even surprising the bride with a penis straw for her beer. i don't remember his name, but he was great.
(5)Janet K.
What a great find! Unique, delicious food and cocktails at a great price. We will be back every time we're in Glenwood Springs!
(5)Chad M.
Just finishing lunch here. Good food. Fries were real good. Solid service, although the waiter forgot to get me the extra catsup and I had to ask again. My wife said her food was "great", so she would probably give 5 stars. I'm sticking with 4. Real good, I would eat here again.
(4)Tracy H.
No need to contemplate where to eat dinner. Just eat here. Trust me. Trust Yelp. Seriously. I got the trout and the mister got some BBQ dish that we can't remember exactly for the life of us. I also got the lobster bisque cappuccino which was delicious. More spicy than creamy. All of the flavors and textures complemented each other perfectly. We had the saison from Trinity brewing which rocked our socks off! Our waitress was amazing and really fun. Cody? Cory? I feel so bad that I forgot her name, because she helped make it a great experience.
(5)Adam H.
Our whole trip to Glenwood Springs was a surprise. I didn't realize how great of a town this is and the Pullman was a big factor in making me think this. The food here is creative and well prepared. With a good mix of healthy options and indulgences. We ended up sharing the fish dish and the mussels. Both were excellent. The drink menu had some really creative options also. I ended up having a mule with Fernet that was amazing. The only thing that was better than the food was the service. Overall, great experience.
(5)Richard R.
Great find! Perfect location across from the train station. Outstanding comfort cuisine prepared in a special way. Agree with the writers of Esquire Magazine who in 2011 named it one of the top new restaurants in the U.S. by saying "everything on the menu will tempt you"
(5)Foodie G.
Absolutely wonderful! I had the pork belly dish for dinner which was soooooo good. The maple glaze on it is amazing. My husband had the eggplant dish which had a very tasty tomato sauce on it. For dessert we shared the spiced cake with cream cheese ice cream. The ambiance is trendy. Very nice drink list. Very impressed overall.
(5)William I.
Getting greeted quickly at the door by a pretty girl with a smile is a great start ;) the waiter was very friendly and warm. Took our order quickly. I ordered a Cuban sand which and my babe ordered a grill chicken. Don't really have to wait to leave a review. By the looks of everything, I know it's going to be good.
(5)Diana A.
The food was delicious but the serving sizes were just so small compared to the price. The staff was super friendly and helpful and a great place for families. I'd go again but I'd probably get an appetizer too so I didn't leave hungry lol
(4)Sean S.
When restaurants are nice, they usually are expensive. As in: dishes cost more, and there is less food. They actually have a lot of food. But it was good as well. The chicken was very tender (even the breast). The soup of the day was green apple. It was good until I realized that this is like apple sauce. Should that detract? I don't know. Depends on how you feel when you pay a lot of money for something that isn't that expensive.
(4)Lindsey M.
We walked in at ten o'clock on the dot (there were quite a few people anticipating Pullman's opening) and were greeted by friendly staff. Our server was great, as was our good and drinks. The pickled bacon deviled eggs were delicious, as was my corner beef hash. My husband was happy with the size and quality of his burger as well. Great place! We will definitely go back next time we are visiting.
(5)Erin E.
Amazing foodie haven right here in Glenwood Springs. I've been for both brunch and dinner and every time the experience and food have been fantastic. This is a great place if you like to play with your food, as there are many small plate options. Recently ate a late Christmas Eve dinner here and it was great. We weren't starving, so we ordered the kimchi with peanuts, pierogies with lemon creme fraiche, and a steak/blue cheese salad. Along with a few microbrews. Perfect pre-holiday dinner. The tap list switches up quite frequently- The Pullman highlights only four at a time, and each time I've been here it is something different than the last. But no worries- they have micros in the can/bottle. Their cocktail creations are always a hit and can quickly add up on the bill! As long as you're not a picky eater who won't try anything new/different, you will be impressed!
(5)Chelsea A.
Blueberry cobbler with sour cream ice cream! Duck meatloaf! The Pullman is my favorite restaurant EVER! I have never had such a delicious meal. Everything about this place is bomb.com . Make a reservation and GO!
(5)Tony O.
Delicious. 5 people with different food interests all ate and were happy with their meals. Cheap as well. Great location in downtown if your coming off the mountain or out of the hot springs
(5)Stephen P.
I'd expect this type of high-quality, chef-forward restaurant to be in Boulder or Denver. Perhaps if it was, I'd give it 4 stars ... but this great value in a tourist area give it an extra boost. We had the duck meatloaf and pork shoulder, everything had a creative mix of ingredients and beautiful presentation. Solid craft beer selection.
(5)Leigh S.
After being told we would have to wait over an hour for a table (the 11 empty ones being reserved), my husband and I grabbed the last two seats at the bar. I ordered the steak salad. The steak was grilled perfectly, medium rare. Our drinks were also very good. We each had a whiskey mule. For the two hours we sat and ate, the reserved tables remained empty and the hostess kept turning away customers. Holding multiple tables two hours past the reserved time is an odd way to run a business. The food and drinks were good, but don't go unless you make a reservation or have a lot of time to stand around waiting. Or if you don't mind eating at a packed bar.
(3)Maggie N.
Ask for Gordan to serve you and you will be taken care of! Great food, great service:)
(5)Rebecca P.
Great location, great food, good prices, and good service. We like eating fresh, local food, and this restaurant makes exactly that.
(5)J D.
340+ reviews on yelp with 4.5 stars. Wow. This place seemed like a must try. Unfortunately the service did not match the cuisine. This place has an easy atmosphere with a decent wine list, and excellent fresh menu options at a decent price. Our server "Cora" was inexperienced with a slight attitude. She unfortunately wrecked what could have been a really amazing experience at a local Glenwood Springs restaurant with a chef or kitchen staff who seems to know what they are doing. We ordered a small dish of olives and a couple of salads to start. She brought those out "late" with our kids (ages 9 and 11- not super young) main entrees, and then piled on our dinners shortly after that. Her inexperience with the timing of placing orders was bright and clear. (It appeared to me that she forgot our olives and salad) I let her know that I wish she would have brought our entrees all together. She said she "assumed" we wanted kids meals sooner and, well our relationship went sour very quickly after that. She reacted in a super sassy way proceeding to ask when specifically I would like the kids desserts delivered. Bottom line- - The food was very well prepared, fresh, flavorful, interesting, affordable. -Cora was a terrible server (I have worked in the restaurant service industry for 15 years myself) -This was not a personality conflict, but a serious lack of competency, and most importantly very poor timing and intuitiveness on Cora's part. Timing and intuition make a great restaurant server. Cora, If you do not desire to improve on these character traits, do everyone a favor and find other work!
(4)Di S.
The lamb braised gnocchi is delicious!! The pastas are made in house. My husband had the pierogies, which had a new world twist and were delicious!! Great service and experience. We will be back.

Delicious, so many choices that sounded great. The mussels were wonderful as was the trout entree. Joy was an outstanding server.
(5)Abby Q.
My boyfriend and I came here when we made a trip to Glenwood for my birthday this year. I had read lots of great reviews and the restaurant definitely lived up to the hype! Cyndi was our waitress and she was SO fantastic! She made us feel so welcome, was so knowledgeable about the menu, and was extremely gracious if something we wanted wasn't available. For example, my boyfriend's first choice of entree turned out to be unavailable when she went to put the order in with the kitchen. She brought us free dessert to make up for it! I would not have expected that and it was a lovely touch. We started off our meal with the crispy artichokes. They were delightful and the olive tapenade was such a nice zingy accompaniment. For my meal, I chose the shoulder filet with roasted garlic bacon mash, chimichurri, and red wine sauce. The beef was so tender and the chimichurri was so amazingly fresh. Everything about this meal was wonderful. My boyfriend had a special of the night which was some sort of pork dish with smoked cherries. I feel so sad that I can't recall the proper name for it because it was absolutely delightful as well. For dessert, we chose the strawberry rhubarb ravioli. Crispy doughy warm pillows filled with tangy fruit filling, dragged through cream cheese sauce and finished off with a dollop of basil ice cream. Yea. It was goooooooood. I would make the trip back just for dessert alone. If you're ever in Glenwood, GO HERE! You won't be disappointed!
(5)Ted C.
Dude you can order a bone here. Like a real bone from an animal, sliced in half and cooked to perfection. Its really what I took away from our meal at the Pullman. It was fantastic. Claire C. and I came the day after Thanksgiving, which is Glenwood is a big party, and after trying to get into other restaurants were able to get seated at The Pullman pretty much right away. (Psssss it helps when its a party of two and not 5 to 10 like everyone else that night) After checking in and looking for tips on my favorite mobile foodie app we ordered the Gnocchi Salad and Bone Marrow to split, Mac and Cheese and Gnocchi (I'm Irish and really like potatoes, don't judge me) for the main course and to finish we got a scoop of the Butter and Salted Ice Cream that comes with the bread pudding. The Marrow and Gnocchi Salad were excellent. Top Notch. I felt like all that is man scooping out the marrow and generously applying it to my toasted bread. The salad was good too, I think it is truffle oil that puts it over the top. The main courses were both good. I actually preferred the Mac and Cheese over the Gnocchi but I mean I'm splitting hairs here. Dessert was so what the doctor asked for. The ice cream was divine. I pine for it nightly. The only weird deal for us was ordering the drinks. I got a delightful beer but it came out as a 6 oz pour at first when the card said it would be 14 oz. I asked the server and she quickly went to ask the bar tender who had just put it in the wrong glass. Come to think of it though there wasn't an apology for that mistake. Claire C. got the house red wine. Here is the weird deal you order in ml. I mean I haven't used ml since high school chem I have pretty much no idea how much wine 1 ml is and ordering 300ml is super odd. It does come out in a super cool beaker but some more guidance as to how much to order would be really helpful. To be fair though it was a very busy night. Overall I say 4.5 stars. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra 30 bucks and go to the Pullman and have a meal you will remember for quite a while.
(5)Matthew M.
We had super high hopes going into The Pullman, long lines, good looking food, etc. But once we received our food, we realized it was over priced and just "ok". We had read that it was featured in Esquire magazine so we thought it had to be good if it was recognized on a national level. I can add that we are pretty "simple people" when it comes to our food and that could have played a roll. High end ingredients and "upscale" menu design with a casual atmosphere. Sometimes I just like to keep things simple. The mac and cheese was good, but super small for the price. The Ruben looked and sounded delicious, but it was a disappointment. We will not be going back to this restaurant next time we are in GS.
(3)Melanie S.
Dining on small plates was never so good. We shared a warm duck confit and Spinach salad that was to die for. You didn't want it to end. Such a marvelous blend of flavors and textures that accented each other. A must try if you visit. The Kale salad with parmesan, pinenuts and currants again was the perfect blend of flavors and textures. We had wine and another dish that escapes my memory but not the feeling of satiety that followed the meal. I would rate this the hands down favorite of all my recent dining in Glenwood Springs. Go, you will not be disappointed!
(5)Stink C.
Wonderful service.
(5)Debbie H.
The food was territifc! What more do you need to say. Well, there is morE, our server, John, was excellent. His timing was perfect, he had a great personality and he knew the menu and wine list to perfection. Mark came over to the table and introduced himself, always a plus to meet the chef. ALso liked the decor. Not many 'nice' looking restaurants in Glenwood (not that we found anyway). This is clam, relaxing and clean. Do not miss this one. You will have a great dining experience!!
(5)Rachel J.
Very delicious food, but I felt it was overpriced. I ordered the eggplant cannoli from the "large plate" side of the menu, but it was not very much food for $13. I ended up ordering the mashed potatoes (also very delicious) for an extra $5.
(4)Liz R.
My boyfriend and I stopped here on the way to Denver for lunch, and we instantly fell in love. I got an amazing beet and arugula salad, and it was one of the best salads I've ever had. I also got their pea soup, and it was delish! My boyfriend got the grilled cheese, and he was immensely pleased even though he can be a bit of a food snob. The service was great, and I thought the pricing was fair. I would love to try this out for dinner some night!
(5)Shanette M.
Sweet baby Jesus! This meal was soo f**king Amazing, & I took it carry out!! I had the bone marrow soo good & this is coming from a gal who had a roommate long ago that kinda ruined it for her. Lamb entree incredibly scrumptious!! Two deserts cause why not, the carrot cake was de- lish & the salted Choco pie. I mean thank god I did take out cause then I didn't have to embarrassed myself. The only problem is I live in Denver, I will be back.
(5)Becky T.
Food is amazing. Certainly worthy of any Denver foodie and probably any other. Bone marrow "snack" delicious! Blue cheese dip, amazing. Colorado mules...to die for!
(5)Kristen B.
Don't pass up an opportunity to eat here! If you are detail oriented and want value for your money this is where you eat. The perogies with truffle oil were my choice and everyone agreed they rocked. Not the biggest amount of food served, but definitely of high quality, and rich enough that you won't mind sharing plates.
(5)Carol Y.
This was the first time My friends and i went to this restaurant, and that was terrible, very disappointed. Firstly We ordered different food, we all think those food are salty and very small size. Then we asked manager, the manager said:" well, I can't understand what you want to do, do you want to order more food? " We said, no, we just told you we think those not deserve more than 12 dollars just for this small size. He said:" well, now you know, and this is our food. You know, everyone got the same size, and if you don't want to order more food, i'm sorry, but that's it!" So bad experience from this restaurant, we won't forget this one.
(1)Elizabeth A.
The oysters with jalapeño were great! So was the rest of the food and dessert. Capuccino was strong and delicious. The service was great and they were really nice to my 5yr old. Will be back!

Perfect menu, perfect food, perfect service. Had rib tacos, lamb with pea risotto. My wife had the mussels with fries. Dessert was amazing: carrot cake hush puppies and bread pudding with bacon ice cream. Amazing!
(5)Jon N.
Wow! We just ate dinner her and were very impressed. We at at an earlier time and the place still had a great atmosphere. Our waitress Krisan, was very attentive and was great about answering all of our questions and gave great service throughout. The menu was very interesting with some quite eclectic choices together with enough choices for those of us who are less adventurous. We started with the beets, arugula and walnut salad. This had a horseradish dressing that was applied in just enough quantity to compliment the salad rather than overpower it. For main course my wife had the large plate hanger steak and I had the duck meatloaf. Both were phenomenal. Finally we got the bread pudding for dessert (although it was a tough choice with peach bacon crumble being an option - dessert with bacon?? You gotta give that a shot!). It being a favorite of my wife's she is a tough critic. Both of us loved it. Even the coffee was great! Finally the price was extremely reasonable given the quality. With two rounds of drinks it was $80 (exclusive tip). We'll be back again tomorrow night for the rabbit and the peach bacon crumble...

Unusually high quality and variety for the price. It helps to make a reservation which is so easy to do online which I did 15 mins before arriving there and they were turning people away. My table was ready for me. A bit noisy but great food and service and value!
(5)Jackie A.
I went for lunch and this place is delicious. For non-egg lovers you must try Cobb Salad Sandwich it's amazing. For those egg loves you would love Trout Scramble, Friend eggs sandwich, and Eggs benedict.

As a Colorado native, I've come to expect average 2 to 3 star food and service in most ski and tourist towns in the state. Unless you are willing to drop a hundred bucks per person in some swanky restaurant (in say Aspen or Beaver Creek), you usually won't find many places that take their culinary skills and customer service beyond a mediocre level. This is why my husband and I were both very impressed with The Pullman. Conveniently located in the "downtown" part of Glenwood Springs, the restaurant is a rustic, eclectic and comfortable setting that provides great customer service via well-trained and informed servers, and most importantly, great food. Notable dishes include the mussels and pulled pork entrees that my husband and I both shared. Unique flavor pairings, great presentation and perfect portions made these winners. Try this restaurant....you won't be disappointed!
(5)Mike D.
I have loved every single thing I have had at the Pullman.
(5)Sarah S.
This restaurant was the highlight of our drive through Colorado. We ordered crispy pork belly, a roasted red pepper soup special, and a lamb sandwich. Everything we ordered was amazing. Really wanted to try the macaroni and cheese. This place was so good that I'm actually planning a visit into my next roadtrip through the area.
(5)Steve B.
Inconsistent food prep & service. Had a fabulous beef sandwich one afternoon & mediocre eggs Benedict a few mornings later-eggs not cooked quite enough (should be firm whites, not quite), meager portion of pancetta & hollandaise. Great service one day, had to wait for one meal at our table due to kitchen error on two other occasions.
(3)Catherine O.
The food was outstanding. I had the Reuben and my husband ate the calimari po'boy. Nice texture, great bread, good flavors. Only three stars because the staff is sorely under managed. When we arrived, the manager actually sat at a table and just looked at us. Not one server glanced at the door. It was off hours but I'm not sure 3:00 on a Saturday afternoon, in a tourist town, is so strange. The manager finally sat us after about 2 min of us standing at the door. It still took 10 minutes to get a beer to the table. It has potential with a stronger leader in place.
(3)Jesse D.
Horrible hosting. Very rushed. Steak was not worth the wait or the price. Their shrimp special was over cooked and taste like rubber. Their are finer dining places in glenwood springs .
(1)David S.
A little rich but creative
(4)Paul B.
Great vibe but portion was weak on pasta special at lunch for $12 and if you are going to put eggs on dishes (which I love), you should ask how the guest wants it choked. We don't all like egg whites runny.
(3)Shawn P.
We found The Pullman while on a train trip through Glenwood Springs, and have made it a point to re-visit whenever in the area. Visiting The Pullman starts with outstanding service from the Host, and the food is absolutely amazing! I personally recommend the Hanger Steak Salad....perfection in every way! The servers have always been very helpful and the bar has all you could ask for. The cost is VERY reasonable and considering the quality.....it's a bargain!
(5)Connie B.
Stopped on our way to Utah. The gnocchi salad was great! The manager stopped by a couple of times to make sure we were happy! Will be back!
(4)Marianne H.
We loved the Pullman! Food was great and the service was impeccable. It was great to find such a place in Glenwood Springs. We had dinner Saturday night and then went back Sunday for lunch.
(5)Melanie C.
Best meal of Colorado vacation. Unexpectedly awesome restaurant in Glenwood Springs near train station. Boyfriend had roasted chicken (still talking about it!) I had eggplant, we shared arugula salad and marscapone dessert. Our waiter seemed brand new but the other staff made the experience great.
(5)Taylor S.
We had a great experience at The Pullman. We were looking for a good restaurant in Glenwood and found this one rated #1 on Yelp. The atmosphere was right up our alley - laid back. It has a pub feel to it, but we were looking for a local restaurant with excellent food - not necessarily white table linens and crystal glassware. Our waitor, Jon, was awesome. Extrememly knowledgable and great attention to detail (great with our five year old as well). We ordered two deviled eggs as an appetizer - not the best - a little tangy. For dinner, we ordered the duck meatloaf and the special which was a ribeye. Both were most excellent - would highly recommend both entrees. Prices were decent as well. We had three entrees (one child), an appetizer, salad, and two adult beverages each and the total was under $100. Perfect experience right in the heart of downtown Glenwood. Cheers!
(4)Mike S.
I'm only basing this review on the poutine. I'm Canadian so of course whenever I see poutine on the menu in the US, I have to try it. This is nothing like the usual Canadian fare, nor is it good really. There's shredded cheddar instead of Mozzarella curd and a thin cream-based concoction instead of gravy. The fries don't lend themselves well to the 'gravy'. It was bland as well. :(
(2)C R.
Worth every star...and the drive from Aspen. Only here for lunch twice. Grilled cheese with short ribs very good. Daily specials sound great too. Very cool place and looks like there may be others nearby.
(5)J S.
Had dinner here last night. This place is awesome. Staff was great. Had a great time here. Had the scallops, they were awesome. The salted chocolate pie was suprisingly awesome. This is my second time here and I will defintiely come back.
(4)Luke K.
The Pullman was a great place to eat. I went there with my wife and kids. Great environment, friendly staff. The food was really good with familiar items with some surprising flavors. Would recommend to anyone.
(4)Tate L.
A very cool find! If you are ever in Glenwood Springs, this is a must! Very excellent food with great service. I had the Berkshire Pork with the smoked mozzarella grits. Keep up the great job and I will be back on my next visit to Glenwood.
(5)Chris F.
Great atmosphere, interesting drinks, and the menu was varied enough to keep us ordering more! Service was friendly but lacking that extra attention ( no water refills, silverware left with first course but no silverware with second). Next time we we are in town we will be back!
(4)Franklin C.
I can't recommend this place enough! I took my fiance here literally minutes after I proposed to her. I had called ahead and let them know that I planned to do this and they were so wonderful throughout the evening. There was a bottle of bubbly waiting for us on the table and the chef had prepared a special menu for us. The menu started with incredibly delicious baked oysters with a scallop mousse and a meyer lemon vinaigrette. Next was the gnocchi salad with shaved asparagus. Next we had a pork pate served with an incredible blueberry preserves that was a perfect pairing with the richness of the pate. This was my fiance's favorite of the night. The star of the evening for me was a grilled pork loin that had come from a local hog they butchered the evening before. The next course was a hangar steak that was impossibly flavorful and was so tender it seemed to melt in my mouth. Finally, for the dessert courses we had a Palisade peach sorbet served in a shot of Maker's Mark. God, was that good. Finally we had a chocolate peanut butter pie. The crust was made from peanut butter Captain Crunch and it was served with chocolate covered bacon toffee. The wine list was also great with many Colorado wines on the list that were all reasonably priced. I had one cocktail that needs to be added to the cocktail list, called the Three Putt. It was an Earl Gray infused gin done in-house mixed with fresh lemonade. It's the kind of drink that I would love to sip on all afternoon while sitting outside and watching the river go by. The service was impeccable--attentive and welcoming but never overbearing. The atmosphere was also perfect. Friendly and lively but not too loud. Special thanks to Eric, the manager, and the waitress whose name I wish I could remember. We will be back anytime we are near Glenwood and I would recommend that you all do the same.
(5)Deborah F.
Bone Marrow App was great! They served a great selection of wines to complement the meal, and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.
(5)Daniel C.
Delicious, fresh, creatively prepared food! Two ambiance suggestions: No need for rock music in the background, since the high ceilings magnify the conversations. Avoid the tables under the a/c ducts if you don't have a sweater on. We started with the homemade chips with pungent blue cheese sauce. We split the red quinoa salad. Then the trout, eggplant, and chicken were great. The house red was a good deal. For dessert we split the strawberry rhubarb ravioli. Delightful! For $40 a person, do not hesitate.
(5)Sarah L.
We decided to eat at the Pullman for our wedding anniversary and were not disappointed. It was our first time there and after reading the reviews we were expecting a great meal. Be sure to make reservations because there is a constant stream of people. It was a Wednesday night but still full. My husband ordered his steak medium rare but it came well done but no matter, the waiter right away recognized that, apologized and brought one medium rare. The salad was delicious. The home fries were out of this world! We would go there again for sure if we are in the Glenwood Springs area.
(5)Ilona F.
During a soak in the hot springs, a fellow bather recommended this restaurant and insisted that I try the burrata. This person seemed to know their way around the food world so I made a point of having lunch here before heading back to Denver. The burrata -- a ball of homemade mozzarella and ricotta cheese, served with white beans and roasted roma tomatoes -- was heavenly, both by itself and spread on the warm house bread. I decided to splurge and also try the trout; it was tasty but not as mouthwatering as the burrata. My only complaint is that they have a few flat screen TVs...why distract diners from the delicious food?
(4)M P.
I have to say the first couple of times I wasn't going to give this a 5 star, but after a couple more it just keeps getting better. A winner of one of the top new restaurants in the United States had me wondering what I had been missing, but as I explored the menu I soon found out why...great food and great combinations of ingredients that you sometimes wonder how they came together. They do wine by the "inch" at the bar and have a lot of wine and beer tasting events. Don't miss meatball Tuesdays which is bread, wine, salad, spaghetti/meatball and apple cobbler desert for $18. Don't miss this restaurant when in town
(5)Corinne E.
Pullman was recommended by the front desk gal at our hotel while in town. So glad we went! Tacos on the appetizer menu are outstanding! I'd go back for plates of those all the time if I lived closer. Dessert: Nutella Bread Pudding w/bacon ice cream--wow! Okay, the bacon ice cream was not as good as I had hoped, I'd prefer crunchy bacon bits on top instead of soft chewy pieces mixed in, however it pairs well with the caramel and bread pudding. We were very impressed with The Pullman; great food, modern atmosphere, service was nothing outstanding but not bad either. Dinner plates run about $20, 'small plates' run about $10. Great place to grab food while passing through or staying close.
(4)Sheri S.
You know your meal is going to rock when you devour the salad. Had trout with risotto and wild mushrooms. This place is an excellent find!
(5)Mora L.
Gnocchi salad worth going for alone. Baba beer, wonderful with it. Lamb sandwich a bit greasy, heavy, as was short rib sandwich. Bread amazing. Odd feeling there. Almost snippy with us. Uppity? I would say price range high, but average for here. Chicken cordon blue sandwich was great according to teen we brought with us. Oysters unique, cucumber flavor, but no Tabasco brought with them...which we are used too. Overall worth the salads. Seriously good. My teen not crazy about Lamb, asked for rest of my salad. Painful for me! What we parents sacrifice!
(3)Renee B.
Amazing menu and great service! We enjoyed an absolutely delicious dinner here on a Monday evening with our three year old son. Even on a Monday, they were busy, so I recommend reservations. They were very accommodating and even returned my phone call regarding my concerns about bringing our son with us. They assured me that well-behaved guests of all ages are welcome (: There's something for everyone on their menu and we enjoyed appetizers, entrees, desserts & wine. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Thank you!!!
(5)Dave L.
The fourth time here. I travel for business alone quite often, I think I was alone twice and had a companion twice. Everytime the food , the service and the ambiance were very good, when the place was packed or moderately busy. Staff is always fun, friendly without trying too hard. Tonite I had the grass fed burger with greens. Usually, I would rather have a green chile than caramelized onions, they finish the onions with sherry vinegar and brown sugar....perfect. I love bread but their homemade English muffin roll was super, it did not overwhelm the burger, I might need to rethink my love for big ciabatta rolls.
(5)Kevin W.
The Pullman a is restaurant that can stand toe to toe with anything in Denver and probably the best of Portland, Chicago, LA, San Francisco & New York. I've come to believe there is no decent food in the mountains, and that most mountain restaurants rely on the tourist trade, so they make only "edible" food so the tourist pays their bill and leaves. The Pullman was one of only two exceptions I have found in the mountains (the other being the "Laughing Horse" food truck in Breckenridge). The Pullman was a total surprise, the food, the service and the atmosphere are excellent. I wish it was in Denver (where I live) so I could go weekly, instead of the several times per year, I will make the 3 hour trip to eat there. If you are within 100 miles of this restaurant, make a detour and enjoy an excellent meal and a great experience.
(5)Ron N.
Went here with three of my co-workers. The menu looked impressive (most of which I needed deciphered). Our waitress Raquel was friendly and more than happy to discuss the menu and make recommendations. I got the burger after some waffling (the fish sounded good). The burger was good (apparently free range and some other nice sounding things) and cooked right, topped with carmelized onions and cheese. The string fries were a bit too salty though. I have two vegetarian co-workers...one enjoyed her eggplant canneloni. The other received a squash dish with the bacon in it that she had requested be not in the dish. Then she asked for the mac and cheese instead after deciding she didn't want them to try making it again. Sadly, she was charged for the mac and cheese (but at least not for the bacon squash dish), which made her less satisfied. Overall, some hits some misses, I would think about returning, but would probably try some other places first.
(3)Colette Q.
Amazing, by far my favorite restaurant in town when we can afford it. I've had the strangest dishes there that always end up being so delicious.
(5)B K.
We have eaten there twice and had exceptional meals both times. Will absolutely go back for the Reuben sandwich!
(5)Addi P.
Innovative & unique menu with simple quality ingredients. Great staff (props to David). Delicious gluten free options.
(5)Matthew B.
Absolutely must visit. Both food and drink were incredible! The gnocchi salad was incredible. Drinks were excellent as well. Having recently visited Alinea, Moto, and Next in Chicago, this was equally as satisfying!
(5)Jessica R.
Wow, where to start! If you like ecclectic dining, then this place is for you! The restaurant atmosphere is upscale, however, being in a tourist town, you can walk in with a tank top and flip flops, and still enjoy the great food. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary, so we went all out. For appetizers, we started with the gruyere cheese and ham fritters with strawberry preserve glaze/sauce...absolutely phenomenal, if you love gruyere cheese, it is definitely for you. We also had the bone marrow, in addition to the fritters, and that was fantastic as well, it was served with caramelized onions and grilled bread...if you aren't into trying new and ecclectic menu options, then this place may not be for you. On to the main course! I ordered the curry lamb with an additional side of the bacon mash potatoes. The lamb was so tender it was falling apart, cooked perfectly and very flavorful, by far one of the best lamb dishes I have had to date. I happen to love swine in its entirety, so the bacon mash tatoes were very delicious. The bacon was full of hickory smoked goodness, superb! My husband had the diver scallops, which were also perfectly cooked, served with a demi glaze. Not the best scallops we have ever had, but nonetheless, great. The portions were perfect me, however my husband thought they were a bit small. We didn't make it to desert because we were so stuffed with appetizers as well as the best sourdough bread they serve complimentary. The only reason why it wasn't a full 5 stars was due to the alcoholic beverages we chose. My husband had the sangria, housemade, which was made with white wine (we are predominantly red wine drinkers) so it was just okay. I had a mixed drink, which I can't recall the name of because it was mediocre. Other than the drinks, the food and atmosphere were fantastic! We will definitely going back again!
(4)Sarah Ann B.
My Country tis of thee, How fine your food can be, Here at The Pull-man! Standard American food has never looked so good. Drooling over dish after dish I could hardly make it though half of the menu when I found Mac n Cheese with Guerre. I almost cried on the spot. What a beautiful molding of such magical creations! How I managed to read on, still boggles my mind, but I am glad I did, for I found my life blood, Pulled Pork. BBQ Chipotle pulled pork with cheese embraced by a cheddar biscuit with bacon, to be exact. I was immediately filled with the finest joy that only pig bits can bring. Needless to say, I went with that, and I will be back for the Mac n Cheese another day. Oh hail their Glorious Golden God of a pig (seriously though, it's throne is over by the kitchen)! I was even lucky enough to witness my friends dish of short rib over a cheesy hash brown medley (I will come back for that as well. Despite the perfection of all these dishes, they are quite reasonably priced. My dish was only $11! Heck, you can get a really crappy sandwich for that... I like the open environment inside. It's nice seeing what the cooks are creating, and having the smells waft over the entire restaurant. Tables were clean cut, and well spaced. The rags as napkins were a nice touch too, implying that really, they want you to enjoy your food. Our server was very pleasant and wasn't badgering about ordering the specials or having to have desert. I'm pretty sure the owner was walking around (due to his dressed down attire compared to everyone else), which was a nice touch knowing he was close by, but not claiming his greatness, by any means. If I am ever bringing family, a date, a friend, or a foe to glenwood for a meal, this will be in my top 2. Pure truth can be sought in the eyes of those who dine on swine.
(5)Stefani T.
After a crash and burn bad meal at Florindo's on a Friday night, we stopped in for dessert and a drink at the Pullman. I had the butterscotch budino, hubby had strawberry rhubarb crumble- paired with port and beer...everything was fab. We ogled the dinner menu, despairing over what should have been and vowed to come back the next evening for dinner. So, after a day of hiking and floating in the hot springs we were back for a Saturday night dinner. Our server was great, timed our food appropriately, brought out drinks as needed. We were also helped by a front of the house manager type from time to time- everyone on the floor seemed attentive and ready to help clear away, bring more tea etc. Yummy bar drinks- watermelon Mojito and a Pullman Palmer (which is a perfect summer time drink-lemonade, tea and clemetine vodka with fresh mint sprigs) We ordered a variety- chips with bleu cheese, shrimp ceviche, rabbit hash, watermelon and pork salad, lamb meatballs with feta gnudi, and pierogis. Chips and Bleu Cheese dip= perfect amount of cheese on fresh made chips, great pub fare. Had just a bite of my husband's ceviche but it was yummy. OMG, that watermelon, pork, and arugula salad might have been the best thing I ever ate. Fresh, sweet fruit, tangy, citrusy dressing, peppery arugula, and crisped pork that was fork tender. Cannot comment on the rabbit hash, just had too much food to consider and rabbit isn't my favorite so I didnt taste it. Piergois were wonderful, lamb meatballs super too. Followed everything with dessert and a Dark and Stormy (be ready for a spicy Dark and Stormy, they use fresh made ginger beer/soda, not your standard gingerale, and it has a definite kick). Be adventurous and try a variety here, you won't be disappointed and items are priced and sized to allow you to do just that. 4 bar drinks, 2 desserts and 7 menu items for $100, totally worth it. Did I mention we ate here for Sunday brunch as well? :)
(4)Eddie J.
This was as close to prefect as I think I am going to find. The service was out standing from the time we walked on the door. The food was amazing. I recommended the lamb or the hanger streak. Though I don't think you can get a bad meal.
(5)Brian M.
All members of party had great plates of food, staff was cordial and friendly. Wish i lived closer, this would be a hang-out.
(5)Tequila J.
Excellent spot. Service was top notch and the food was incredible. Oysters, muscles and hanger steak filled us up and made us happy!
(5)Sue P.
This was a great place in Glenwood Springs. Not many write ups so we just decided to go there. We have bee traveling for 3 weeks and have been to some really nice places. This was right up there with all of them but about half the price. Lots of nice wine by the glass. I had the duck meatloaf and the porcini braised rabbit. My husband had the crispy nori roll/salmon pastrami. For dessert we shared the butterscotch budding. It was all wonderful!
(5)Julie C.
This is one of our favorite restaurants in the state and never miss it when we visit Glenwood Springs. The restaurant is inviting and cozy and the food is fantastic. We also love that it has a kids menu, so everyone is happy. Never had a less than wonderful meal there.
(5)Em H.
Eff Juicy Lucy! Just kidding. I've never been there. But that's what my boyfriend said halfway through our fantastic meal at the Pullman regarding the restaurant we *almost* visited instead. In all honesty I'd give the atmosphere a 3.5-4, same goes for the service. The 5-star rating, as such, is a testament to how unbelievably good the food is here! Here's the rundown: 1. Oysters on the half--"dressed differently every day". I don't remember how they were dressed, but OMG, they were garlic-y and delicious, and quite frankly the BEST oysters I've ever had. 2. Bacon beignets AHHH-MAZING. My boyf sopped up every. last. drop of the maple crèma they rested on, using the awesomely dense bread we were given (after the beignets were gone). I was honestly a little embarrassed by the cleanliness of his plate. I told him to stop and wait for the next course, to which he responded, "Em, we're in Glenwood springs." Point taken. 3. The roasted beet salad - very good. 4. The butternut squash salad - one of the best salads I've ever tasted. Seriously, you have to try this. Unique and incorporates a great variety of textures and flavors. 5. The grilled hanger steak - my boyf got it sans blue cheese, which would have made it better. It was good- well cooked and flavorful. 6. My entree, the shrimp and grits, stole the spotlight. The bacon tomato broth that was poured over it made the dish out-of-this-world. It was extremely flavorful. 7. Butterscotch budino w salted caramel. Okay, so I gave up dessert for Lent and couldn't try this. Boyf said it was reeeally good. In fact, he at it all, and he's not all that big on dessert. 'nuff said. 8. House wine. A pino noir on-tap and sold by 100 mls. We had a lot. It was fun. One of the greatest meals ever in Glenwood Springs....whoooda thunk it? This place is a MUST-try! I spoke to a bartender at the Colorado Hotel and she highly recommended the cauliflower gratin, which I didn't get to try, as well. Do. It.
(5)Candis H.
Looked great, great ambiance too. Greeter said "what can I help you with?" Is it not obvious we're here to eat?! She told us 45 min wait Bc we had no reservations but the place was almost empty. They have signs all over trying to be cute about how if you have polite kids they're welcome and things about unattended kids and such. I think they want to be nicer restaurant than they are. Want you to make reservations and don't want kids. Get over yourselves.
(2)Jeff L.
We went to The Pullman after reading excellent Yelp reviews and also getting a recommendation from a local. The service was excellent. The menu was small but interesting. The bottom line for my visit was that my meal wasn't very good but my girlfriend's was excellent. I had the "barbecue" pork, which other Yelp reviewers loved. I think I jus caught them on an off night because the pork was dry and mealy, probably just over cooked. Donna had the roast chicken and it was perfect. The rest of the meal was great.
(3)Seth C.
I grew up in this area, it was wonderful to come back for a visit and and find a great place for some amazing food.
(5)liz T.
My favorite meal on vacation in Colorado was at The Pullman. We ate there about a month ago and I am still thinking about it. I had a the local fresh caught trout... so good. Really creative menu. Try the Gnocchi salad... yep, you read that right. Fantastic. Finally a place that wasn't just burgers and ribs! If I get back to the area I'm definitely going to dine here again.
(5)Eric H.
I agree with the other reviews! Great food and great service. Some unique menu items and flavor combinations. An unexpected mountain gem.
(5)James M.
My Fiancee and I ate there on 2-9-13, as I had lunch there a week or so before and it was really good. So expecting a good quality dining experience I took her there bragging on this place and have to say it was really a let down. The food was not the issue, it was acceptable to good. We each had an appetizer and a small plate. She had the Pork Rinds (and it was like ordering a bag of them at the convenience store). Sorry, we'll take that one, although I would have at least expected something to of put on them or a dipping sauce or something. I had the Short Rib Taco's. These were really good except there were only three of them and they were the size if a 50 cent peice. She had the small plate pierogis, and I had the small plate rabbit dish. Both of these were very good, but again, not much for portion size.....I guess that is what we should expect thogh when we ordered off of the small plate menu. So over all the food was really good, and I have no complaints with the quality of it. The real issue was the service, or the lack there of. I don't know what our servers name was, but it said Chris on the reciept afterwards. I think either he needed a lot of help, or should find something else to do for a living, as the service was subpar. We even had a couple of other servers come by and ask if there was anytihng we needed which we did and told them, only to of never seen them again... either of them. The greeter at the door wearing the tropical hawaiian shirt asked us on our way out how everything was. I told him the FOOD was fine but service was bad. He told me he understood, and simply told us it was because they were "busy". You know what. I am going to help you out with that busy part guy, and not come back. Hope you stay busy. I don't see that happening though unless you improve your attitude and customer service skills though.
(2)Devon P.
My husband and I were visiting for the weekend and went to the Pullman because of a friends recommendation. The food and service were amazing. The decor was trendy and modern. My husband had raw oysters and said they were great. I had the chicken and it was awesome! It was moist and flavorful which isn't always the case at other places. My husband loved the trout and we were both happy with our meals. We had the blueberry bread pudding and it was to die for, sooo good. I would recommend this place to others!
(5)Caleb C.
Went to the Pullman on a Friday evening for an early dinner. What a great place. The food was creative and tasty. The space was certainly pleasant and we had excellent service.
(5)Jon Stacey S.
This is exceptional food. This town has needed a restaurant like this!!!! Every thing we ordered was great. If you are a foody this is your place.
(5)Michelle D.
Good eats, for sure! Interesting variations on everyday meals. Awesome decor--has an industrial, loft-like feel to it. This restaurant was recommended to us by a local. Locals know best!
(4)Cora R.
I absolutely love The Pullman. The salads were fresh and yummy, the sandwiches looked great too. Some wine was sold by volume, which was interesting. Our waitress was attentive and adorable. They carry a Colorado brand of soda. I really loved the ginger beer.
(5)Christina S.
We stopped here for lunch during a day trip to Glenwood Springs on our Colorado vacay. It was great- exactly what we wanted. The food was delicious- we started with the homemade pork rinds that were drizzled with truffle oil- enough said, right? I had the grilled cheese with shredded short ribs or something, and my hubs had the special- unfortunately, I can't remember what it was- some kind of sandwich. But both were phenomenal. The food was unpretentious and tasty, and the service was attentive without being annoying. We would definitely come back if we're ever in Glenwood Springs again!
(4)Sarah M.
Cute place, great, inventive dishes, but horribly slow service even on a slower night. I had the Eggplant canelloni with mushroom risotto, coriander tomato sauce, reggiano. Appetizers- short rib tacos with sesame chile salsa Rosa and kimchee. I don't even know where to start, but it was a lot of new flavors and combinations and I loved every bite of my dish and appetizers and of the taste of my husband's as well. Great portions as well. Smaller sized portions, but with the appetizers we felt pleasantly full, not over-stuffed. Would come back for the food but would hope for faster service. We were here for over 2 hours.
(4)M C.
Great atmosphere, very creative and tasty menu and a friendly staff. Feels like a restaurant you might find in the swanky parts of the town in a big city but it's still laid back and very relaxing atmosphere. For someone who's usually turned off by the typical self important, stuffy decor that the traditional restaurants try to present to make of up for quality (cough cough the steak house next door) this was a breath of fresh air. I had their rabbit loin wrapped in bacon as my "small platter" and then the lamb chops with some amazing curry fritters as my "big platter" and washed it down with some amber ale. The server was nice and friendly. The girl upfront was equally up to task. Observing the rest of the staff working and interacting with their customers I'd say they provide great service across the board. great place, highly recommend it, if you are in Glenwood Springs, CO.

The combination of a creative menu and a room with an urban/chic vibe is surprising for a location outside of a city. Great food...the slow-cooked pork shoulder with mozzarella grits and the roasted chicken were fantastic...but don't let your foodie snobbishness make you overlook the burger, which is among the best I've ever had, anywhere. Props, too, to the bar's emphasis on local craft beers. All in all, a great restaurant - and kid-friendly, too (at least early).

Great food, friendly staff & good atmosphere Try the 'Elvis' while you figure out what to eat.

Good atmosphere, friendly staff, good food. Some unique dishes available, or some predictables as well. Yummy either way you go!

Had the short rib hash, and my Mom had the wild mushroom and tomato hash. Sunday brunch. Delish!

My family and I are on vacation in Glenwood Springs/Aspen for our first time. We are from San Francisco where you cannot beat the 5 star food with famous chefs from around the world working on every corner. This place exceeded our expectations. From the decor to the atmosphere to the presentation. I cant even recommend one item because every single thing was exceptional! My family and I all shared bites since we couldnt resist asking each other for a taste. Whether passing through or staying for the night, you MUST dine here! 5 stars, amazing. and to think, in the middle of a small town in the rockies...
(5)Carole K.
Creative menu with mostly tasty outcomes. Very pleasant dining experience.
(4)Sarah B.
We must have been here on an off night because the other reviews were so positive. We found all of our food to be extremely salty, so much so that I could not finish my meal. Our server was great though, attentive without being annoying. I don't think we will be back next time we are in Glenwood.....too many other good choices to risk over paying for a block of salt.
(3)Brandon M.
Finally a quality restaurant delivering items that can't be found anywhere else. The food is so good it makes it difficult to eat at other restaurants. The best part I'd that everything on the menu was under 20$. These are the type of dishes you'd expect to pay close to a hundred dollars for in aspen. The restaurant was a bit loud so if your looking for a quiet romantic dinner rigid is not the spot. However if you'd like to be blown away by creative, delicious, and amazing food, this is the spot.Local to Glenwood springs for 13 years.
(5)Howard P.
I was in town on business and the hotel front desk suggested Pullman. Wow, what great surprise! Every dish was treat. I started with the pumpkin/butternut squash soup with a homemade marshmallow on top. It was an amazing collection of tastes. I had a small plate of goat nachos. Be sure to try this one. Dessert was the cake of the day, ginger cake with mango glaze. Don't miss this place!

The first time I went here (last year) it was awesome...after that just not that good therefore I will compromise on 3 stars. Bad service with mediocre food. We decided to sit at the bar to get a drink while we waited for our reservation. The bartender was a total crab...when you work with people you just have to pretend sometimes...not her. She took forever with our drinks and when I ordered my second wine to bring to the table she poured me the wrong kind. Then there was our waiter...I wanted to get the correct glass of wine but I thought whatever why be a bother...The table next to us had a basket of bread so I asked for one after we were sitting for at least 15 minutes! He brought one 10 minutes later with water. This may sound picky but he did not even pour our waters he just set the pitcher on our table. His explanation of menu items was off, he sounded confused and looked even more confused. What I ordered and his description did not match. The food was just OK, nothing special. The elk stew thing was over priced and was made to be set on a doll house table. The salad I could have ordered at a chain. The gnocchi and lamb meatballs were pretty. Next time when I am on a weekend getaway in Glenwood I will not be spending my money here.
(3)Brenda B.
Visited on 9/23/11 for dinner. We liked that the chef is 100% in favor of local farmers' fare and Colorado products in general. The ambiance is very nice and the place has a good "feel". The hostess was pleasant but was dressed in holey jeans--not the right 1st impression on a Saturday night for a nice/better place in beautiful Glenwood. Food was very reasonably priced and creative. I had lamb chops. Good but not great. The flavor was okay, not WOW, as it could have been. Same with my BF's fish, okay. Heirloom tomato salad and sour dough bread were very good. The wine list was also just okay, but overpriced! 3x plus as in the stores.
(3)J J.
Tv in the dining room? Ambiance is ok. Wait staff very friendly and efficient. Food was very good. Not a large selection for people that don't eat fish, duck or pork. A bit pricey.
(3)Jessica P.
What a great find!! We stumbled upon this restaurant while in Glenwood this past weekend and it was fantastic! A great variety of foods and everything we tried was amazing! In fact it was so amazing we went back the next night! Definitely recommend!
(5)Polina S.
4 of us - best restaurant we've ever eaten in. Everything. From the drinks to the apps to mains and desserts. Spent the entire night talking about how wonderful their food was. Very unexpected gem and so well priced.
(5)Gordon J.
Unique menu presented and prepared admirably, superb service, very reasonable prices. It does not get much better than this.
(5)patricia W.
What a great surprise! Excellent, creative cuisine in a friendly atmosphere. We had a fabulous meal and predict that you will as well. We'll definitely be back!
(5)Stephen H.
Fantastic Brunch spot and a great place to pop in for lunch. Creative menu that changes regularly and seasonally. Locally sourced and sustainable produce and meats.
(4)Anna S.
Went here after reading all the reviews and The Pullman lives up to them. Visiting with my two kids - picky picky eaters. They had the parm/rosemary fries for an appie. They devoured them. I had the kale, currant, pine nut salad. Never had kale in my live and loved it. Dinner - son had 4 cheese macaroni and cheese. "This is the best mac n cheese I have ever had." Daughter and I shared steak which was very good. Very tender, and cooked perfectly.
(4)Ira S.
Went to Carbondale CO for Super Bowl Sunday so we hit The Pullman in Glenwood Springs for their Sunday brunch. Started with a really unique drink, their signature bacon bloody Mary. BEST Bloody I have ever had! There were 4 of us so we tasted several apps and had 4 different entrees. It has been quite a while since a meal out seemed so completely flawless but this dining experience was just that, completely flawless! The entree I had was the short ribs hash. Incredible meal and totally unique. Best new eats on the Western Slope hands down. Enjoy!
(5)Lisa S.
Don't try to eat here if anyone in your group has a food allergy--they are unwilling/unable to serve someone allergic to peanuts/nuts. This is the first time a restaurant has ever told us they did not feel comfortable serving us (and we eat out a lot). I guess I appreciate their honesty but... The good news is that we went to Juicy Lucy's instead--amazing meal! Anyway, looks like a nice place (although VERY loud, even when not full); enjoy if you have no dietary restrictions.
(1)Jim T.
Fun menu with a lot of variety. Four of us dined there on a Friday night. For fun, we tried to find something on the menu we would not want to try. Everything sounds good, and all the food we ordered was excellent. My wife Lamb Meatballs with little gnocchi like pasta. Also had Turnip Bisque, fantastic flavor with a cherry honey drizzle. Eggplant Cannelloni was very good. Also have some fantastic salads. This is a solid restaurant and worth a try.
(5)Piglet A.
Stopped here on the way from Denver to Grand Junction. The food is outstanding. A great creative menu with a wide variety of choices. Good for carnivores and vegetarians. Nice decor and good service. I had roast pork with grits and a bacon gravy. Yummy. Portions are a little bit small. Fine for most people and similar to other upscale restaurants, but if you are generally a big eater or going out after a big day outdoors, you might come away hungry. Prices are slightly less than what I'd expect for this quality of food.
(5)Jonathan B.
Gastropub with nice ambience and good service. Food was a bit of a mix: eggplant cannelloni inconsistently cooked through, and the sauce didn't delight; pumpkin cheesecake was poorly executed with gelatinous chunks and too-hard crust - but the burrata was superb and homemade kimchi delicious. Worth a visit if you're lucky enough to pick the right dishes.
(3)Fred W.
Great food very fresh. The lamb meatballs were great. the price was fair. really like the use of local ingredients.
(4)Kimbo B.
Hands down the best restaurant in the Roaring Fork Valley. Well priced to as not to deter you from trying, let's say, ALL of the apps/small plates, incredibly innovative with the menu, and absolutely delicious. My husband and I cook at home a lot and only go out every once in a while as it gets frustrating to pay lots of money for things you could do better at home. After our most recent visit to the Pullman where LITERALLY every bite was followed by an 'OMG', we decided that if we go out, let it always be the Pullman and we should order whatever we want. The last dinner we had there was $100 including tip - we order oysters, 3 starters, 1 main and 2 glasses of wine and 2 beers. The only thing I think it could use is some large rugs as it's pretty loud in there and slightly stark with the concrete floors.
(5)Rich G.
Good food, we experimented and tried some specials. Rabbit, duck, and the pulled pork. All were good. If you like rhubarb, they have the dessert for you. If you don't like tart desserts, pick something else.
(4)Mary G.
excellent place! just a gem of a restaurant with wonderful flavors, great staff and a great location. this is one of the places that you would find in new york or a great city with eclectic flavor and esthetics. i would go back here each and every time i was in glenwood!! i highly recommend this place to anyone who loves food! if you are more of a chain restaurant place, then perhaps you would not appreciate the ambiance and the concepts of the cuisine.! I had fried goat cheese donuts as well as the hanger steak and the rabbit! delish! nice job to the staff!
(5)Nicholas W.
Brought my in-laws to the pullman today for dinner (9-11-11) we drove up from Grand junction. the decor was inviting and clean. the service was poor. We had 3 different servers. one was the bartender. we were left to look over the menu for about 10 minutes in a nearly empty dining room. Our appetizers (squash blossoms) were overpriced but tasty. the first server told us she would bring bread that never came. our water glasses sat empty from the time the entree arrived until the end of the meal. my Lamb chops were undercooked, My in laws both ordered trout which was overcooked, and the asparagus on my mothers plate was almost raw, while the asparagus on my fathers plate was soggy and limp. when we complained about our poor service they comped the appetizers (a whopping 9 bucks) off our 120.00 meal (without drinks) and the excuse for poor service and poor quality food was that we came just before their shift change from brunch to dinner. (we arrived at 5 pm.) I would not recommend wasting your time or money here. I will never go back.
(1)Katie S.
When we walked in we were greeted by a cute little host and was quickly seated at the bar. We started with a nitro tap beer and the basil infused vodka with strawberry puree with balsamic vineagar. We had the pickled deviled eggs which were THE BOMB we got two more after. Then we had the lamb meatballs which were also delicious. Then we got rabbit tacos which I didn't care for but my boyfriend liked, they could've been a little warmer but the flavor was good. I finished with flat iron steak mid rare with fingerling potatoes which was so so so good. All in all experience and food was really good we will be back next time we go through.
(5)Adam D.
Awesome restaurant, period. Everything was delicious. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching Kelly work. She makes a mean mixed drink, especially the Whiskey Mule. She also recommended everything we ate. The appetizer was the special, short ribs over slaw and were out of this world. I had the chicken entree and my co-worker had the salmon. They were both delicious. I can't recommend this restaurant enough, not just for it's food, but also its staff and ambiance. It's a winner.
(5)Malisa D.
Bacon pickled eggs with bacon maple gastrique! The best damn eggs I've ever had!!!! Period. This was tied even with the Pierogis!!!! These truffle potato dumplings were unstoppable. I could seriously say I wouldn't mind eating these dumplings as much as I eat sushi on the reg. The Mac n cheese was good, but very rich. Kale salad was enormous and kalicious! Gnocchi I wasn't too impressed with, it was a tad bland for me. There was this one duck confit spread in a jar for your crostini's that I needed to get away from me bc it was so darn scrumptious I probably would eaten the whole jar. From what I remembered the mushroom bolognese was just alright. I think overall, the food is all very rich and heavy. So be prepared for a fest, and quite possibly a tummy ache after because you'll want to consume it all. The mixed drinks are all very tasteful and the bartenders really know how to make these just perfect! If you ever stop in Glenwood this is definitely a place you must eat at. You'll be happily ever after this meal.
(4)Amy T.
Glenwood Springs has stepped up the culinary game, and The Pullman is at the top. We ordered truffled house made pork rinds, roasted natural chicken with spring pea spätzle and buttered carrot sauce, slow roasted pork shoulder with collard green risotto, crispy pickled onions, and flourless chocolate cake. Everything was outstanding, but the chocolate cake was my favorite. This restaurant will become one of my go to places whenever I am in Glenwood.
(5)Meredith X.
After a challenging hike and a 2.5 hour long rafting adventure, we were wasting away and in dire need of refueling. A quick yelp, click, call, settled right into The Pullman. The place is your typical faddish, farm to table, cool restaurant. Open kitchen, tatted cooks, perhaps too hip of a spot for some dirty and worn out gals. In keeping with the healthy day, I ordered the roast chicken salad, the others salads or soups. The server, perceptive and mindful, asked us if we wanted any bread with our meal (me please, girl needs some carbs). The roast chicken salad was hearty and balanced, radish for color, peas sprinkled about, peanuts for texture, a tangy and acidic honey mustard dressing. Great service, solid food, they had a variety of other tempting options. If I wasn't so conscious, I definitely would've opted for the pierogis, side of grits and roasted fingerling potatoes (really I can probably survive on just one food group). Recommended after a long and tiring day in the mountains.
(4)Madison K.
Bread: delicious Decor: adorably trendy Burgers: ehhhhh The menu is catered to those with more adventurous tastebuds, so obviously the majority of my family opted to order the only thing they actually recognized: a burger. Sadly, despite its lovely presentation, all of our burgers were dry and rather bland. The bread they served beforehand was fresh and tasty, and somehow their water just seemed to be delicious. The families around us seemed to enjoy their meals, but none of them were having the burgers (which may explain that). I can't speak to the other meals at the Pullman, but I can warn that the burger will not be the juicy, delicious meal that you are hoping for.
(3)Becca S.
Outstanding service and food. Our server David was attentive, friendly, and all of his recommendations were on point. We had the lamb meatballs with hummus which were awesome, macaroni and cheese which was incredible, and the deviled eggs were the bomb! I had butternut squash carbonara which was rich and filling, gnocchi tots (awesome!), gnocchi salad, and for dessert we shared and tried the butterscotch boudini (AMAZING), sweet potato fritters (also amazing), and the cheesecake bread pudding which was interesting (lemony). Will definitely return to explore the rest of the evolving menu.
(5)Michael H.
Back again and it was even more wonderful. We had pork rinds, Crispy pork belly, heirloom tomato salad, palisade peach margaritas, the salmon, the panroasted Colorado trout, fingerling potatoes, and Colorado ports for dessert. Everything was fabulous and this is really a five-star restaurant that we prefer over the Denver location.
(5)Tony F.
Been to Trotter, French Laundry, Jules Vern and others over the years. The Pullman was best from start to finish. Plus didn't need to take out a second mortgage. #eatlocal #truffleporkrinds Mic drop.

Five stars, five stars, five stars! First visit: Went with my partner for Valentine's Day and were treated so well. It seems silly to be nervous about being treated well as a gay couple in 2015, but we still get hiccups. This place didn't give a vibe of non-inclusion at all! We had: - shishito peppers - kale salad - pierogis - chicken with brussels sprouts - smores boudini Every. Single. Item. Was. Perfect. The price was right on point - I'd call this upscale pub food in a complimentary way, for sure. This meal was perfect for a cool night in. Second visit: Went with my partner, friend, and mother-in-law. My MIL has some pretty serious food allergies so going to restaurants is always tough. Fortunately, we shared with our server and he took great care of us. Unfortunately for her, her first three decisions from the menu all had lemon in it and she's highly allergic. But, our server was great and would take the order, run to the kitchen, and get a breakdown from the chefs on what could and couldn't be cooked. We finally settled on - shishito peppers - scallops and pork belly - pierogis - mushroom bolognese - eggplant canelloni (x2) - butterscotch boudini Everything was DELICIOUS. It was semi-heavy food but completely spring-flavored, which was welcome because it got pretty cool the night we were there in early April. The mixed drinks were great and the wine was perfect, as well. They have a sign that states something about well-behaved kids being welcomed in the space, but there were some kids in the bathroom pretending to make...well...struggle-sounds (trying to be polite after whetting your whistles with the food review!) I didn't find it bad enough to report but I made sure to give a nice angry stare at the girls when I walked out. That'll teach 'em. If you're in Glenwood, go here. If you're in Denver, visit their sister restaurant - Harman's Eat & Drink. Tell the dessert chef Becca that Alison sent you and she'll treat you right.
(5)Eric C.
Food was good and so was the service. We had the chicken salad and gnocchi, and both were pretty good!
(4)elaine s.
Excellent food in a cozy mountain town. The Duck Fettucine was amazing, the broth was light and flavorful. The bacon pickled devil eggs tasted as amazing as it sounds. The first thing my husband noticed was the sign at the front door that read "We welcome well behaved children" then the bottom of the kids menu read "Dinning ettique encouraged" Obviously this place is serious about well behaved children, we made sure to keep our 4 year old in check! My son's PB&J was about 5 inches thick, the bread was soft and obviously made in house. Turns out the bread is made at their sister restaurant in Carbondale. I was impressed by the caliber of the restaurant in a small mountain town. I'd expect this level of cuisine in Aspen or Vail. The Pullman is a definite favorite!
(4)Anna S.
Me and my husband were visiting Glenwood Springs. I looked online where to go, and we chose Pullman. It was amazing food! I had heirloom tomato salad with plums and goat cheese and my husband had the kale salad with Parmesan, for entrées I had beef flat iron with potatoes, and my husband had clams. Delicious! Portions are pretty big too. Great service as well! Highly recommend!
(5)Rachel B.
This place is delicious! We had the duck confit salad, pork shoulder sandwich and the bacon deviled eggs. Everything was amazing, including the service. Michael, our server, was very nice and is an asset to the restaurant. We hope to return the next time we're in Glenwood Springs.
(5)D M.
We would rate it a zero if it was an option....because that's what we got. Zero. We walk through the door an hour before closing time, the place is turning a brisk business. No wait, maybe 80% sat. One server passed us by and asked for a second. The manager came up and asked if we had a reservation (party of 7). When we told HER no, she told us "we probably won't be able to get you service tonight." For those of you that don't understand, it means "I really don't feel like having you as a customer." We're local, we come to GC all the time, and all my fire department and army friends will be specifically instructed to never come here. A quick parse shows 65 one star reviews. How did they hide that? I see now how they got them.
(1)Dawn W.
I'm just gonna add my 5 stars to the rest. This is a well oiled machine all the staff works together in making sure customers have everything that is needed. I enjoyed the salmon & I loved it. Burger I'm sure is the best in town.
(5)Ondrej Z.
Food was OK, we had shrimp salad and quinoa salad. Shrimp looked like there were defrost and put on plate - no flavor. 13$ for salad- not impressed. Good service but waiter did not offer any exchange after I said that it was not tasty.
(2)A. S.
We LOVED this place. We were staying at the hotel a block away and I had been reading the reviews and bookmarked it to check out. We're foodies who are very picky and really enjoyed The Pullman for dinner. Our server Emilee was friendly and knowledgeable about the food. I think she was so great I called her my spirit animal at one point?! She had such an enthusiasm for the menu and great recommendations. We had a bunch of things to share including the deviled eggs, cocktails(Emilee recommended a gin/grapefruit one saying even people who don't love gin like me enjoy it, it was great!), bolognese special, gnocchi small plate and blueberry cornflake dessert. Very affordable for what they offer. We were shocked with how low our bill was. In comparison to places near where we live this was 1/2 the cost and just as delicious. We left there SO FULL but so happy. We only wish we had The Pullman back where we live.
(5)adrianna b.
Service was awesome. Food was delicious!! Hubs got the pierogi's, I got the eggplant. Both were so good. We also got the lamb meatballs for an appetizer. I Dont eat meat so they separated the hummus from the meatballs for us. Everything was delicious. Would definitely come back again.
(5)Joe D.
This place was awesome. This was my first time in Glenwood Springs...had an overnight stay for a business meeting in the AM. The service was great and location was awesome. Had a great view of the mountains and train station. I sat on the outdoor patio. I had the kale and pine nut salad and half dozen oysters to start. Then I had a side of Mac and Cheese followed by the Quayle. The Mac and Cheese was super heavy just like it should be and the toasted crutons were really good. I've never had Quayle before but I'm hooked. Roasted perfectly and the broth was amazing. I've I'm ever back I'll be stopping here again.
(5)Becky C.
We loved everything about this dinner! Everything we tried was amazing. The prices were very reasonable. Between our appetizers and entrees it appeared they got a little overwhelmed, and our server Tiffany apologized and took money off our bill for the long wait! She was amazing! What a gem to find in a mountain town! Definitely worth a visit if you're in Glenwood Springs!
(5)Jackie D.
Rated a top 10 restaurant by Esquire magazine, among restaurants from New York and Los Angeles. If you're visiting Glenwood Springs and are in need of good food, go here. Great dinner, good lunch, they even told us about their sister restaurant in Denver which I visited and was impressed by. Good for gluten free people, knowledgable. Great place for a special occasion dinner, or just a nice night out on the town. Love it, will always make a point to go there when in town.
(5)Liz V.
Came here for a Birthday lunch. Delicious! It has changed my mind about oysters on the half shell. I tried these before at other places and wasn't too sure I understood the appeal...but after trying the oysters here I am in love with them. I was delighted to have one of my favorite cheeses (Fontina) on my sandwich. The coco Manhattan cake was just the right amount of sweet and chocolate. My only recommendation for the management is to introduce another Colorado made liquor to the drink menu (Spring 44 Gin, made in Loveland CO). I can't wait to come back and try out their sister restaurant in Denver.
(5)Heather M.
An unexpected surprise in Glenwood, the Pullman is trendy, upscale but not too fancy, and serves up some delicious food. We came here for a family dinner full of picky eaters, but everyone left happy. Our waitress made some good drink and appetizer suggestions and we ended up with the housemade kimchee, bacon pickled deviled eggs, and crispy pork belly, plus some salads. I'd love to try out some more dishes here, and come back in the summer when it will be warm enough to enjoy the front patio. Definitely a nice find in Glenwood, plus a nice view of the thermal pools and train.
(4)Marlies D.
Food was delicious. I am in heaven. I had their soup special - spicy with the right amount of flavoring. Main course: steak salad for myself and steamed clans for my dinner companion. Both were fabulous. As a final their banana pudding. YUM!
(5)Aimee G.
Daaaaaayy'um! The Pullman delivers. Awesome attentive service without being hovering, deliciously crafted drinks, and an incredible assortment of menu items that makes it near impossible to order beyond one's appetite. We ended up splitting the butternut Squash salad and I dove into a delectable kim chee that made me weep with joy while we waiting for a burger and Cuban Sandwich. Here it is, two days later, and my husband is STILL wanting another Cuban from the Pullman. Everything we tasted - from the cocktail to the starter to the main - made me want to jump into the kitchen, put on an apron, and study under the chef (or bartender) until I mastered the delightful fusion of flavors and textures in each dish we had. Tragically, our visit was en route to a stay in Denver, but the hubby and I are talking about making a drive back to GS just so we can dine at the Pullman (and kill time at the hot springs between meals). The entire staff has their game ON - do not miss an opportunity to eat here!
(5)Shane B.
Excellent eats. I had the pulled pork sandwich. It's basically a Cuban. The bread it was on was flakey and tasty. The baked butternut squash salad was also delish.
(5)Cindy S.
Cool spot, very typical farm to table restaurant. I went a couple of weeks ago, for dinner the night before a big hike. I'm just not the type to be able to do a lot of drinking AND hiking so I skipped their beautiful cocktail menu and settled on a home squeezed lemonade. The lemonade was decent, my husband's wine was thin but had an ok flavor. We tried deviled eggs and truffled pork rinds for starters, both were just ok (If it's a date night with someone new, maybe skip the pork rinds. I ended up wearing mine, my husband kept finding pork rind specks in my hair and we saw at least 2 other people in a similar circumstance). The salmon cakes were probably the highlight of my meal. We chose the gnocchi and the pork shoulder special for our main courses. The pork shoulder could have been more tender but it was definitely good mixed in with the rest of the dish. The gnocchi was good but it was a little dense, and the chicken it came with was perfectly cooked. It also came with pea shoots though and I'm a pretty big sucker for pea shoots as a garnish so I'd probably order it again. Honestly this was a very fresh meal, with amazing waitstaff, in a pretty modern dining setting. Was it one of the best meals of my life? No, just a decent middle of the road meal. It could have used a dash more salt in just about everything but still a pretty option if you want a hip restaurant.
(3)Daniel P.
Food is good, but portions are too small and service is so slow. Came for lunch with my family. Ordered 3 "large plates". Waited 30 minutes for food to arrive even though not crowded. My son was still hungry so had to order more. Another 30 minute wait. Not recommended for families.
(3)Woody M.
Personable service. Tasty food choices: gnocchi, kale salad, perfect chicken, and blueberry crisp. Great location near the railroad station in old town Glenwood Springs. Perfect for strolling afterwards. Will definitely return!
(4)Jeff P.
Fantastic lunch and dinners. Third time here, and again, amazing food and great service. Bass entre is original and delicious. Perfect portion for a healthy and satisfying main course.
(5)Jeremy S.
The food was fresh and presented well but bland in taste. We had a late lunch. The service was quick and polite. The salmon and fingerling potato salad was the only bright spot. The fancy appearance did not make up for the minimal taste and the lunch price of $70 for 2 adults and 2 children.
(3)John K.
When you pick a spot for your anniversary dinner and you've never been there, you always wonder in the back of your mind if you made the right choice. I can honestly say that the Yelp & Tripadvisor ratings for The Pullman are well deserved! This place was fricken awesome! I made our reservations via Yelp - how easy is that?!? When we arrived, the place was packed but our table was waiting for us. Right off, things looked good - their beer list included Rye-zing Sun Saison from Dry Dock and Pumking form Southern Tier. I'm sure their beers change regularly, but having those two way out in GWS was huge to me! They also had bourbon drinks made with Carpano Antica sweet vermouth. Definitely a classy place! I ordered a Manhattan with Breck Bourbon & Carpano Antica. It was probably the best Manhattan I've ever had! For a small appetizer, I ordered a smoked deviled egg. OMG, so good that I had to have another. The bacon crumbles and a sweet vinegar type drizzle took it over the top. My wife had an amazing salad with gnocci. She actually licked the plate! For our meals, I ordered the pan roasted salmon with smoked mashed potatoes. I honestly can't remember what my wife ordered, but once again, everything was amazing! Service was exceptional as well. There's just nothing I can complain about. The Pullman kicked butt!
(5)John D.
This place is amazing. We came from out of town with three young kids and were worried that this place was too nice. Although it is a very nice restaurant everyone was very friendly and accommodating. There was also several tables full of families. The atmosphere was vibrant and friendly. Service was good and the food was amazing. My wife had the shrimp sandwich and I had the steak with wine sauce. We both commented that it was one of the better meals and restaurant experiences we have had for awhile. We left the Pullman full and in high spirits.
(5)Crista H.
Out on vacation with a group of 62 other friends for the week of skiing/boarding. Tonight we decided to try this place out because of the amazing reviews on YELP. So glad we did. My boyfriend and I with 4 other friends made 8:30pm reservations, showed 15min early, and they already had us ready to go. We get seated and was given John our waiter who was AMMMAAZZING. He was the apitimy of what an amazing server should be. On his toes, personable, funny, knows everything about the menu and can paint a picture of what it will look and taste like. Perfect! We get our appetizers, and man, all three couples appetizers were awesome! No one gave less than a 4star on anything they had. And then out came the main courses. Man! Did I think my appetizer was good, my main dish was amazing!! I had the mushroom bolognese and my boyfriend had the roasted pork belly. We both scraped our plates clean, it was so delicious. Lastly, we thought we were done, but decided to take a look at the dessert menu. We decided to order the flourless dark chocolate cake with coconut ice cream, hazelnut crumble and raspberry sauce. Yummm!! Great combo and last dish to top off the night.

Amazing service, good, drinks, and price. Nice spot for all tastes. Great for parties and romantic engagements as well.

Good food. The menu was a little off-putting, and the selections a little daring, but everything came out great and I would eat there again.
(4)Nora B.
The food here is AMAZING! The tuna salad sandwich was so good, they top it with a juicy tomato and baby greens, served on rye. The chips were light and not salty. The cider slaw is the best I've ever had. Great service and atmosphere. We were in for lunch, and sat at the bar. The only drawback would be that they allow folks with kids to sit in the bar area. Young kids, not teenagers.

It's a shame there's nothing to skate in Glenwood Springs, since that's the only real reason I'd drive out there from Denver, but next mountain trip I'll def go out of my way to eat here again. It was stellar. I'm kicking myself in the teeth for not rememberin' the whiskey cocktail I had-- I even when online to look at their menu to recommend but they list everything BUT drinks. Argh! Anyway, it has a dash of black sea salt and pepper in it. It was stellar. I could have stayed the night in Glenwood just to sip (read guzzle) these for an afternoon. I went with the pork belly and had zero complaints, and my she-beau had nettle fettuccini. That's pasta made out of weeds, yo! The kale's so fresh I took a double dose-- small salad app with pine nuts and raisins, then bacon-sprinkled with my meal. The cheesy grits... bangin'. *sigh* So stellar.

I always make it a point to eat here when I come to Glenwood from Denver. I've been here several times and really love the atmosphere. Usually the food is totally on mark. However, this last visit left a bit to be desired. A little too salty and a bit bland, not normal for the Pullman. The waitstaff is AMAZING. So very, very kind, gracious, and attentive. We walked in at 9:05 and we were seated with a smile. I highly recommend this place! Make sure to grab a cocktail or two as well!
(4)Matt J.
I had the roasted chicken which was amazing. The kimchi and fried green tomatoes were excellent as well. This is a a hidden gem for those looking for a great meal right off of I-70. Highly recommend it and will be back
(5)Mary H.
Super delicious. Huge array of items on the menu. Not over priced and quality of food is amazing. Drinks ate excellent as well. Great for kids as well.
(4)Jada B.
All I've had here so far is a steak salad - Great proportions of the greens to steak, steak was cooked and seasoned well; this salad made me remember how much I think blue cheese is god-awful, though. I'm almost certain I'll have more awesome stuff to say as I come here more often.
(4)Macy G.
My husband and I have been here twice now. Both times we had impeccable service. Our waiters we're knowledgable and nice. We preferred the dinner menu over the lunch menu. These are "foodie plates". If you need large servings of mediocre food - this is not the place for you. And please, always drink local craft beer!
(4)Amberley D.
This place is delightful. We were in on a Wednesday and it was slammed, but the hostess was super attentive and we ended up ponying up to the bar. The cocktails were delicious and unique. the food was delicious and our service was great, especially considering how busy they were. Can't wait to go back!
(5)Ashley R.
Great service great food! Great wine! All this and still a nice price and casual atmosphere! Where else can you get that? We also were trying to take our time to wait for the rain to let up to go back to the hot springs. Our waitress was patient and put a delay on our order just so we could! Special restaurant, town and community. Wish we lived in glenwood! my favorite part was the bacon pickled deviled eggs with maple jus!
(5)Rachel G.
Phenomenal food, fantastic service, great wine and local beer selections! Our server was one of the best we've had ANYWHERE in Colorado and extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She also gave us tips on other local eateries and shops since we were just in Glenwood Springs for the weekend. I loved my Portabella Sammy on house-made rye bread and the Hubs devoured his crispy shrimp Sammy on an artisan roll. Kiddos had chicken tenders and homemade lemonade. Dessert was a banana pudding with a dash of caramel-a perfect ending to a very satisfying lunch. We will definitely be back.
(5)Tammi D.
We went here to celebrate my birthday with our 2 1/2 year old and they catered to all of us, especially my son. My husband and I both went outside the box and tried something different and we were very pleased. Our waiter helped with our decisions and he didn't disappoint. We started with the duck nuggets and an oyster special they had that evening. For dinner we had the pierogis and miso pacific fish dinner. All was great!!! GREAT FOOD AND EVEN BETTER SERVICE!
(5)Kisua T.
Best place I've been to in town so far. Most of the dishes, I could not think of a way to improve. The duck nuggets (I would call them cakes) were superb; they were not at all greasy, and were beautifully paired with a mustard pear sauce. The seared scallops, bacon, and arugula was just as lovely. Made me very happy. Gnocchi salad was recommended by the bartender, however I found it the least enticing dish. Maybe it was just an off day for that plate. The squash was perfect, some of the mushrooms were over-seasoned, and the gnocchi was dry/over cooked. Those elements were hidden under the salad, and I had to pick through to get a balanced bite. There could have been double the cooked portion in with the salad. Mac and cheese was heaven. The plate was slurped clean in unabashed adoration. All in all a lovely place, though I can't see myself eating there often as the price is a bit high.

Amazing gem of a find tucked in Glenwood Springs, 10 min from Carbondale and probably 45 min from Aspen. I saw pictures and decided I had to eat here on my weekend stint in Aspen, and was shocked to find they were fully booked on Saturday. If you've ever been in Glenwood Springs the place is not exactly crowded - make sure to have a reservation just in case! We snagged a table on Sunday on Opentable, and this place has a cool modern vibe, and a menu full of items that were calling my name. Truffled housemade pork rinds? You had me at truffle. Overall the food was solid and menu was creative and delicious sounding. There were some things that were standout, while some that were good but mediocre. After service, quality, creativity and price this place deserves a solid 4. * Complimentary Bread (3 STARS): Meh. Kind of tasted like a small step up from grocery store bread. * Truffled housemade pork rinds ($4) - 3.5 STARS: This was super fresh, but I find fresh pork rinds to be too hard. It was good and fresh, but expect the rinds to have a big crunch. I wish there was more truffle. * Pierogis - truffle potato, caramelized onions, scallion crème fraiche ($12) - 5 STARS: Wow I had no idea pierogis could ever be 5 stars, but this one was holy moly delicious. Something about the texture of the noodle wrapper, or the rich smooth pureed tomatoes was just unbelievable and hard to describe. It's rich and savory and something everyone should order. * Slow roasted pork shoulder | pretzel spätzle, kraut, crispy onions, cider jus ($16) - 3 STARS: I was a little disappointed in this because it was a nice pork belly but needed to be cooked longer to tenderize. The meat and fat separated way too easily, and the spatzle tasted a little too soggy for my taste. The flavors were too all over the place but it was a nice concept. * Brussel sprout & bacon hash ($5) - 2 STARS: The brussels sprouts were chopped too small and the overall dish while it sounded amazing, tasted quite lackluster. The portion was also tiny, imagine a small scoop of brussels sprouts on your bread plate. * Warm Chocolate Cake: It looked waaay different on Yelp. The chocolate cake is now baked in a ramekin, and tastes a bit low quality to me due to the texture. I wanted it to be richer and smoother, and instead ate bites of the ice cream on top. I wish I opted for the apple ravioli.

So I spend quite a bit of time in Glenwood and have consistently overlooked this gem. Friends from Texas are staying with me currently and I just had to take them to Glenwood and we decided to stop by and try a new place. It was so great! The first impression was great, everyone was super friendly and helpful. They're super knowledgeable about their food as well as the happenings around town so we had some fun conversations. Then the food came, I ordered the grass-fed burger with the chips and it was excellent. Parking sucks, but it's worth finding a spot and eating here.
(5)J M.
Great food, great ambience and fun menu items. Love their seasonal small plates and salads. The ambience/open room can be a bit load, but nice setting and patio. Oh, house wine is fantastic and comes in cool beakers!
(4)Adrian phu P.
Delicious food and drinks! Had dinner here then came back a couple days later for brunch. Baked chicken, grass fed burger for dinner and steak and egg for brunch and everything is great.
(5)Amanda H.
Holy smokes. I was EXTREMELY pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food at this place. We went for our anniversary, and we wanted to avoid a "hole in the wall" restaurant for a change (I'm a huge fan of those too haha). I am very thankful for the yelpers who sent me in the right direction!! We originally had a reservation, but really didn't need one. We went on a Saturday night and were promptly seated on the patio and greeted by a very friendly server. We started with the shishito peppers with coconut peanut sauce (okay.... I would drink this sauce from a straw if it were socially acceptable) and they were absolutely incredible! For the faint of heart; they weren't too spicy either. I ordered the truffle potato pierogies and let me tell you.... my mouth is watering just thinking about those puppies. They were topped with caramelized onions and soaked in a scallion broth. They were cooked to perfection and I can confidently say they are in the top 5 most delicious plates I've been lucky enough to taste. READ: if you don't order these and you're a foodie, you haven't lived life to the fullest. My boyfriend got the top sirloin which was great. It wasn't the absolute best I've tasted in my life, but it was very good for the price. The thing that impressed me the most is the green goddess sauce on the potatoes-- it's a lemon-y, herb-y combination of deliciousness. Even if you don't order this plate, I would ask for a side of this sauce JUST because. We ordered a glass of malbec with dinner and a few craft beers before and our total was only $70. The quality of this food far surpasses what we had to pay for it, and that is one of my favorite aspects of a nice restaurant. This place rocks. Don't hesitate. It's a must-eat.
(5)Nicole B.
A meat lovers paradise in the mountains but if your a vegetation don't even think about it. Although our friend who is Bergen found a few items and they fried our shishito peppers in clean oil, so they indeed tried to please.. And it was lovely, best cooked chicken juicy plump and full of mouth caressing butter. Drink selection was really fun and yummy. Would go back every time.
(5)Chris S.
Hands down, wonderful food and solid service. It'd be shocked to find anyone who wouldn't enjoy a meal here. We found this on YELP while in town and were impressed with the food pictures we saw. Sure enough, the food tasted as good as it looked. We started with a salad and tomato soup and were thrilled to find everything made by hand. What a difference in taste. The soup was incredible and the salad had a lite vinaigrette and some of the freshest greens you'll find. As for my buddy's sirloin, he was impressed. It was packed with flavor and a good slab. I opted for the Colorado bass, which is farm raised and it was fair, slightly fishy, but I'd had bass many times prior and this chef makes it taste better than it does, normally. Come here for a great meal that will cost you more than you might want to buy, but yields dividens in flavor.
(4)Kimberly H.
The Pullman is run by some great folks who are super friendly and knowledgeable about fine cuisine. If you are a fan of unique and creative dishes, The Pullman is a great option for you in downtown Glenwood.
(4)Tony P.
We came to Glenwood Springs for vacation. We chose The Pullman based on other reviews after calling to make sure they had a children's menu. The place is loud! but we were able to sit against a wall which helped. They didn't get 5 stars because of service. We asked if we could substitute the child's dessert with a combo of child fries and a child veggie. In the end, we were charged for a whole side order of fries. And never offered the child's dessert that came with his meal. Also, we had to constantly ask for water refills. Also, the oysters I ordered were fishy. Nothing was really done about it. But then again, I should know better, we're in land locked Colorado. However, the food was Great! We had the Duck Nuggets which were really great and flavorful. Followed by a warm spinach salad with duck confeit. we wished the duck had a tad more flavor, but you knew you had it because there were big chunks of it in the salad. Then we had the pork chop. truly a wonderfully prepared cut of meat. It was tender and juicy. We also enjoyed the wine soaked cabbage and puree of pears, I think. But the veggies over powered the chop. But individually, both pieces of the dish were wonderful. Truly, a class above the rest of Glenwood Springs! Long live The Pullman! I hope they are still there next time we visit!

After a challenging hike and a 2.5 hour long rafting adventure, we were wasting away and in dire need of refueling. A quick yelp, click, call, settled right into The Pullman. The place is your typical faddish, farm to table, cool restaurant. Open kitchen, tatted cooks, perhaps too hip of a spot for some dirty and worn out gals. In keeping with the healthy day, I ordered the roast chicken salad, the others salads or soups. The server, perceptive and mindful, asked us if we wanted any bread with our meal (me please, girl needs some carbs). The roast chicken salad was hearty and balanced, radish for color, peas sprinkled about, peanuts for texture, a tangy and acidic honey mustard dressing. Great service, solid food, they had a variety of other tempting options. If I wasn't so conscious, I definitely would've opted for the pierogis, side of grits and roasted fingerling potatoes (really I can probably survive on just one food group). Recommended after a long and tiring day in the mountains.
(4)Madison K.
Bread: delicious Decor: adorably trendy Burgers: ehhhhh The menu is catered to those with more adventurous tastebuds, so obviously the majority of my family opted to order the only thing they actually recognized: a burger. Sadly, despite its lovely presentation, all of our burgers were dry and rather bland. The bread they served beforehand was fresh and tasty, and somehow their water just seemed to be delicious. The families around us seemed to enjoy their meals, but none of them were having the burgers (which may explain that). I can't speak to the other meals at the Pullman, but I can warn that the burger will not be the juicy, delicious meal that you are hoping for.
(3)Becca S.
Outstanding service and food. Our server David was attentive, friendly, and all of his recommendations were on point. We had the lamb meatballs with hummus which were awesome, macaroni and cheese which was incredible, and the deviled eggs were the bomb! I had butternut squash carbonara which was rich and filling, gnocchi tots (awesome!), gnocchi salad, and for dessert we shared and tried the butterscotch boudini (AMAZING), sweet potato fritters (also amazing), and the cheesecake bread pudding which was interesting (lemony). Will definitely return to explore the rest of the evolving menu.
(5)Tyler H.
Avoid this garbage place!! Waitresses are so full of themselves, the food was good but when I pay 20-25 dollars for a plate of food I want food. The portions are enough to feed a toddler. On top of it is outrageous they charge $10 for a lemon drop drink. Of course they didn't tell us that then I complained how that is bullshit to pay that much for 3 ounce drink. They could care less of course. Have my zero dollar tip never going to this outrageous place ever again.
(1)Hank C.
They would not even bother with taking 8 adults and 4 children. The hostess was, at least straight (no pun) and blunt. I guess out money is no good here. Bummer
(1)Darren G.
Way better priced than Aspen. Burger was good with nice caramelized onions. Duck confit salad also good, prunes elevated it. Decent enough, didn't think it was anything special though. They have a pig statue in there, like Amada in Philadelphia.
(3)Christian M.
What a terrible experience. If you're the kind of person who appreciates prompt and friendly service, healthful and delicious food, and a clean and modern atmosphere, then I guess this is where you should be heading. Personally, I was offended by the perfectly prepared and presented steak salad which included a smattering of fries that added a brilliantly delightful touch of salt and starch to the already flavorful and tender steak and well seasoned salad. I mean really, what kind of restaurant finds GREAT people and gives them GREAT training and then pairs them with GREAT managers? Are they just trying to put everyone else out of business? It's shameful really. That's right Pullman, you should be ashamed. The duck meatballs over polenta were both delicious and original. The traditionally-inspired pierogis with carmelized onions and what seemed like a twist of pear LITERALLY left me licking the plate. Is that really how you treat people? Force them into a lifetime of dreaming of your food and service? Relishing licking the last bits of deliciousness off the plate long after it started being super awkward? Ruin every restaurant experience they've ever had before in one hour of sheer gastro-bliss that makes it impossible for any other place to compare? Fine. Well if that's how your'e going to be then so be it. I will REFUSE to ever again visit your establishment with its light and airy open kitchen and incredible staff and food. The only exception I'll make is if we happen to be in, near, or planning to go within 300 miles of Glenwood Springs again. So you can take your fancy-tasting yet deliciously affordable menu and your well-trained and thoughtful wait staff and you can keep them. We'll be over here enjoying sub par food and service by comparison at every place we used to love. Sincerely, Angrily Delighted PS: As far as I'm concerned the final straw was Rick and Kirby buying us dessert when they found out that we'd been in an accident. ARE YOU PEOPLE EVEN HUMAN?! I'm beginning to wonder whether this is really an alien plot to ruin our existing human standards for restaurant experiences. If so, know this: I'm on to you, and I'll be back. Especially if you still have the pear crisp with blue cheese ice cream. Bastards.
(5)C R.
Had dinner twice over 3 days and this is definitely one of the best restaurants we have visited in the west. The menu is eclectic and thoughtful, providing an experience you would not expect in a town of about 10,000. The atmosphere is a comfortable unpretentious urban vibe that while bustling and busy provides for a fun dinner experience. From appetizer to desert, along with the wine and beer selection (most everything locally sourced) we had a tantalizingly excellent culinary experience. The truffled pork rinds were a fun start to each meal along with the kimchee (this would have been ordinary, but the toasted nuts in the kimchee put the flavor over the top and memorable). Dinner entree standouts were the mushroom Bolognese, pork belly special and a very delightful summer vegetable cianfotta. All of the flavors and seasonings were right on and didn't need any help at the table. One meal, we finished with a 4-way shared blueberry crisp with sweet corn ice cream that was OMG over the top (next time if it is on the menu, we order 4). As a matter of a little hint, look into Phat Thai and Town also part of the family. Neither of those will disappoint either.

We were in Glenwood Springs for a little vacation and the Pullman had the best reviews online, so why wouldn't we try it out. We called ahead to reserve a table for 4 and we arrived a little early to grab a drink from the bar. The problem was the bartender didn't acknowledge my presence. So I decided to walk around to the other side of the bar closer to the server station. Nope, still nothing...No big deal, we got our table and I figured I would just order some wine with dinner. Our server greeted us after 5 minutes of waiting. Our table ordered a round of house wine and he was off to collect our drinks. 5 minutes later our server came back and informed us they were out of the wine that we ordered. Fine, no big deal, we ordered a bottle and started looking over the menu. Our server showed up 5 minutes later with the bottle of wine and we placed our order. For dinner we ordered two of the two of the bacon pickled eggs, a small side salad, mach and cheese with a side of chicken and the smoked chicken and sage gnudi. The eggs were awesome, each egg was cut in 1/2, so if you expected a full egg you should order more. My wife liked the mac & cheese, actually she loved it. The problem was the server forgot her chicken. After we reminded him, he apologized and ran off to order the side. About 15 minutes later he came back to check in on us and we had to remind him of the chicken breast again. Of course he ran off and got it and apologized again. Apparently the chicken was great. My chicken and sage gnudi was fantastic, great well rounded flavors. I recommend this dish if you're not really hungry. After we finished our meal our server brought us our check and we immediately put our cards in the "folder" so we could get out of there. By this time the bad service was really catching up to me. I tried to get the servers attention but he was too busy chatting with people at all his tables. It took him about 15 minutes to come back to us so we can pay out. If the Pullman can do a better job training there servers they would have a wonderful restaurant. Until then I'm going to recommend the Glenwood Canyon Brewing Co. They were awesome.
(2)Geri L.
Did not waste to stop eating! Started with soup of the day, Paella, outstanding. Next perigie, wow. On to chicken with gnocchi .yum. Staff was friendly and good. Would like to come back and continue with the menu.
(5)Samantha H.
My Cubano was just okay, friends chicken sandwich was great. Lots of vinegar in food including salad and pickles.
(3)Heather M.
Excellent food! I had the burger, which was excellent and shared the chips and blue cheese. The food is great, the service is awesome, and the outdoor patio was perfect for a Friday night after working all day! We did not go inside, but will next time!
(4)Jim A.
If I could give 6 stars, I would. We found The Pullman based on the excellent Yelp reviews, and after checking out the local hot spring, we decided to check it out... Could not be happier that we did. Our server was warm and friendly, answering our silly questions about beer and some of the more obscure menu items. I went for the soup of the day and my girlfriend went for the butternut squash salad--both had us stealing mouthfuls from the other's plates. I went for the pork belly, which was hands down the best I've ever had. The steel cut oats were killed, and whatever sauce they used pulled everything together with its plummy tanginess. My lady had the mac and cheese, which she also loved. She prefers sharper cheeses in her mac and cheeses and this definitely delivered. We also split a side of the gnocchi bites, which were almost addicting. Definitely recommended. Even though we were stuffed, we had to try the delicious pear crisp with blue cheese ice cream, with the port finish. I'm so, so glad we did. So yeah--unless you like great service, world class New American, and the most relaxing atmosphere you can ask for, I'd avoid at all costs ;)
(5)Calarri C.
This place is fantastic! I came in with my family for a casual dinner. It was a bit fancier than we anticipated, but it was really tasty. My husband ordered pierogies which were outstanding and I ordered the pasta with duck which was also very flavorful. The drinks were especially great. My husband had the left hand luke and I had the dancing dog. Yummy!
(5)Lisa F.
Once again, yelpers know their food! Was driving through and stopped for lunch and had the ginger salmon cake sandwich. Just sounds yummy, doesn't it...and it was!!! Soooooooo good! The toppings were creative and serving it on a delicious english muffin is a great idea. I would eat here weekly if I lived in the area...and like others have mentioned, the service was FANTASTIC. You are very lucky Glenwood Springs, very lucky!
(5)Maz M.
Pretty delicious spot in Glenwood Springs. Has a great patio to take advantage of in the summer months and the food here is great. Service was what you would expect of a higher end place. Overall very pleased and would be happy to dine here again!
(4)Sasha S.
The environment is comfortable and friendly, the service was friendly and fast. The food was great. I can't say anything bad about this place it's awesome go there
(5)Chris T.
Foodies traveling down the I70 corridor this is a must stop. Local Colorado bass dish was impressive. Creamy, crunchy, salty(not overly) and savory. Staff totally on it with GF and DF food allergies. Great setting in old town glenwood .
(4)C B.
Service was excellent. Our waiter was enthusiastic about the menu and provided a perfect balance of checking on us and chatting without ever being intrusive. The food was amazing! I'm still dreaming about the slow roasted pork belly with white cheddar grits. They had a good beer selection with only Colorado beers, including some specialty releases I hadn't tried before. Prices were very reasonable given the quality. We spent approximately $80 for three beers, an appetizer and two entrees. I'm looking forward to our next visit!
(5)Peter S.
Just had The Pullman for the second time. I seriously can't wait to go back! Awesome location across from train tracks in DT Glenwood Springs. Lamb nuggets OK, not blow your mind good. Not a lot of meat, breaded. Oysters weren't prepared by somebody who knew how to do oysters! Came dried out, attached to the shell, no brine. Eeks. Mussels were beautiful. Amazing. Romaine and chicken salad was really amazing. Charred romaine, extra generous when I said I wanted beaucoup anchovies. Yay! Shishito's definitely the best we've ever had. The coconut mint peanut sauce was great - they were sprinkled with sesame seeds and roasted peanuts. Husband had burger one time - found it average. We also had the shrimp with avocado mousse - lovely. Light and delicious. My husband has tried many cocktails and has loved all of them - not too sweet very very fresh tasting. We can't wait to keep going - it seems like they're awesome at updating menu!!!
(4)Joe A.
Believe the reviews. About as perfect of a meal a foodie will find anywhere. This place would compete with the best in any major metropolitan market. We make it an annual pilgrimage here while visiting the hot springs, but the food here is worth the 1 hr drive from Vail.
(5)R L.
Great food, great service. Everything is made from the scratch and willing to accommodate for dietary needs. And that is always an extra start!
(5)Brandon A.
For Glenwood Springs, in the middle of the mountains, I'm impressed with the spectrum of fresh vegetables and flavors. The Pierogis with truffle potato was the tables top choice. Excited to go back and explore the menu!
(4)Jonathan H.
The food here was great. The trout was awesome and so was the chicken! The best part of this place was the waitstaff though. Extremely personable, funny and I would return for them even if the food wasn't good (but it was)!
(5)M P.
This was our first time to the Pullman after reading the Yelp reviews. Being from the east coast, I am not easily impressed by food here in Colorado, but this may have been one of the best meals I have had, and I have been to every restaurant from the Brown Palace to Colfax staples. We are a big fan of handmade drinks and flavorful food and this place has both! I had the duck fettuccine and he had the pork loin. WOW! The staff from the hostess, to the bartender, to the server was excellent! I would make a trip back from Denver to Glenwood just for the food! We are ecstatic to hear they own a restaurant here in Denver. A must try and with two rounds of drinks, an appetizer, meals, and irish coffee to follow, all under $100.00 for two!
(5)Mike W.
My wife and I went here for dinner after hitting a few other places for happy hour. I wish i had saved all the room for the pullman. Everything about it was top notch. We had a great server who made some awesome recommendations and was so pleasant that she even sat down with us to talk about the local hot springs. We had the pork belly tacos- Good but not great the thai mussels (which i was a little hesitant to order in Colorado) - excellent sauce and Spicy sausage. I would get these as an app next time because there were so many other delicious things to try. It was a memorable dinner in a forgettable town.
(5)Erin T.
This place blew me away. I simply wasn't expecting such an excellent restaurant in Glenwood Springs. The handmade gnocchi with mushrooms and squash along with arugula was one of the best small dishes I've tasted in ages. The gnocchi was perfectly seasoned, and firm not mushy. The mushrooms were the best available. I didn't see how the Sea Bass with pineapple salsa and rice could compete. But it did. It had a beautiful kick and the fish itself was seasoned so I didn't have to rely on dipping the fish into the salsa. The salted caramel pudding had seasoned salt in it--the real deal. It was very interesting. By 7:15 there were no tables and the bar was full on a Saturday night. I had a 5:30 reservation near the window to look at the river. I did not feel uncomfortable at all dining alone. And the prices would be double in Denver.

Years ago we couldn't find a stellar culinary experience in Glenwood, and now that has changed. The Pullman is the new star of Main Street. We were looking for a special place for a birthday dinner and the Pullman did not disappoint. We were greeted by super perky and friendly host who watered and seated us quickly. When we asked to move outside she quickly obliged us without drama. It was a little loud indoors but outside we were quite comfortable and it was easy to converse, plus the people watching along the Glenwood Strip at tourist peak is quite entertaining. Our waiter was easily one of the finest waiters I have ever had, funny, attentive, opinionated in all the right ways and passionate about the food he was serving..score. The food is inspired and delicious. I thought it could have used just a tad more salt, but fantastic nonetheless. Fresh heirloom tomato and plum salad was stellar and their homemade sourdough bread with its crispy crust is amazing. We all agreed it was a fine fine meal, save room for dessert. Great meal, inspired, fresh and friendly! Five stars hands down.

2nd visit - Another 5 stars. One of our favorite places and they seem to do everything well. Do not miss this place if in Glenwood Springs ! Cheers -

The Pullman was an awesome place for lunch. The ambiance was great and the portions were just right. I had the Ruben with the cole slaw and it was great! It was reasonably priced, especially for the quality of food. Will definitely be back!
(5)Michelle R.
From the pre dinner cocktails to the last bite, this dinner was fabulous. Had to wait for a table, but we were able to grab a seat at the bar and order one of their recommended cocktails from an incredibly talented bar tender. We waited for only a few minutes and were served warm bread and butter and ordered the crab cakes for an appetizer. We ordered the mussels and pirogies as our meals, and wished we could have sampled everything on the menu because of the flavor combinations they offered. We will definitely be back.
(5)Toasty R.
Due to our lifestyle, my family and I dine out a lot--often at really nice establishments. So when we did a daytrip to Glenwood Springs, we headed for The Pullman due to the great reviews and foodie pics. When we entered at lunchtime, the first thing I noticed was a sign near the door that said "well-behaved children" were welcome. I just shrugged it off as our two kids are excellent at restaurants because they've been doing fine dining their whole lives. It took the host awhile to notice us and then even though the restaurant wasn't very full, we were seated at the worst table. "Okay, no biggie," I thought. They gave us menus, which didn't include kids menus. "Okay, maybe they don't have a kids menu." Again, it took awhile for anyone to come to the table after that and it was a gentleman that informed us that he'd get our drinks, but he wasn't our server. As we were on vacation, I let the kids order a fountain drink and they chose rootbeer. I got up and went to the bathroom---passing yet another sign disparaging children---(okay, we get it!!!!) and returned to find bottles of rootbeer at the table. Annoying, those weren't what we ordered. Finally, our server showed up and we asked if they had a kids menu only to find that their $9 kids meals only came with milk/juice (which usually would be great!), but now we'd need to fork out another $3 per kid for a drink. "Okay, fine, we'll just deal with it. $12 kids meals!" Oh....if things hadn't gotten worse from there.... After a long wait, my mac and cheese "entree" came and it was basically 1/2 cup of elbow pasta with guyere and a few breadcrumbs. $9 for that and I was still hungry. (I swear I don't eat much!) I don't mind paying that--even more--if it's wonderful, but it wasn't! The kids meals were also blah and the fries included with their meals and my husband's sandwich were something I could get at a fast food location. Again, this was all done with the bartender as our server--don't even get me started on how terrible our cocktails were-- what a bi-polar space cadet this woman was. Perhaps the worst service I've had in 2014. I'm just disappointed. The reviews hinted at something great and all we got was a big check for crappy food and service. The brewing company in town was much better and a better value for the money. Maybe all the great reviews are because in Glenwood Springs you can get away with this crap, but even my children could tell you that even if you gave them "a puppy and caffeine" like one of your snarky signs says, they wouldn't want to suffer through another heartless meal at The Pullman!

Easily one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Food was superb and the service matched that standard. The pickled deviled eggs are a must! Joy was our main server but the support service was excellent as well. Can't wait to go back.

I used to love this place. Things have gone down hill since my last review. The house wine is listed at $3 but really it's $3 per 100mls. So if you order a glass you'll get a $9 glass of house wine. Salad was overly salty and I can't even address all the other issues with the food and service. My wine glass was so dirty and when I said something, I was met with a huff. We had the worst waiter in the world. Is that even possible? Yes, it is. He had an attention span of a 2 year old. I almost think he has developmental issues. As a person who has worked with preschooler, I felt empathy but just not sure if he was appropriate to work with the public. I know that other patrons felt the same way as we all looked at each other puzzled as he zoomed from table to table, rarely to finish a sentence or hear the rest of mine. I have also worked in restaurant in front of the house and I would have him working as a busser. When I brought up the issue with the wine pricing he just argued with me like a 2 year old. This is NOT the Pullman I met 3 years ago.

Probably the best place in Glenwood Springs! Love the ambience, waitstaff, and most of all the food. The pickled deviled eggs were yummy. The pork belly salad was amazing. I ordered the curry mussels served with a large slab of pork rind. That was an epic dish. If you love spice, seafood, and texture this dish is for you. My boyfriend ordered the special of day which was venison chops. He had it prepared medium-rare and it came out a little tough but he inhaled it. In addition, we ordered the beef risotto and that was okay, so don't waste your money on that dish. However, the best dish (hands down) was the deep friend apple ravioli with gingerbread ice cream! That was bomb. Love the crunchy texture of the ravioli with the warm apple filling and to finished it off with the gingerbread ice cream was the icing on the top. What a sweet way to celebrate the holidays. On my books for great Colorado restaurants.

I wish I frequented the city of Glenwood Springs more because I would love to be a regular at The Pullman. Thanks to reviews by fellow Yelpers, a bridal party and I picked this place for a nice dinner on the first night of a bachelorette weekend. The bride is pretty picky when it comes to food, so we wanted an American restaurant with something for everyone, especially her. The menu uses big, fancy words, but a diner should not be worried - everything on the menu is delicious (well, at least what we tried). I had the shoulder filet, with roasted garlic bacon mash, chimichurri and a red wine sauce. It was sooo tender and flavorful. After munching on bread and eating all the mashed potatoes, though, I couldn't finish the steak so took home the leftovers. Others in my group had the roasted chicken, oysters, steak salad and gnocchi. All the plates were decent size, so we had more than enough food. Service has a lot of weight with me, so I was happy to have a great experience with all the staff. The hostess was very accommodating to reschedule our previously made reservation. And our waiter was patient when we asked to hear about menu items and for suggestions on meat temperature. He also humored our bachelorette party antics, even surprising the bride with a penis straw for her beer. i don't remember his name, but he was great.

What a great find! Unique, delicious food and cocktails at a great price. We will be back every time we're in Glenwood Springs!
(5)Chad M.
Just finishing lunch here. Good food. Fries were real good. Solid service, although the waiter forgot to get me the extra catsup and I had to ask again. My wife said her food was "great", so she would probably give 5 stars. I'm sticking with 4. Real good, I would eat here again.
(4)Tracy H.
No need to contemplate where to eat dinner. Just eat here. Trust me. Trust Yelp. Seriously. I got the trout and the mister got some BBQ dish that we can't remember exactly for the life of us. I also got the lobster bisque cappuccino which was delicious. More spicy than creamy. All of the flavors and textures complemented each other perfectly. We had the saison from Trinity brewing which rocked our socks off! Our waitress was amazing and really fun. Cody? Cory? I feel so bad that I forgot her name, because she helped make it a great experience.
(5)Adam H.
Our whole trip to Glenwood Springs was a surprise. I didn't realize how great of a town this is and the Pullman was a big factor in making me think this. The food here is creative and well prepared. With a good mix of healthy options and indulgences. We ended up sharing the fish dish and the mussels. Both were excellent. The drink menu had some really creative options also. I ended up having a mule with Fernet that was amazing. The only thing that was better than the food was the service. Overall, great experience.
(5)Richard R.
Great find! Perfect location across from the train station. Outstanding comfort cuisine prepared in a special way. Agree with the writers of Esquire Magazine who in 2011 named it one of the top new restaurants in the U.S. by saying "everything on the menu will tempt you"
(5)Foodie G.
Absolutely wonderful! I had the pork belly dish for dinner which was soooooo good. The maple glaze on it is amazing. My husband had the eggplant dish which had a very tasty tomato sauce on it. For dessert we shared the spiced cake with cream cheese ice cream. The ambiance is trendy. Very nice drink list. Very impressed overall.
(5)William I.
Getting greeted quickly at the door by a pretty girl with a smile is a great start ;) the waiter was very friendly and warm. Took our order quickly. I ordered a Cuban sand which and my babe ordered a grill chicken. Don't really have to wait to leave a review. By the looks of everything, I know it's going to be good.
(5)Diana A.
The food was delicious but the serving sizes were just so small compared to the price. The staff was super friendly and helpful and a great place for families. I'd go again but I'd probably get an appetizer too so I didn't leave hungry lol
(4)Sean S.
When restaurants are nice, they usually are expensive. As in: dishes cost more, and there is less food. They actually have a lot of food. But it was good as well. The chicken was very tender (even the breast). The soup of the day was green apple. It was good until I realized that this is like apple sauce. Should that detract? I don't know. Depends on how you feel when you pay a lot of money for something that isn't that expensive.
(4)Tammi D.
We went here to celebrate my birthday with our 2 1/2 year old and they catered to all of us, especially my son. My husband and I both went outside the box and tried something different and we were very pleased. Our waiter helped with our decisions and he didn't disappoint. We started with the duck nuggets and an oyster special they had that evening. For dinner we had the pierogis and miso pacific fish dinner. All was great!!! GREAT FOOD AND EVEN BETTER SERVICE!
(5)Kisua T.
Best place I've been to in town so far. Most of the dishes, I could not think of a way to improve. The duck nuggets (I would call them cakes) were superb; they were not at all greasy, and were beautifully paired with a mustard pear sauce. The seared scallops, bacon, and arugula was just as lovely. Made me very happy. Gnocchi salad was recommended by the bartender, however I found it the least enticing dish. Maybe it was just an off day for that plate. The squash was perfect, some of the mushrooms were over-seasoned, and the gnocchi was dry/over cooked. Those elements were hidden under the salad, and I had to pick through to get a balanced bite. There could have been double the cooked portion in with the salad. Mac and cheese was heaven. The plate was slurped clean in unabashed adoration. All in all a lovely place, though I can't see myself eating there often as the price is a bit high.

We came to Glenwood Springs for vacation. We chose The Pullman based on other reviews after calling to make sure they had a children's menu. The place is loud! but we were able to sit against a wall which helped. They didn't get 5 stars because of service. We asked if we could substitute the child's dessert with a combo of child fries and a child veggie. In the end, we were charged for a whole side order of fries. And never offered the child's dessert that came with his meal. Also, we had to constantly ask for water refills. Also, the oysters I ordered were fishy. Nothing was really done about it. But then again, I should know better, we're in land locked Colorado. However, the food was Great! We had the Duck Nuggets which were really great and flavorful. Followed by a warm spinach salad with duck confeit. we wished the duck had a tad more flavor, but you knew you had it because there were big chunks of it in the salad. Then we had the pork chop. truly a wonderfully prepared cut of meat. It was tender and juicy. We also enjoyed the wine soaked cabbage and puree of pears, I think. But the veggies over powered the chop. But individually, both pieces of the dish were wonderful. Truly, a class above the rest of Glenwood Springs! Long live The Pullman! I hope they are still there next time we visit!
(4)Pat H.
Sat outside as the evening sun set. Would have loved to try more things--so much sounded good. We ordered the special which was braised duck over green linguini with peas, pea tendrils, etc. This description does not do it justice; it was very unusual and nice. Also seared bass over mashed potatoes with an olive tapenade. House red was very drinkable and a very generous portion. Definitely would like to go back.
(4)Sarah P.
Amazing amazing amazing!!! The food was beyond steller and couldn't have asked for a better waitress!! Definitely worth the pretty penny we spent here! I definitely recommend the fried pork rinds.
(5)Chuck B.
Fantastic restaurant! Very kind and friendly staff, absolutely delicious eats. The staff is exceptional and well managed. Their beer selections are also very nice. Highly recommended.
(5)Eric T.
To be avoided! Made a reservation, showed up slightly early. Sat and watched 4 waiters walk past us without a word for 30 minutes. Not a "we will be right with you." Nothing! We got up and left. We will not be back and suggest you avoid them to.
(1)Danielle B.
This place is just amazing. Every experience has been good if not great. Service is thoughtful. Food is so tasty. Drinks are always spot on.... how could you not love it! Fisher kills it again!!! The rillettes and mussels- hands down amazing!!!
(5)Anna N.
One of the best restaurants in Glenwood Springs. Awesome beer selection and inventive food options. Having tried most of the menu (this is our go-to lunch spot), you can't go wrong. Be sure to save room for dessert!
(5)Britt D.
A friend told me about this amazing place kitty-corner from the Amtrak station, and I made a mental note to try it the next time I found myself out this way. We arrived around 7:30pm on a Saturday sans reservations, and were told the wait would be 45 min to an hour. We scored seats at the bar and ended up just ordering dinner from the bar. The wait for a table ended up only being around 20 minutes, but we stayed at our cozy bar seats, enjoying some fun side conversation with the bartenders and patrons. I started with the gnocchi salad...wicked strange combination of sauteed gnocchi with asparagus and mushrooms, topped with a cold mixed green salad. But it worked excellently! For dinner I had the cianfotta - an Italian vegetable soup in a tasty parmasean broth topped with a green pesto. This was fantastically delicious and completely hit the spot on a cool summer eve. Boyfriend went with the salmon dish, and the chef made special accomodations since he's allergic to butter. Perfectly cooked and still tasty without the butter. We ended the meal with the tart cherry crisp and a strawberry rhubarb sorbet. I will ABSOLUTELY be back here - great service, great conversation, exciting menu, and excellent food. Kudos to the Pullman!
(5)Rebecca P.
Great location, great food, good prices, and good service. We like eating fresh, local food, and this restaurant makes exactly that.
(5)Google U.
food was great and inspired cocktails were amazing and were the best ive had in glenwood springs. and i had a lot of bad cocktails while i was in glenwood springs. steak salad was amazing. i got it without blue cheese and the waitress suggested a different dressing that was delicious.
(5)Andrea C.
This was my second time dining at The Pullman and both times were great. If I could just rate our server Emilee I would have given 5 stars. The Gnudi with chicken and sage took it down a star....It had no flavor and the chicken tasted old. Everything else was great and especially noteworthy was the salad with steak, blue cheese, caramelized onions and bacon... I especially miss the stout chocolate cake....why would you take that off the menu?
(4)J D.
340+ reviews on yelp with 4.5 stars. Wow. This place seemed like a must try. Unfortunately the service did not match the cuisine. This place has an easy atmosphere with a decent wine list, and excellent fresh menu options at a decent price. Our server "Cora" was inexperienced with a slight attitude. She unfortunately wrecked what could have been a really amazing experience at a local Glenwood Springs restaurant with a chef or kitchen staff who seems to know what they are doing. We ordered a small dish of olives and a couple of salads to start. She brought those out "late" with our kids (ages 9 and 11- not super young) main entrees, and then piled on our dinners shortly after that. Her inexperience with the timing of placing orders was bright and clear. (It appeared to me that she forgot our olives and salad) I let her know that I wish she would have brought our entrees all together. She said she "assumed" we wanted kids meals sooner and, well our relationship went sour very quickly after that. She reacted in a super sassy way proceeding to ask when specifically I would like the kids desserts delivered. Bottom line- - The food was very well prepared, fresh, flavorful, interesting, affordable. -Cora was a terrible server (I have worked in the restaurant service industry for 15 years myself) -This was not a personality conflict, but a serious lack of competency, and most importantly very poor timing and intuitiveness on Cora's part. Timing and intuition make a great restaurant server. Cora, If you do not desire to improve on these character traits, do everyone a favor and find other work!
(4)Di S.
The lamb braised gnocchi is delicious!! The pastas are made in house. My husband had the pierogies, which had a new world twist and were delicious!! Great service and experience. We will be back.
(4)Susan K.
Delicious, so many choices that sounded great. The mussels were wonderful as was the trout entree. Joy was an outstanding server.
(5)Abby Q.
My boyfriend and I came here when we made a trip to Glenwood for my birthday this year. I had read lots of great reviews and the restaurant definitely lived up to the hype! Cyndi was our waitress and she was SO fantastic! She made us feel so welcome, was so knowledgeable about the menu, and was extremely gracious if something we wanted wasn't available. For example, my boyfriend's first choice of entree turned out to be unavailable when she went to put the order in with the kitchen. She brought us free dessert to make up for it! I would not have expected that and it was a lovely touch. We started off our meal with the crispy artichokes. They were delightful and the olive tapenade was such a nice zingy accompaniment. For my meal, I chose the shoulder filet with roasted garlic bacon mash, chimichurri, and red wine sauce. The beef was so tender and the chimichurri was so amazingly fresh. Everything about this meal was wonderful. My boyfriend had a special of the night which was some sort of pork dish with smoked cherries. I feel so sad that I can't recall the proper name for it because it was absolutely delightful as well. For dessert, we chose the strawberry rhubarb ravioli. Crispy doughy warm pillows filled with tangy fruit filling, dragged through cream cheese sauce and finished off with a dollop of basil ice cream. Yea. It was goooooooood. I would make the trip back just for dessert alone. If you're ever in Glenwood, GO HERE! You won't be disappointed!

Dude you can order a bone here. Like a real bone from an animal, sliced in half and cooked to perfection. Its really what I took away from our meal at the Pullman. It was fantastic. Claire C. and I came the day after Thanksgiving, which is Glenwood is a big party, and after trying to get into other restaurants were able to get seated at The Pullman pretty much right away. (Psssss it helps when its a party of two and not 5 to 10 like everyone else that night) After checking in and looking for tips on my favorite mobile foodie app we ordered the Gnocchi Salad and Bone Marrow to split, Mac and Cheese and Gnocchi (I'm Irish and really like potatoes, don't judge me) for the main course and to finish we got a scoop of the Butter and Salted Ice Cream that comes with the bread pudding. The Marrow and Gnocchi Salad were excellent. Top Notch. I felt like all that is man scooping out the marrow and generously applying it to my toasted bread. The salad was good too, I think it is truffle oil that puts it over the top. The main courses were both good. I actually preferred the Mac and Cheese over the Gnocchi but I mean I'm splitting hairs here. Dessert was so what the doctor asked for. The ice cream was divine. I pine for it nightly. The only weird deal for us was ordering the drinks. I got a delightful beer but it came out as a 6 oz pour at first when the card said it would be 14 oz. I asked the server and she quickly went to ask the bar tender who had just put it in the wrong glass. Come to think of it though there wasn't an apology for that mistake. Claire C. got the house red wine. Here is the weird deal you order in ml. I mean I haven't used ml since high school chem I have pretty much no idea how much wine 1 ml is and ordering 300ml is super odd. It does come out in a super cool beaker but some more guidance as to how much to order would be really helpful. To be fair though it was a very busy night. Overall I say 4.5 stars. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra 30 bucks and go to the Pullman and have a meal you will remember for quite a while.
(5)Matthew M.
We had super high hopes going into The Pullman, long lines, good looking food, etc. But once we received our food, we realized it was over priced and just "ok". We had read that it was featured in Esquire magazine so we thought it had to be good if it was recognized on a national level. I can add that we are pretty "simple people" when it comes to our food and that could have played a roll. High end ingredients and "upscale" menu design with a casual atmosphere. Sometimes I just like to keep things simple. The mac and cheese was good, but super small for the price. The Ruben looked and sounded delicious, but it was a disappointment. We will not be going back to this restaurant next time we are in GS.
(3)Melanie S.
Dining on small plates was never so good. We shared a warm duck confit and Spinach salad that was to die for. You didn't want it to end. Such a marvelous blend of flavors and textures that accented each other. A must try if you visit. The Kale salad with parmesan, pinenuts and currants again was the perfect blend of flavors and textures. We had wine and another dish that escapes my memory but not the feeling of satiety that followed the meal. I would rate this the hands down favorite of all my recent dining in Glenwood Springs. Go, you will not be disappointed!
(5)Lily S.
Best food in town? Wow, if it is true, then I feel sorry. I haven't tasted all restaurants in town but The Pullman wasn't impressive to me. Put it this way, four of us dropped 100 bucks for dinner here and we went to the Village Inn next to our lodge afterwards for pie, shakes, and sandwiches and felt more satisfied. Here's the rundown: - Roasted Colorado Striped Bass: stick to Chilean sea bass if you have the choice - Grilled Pork Belly | Apple Butter: the plate this was served on was interesting, the dish itself, not so much - Grilled Hanger Steak | Cauliflower Potatoes Au Gratin: now this probably could've turned out better if my stupid cousin had not ordered it medium well, not Pullman's fault! - Grass Fed Burger with homemade chips: thought it was a tad dry. I do want to give them thumbs up for serving both kinds of homemade chips though (regular and sweet potatoes) - Mac and Cheese: not as fancy as I expected, or as the menu description lead me to think - Gnocchi Salad: recommended by our server and is truly one of the most original salads, the best dish of the night, by far! Atmosphere and service were both quite nice.
(3)C S.
We had kind of an odd experience here. I'm not sure if our server was drunk, high, slow, or new. But she had a really difficult time doing her job. The first sign of this was when I ordered a drink prior to my boyfriend, she asked for my ID, I then handed it to her, she glanced at it, looked off into the distance for a moment, and started walking away with my ID. Again, my boyfriend hadn't even ordered yet, and it was really bizarre. She then weirdly returned, apologized, and handed me my ID. It didn't get much better from here, and she became increasingly rude and short as time went on. Considering mountain towns are somewhat difficult to get a decent dinner in, I probably would return. The food was fine, it wasn't blow your mind amazing, but it filled our requirements for a good meal. The dessert however was excellent. I'm sure it would've been better had our server been with it. I would absolutely hope she wasn't our server if we returned.
(3)B M.
The Pullman was our special occasion spot. For awhile it was excellent! Great food and service. But, I'm sad to say that the last three times my husband and I have been there, the food was ok, and the service not so good. Took forever for our server to take our order, and to refill drinks on a not so busy night. I'm hesitant to go back. I would love to love this place again.
(3)Leigh S.
After being told we would have to wait over an hour for a table (the 11 empty ones being reserved), my husband and I grabbed the last two seats at the bar. I ordered the steak salad. The steak was grilled perfectly, medium rare. Our drinks were also very good. We each had a whiskey mule. For the two hours we sat and ate, the reserved tables remained empty and the hostess kept turning away customers. Holding multiple tables two hours past the reserved time is an odd way to run a business. The food and drinks were good, but don't go unless you make a reservation or have a lot of time to stand around waiting. Or if you don't mind eating at a packed bar.
(3)Maggie N.
Ask for Gordan to serve you and you will be taken care of! Great food, great service:)
(5)Mason H.
We heard about this place from the hotel desk (Lodge, aka pool hotel) and decided that if it were as popular and famous (Esquire magazine) as its rep, then why not give it a go. We started with the goat cheese fritters, (5 stars!). They came with hazelnut hummus, a green squirt of something or another on top, and pure super yumminess. I'm also sure they were 10000 calories each for how delicious they were. For our entrees we got the hamburger and order of mac and cheese. The hamburger was the best I've had in the last decade for sure. It was simple, fresh (killed yesterday) and cooked just right (med-well was the order but it was pink but no worries). It came with a slice of provolone melted on the patty, sauteed onion, and charred just right on the outside. The bun complemented it perfectly and I added a dab of mayo and ketchup. Over all I would definitely highly recommend the burger if it's an option (this place seems like they might change up the menu). The mac was amazing too. Gruyere cheese! Rather small for the price, but the taste was definitely worth it (I think $12). I would classify this as more of a sampler than an actual entree but it beats the BS that Panera serves for $1000 for a bite of their mac and cheese. All in all this place is amazing and we will be coming here each and every time that we visit the springs. I would one day like to sample everything they offer. 5 of 5 for sure.
(5)Amy M.
Yum, yum. We were provided with the brunch menu and proceeded to order the poutine for an app. My husband ordered the mac & cheese which could have used a bit more flavor. But the real reason I am a fan is due to the dish that I ordered. Pierogis with truffle potato, caramelized onions & scallion crème fraiche. It was so good that I used bread to soak up every last bit of the flavor. I would definitely stop in here again when in the area and order the same dish.
(4)Tara G.
Very good but not great. The flavors of the food were just the slightest bit off. Risotto just a little too salty, Bolognese not salty enough, smoky dishes just a little too sweet. The other discord was that the ambiance was loud. Hubby and I had to resort the texting each other in order to "talk". I did however love the cocktails. And the staff was very nice. I shied away from the Afternoon Delight at first because many drinks featuring strawberries are just too sweet but hubby had one and it was flavorful and bright and not overly sweet. I also tried the Spring H2O which was very refreshing and deceptively intoxicating. I'd definitely eat at the Pullman again and enjoyed my meal. I'm sure I could find something that would make this a five star experience.
(4)Lia H.
Had the special (steak) and we ordered medium. It came cold and rare so we sent it back. They basically threw what we had left to cook it again and it didn't turn out too well and tasted burnt. BUT the server was amazing and addressed our concerns immediately and took the steak off the bill. I think we may have just had a fluke entree (special) and would return. Prices were excellent.
(4)April E.
This was my first visit to The Pullman and it was great! My daughters pb&j was on what looked to be homemade bread. The pickled deviled eggs with bacon are a must have and so are the house made pork rinds. I had the duck meatloaf and it was so-so, but my husbands pierogi's were out of this world! I will be back!
(4)Kyla S.
I would totally give this restaurant 5 stars, but I have only been here once so only have one thing to base my rating off of. I was there last weekend with a group of 14, and when we made the reservation we were told our tables would be separate (two tables of 7) dude to the size of the restaurant, or table limitations, which we were all okay with. For starters I tried the bacon, dill, deviled egg and really liked it, and probably could have eaten a dozen of them.. but limited myself to one. For dinner I ordered the Truffle Perogies because I LOVE TRUFFLE and if you LOVE truffle, this dish is for you.. If you just "like" truffle oil, the truffle taste may be a bit overwhelming. My boyfriend did not care for the dish saying that all he could taste was the truffle, but I absolutely loved the dish. And I didn't let any go to waste- with the bread they bring you, I soaked up the juices and gave the waitress back a very cleaned off plate. Just a note- the serving sizes are all a bit small, but you are here for quality, not quantity.. keep that in mind for those who need a lot to eat. Also- for all of the guys...1 guy ordered the burger and EVERY other guy on our trip wish they would have got that instead. The next thing I want to try there is the Bolognese- a few people in our party ordered this, and it sounded fabulous.
(4)Michael B.
While I enjoy so many restaurants here, the Pullman is my favorite as the menu is the most unique and it changed regularly. Consistently good food and service.
(5)CRAIG S.
The food /menu is a great effort. Apply that effort to training servers. You'll be 4x as great.
(3)Shelli W.
Best service we have had, probably ever. Emilee was awesome. We had driven over 12 hours that day. Stopped for dinner and not only did we have great service but the food was definitely to write home about! Best chicken by far we have had in a restaurant. The homemade corn crunch/ice cream/flourless chocolate goodness was fantastic! Thanks to Emilee for a great experience.
(5)Lindsey P.
Fantastic dinner! My husband and I had the pleasure of randomly stumbling upon this little gem. Super cute inside, terrific service and AMAZING food. I had the salmon with smoked mash potatoes and one bite took me to heaven!! The hubs had the pork shoulder and I practically had to rip the plate away for fear of him licking it clean!! The service was top notch and they helped us choose the right food and wine. Did I forget to mention the MAPLE BACON DEVILED EGGS???? Do yourself a favor. Eat here.
(5)Alison G.
Every single thing that we ordered was to die for. Gnocchi salad, peirogi, rabbit and baby carrots, salmon with smoked mashed potatoes - every bite truly delicious. And the banana strawberry bread pudding - excellent. The meal easily rivaled any we've had in Napa and other world class resorts. I just loved the menu!
(5)Diane O.
The Pullman is always my "go-to" restaurant when I'm in GWS. I always make sure to make a reservation in advance on Open Table even on a Thursday or Friday night in the off-season. Went there last night to celebrate a late birthday and was able to get in right away with the reservation. The wait between courses was a little long (I was very hungry) but they're so busy that it is understandable. Maybe they could hire some more servers... The food doesn't suffer from the rush which is fine by me!! What we ate: Duck Nuggets- I don't know how they cook them (fried maybe) but they're Amazing!! the meat melts in your mouth and the sauce is really well paired. A great appetizer and was still good later that night as a late snack. Mac-n-cheese- Awesome as usual. Rich and creamy. Lamb shoulder- Boyfriend said it was very good, but a little fatty. Beef/potatoes- These were great as well and done exactly to my liking! Sauce was really good. Bread pudding- Boyfriend at this and said he loved it but wished there was more ice cream! The wait staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. The manager was also a GREAT support to his staff as well as me. He was running around busing tables, serving food, and checking in on guests. Also, I had gotten a Very bad sunburn and he offered to bring me some cream to put on it, which worked great! Overall 5 stars every time I've been there!!

I have to stop at this place every time I drive by Glenwood. springs. I consider it a treat that can't be missed. The food is delicious, high end and creative without all the pretentious fuss. go there just because or for a special occasion. Contrary to the belief that it's popular because it's the only restaurant attempting to do New American food is a falsity. It is popular simply because the food is good. We recently went with a group of seven for dinner and we couldn't decide who had the best dish because they were all delicious. The service is also great. Make reservations if you can because it gets really busy. I love it so much I wanted to eat all my meals here during my brief stay in glenwood springs. I highly recommend this place.

Wow, what a treat to eat here. Innovative menu-nothing disappoints here!

Ordered the night's special beef short rib dish that was the special that night that brought down an otherwise five star rating. The mac and cheese and arugula salad were fantastic! The fish was cooked well. However, the short rib was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too salty. The first bite was ok, but the saltiness just built and built on itself. The service was fine (if a bit slow at first) and attentive. Next time I'll try the roast chicken - the server said that everyone in the kitchen said it was their favorite dish.

This place is hoppin'! By far, the best restaurant in Glenwood, and one of the best restaurants in Colorado. Superb service and amazing food. Same chef as the famous 689 in Carbondale. Interesting crowd that is a combination of Glenwood locals, Aspen beautiful people and western slope rednecks.

Nice place for a sandwich and a beer or cocktail. Nice wait staff and well stocked bar. A little noisy for us but looks like a fun place. Food was excellent however the cole slaw was dripping with sauce....ran all over the plate. Have them serve it in a side dish as it made the sandwich I had soggy. Overall a really nice place for relaxing and making friends.
(4)Jen H.
Food was perfect. A pleasant spin off the classic reuben with the most tendee and juicy corned beef that has ever come my way. The 10 out of 5 belongs to the special that day. A braised pork sandwich with pineapple and bell pepper. Succulent, juicy meat. Everything on that sandwich was perfection. The fries were okay, salad was plain, but a nice mixed green with a vinaigrette.The cocktails were fun. We had an orange creamsicle, which wasnt too sweet. Aperfect creamy blend. You knew it was a cocktail, but also a push pop! My bf had a moscow mule, which had a light, slightly crisp taste. It wasnt memorable, but refreshing. Ambience was great. Server was perfect!!!

Good stuff. We beelined straight for the bar one very hot Saturday afternoon, after biking through Glenwood Canyon in 96-degree weather. All we wanted was ice cold beer and a bit of fresh food to tide us over till dinner. Ordered the kale parmesean salad, which was delish - the pine nuts balanced out the flavor perfectly. Also split the gruyere mac between us since we needed a bit more sustenance. Equally satisfying. And THEN. We decided to take the plunge and order a slice of salted chocolate pie. Oh. Snap. It was a small slice, elegantly presented, and absurdly delicious. I've been burned by "salted" desserts before that pretty much ended up tasting like the ocean, but this was everything I wanted it to be and more. Bottom line: we left The Pullman feeling feeling MIGHTY FINE, which is really the best recommendation I can give.

Great food. We had the Duck, It was bursting with flavor and the service was good too.
(5)Sybil J.
After reading the reviews (and seeing the Nutella bread pudding with bacon ice cream on the menu...yes, it's really true), it became our destination for dinner while traveling through. We toted our five month along and placed our order of cheese curds, hangar steak with amazing smashed potatoes, and Nutella bread pudding with bacon ice cream to go. It was the best meal in a box that I've ever had! I would've loved to enjoy the amazing meal in the swanky restaurant, but decided with the baby that we would let other enjoy their meal too. Hands down recommendation on this one!
(5)M R.
This place is crazy good. I wish I could have taken it with me when I left. We were a party of 6 and had made reservations. My folks are on the older side and it's a happening place, so they were having a hard time hearing when we walked in. The staff was super nice about getting us a table that was smaller and relatively quiet = super bonus points. The drinks we got were AMAZING. I love bourbon and they had a number of great drinks for me to try, each one better than the last. Finally the food. I really liked my steak and the salads were very inventive.
(5)Melissa H.
A MUST GO! Exceeded expectations. As a recommendation pit stop on a roadtrip home, we were looking for a quick bite. We ordered the Mac n Cheese, Duck Nuggets, Pullman's Grassfed Burger (burger with egg, caramelized onions, and a fluffy bun), and pierogis Togo. We ate every last bite down to the parmesan that topped the french fries. The Mac n Cheese is the best ever with full flavors of cheese and breaded topping and we added bacon. The pierogis were moist with a truffle potato filling. The sauce served with the duck nuggets complemented the salty with a tart very well. The burger was tender and full of fresh flavor. The egg complemented so well no additional condiments were necessary. On top of the great food the service was outstanding. Initially we were given a 20-30 minute wait but got seated within 5 minutes. Our server Tiffany presented the additions (specials) so well that we had to applaud her. She made sure we enjoyed our meal to the fullest as with the other customers around us. We will be back very soon!
(5)Cliff T.
Wow! We didn't expect to find any decent restaurants in Glenwood Springs. Luckily Yelp exists. This place was awesome! We actually couldn't stop ordering more things off the menu, even tho we had a 4 hour drive to Denver ahead of us. The handmade gnocchi, asparagus, wild mushrooms salad with oregano vin & parmesan was amazing. Gnocchi in a salad was appreciated by all. The truffle potato pierogis with caramelized onions & scallion crème fraiche was like nothing else I've ever had. Everyone at the table enjoyed this one as well. The mac & cheese is another one I'd recommend. So many other great sounding meals (especially after experiencing some of the menu) that I know I would drive from Denver just to go eat here. Seasonal and local ingredients is a plus. Save room for desert. That menu is just as impressive as the dinner menu.
(5)Laura P.
I don't think I can speak highly enough about this place. The food is amazing with a capital A. Not only does it taste incredible but they use locally grown and sourced ingredients. It all tasted heavenly and the service (waiter John) was awesome. Highly recommend the nutella bread pudding with bacon toffee. Hmmmmm They also had some yummy cocktails. You can't go wrong here!
(5)Brody G.
Unbelievable place. This is my new favorite in Glenwood. Amazing menu with amazingly unique and eclectic options. But eclectic can be a hazard if you can't pull it off...this place does it. We tried several of the small plates, soup, and mussels, and all were spectacular! And the desserts were a little piece of heaven. The food and wine alone would have been enough to earn this place 5 stars, but the service (THANK YOU BRITTANY) and atmosphere made this a perfect anniversary dining experience. Special occasion or no occasion...I suggest you make this place a priority on any trip to Glenwood Springs!
(5)D S.
Went to Glenwood looking for Cajun and that restaurant was no longer cooking, so they sent us to The Pullman. We WIN!! The service was fast and attentive, though the gentleman who seated us (2) did not smile, even when smiled at. He let us know that the kitchen would be shutting down soon and encouraged us to decide quickly... I had the peirogies and my date had the roasted chicken and both were extremely flavorful. The waiter brought us warm bread which was very welcome on a chilly fall night while we were having a late dinner. Good prices, great service and awesome, delicious food. We will be back.
(5)M V.
The food was delicious but the portions were too small. The service was great and we didn't have to wait to be seated even thou it was a busy evening. My husband and I decided we would go to the hot springs pool for an hour and get a second dinner after. I would go there again, but make sure to order enough food. The pricing was reasonable.
(3)Sam F.
I agree with every good thing that has been said about this place. The portion sizes were absolutely perfect. I enjoyed the housemade burrata with eggplant and crispy shallots, gnocchi salad (warm, perfectly browned gnocchi, sweet potato, and wild mushrooms hiding under a pile of greens with a tower of shaved Parmesan), and Irish stout chocolate cake (a surprising and delightfully deconstructed one). All were divine with an excellent balance of flavors. I was so impressed I went to their sister restaurant six89 (one of two others I believe) in Carbondale for dinner the same day. On Wednesdays the Carbondale restaurant has $20 3-course comfort food prixe-fixe meals. I was enjoying mused and the portions were reasonable enough that I thought I could enjoy a fourth (beet salad with dates and house-made feta) course and got a little too full. Wonderful establishments with stylish, comfortable accommodations and excellent execution. Gnocchi salad is available in both restaurants (the server at six89 told me Pullman stole it from them) and both are in beautiful parts of Colorado worth visiting. Glenwood Springs for the hot springs, Carbondale for hiking IMO. I can still taste the combination of truffle oil and Parmesan. I only regret I was unable to try more things at Pullman. I'll be posting pictures.

LOVE this place! Visiting from San Diego, we had a late lunch there on Sunday. Brian had the mussels, which he said were delicious and I had the kale salad and the mac 'n' cheese. The kale salad was divine (that might be a strange way to describe it, but I really like kale) as was the mac 'n' cheese. Oh yeah, we also had a round of 'Mitchelladas' and those were pretty good, too, although I was not crazy about the slight sweet-ness, which I am attributing to the ginger-infused gin. I asked if the lime juice was sweetened, and the server said 'no,' so it must've been the gin. I wish we had tried the salted chocolate dessert... How about opening a satellite in San Diego? :)

We went here for an early dinner with our one year old son. I was very pleasantly surprised. I thought it would be a bit pretentious but the staff and service were great. The food was excellent, and the atmosphere and ambiance were perfect.
(4)Chuck B.
Great food and beer all around. Make sure you make reservations.
(5)Kurt C.
At the end of my meal my waitress asked if I needed anything else, I said, "Bring me a tissue for I am shedding tears of joy." Strawberry rhubarb ravioli with basil ice cream was spectacular! Not to mention their scallop dish and calamari salad were phenomenal!
(5)Crist K.
Fantastic food, best lamb I have ever had. The steak was pretty darn good and the desserts were heavenly. Great service and very reasonable prices given the quality and ambiance of the place.
(5)Sara A.
My husband and I stopped here for an early dinner after spending the afternoon at the hot springs pool. We had a few glasses of wine, and then our meals. I ordered the grass-fed burger and it was excellent, probably the best burger I've ever had. Loved that it came on an English muffin. The cheddar + caramelized onions were the perfect topping, no need for any condiments. My husband had the pork shoulder + grits and couldn't stop talking about it. Only his 2nd time having grits, and he slurped them all up before I could even get a taste. We stayed in Vail, and the Pullman EASILY surpassed any of the restaurants we dined at in Vail. And the price! So much more reasonable! If you get the chance, please visit!
(5)Karen D.
Unique, delicious food in an upbeat atmosphere. The calamari in citrus aioli was excellent. My friend had the tortilla soup and said it was excellent as well. There were many items on the menu that were appealing, so it made choosing difficult. Presentation of the food was beautiful. I like it when my food looks good as well as tastes good. The service was superb. Make reservations, because this place gets packed very quickly.
(5)Elizabeth A.
Exquisite!

Recently, my girlfriend and I came to Glenwood Springs for a relaxing weekend. As we were pulling into town we saw The Pullman, which looked cool, but we wanted to check the menu to make sure the food looked as good as the atmosphere. Indeed it did! Needless to say, we gave it a shot. And boy was that a one of the best decisions we made on our trip! So how was the food? Well, I think the fact that we not only dined there that first night, but the second night of our trip as well answers that question. And the service was great too! As a relevant side note, it's worth noting that we were debating about dining in Aspen or Carbondale that second night, but The Pullman, with its delicious and healthy food, sucked us back in. Why drive far away when reasonably priced gourmet dining is so close to your hotel? Anyway, I'd highly recommend the following menu items: the roast bone marrow, deviled eggs, the squash soup (if they have it), the squash risotto, the brussels with bacon & spuds, and the grass-fed burger (with a lettuce bun of course). They also have a nice selection of Colorado craft beers, but unfortunately none of them are on tap (the one and only drawback to The Pullman I noticed).
(5)Mike B.
The kimchee tacos reminded me of the famous Koje Taco in LA! I had the hangar steak and it was terrific. Wife had the Cobb sandwich and thought it was good but not great but this is my review! Our daughter gave the Mac N Cheese a big 5 out of 5. Great Place
(5)Alexander P.
The best meal in Glenwood Springs without a doubt, and likely the best meal you'll get in the valley in terms of value for price. I have a few friends who work at the Pullman and for many months they and our assorted other Pullman-loving friends would talk my ear off about how great it was. I'd gone twice and both times was unimpressed. That was until I had the strawberry rhubarb raviolis at a dinner with my girlfriend's family. It was, I must admit, the beginning of a realization, or, a discovery if you will. I returned the next week with my family and we tried bascially everything on the menu. The kale parmesan salad with pinenuts and currants - fresh, light, and summery. The mac and cheese - creamy and flavorful. The duck meatballs over black pepper cavatelli - a tad runny but decadent and satisfying. The steel head trout practically dissolves in your mouth. My girlfriend's been back at least 8000 times and orders the Pierogis every time she does. I tend to avoid dishes flavored primarily with onions but even I was swayed by them. But the hands down stars of the show are the desserts. Changing to fit every season, the 2013 summer selection includes a strawberry rhubarb ravioli served with a basil ice cream. The marscapone tart, the flourless chocolate are both great. But the raviolis....wow. The basil ice cream is made in house. I've never seen it anywhere else, but I wish I had. Much of the food is on par with your average prix-fixe French mecca in New York. The portions - while not massive - are fair. Prices are more than reasonable in comparison with the cost. *If there was one thing I had that I must admit I wasn't particularly thrilled with, I'd have to cite the nori roll. It was simply too salty. I know that's par for the course with salmon pastrami but it was overwhelming and left the dish underwhelming.
(5)Paul Z.
One of the best restaurants in the state. Really enjoy the overall experience: great cocktail menu, snacks, small plates and the entrees all are awesome. The chef uses fresh, in season and local ingredients in a very creative manner. The salads are super fresh and dressed lightly. All the mains are well thought out and I would like to try each of them. Save room for desert. The dinning room is open and pleasant and the service is caring. I hope they keep the standards as high as they do in their Carbondale place!
(5)Erica N.
we LOVED the pullman. i have worked for frank bonnano for years and am a self proclaimed denver foodie. i thought the restaurant looked like something that could be part of the frank bonnano/ jean phillipe failyau empire- and told our server so. (if osteria marco and park & co had a baby, it would be the pullman) bone marrow- AWESOME. veal sweetbreads- yes please, again and again. homemade burrata lacked a little seasoning but i could have eaten 10 pounds of the pistachio butter that accompanied. the spring pea soup was delightful. we shared seared sea scallops with orzo and curry braised lamb shank with mushroom risotto. both dishes were wonderful. the only thing we were upset about was leaving the boxed up orzo on the table when we left. REALLY affordable wine list and the 2009 tempranillo/ garnacha blend did NOT disappoint at $34 (i think) a bottle! thank you PULLMAN! we can't wait to try your sister, phat thai! xoxoxo

Excellent food and service :-)
(5)Donald M.
We liked this place so much we ate here three times during our three night stay in Glenwood Springs. I think this restaurant is our favorite of Mark Fischer's. On our first visit (lunch) we split the grass fed burger and short rib tacos. The burger was very good but the tacos were amazing. Our second visit was also for lunch. I had a lamb sandwich which was one of the day's specials. The better half had the cobb salad. We didn't share but both really liked our selections. The third visit was for dinner. There was a triathlon in Glenwood Springs that weekend so we had an hour wait but we knew that it would be worth the wait. We sort of shared the lamb meatballs with feta gnudi and the colorado lamb chops. Both were very good. I'd highly recommend this place if you're in the area.
(5)Sara R.
Excellent service, ambiance, prices, cocktails and food! I opted for the basil gimlet, which was complex yet simple. We had the soup of the day - a luscious beet with horseradish creme fraiche. My Fiance went for the Ruben and I had the mushroom squash gnocchi salad. Awesome! We were too full to get dessert, but they all sounded amazing. We will be back for more very soon.
(5)Brian L.
Fresh, fun food prepared with love. They have great twists on classic dishes. I was there for a CrossFit comp, so everyone in our group was a Glutard and our server totally got it. Diver Scallops are money. Drink menu was great and prices were shockingly low. Kudos to the Pullman. The highlight of Glenwood Springs.
(5)Trog D.
Wait staff is impeccable. Food is of the highest caliber in this quaint little town. If u want something other than a burger, this is the joint. Awesome cocktails with local organic liquors. Highly, highly recommended. Must check out if in town. Then check out Doc's around the corner for something a bit more local and historic. Love it!
(5)Scott and Katie B.
You had me at Crispy Pork Belly! Highlights: Scallops, Short Rib Tacos and Crispy Pork Belly Ate at the Bar, friendly wait staff all had great information on the menu and plenty of dinner ideas for me. Great Atmosphere, casual restaurant with awesome food. Awesome place, great food and friendly staff make this a must in Glenwood Springs. Can't wait to come back!
(5)Laura R.
We had dinner there last week. We had our two daughters, 5 and 3. There was a sign that said "We welcome your well-behaved children". Well, ours are. I saw the ratings say "not good for children". I disagree. If your kids are well behaved, the staff was attentive to them as well as us. They had crayons and kid menus, which is more than some restaurants. But the food was FANTASTIC! The squash agnolotti was pillowy and divine. The Scallops were uniquely dressed and wonderful, cooked to perfection. The waiter knew his beer as well as wine. The kids meals even came with ice cream or pudding for dessert. We WILL be back!
(5)Tanay N.
While in the midst of a round-the-US road trip, I stopped here based on the Yelp reviews. I ordered the wild mushroom wontons and gnudi with lamb meatballs. Both were amazing, especially the gnudi. A perfect stop on the way to Whistler or Denver!
(5)Andrew H.
If you live in Denver it is worth the drive to eat dinner up here. Get a little bit of everything and enjoy their cocktails as much as their food. Great for gluten free. Dinner better suits the food over lunch. I've had dreams about their rabbit hash.
(5)Joel S.
Killer food, great atmosphere, and a very interesting wine list! A great find in Glenwood springs!
(5)Crystal C.
Great food. Must try to the gnocchi salad.... I didn't think I would enjoy a salad so much. And very attentive waitress. She was super helpful in giving us suggestions on where to go and explore. Why 4 stars? To be honest, it is because relative to Sweet Basil in Vail and Duo in Denver metro, I didn't like everything... The soup of the day was a pear and fennel soup -- it just wasn't exactly what I wanted. My boyfriend had to the sloppy john... the P brand on the bun was cool but I didn't want to steal my boyfriend's sandwich even though he enjoyed a lot. Probably could have been 5 stars if I hadn't had Sweet Basil and Duo earlier in the week. But I will definitely come back!
(4)Marjorie S.
We stopped in Glenwood Springs for lunch. Originally I looked on Yelp and found the Grind. We went there but it was so busy there was no place to sit. So we walked a few blocks and came to the Pullman. Had a great beet soup and a refreshing salad. Service and atmosphere were good.
(4)Hannah M.
The Pullman was absolutely delicious! My friends and I stopped here for dinner during our short stay in Glenwood Springs. The food was delicious and the service was excellent! The manager stopped to check on us multiple times to make sure everything was up to our standards. I definitely recommend this place!
(5)Nick W.
Love the food but keep your receipt. My $13 bill with a $3 tip shows up as a $21 on my cc statement. Apparently the waitress thought she deserved an additional $5 and the 3 became an 8.
(4)Katy G.
I've reviewed this restaurant before with 4 & 5 stars. This visit was disappointing as we were not able to get in. This was a planned mid-season visit to Glenwood to enjoy some of my favorites without the crowds. First night in town (monday), I checked the hours which said they were open until 9:30 pm. We showed up at 8:25 and were told we could only get drinks, the kitchen was closed. I mentioned that their advertised hours are until 9:30 and the hostess was quite snotty and said when it was slow they close when they close! No apology for the inconvenience or our disappointment. The next night we didn't even try since it was after 8 when we were ready for dinner. Wednesday night we made a real effort to do an early dinner, arriving at the Pullman at 6:30pm. Unfortunately, there was a private party going on and the restaurant was only open for them. The bright side is that we ate at the wonderful, new, Chang, Thai restaurant, and didn't have to decide between The Pullman and Zheng. There is always a silver lining! I will probably try The Pullman again as I have had quite a few good and very good meals there, but I must say I was put off by the lack of professionalism displayed by the hostess.
(2)Jessie G.
This restaurant makes me want to move to Glenwood Springs! Not only are the staff amazing, but the food is a mouth watering flavor adventure. The hubby and I ate here every day we were in town on a recent long weekend trip. Having tried several of the small plates, salads, desserts, and cocktails, I can safely tell you there is no way to go wrong. Some highlights: - brussel sprouts with bacon and potatoes - house made burrata with pickled eggplant and shallots - espresso ice cream with Irish cream foam and dark chocolate biscotti - pork belly with celery root puree and green apple salad - cereal milk ruski...a white Russian with cereal milk...seriously amazing! You simply can't go wrong and if you aren't happy they will fix it. I saw a lady complain about her food and before she could think twice they had brought her something else. I really wanted to see if I could eat what she sent away as it looked divine but thought that might seem a little odd. The staff welcomes you in and is so incredibly friendly. We made a point of sitting at the bar regularly for the awesome conversations we had with people around us. Visit here if you dare as it's sure to make you crave it for months on end.
(5)Craig B.
Max made very good food great by sharing his knowledge, experience and personality. The venue was a pleasant surprise reflecting the casual rustic area.
(4)Kristine S.
I went back to the Pullman and had a much better experience the second time. I ordered the scallops. They were DELICIOUS. The service was great and we were well cared for.
(4)Shawn S.
Must stop in GWS. Food was great. Menu is eclectic and delicious. Service was 5 stars. Our waiter (Aaron I believe) went above and beyond to explain the menu, make great recommendations. Highly recommend! We'll be back!
(5)Russ W.
2012 Esquire was right! Excellent non-complicated service, in a nice attractive well designed space. The food was excellent. Went for lunch and had the chicken sandwich and autumn cianfotta. Both where perfect to share for lunch. Fresh ingredients and well balanced. The next time we visit GWS we go for dinner. Looking forward to going back.
(5)Genevieve B.
When you visit a tourist town in summer, you expect to get suckered into spending a lot of dough for a meal you wouldn't dare spend money on back home. That's why we did a little research before coming to Glenwood and found the Pullman. Esquire wasn't lying when they named it one of America's Best New Restaurants. I don't have enough nice things to say about this place. First, the space itself is beautiful and spacious. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful but it's the food that says the most! I love restaurants that try! The Pullman tries and succeeds on every level. For apps we had the oysters flown in fresh from WA and the burrata cheese with pistachio butter. For our main we had the muscles and the rabbit. Both were heavenly. Most of the time you eat to get full but these meals made you slow down and actually enjoy every savory mouthful. I would drive the 4 hours from home just to eat at this place again. Prices were very reasonable - I wish we could get something this good back home!
(5)ER D.
5 STAR! Hands Down!!!! Glenwood Springs was a place that we drove through from Denver en route to Las Vegas. Wasn't sure where to eat for dinner and Yelp brought us here. Even the locals highly recommend this place... IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT US, it went above and beyond, exceeding any expectations we had. The service was excellent (David was our server), and the restaurant had a very nice ambiance to it. It's a perfect example of Great Fusion cuisine. What did we order? The raw oyster was off-the-chart good! Being in Vegas has blunted our taste buds, and this raw oyster was so good that my wife ate 5 of them. The Gnochi salad with mushroom was a surprise. We did not know what to order and went off what most people recommended on Yelp, and it was great. If you like warm salad, this is the one to go with. I'm not a big salad fan, and I absolutely loved it! Entree: We had hanger steak and pork shoulder. The hanger steak was phenomenal, but what I'd like to comment on is the pork shoulder. Again, went with what most yelpers recommended, and I'm not a pork fan. But I can tell, if you like pork, this is a great dish. I give it a 4-star, and that's only because I've never been into Pork dishes. I would've probably ordered seafood given how fresh their oysters are, but unfortunately, or fortunately, I really wanted to try something different. Desert: Save room for desert, you'll need it. The desert is full of surprises, mixing sweet with salty (bacon ice cream). I personally thought it was a good innovation, but probably won't try it again because it just taste "weird"- in a good way. I'd like to try something else next time! The only con: The menu is way to confusion - take your time, it's worth it! And would I come back if i travel through glenwood again? You bet!
(5)Alex D.
The best restaurant in Glenwood. Great, original food, great atmosphere, kid friendly (but you can avoid them if you want), great drinks. Just stop reading the reviews and go there. Enjoy.
(4)Tom S.
Tried this out on our way thru from CA to home in eastern CO. Excellent service, creative food selections and cool place near the train depot. I had the roasted chicken which was juicy and tasty and we shared their Gruyere and white cheddar mac and cheese. Next time we are in GWS, I am back to try another intriguing menu item.
(5)Alvarez W.
Currently, my favorite restaurant in the valley (Aspen, Basalt, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs). I've been there twice now...consistently very good both times. It's very affordable. Great spot.
(4)Steve M.
Great food. Breads made on premises by former French Laundry baker. Fun, light, open space reasonably priced. Great friendly knowledgable staff.
(4)Andrew O.
Wonderful unexpected gourmet food in a relaxed atmosphere. Loved the pork shoulder and appetizers.
(5)Mary B.
I am a food snob--rarely do I find a restaurant that prepares food that I consider to be worth eating. Yet I loved my Scallops on Green Pea Risotto. I don't even like Risotto but this stuff I wanted to lick off the plate. And the scallops, which are SO hard to cook correctly, were lightly caramelized on one side and oh-so-tender on the other. I'm also a traditionalist when it comes to margaritas. No frothy fruity concoctions for me--all I want is real lime juice. I only ordered the Grapefruit and Habenero Margarita because my kids liked the sound of it. If only I could have one of these after work every day! But wait--it got better. My Carrot Cake beignets were fine, but the Basil Ice Cream that came with my neice's Rhubarb dessert was to DIE for. Everyone else in our party of 6 looked as satisfied as I felt after our meal. The bottom line? The service was friendly, the prices were reasonable and the food was beyond compare.
(5)Ryan G. S.
Happened to stop in Glenwood Springs because the sun went down as we were on a cross-country roadtrip. What luck! I don't think you can eat any better than this within 100 miles. The salads were good, if a bit salty. The main dishes were incredible, though. The Rocky Mountain trout was perfectly pan-fried: the skin was crispy, the flesh was tender, and it the whole-grain mustard sauce was tangy but not too strong. The shrimp and grits were truly inspired, with the addition of grilled tomatoes and tomato-bacon broth. The house red wine is a pinot noir from the Willamette Valley. They get it in a bag and it comes out of a tap. You order it in 100mL increments, and it comes to the table in an erlenmeyer flask. It's cheap and great! The minor complaints: no beer on tap, the shrimp were a bit overcooked, and it took a while to get our server's attention at first.
(4)Tommy D.
Oh my gosh...you have to try this place! Sat down and saw the menu prices and was shocked to see that all the entrees were under $20. But when you add up all the extras, it is not cheap...but great bang for the buck! This place was soooo good that we took some friends and ate there a second night. The menu changes weekly so Its hard to say will work for you, but in the course of the two nights, we had 4 different entrees and other plates all were exceptional. If you looking for "bulk" not maybe the place for you, but if you're looking for explosions on your taste buds, this is the place for you! Even the kids menu was awesome!
(5)Jon I.
One of the best meals I've had this year. Outstandingly inventive dishes, prompt and friendly service, a short but interesting wine list; I can't wait to come back again. The cauliflower bisque was incredible, the crispy apple/ginger ravioli with rum/butterscotch ice cream to die for. A real treasure.

Really enjoyed our meal. Best meal we've had in Glenwood. The fries with gravy were awesome and the carpaccio was delicious. Would definitely go again.

Wonderful service.

Don't pass up an opportunity to eat here! If you are detail oriented and want value for your money this is where you eat. The perogies with truffle oil were my choice and everyone agreed they rocked. Not the biggest amount of food served, but definitely of high quality, and rich enough that you won't mind sharing plates.

This was the first time My friends and i went to this restaurant, and that was terrible, very disappointed. Firstly We ordered different food, we all think those food are salty and very small size. Then we asked manager, the manager said:" well, I can't understand what you want to do, do you want to order more food? " We said, no, we just told you we think those not deserve more than 12 dollars just for this small size. He said:" well, now you know, and this is our food. You know, everyone got the same size, and if you don't want to order more food, i'm sorry, but that's it!" So bad experience from this restaurant, we won't forget this one.

The oysters with jalapeño were great! So was the rest of the food and dessert. Capuccino was strong and delicious. The service was great and they were really nice to my 5yr old. Will be back!
(4)Marc W.
Perfect menu, perfect food, perfect service. Had rib tacos, lamb with pea risotto. My wife had the mussels with fries. Dessert was amazing: carrot cake hush puppies and bread pudding with bacon ice cream. Amazing!
(5)Jon N.
Wow! We just ate dinner her and were very impressed. We at at an earlier time and the place still had a great atmosphere. Our waitress Krisan, was very attentive and was great about answering all of our questions and gave great service throughout. The menu was very interesting with some quite eclectic choices together with enough choices for those of us who are less adventurous. We started with the beets, arugula and walnut salad. This had a horseradish dressing that was applied in just enough quantity to compliment the salad rather than overpower it. For main course my wife had the large plate hanger steak and I had the duck meatloaf. Both were phenomenal. Finally we got the bread pudding for dessert (although it was a tough choice with peach bacon crumble being an option - dessert with bacon?? You gotta give that a shot!). It being a favorite of my wife's she is a tough critic. Both of us loved it. Even the coffee was great! Finally the price was extremely reasonable given the quality. With two rounds of drinks it was $80 (exclusive tip). We'll be back again tomorrow night for the rabbit and the peach bacon crumble...
(5)Angie H.
Unusually high quality and variety for the price. It helps to make a reservation which is so easy to do online which I did 15 mins before arriving there and they were turning people away. My table was ready for me. A bit noisy but great food and service and value!
(5)Jackie A.
I went for lunch and this place is delicious. For non-egg lovers you must try Cobb Salad Sandwich it's amazing. For those egg loves you would love Trout Scramble, Friend eggs sandwich, and Eggs benedict.
(5)Nicole R.
As a Colorado native, I've come to expect average 2 to 3 star food and service in most ski and tourist towns in the state. Unless you are willing to drop a hundred bucks per person in some swanky restaurant (in say Aspen or Beaver Creek), you usually won't find many places that take their culinary skills and customer service beyond a mediocre level. This is why my husband and I were both very impressed with The Pullman. Conveniently located in the "downtown" part of Glenwood Springs, the restaurant is a rustic, eclectic and comfortable setting that provides great customer service via well-trained and informed servers, and most importantly, great food. Notable dishes include the mussels and pulled pork entrees that my husband and I both shared. Unique flavor pairings, great presentation and perfect portions made these winners. Try this restaurant....you won't be disappointed!
(5)Mike D.
I have loved every single thing I have had at the Pullman.
(5)Sarah S.
This restaurant was the highlight of our drive through Colorado. We ordered crispy pork belly, a roasted red pepper soup special, and a lamb sandwich. Everything we ordered was amazing. Really wanted to try the macaroni and cheese. This place was so good that I'm actually planning a visit into my next roadtrip through the area.
(5)Steve B.
Inconsistent food prep & service. Had a fabulous beef sandwich one afternoon & mediocre eggs Benedict a few mornings later-eggs not cooked quite enough (should be firm whites, not quite), meager portion of pancetta & hollandaise. Great service one day, had to wait for one meal at our table due to kitchen error on two other occasions.
(3)Catherine O.
The food was outstanding. I had the Reuben and my husband ate the calimari po'boy. Nice texture, great bread, good flavors. Only three stars because the staff is sorely under managed. When we arrived, the manager actually sat at a table and just looked at us. Not one server glanced at the door. It was off hours but I'm not sure 3:00 on a Saturday afternoon, in a tourist town, is so strange. The manager finally sat us after about 2 min of us standing at the door. It still took 10 minutes to get a beer to the table. It has potential with a stronger leader in place.
(3)Jesse D.
Horrible hosting. Very rushed. Steak was not worth the wait or the price. Their shrimp special was over cooked and taste like rubber. Their are finer dining places in glenwood springs .
(1)David S.
A little rich but creative
(4)Paul B.
Great vibe but portion was weak on pasta special at lunch for $12 and if you are going to put eggs on dishes (which I love), you should ask how the guest wants it choked. We don't all like egg whites runny.
(3)Shawn P.
We found The Pullman while on a train trip through Glenwood Springs, and have made it a point to re-visit whenever in the area. Visiting The Pullman starts with outstanding service from the Host, and the food is absolutely amazing! I personally recommend the Hanger Steak Salad....perfection in every way! The servers have always been very helpful and the bar has all you could ask for. The cost is VERY reasonable and considering the quality.....it's a bargain!
(5)Connie B.
Stopped on our way to Utah. The gnocchi salad was great! The manager stopped by a couple of times to make sure we were happy! Will be back!
(4)Marianne H.
We loved the Pullman! Food was great and the service was impeccable. It was great to find such a place in Glenwood Springs. We had dinner Saturday night and then went back Sunday for lunch.
(5)Melanie C.
Best meal of Colorado vacation. Unexpectedly awesome restaurant in Glenwood Springs near train station. Boyfriend had roasted chicken (still talking about it!) I had eggplant, we shared arugula salad and marscapone dessert. Our waiter seemed brand new but the other staff made the experience great.
(5)Taylor S.
We had a great experience at The Pullman. We were looking for a good restaurant in Glenwood and found this one rated #1 on Yelp. The atmosphere was right up our alley - laid back. It has a pub feel to it, but we were looking for a local restaurant with excellent food - not necessarily white table linens and crystal glassware. Our waitor, Jon, was awesome. Extrememly knowledgable and great attention to detail (great with our five year old as well). We ordered two deviled eggs as an appetizer - not the best - a little tangy. For dinner, we ordered the duck meatloaf and the special which was a ribeye. Both were most excellent - would highly recommend both entrees. Prices were decent as well. We had three entrees (one child), an appetizer, salad, and two adult beverages each and the total was under $100. Perfect experience right in the heart of downtown Glenwood. Cheers!
(4)Mike S.
I'm only basing this review on the poutine. I'm Canadian so of course whenever I see poutine on the menu in the US, I have to try it. This is nothing like the usual Canadian fare, nor is it good really. There's shredded cheddar instead of Mozzarella curd and a thin cream-based concoction instead of gravy. The fries don't lend themselves well to the 'gravy'. It was bland as well. :(
(2)C R.
Worth every star...and the drive from Aspen. Only here for lunch twice. Grilled cheese with short ribs very good. Daily specials sound great too. Very cool place and looks like there may be others nearby.
(5)J S.
Had dinner here last night. This place is awesome. Staff was great. Had a great time here. Had the scallops, they were awesome. The salted chocolate pie was suprisingly awesome. This is my second time here and I will defintiely come back.
(4)Luke K.
The Pullman was a great place to eat. I went there with my wife and kids. Great environment, friendly staff. The food was really good with familiar items with some surprising flavors. Would recommend to anyone.
(4)Tate L.
A very cool find! If you are ever in Glenwood Springs, this is a must! Very excellent food with great service. I had the Berkshire Pork with the smoked mozzarella grits. Keep up the great job and I will be back on my next visit to Glenwood.
(5)Chris F.
Great atmosphere, interesting drinks, and the menu was varied enough to keep us ordering more! Service was friendly but lacking that extra attention ( no water refills, silverware left with first course but no silverware with second). Next time we we are in town we will be back!
(4)Franklin C.
I can't recommend this place enough! I took my fiance here literally minutes after I proposed to her. I had called ahead and let them know that I planned to do this and they were so wonderful throughout the evening. There was a bottle of bubbly waiting for us on the table and the chef had prepared a special menu for us. The menu started with incredibly delicious baked oysters with a scallop mousse and a meyer lemon vinaigrette. Next was the gnocchi salad with shaved asparagus. Next we had a pork pate served with an incredible blueberry preserves that was a perfect pairing with the richness of the pate. This was my fiance's favorite of the night. The star of the evening for me was a grilled pork loin that had come from a local hog they butchered the evening before. The next course was a hangar steak that was impossibly flavorful and was so tender it seemed to melt in my mouth. Finally, for the dessert courses we had a Palisade peach sorbet served in a shot of Maker's Mark. God, was that good. Finally we had a chocolate peanut butter pie. The crust was made from peanut butter Captain Crunch and it was served with chocolate covered bacon toffee. The wine list was also great with many Colorado wines on the list that were all reasonably priced. I had one cocktail that needs to be added to the cocktail list, called the Three Putt. It was an Earl Gray infused gin done in-house mixed with fresh lemonade. It's the kind of drink that I would love to sip on all afternoon while sitting outside and watching the river go by. The service was impeccable--attentive and welcoming but never overbearing. The atmosphere was also perfect. Friendly and lively but not too loud. Special thanks to Eric, the manager, and the waitress whose name I wish I could remember. We will be back anytime we are near Glenwood and I would recommend that you all do the same.
(5)Deborah F.
Bone Marrow App was great! They served a great selection of wines to complement the meal, and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.
(5)Daniel C.
Delicious, fresh, creatively prepared food! Two ambiance suggestions: No need for rock music in the background, since the high ceilings magnify the conversations. Avoid the tables under the a/c ducts if you don't have a sweater on. We started with the homemade chips with pungent blue cheese sauce. We split the red quinoa salad. Then the trout, eggplant, and chicken were great. The house red was a good deal. For dessert we split the strawberry rhubarb ravioli. Delightful! For $40 a person, do not hesitate.
(5)Sarah L.
We decided to eat at the Pullman for our wedding anniversary and were not disappointed. It was our first time there and after reading the reviews we were expecting a great meal. Be sure to make reservations because there is a constant stream of people. It was a Wednesday night but still full. My husband ordered his steak medium rare but it came well done but no matter, the waiter right away recognized that, apologized and brought one medium rare. The salad was delicious. The home fries were out of this world! We would go there again for sure if we are in the Glenwood Springs area.
(5)Ilona F.
During a soak in the hot springs, a fellow bather recommended this restaurant and insisted that I try the burrata. This person seemed to know their way around the food world so I made a point of having lunch here before heading back to Denver. The burrata -- a ball of homemade mozzarella and ricotta cheese, served with white beans and roasted roma tomatoes -- was heavenly, both by itself and spread on the warm house bread. I decided to splurge and also try the trout; it was tasty but not as mouthwatering as the burrata. My only complaint is that they have a few flat screen TVs...why distract diners from the delicious food?
(4)M P.
I have to say the first couple of times I wasn't going to give this a 5 star, but after a couple more it just keeps getting better. A winner of one of the top new restaurants in the United States had me wondering what I had been missing, but as I explored the menu I soon found out why...great food and great combinations of ingredients that you sometimes wonder how they came together. They do wine by the "inch" at the bar and have a lot of wine and beer tasting events. Don't miss meatball Tuesdays which is bread, wine, salad, spaghetti/meatball and apple cobbler desert for $18. Don't miss this restaurant when in town
(5)Corinne E.
Pullman was recommended by the front desk gal at our hotel while in town. So glad we went! Tacos on the appetizer menu are outstanding! I'd go back for plates of those all the time if I lived closer. Dessert: Nutella Bread Pudding w/bacon ice cream--wow! Okay, the bacon ice cream was not as good as I had hoped, I'd prefer crunchy bacon bits on top instead of soft chewy pieces mixed in, however it pairs well with the caramel and bread pudding. We were very impressed with The Pullman; great food, modern atmosphere, service was nothing outstanding but not bad either. Dinner plates run about $20, 'small plates' run about $10. Great place to grab food while passing through or staying close.
(4)Sheri S.
You know your meal is going to rock when you devour the salad. Had trout with risotto and wild mushrooms. This place is an excellent find!
(5)Mora L.
Gnocchi salad worth going for alone. Baba beer, wonderful with it. Lamb sandwich a bit greasy, heavy, as was short rib sandwich. Bread amazing. Odd feeling there. Almost snippy with us. Uppity? I would say price range high, but average for here. Chicken cordon blue sandwich was great according to teen we brought with us. Oysters unique, cucumber flavor, but no Tabasco brought with them...which we are used too. Overall worth the salads. Seriously good. My teen not crazy about Lamb, asked for rest of my salad. Painful for me! What we parents sacrifice!
(3)Renee B.
Amazing menu and great service! We enjoyed an absolutely delicious dinner here on a Monday evening with our three year old son. Even on a Monday, they were busy, so I recommend reservations. They were very accommodating and even returned my phone call regarding my concerns about bringing our son with us. They assured me that well-behaved guests of all ages are welcome (: There's something for everyone on their menu and we enjoyed appetizers, entrees, desserts & wine. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town. Thank you!!!
(5)Dave L.
The fourth time here. I travel for business alone quite often, I think I was alone twice and had a companion twice. Everytime the food , the service and the ambiance were very good, when the place was packed or moderately busy. Staff is always fun, friendly without trying too hard. Tonite I had the grass fed burger with greens. Usually, I would rather have a green chile than caramelized onions, they finish the onions with sherry vinegar and brown sugar....perfect. I love bread but their homemade English muffin roll was super, it did not overwhelm the burger, I might need to rethink my love for big ciabatta rolls.
(5)Kevin W.
The Pullman a is restaurant that can stand toe to toe with anything in Denver and probably the best of Portland, Chicago, LA, San Francisco & New York. I've come to believe there is no decent food in the mountains, and that most mountain restaurants rely on the tourist trade, so they make only "edible" food so the tourist pays their bill and leaves. The Pullman was one of only two exceptions I have found in the mountains (the other being the "Laughing Horse" food truck in Breckenridge). The Pullman was a total surprise, the food, the service and the atmosphere are excellent. I wish it was in Denver (where I live) so I could go weekly, instead of the several times per year, I will make the 3 hour trip to eat there. If you are within 100 miles of this restaurant, make a detour and enjoy an excellent meal and a great experience.
(5)Ron N.
Went here with three of my co-workers. The menu looked impressive (most of which I needed deciphered). Our waitress Raquel was friendly and more than happy to discuss the menu and make recommendations. I got the burger after some waffling (the fish sounded good). The burger was good (apparently free range and some other nice sounding things) and cooked right, topped with carmelized onions and cheese. The string fries were a bit too salty though. I have two vegetarian co-workers...one enjoyed her eggplant canneloni. The other received a squash dish with the bacon in it that she had requested be not in the dish. Then she asked for the mac and cheese instead after deciding she didn't want them to try making it again. Sadly, she was charged for the mac and cheese (but at least not for the bacon squash dish), which made her less satisfied. Overall, some hits some misses, I would think about returning, but would probably try some other places first.
(3)Cora R.
I absolutely love The Pullman. The salads were fresh and yummy, the sandwiches looked great too. Some wine was sold by volume, which was interesting. Our waitress was attentive and adorable. They carry a Colorado brand of soda. I really loved the ginger beer.
(5)Christina S.
We stopped here for lunch during a day trip to Glenwood Springs on our Colorado vacay. It was great- exactly what we wanted. The food was delicious- we started with the homemade pork rinds that were drizzled with truffle oil- enough said, right? I had the grilled cheese with shredded short ribs or something, and my hubs had the special- unfortunately, I can't remember what it was- some kind of sandwich. But both were phenomenal. The food was unpretentious and tasty, and the service was attentive without being annoying. We would definitely come back if we're ever in Glenwood Springs again!
(4)Jessica R.
Wow, where to start! If you like ecclectic dining, then this place is for you! The restaurant atmosphere is upscale, however, being in a tourist town, you can walk in with a tank top and flip flops, and still enjoy the great food. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary, so we went all out. For appetizers, we started with the gruyere cheese and ham fritters with strawberry preserve glaze/sauce...absolutely phenomenal, if you love gruyere cheese, it is definitely for you. We also had the bone marrow, in addition to the fritters, and that was fantastic as well, it was served with caramelized onions and grilled bread...if you aren't into trying new and ecclectic menu options, then this place may not be for you. On to the main course! I ordered the curry lamb with an additional side of the bacon mash potatoes. The lamb was so tender it was falling apart, cooked perfectly and very flavorful, by far one of the best lamb dishes I have had to date. I happen to love swine in its entirety, so the bacon mash tatoes were very delicious. The bacon was full of hickory smoked goodness, superb! My husband had the diver scallops, which were also perfectly cooked, served with a demi glaze. Not the best scallops we have ever had, but nonetheless, great. The portions were perfect me, however my husband thought they were a bit small. We didn't make it to desert because we were so stuffed with appetizers as well as the best sourdough bread they serve complimentary. The only reason why it wasn't a full 5 stars was due to the alcoholic beverages we chose. My husband had the sangria, housemade, which was made with white wine (we are predominantly red wine drinkers) so it was just okay. I had a mixed drink, which I can't recall the name of because it was mediocre. Other than the drinks, the food and atmosphere were fantastic! We will definitely going back again!
(4)Colette Q.
Amazing, by far my favorite restaurant in town when we can afford it. I've had the strangest dishes there that always end up being so delicious.
(5)B K.
We have eaten there twice and had exceptional meals both times. Will absolutely go back for the Reuben sandwich!
(5)Addi P.
Innovative & unique menu with simple quality ingredients. Great staff (props to David). Delicious gluten free options.
(5)Matthew B.
Absolutely must visit. Both food and drink were incredible! The gnocchi salad was incredible. Drinks were excellent as well. Having recently visited Alinea, Moto, and Next in Chicago, this was equally as satisfying!
(5)Jon Stacey S.
This is exceptional food. This town has needed a restaurant like this!!!! Every thing we ordered was great. If you are a foody this is your place.
(5)Michelle D.
Good eats, for sure! Interesting variations on everyday meals. Awesome decor--has an industrial, loft-like feel to it. This restaurant was recommended to us by a local. Locals know best!
(4)Stefani T.
After a crash and burn bad meal at Florindo's on a Friday night, we stopped in for dessert and a drink at the Pullman. I had the butterscotch budino, hubby had strawberry rhubarb crumble- paired with port and beer...everything was fab. We ogled the dinner menu, despairing over what should have been and vowed to come back the next evening for dinner. So, after a day of hiking and floating in the hot springs we were back for a Saturday night dinner. Our server was great, timed our food appropriately, brought out drinks as needed. We were also helped by a front of the house manager type from time to time- everyone on the floor seemed attentive and ready to help clear away, bring more tea etc. Yummy bar drinks- watermelon Mojito and a Pullman Palmer (which is a perfect summer time drink-lemonade, tea and clemetine vodka with fresh mint sprigs) We ordered a variety- chips with bleu cheese, shrimp ceviche, rabbit hash, watermelon and pork salad, lamb meatballs with feta gnudi, and pierogis. Chips and Bleu Cheese dip= perfect amount of cheese on fresh made chips, great pub fare. Had just a bite of my husband's ceviche but it was yummy. OMG, that watermelon, pork, and arugula salad might have been the best thing I ever ate. Fresh, sweet fruit, tangy, citrusy dressing, peppery arugula, and crisped pork that was fork tender. Cannot comment on the rabbit hash, just had too much food to consider and rabbit isn't my favorite so I didnt taste it. Piergois were wonderful, lamb meatballs super too. Followed everything with dessert and a Dark and Stormy (be ready for a spicy Dark and Stormy, they use fresh made ginger beer/soda, not your standard gingerale, and it has a definite kick). Be adventurous and try a variety here, you won't be disappointed and items are priced and sized to allow you to do just that. 4 bar drinks, 2 desserts and 7 menu items for $100, totally worth it. Did I mention we ate here for Sunday brunch as well? :)
(4)Eddie J.
This was as close to prefect as I think I am going to find. The service was out standing from the time we walked on the door. The food was amazing. I recommended the lamb or the hanger streak. Though I don't think you can get a bad meal.
(5)Brian M.
All members of party had great plates of food, staff was cordial and friendly. Wish i lived closer, this would be a hang-out.
(5)Tequila J.
Excellent spot. Service was top notch and the food was incredible. Oysters, muscles and hanger steak filled us up and made us happy!
(5)Sue P.
This was a great place in Glenwood Springs. Not many write ups so we just decided to go there. We have bee traveling for 3 weeks and have been to some really nice places. This was right up there with all of them but about half the price. Lots of nice wine by the glass. I had the duck meatloaf and the porcini braised rabbit. My husband had the crispy nori roll/salmon pastrami. For dessert we shared the butterscotch budding. It was all wonderful!
(5)Julie C.
This is one of our favorite restaurants in the state and never miss it when we visit Glenwood Springs. The restaurant is inviting and cozy and the food is fantastic. We also love that it has a kids menu, so everyone is happy. Never had a less than wonderful meal there.
(5)Sarah M.
Cute place, great, inventive dishes, but horribly slow service even on a slower night. I had the Eggplant canelloni with mushroom risotto, coriander tomato sauce, reggiano. Appetizers- short rib tacos with sesame chile salsa Rosa and kimchee. I don't even know where to start, but it was a lot of new flavors and combinations and I loved every bite of my dish and appetizers and of the taste of my husband's as well. Great portions as well. Smaller sized portions, but with the appetizers we felt pleasantly full, not over-stuffed. Would come back for the food but would hope for faster service. We were here for over 2 hours.
(4)M C.
Great atmosphere, very creative and tasty menu and a friendly staff. Feels like a restaurant you might find in the swanky parts of the town in a big city but it's still laid back and very relaxing atmosphere. For someone who's usually turned off by the typical self important, stuffy decor that the traditional restaurants try to present to make of up for quality (cough cough the steak house next door) this was a breath of fresh air. I had their rabbit loin wrapped in bacon as my "small platter" and then the lamb chops with some amazing curry fritters as my "big platter" and washed it down with some amber ale. The server was nice and friendly. The girl upfront was equally up to task. Observing the rest of the staff working and interacting with their customers I'd say they provide great service across the board. great place, highly recommend it, if you are in Glenwood Springs, CO.
(5)Steve W.
The combination of a creative menu and a room with an urban/chic vibe is surprising for a location outside of a city. Great food...the slow-cooked pork shoulder with mozzarella grits and the roasted chicken were fantastic...but don't let your foodie snobbishness make you overlook the burger, which is among the best I've ever had, anywhere. Props, too, to the bar's emphasis on local craft beers. All in all, a great restaurant - and kid-friendly, too (at least early).
(4)Lucas S.
Great food, friendly staff & good atmosphere Try the 'Elvis' while you figure out what to eat.
(5)heather p.
Good atmosphere, friendly staff, good food. Some unique dishes available, or some predictables as well. Yummy either way you go!
(4)Lola B.
Had the short rib hash, and my Mom had the wild mushroom and tomato hash. Sunday brunch. Delish!
(4)EM B.
My family and I are on vacation in Glenwood Springs/Aspen for our first time. We are from San Francisco where you cannot beat the 5 star food with famous chefs from around the world working on every corner. This place exceeded our expectations. From the decor to the atmosphere to the presentation. I cant even recommend one item because every single thing was exceptional! My family and I all shared bites since we couldnt resist asking each other for a taste. Whether passing through or staying for the night, you MUST dine here! 5 stars, amazing. and to think, in the middle of a small town in the rockies...
(5)Carole K.
Creative menu with mostly tasty outcomes. Very pleasant dining experience.
(4)Sarah B.
We must have been here on an off night because the other reviews were so positive. We found all of our food to be extremely salty, so much so that I could not finish my meal. Our server was great though, attentive without being annoying. I don't think we will be back next time we are in Glenwood.....too many other good choices to risk over paying for a block of salt.
(3)Lisa J.
The first time I went here (last year) it was awesome...after that just not that good therefore I will compromise on 3 stars. Bad service with mediocre food. We decided to sit at the bar to get a drink while we waited for our reservation. The bartender was a total crab...when you work with people you just have to pretend sometimes...not her. She took forever with our drinks and when I ordered my second wine to bring to the table she poured me the wrong kind. Then there was our waiter...I wanted to get the correct glass of wine but I thought whatever why be a bother...The table next to us had a basket of bread so I asked for one after we were sitting for at least 15 minutes! He brought one 10 minutes later with water. This may sound picky but he did not even pour our waters he just set the pitcher on our table. His explanation of menu items was off, he sounded confused and looked even more confused. What I ordered and his description did not match. The food was just OK, nothing special. The elk stew thing was over priced and was made to be set on a doll house table. The salad I could have ordered at a chain. The gnocchi and lamb meatballs were pretty. Next time when I am on a weekend getaway in Glenwood I will not be spending my money here.
(3)Brenda B.
Visited on 9/23/11 for dinner. We liked that the chef is 100% in favor of local farmers' fare and Colorado products in general. The ambiance is very nice and the place has a good "feel". The hostess was pleasant but was dressed in holey jeans--not the right 1st impression on a Saturday night for a nice/better place in beautiful Glenwood. Food was very reasonably priced and creative. I had lamb chops. Good but not great. The flavor was okay, not WOW, as it could have been. Same with my BF's fish, okay. Heirloom tomato salad and sour dough bread were very good. The wine list was also just okay, but overpriced! 3x plus as in the stores.
(3)J J.
Tv in the dining room? Ambiance is ok. Wait staff very friendly and efficient. Food was very good. Not a large selection for people that don't eat fish, duck or pork. A bit pricey.
(3)Jessica P.
What a great find!! We stumbled upon this restaurant while in Glenwood this past weekend and it was fantastic! A great variety of foods and everything we tried was amazing! In fact it was so amazing we went back the next night! Definitely recommend!
(5)Polina S.
4 of us - best restaurant we've ever eaten in. Everything. From the drinks to the apps to mains and desserts. Spent the entire night talking about how wonderful their food was. Very unexpected gem and so well priced.
(5)Gordon J.
Unique menu presented and prepared admirably, superb service, very reasonable prices. It does not get much better than this.
(5)patricia W.
What a great surprise! Excellent, creative cuisine in a friendly atmosphere. We had a fabulous meal and predict that you will as well. We'll definitely be back!
(5)Stephen H.
Fantastic Brunch spot and a great place to pop in for lunch. Creative menu that changes regularly and seasonally. Locally sourced and sustainable produce and meats.
(4)Brandon M.
Finally a quality restaurant delivering items that can't be found anywhere else. The food is so good it makes it difficult to eat at other restaurants. The best part I'd that everything on the menu was under 20$. These are the type of dishes you'd expect to pay close to a hundred dollars for in aspen. The restaurant was a bit loud so if your looking for a quiet romantic dinner rigid is not the spot. However if you'd like to be blown away by creative, delicious, and amazing food, this is the spot.Local to Glenwood springs for 13 years.
(5)Howard P.
I was in town on business and the hotel front desk suggested Pullman. Wow, what great surprise! Every dish was treat. I started with the pumpkin/butternut squash soup with a homemade marshmallow on top. It was an amazing collection of tastes. I had a small plate of goat nachos. Be sure to try this one. Dessert was the cake of the day, ginger cake with mango glaze. Don't miss this place!
(5)Anna S.
Went here after reading all the reviews and The Pullman lives up to them. Visiting with my two kids - picky picky eaters. They had the parm/rosemary fries for an appie. They devoured them. I had the kale, currant, pine nut salad. Never had kale in my live and loved it. Dinner - son had 4 cheese macaroni and cheese. "This is the best mac n cheese I have ever had." Daughter and I shared steak which was very good. Very tender, and cooked perfectly.
(4)Ira S.
Went to Carbondale CO for Super Bowl Sunday so we hit The Pullman in Glenwood Springs for their Sunday brunch. Started with a really unique drink, their signature bacon bloody Mary. BEST Bloody I have ever had! There were 4 of us so we tasted several apps and had 4 different entrees. It has been quite a while since a meal out seemed so completely flawless but this dining experience was just that, completely flawless! The entree I had was the short ribs hash. Incredible meal and totally unique. Best new eats on the Western Slope hands down. Enjoy!

Don't try to eat here if anyone in your group has a food allergy--they are unwilling/unable to serve someone allergic to peanuts/nuts. This is the first time a restaurant has ever told us they did not feel comfortable serving us (and we eat out a lot). I guess I appreciate their honesty but... The good news is that we went to Juicy Lucy's instead--amazing meal! Anyway, looks like a nice place (although VERY loud, even when not full); enjoy if you have no dietary restrictions.

Fun menu with a lot of variety. Four of us dined there on a Friday night. For fun, we tried to find something on the menu we would not want to try. Everything sounds good, and all the food we ordered was excellent. My wife Lamb Meatballs with little gnocchi like pasta. Also had Turnip Bisque, fantastic flavor with a cherry honey drizzle. Eggplant Cannelloni was very good. Also have some fantastic salads. This is a solid restaurant and worth a try.

Stopped here on the way from Denver to Grand Junction. The food is outstanding. A great creative menu with a wide variety of choices. Good for carnivores and vegetarians. Nice decor and good service. I had roast pork with grits and a bacon gravy. Yummy. Portions are a little bit small. Fine for most people and similar to other upscale restaurants, but if you are generally a big eater or going out after a big day outdoors, you might come away hungry. Prices are slightly less than what I'd expect for this quality of food.

Gastropub with nice ambience and good service. Food was a bit of a mix: eggplant cannelloni inconsistently cooked through, and the sauce didn't delight; pumpkin cheesecake was poorly executed with gelatinous chunks and too-hard crust - but the burrata was superb and homemade kimchi delicious. Worth a visit if you're lucky enough to pick the right dishes.

Great food very fresh. The lamb meatballs were great. the price was fair. really like the use of local ingredients.

Hands down the best restaurant in the Roaring Fork Valley. Well priced to as not to deter you from trying, let's say, ALL of the apps/small plates, incredibly innovative with the menu, and absolutely delicious. My husband and I cook at home a lot and only go out every once in a while as it gets frustrating to pay lots of money for things you could do better at home. After our most recent visit to the Pullman where LITERALLY every bite was followed by an 'OMG', we decided that if we go out, let it always be the Pullman and we should order whatever we want. The last dinner we had there was $100 including tip - we order oysters, 3 starters, 1 main and 2 glasses of wine and 2 beers. The only thing I think it could use is some large rugs as it's pretty loud in there and slightly stark with the concrete floors.
(5)Rich G.
Good food, we experimented and tried some specials. Rabbit, duck, and the pulled pork. All were good. If you like rhubarb, they have the dessert for you. If you don't like tart desserts, pick something else.
(4)Mary G.
excellent place! just a gem of a restaurant with wonderful flavors, great staff and a great location. this is one of the places that you would find in new york or a great city with eclectic flavor and esthetics. i would go back here each and every time i was in glenwood!! i highly recommend this place to anyone who loves food! if you are more of a chain restaurant place, then perhaps you would not appreciate the ambiance and the concepts of the cuisine.! I had fried goat cheese donuts as well as the hanger steak and the rabbit! delish! nice job to the staff!

Brought my in-laws to the pullman today for dinner (9-11-11) we drove up from Grand junction. the decor was inviting and clean. the service was poor. We had 3 different servers. one was the bartender. we were left to look over the menu for about 10 minutes in a nearly empty dining room. Our appetizers (squash blossoms) were overpriced but tasty. the first server told us she would bring bread that never came. our water glasses sat empty from the time the entree arrived until the end of the meal. my Lamb chops were undercooked, My in laws both ordered trout which was overcooked, and the asparagus on my mothers plate was almost raw, while the asparagus on my fathers plate was soggy and limp. when we complained about our poor service they comped the appetizers (a whopping 9 bucks) off our 120.00 meal (without drinks) and the excuse for poor service and poor quality food was that we came just before their shift change from brunch to dinner. (we arrived at 5 pm.) I would not recommend wasting your time or money here. I will never go back.

Eff Juicy Lucy! Just kidding. I've never been there. But that's what my boyfriend said halfway through our fantastic meal at the Pullman regarding the restaurant we *almost* visited instead. In all honesty I'd give the atmosphere a 3.5-4, same goes for the service. The 5-star rating, as such, is a testament to how unbelievably good the food is here! Here's the rundown: 1. Oysters on the half--"dressed differently every day". I don't remember how they were dressed, but OMG, they were garlic-y and delicious, and quite frankly the BEST oysters I've ever had. 2. Bacon beignets AHHH-MAZING. My boyf sopped up every. last. drop of the maple crèma they rested on, using the awesomely dense bread we were given (after the beignets were gone). I was honestly a little embarrassed by the cleanliness of his plate. I told him to stop and wait for the next course, to which he responded, "Em, we're in Glenwood springs." Point taken. 3. The roasted beet salad - very good. 4. The butternut squash salad - one of the best salads I've ever tasted. Seriously, you have to try this. Unique and incorporates a great variety of textures and flavors. 5. The grilled hanger steak - my boyf got it sans blue cheese, which would have made it better. It was good- well cooked and flavorful. 6. My entree, the shrimp and grits, stole the spotlight. The bacon tomato broth that was poured over it made the dish out-of-this-world. It was extremely flavorful. 7. Butterscotch budino w salted caramel. Okay, so I gave up dessert for Lent and couldn't try this. Boyf said it was reeeally good. In fact, he at it all, and he's not all that big on dessert. 'nuff said. 8. House wine. A pino noir on-tap and sold by 100 mls. We had a lot. It was fun. One of the greatest meals ever in Glenwood Springs....whoooda thunk it? This place is a MUST-try! I spoke to a bartender at the Colorado Hotel and she highly recommended the cauliflower gratin, which I didn't get to try, as well. Do. It.
(5)Candis H.
Looked great, great ambiance too. Greeter said "what can I help you with?" Is it not obvious we're here to eat?! She told us 45 min wait Bc we had no reservations but the place was almost empty. They have signs all over trying to be cute about how if you have polite kids they're welcome and things about unattended kids and such. I think they want to be nicer restaurant than they are. Want you to make reservations and don't want kids. Get over yourselves.
(2)Jeff L.
We went to The Pullman after reading excellent Yelp reviews and also getting a recommendation from a local. The service was excellent. The menu was small but interesting. The bottom line for my visit was that my meal wasn't very good but my girlfriend's was excellent. I had the "barbecue" pork, which other Yelp reviewers loved. I think I jus caught them on an off night because the pork was dry and mealy, probably just over cooked. Donna had the roast chicken and it was perfect. The rest of the meal was great.

My Country tis of thee, How fine your food can be, Here at The Pull-man! Standard American food has never looked so good. Drooling over dish after dish I could hardly make it though half of the menu when I found Mac n Cheese with Guerre. I almost cried on the spot. What a beautiful molding of such magical creations! How I managed to read on, still boggles my mind, but I am glad I did, for I found my life blood, Pulled Pork. BBQ Chipotle pulled pork with cheese embraced by a cheddar biscuit with bacon, to be exact. I was immediately filled with the finest joy that only pig bits can bring. Needless to say, I went with that, and I will be back for the Mac n Cheese another day. Oh hail their Glorious Golden God of a pig (seriously though, it's throne is over by the kitchen)! I was even lucky enough to witness my friends dish of short rib over a cheesy hash brown medley (I will come back for that as well. Despite the perfection of all these dishes, they are quite reasonably priced. My dish was only $11! Heck, you can get a really crappy sandwich for that... I like the open environment inside. It's nice seeing what the cooks are creating, and having the smells waft over the entire restaurant. Tables were clean cut, and well spaced. The rags as napkins were a nice touch too, implying that really, they want you to enjoy your food. Our server was very pleasant and wasn't badgering about ordering the specials or having to have desert. I'm pretty sure the owner was walking around (due to his dressed down attire compared to everyone else), which was a nice touch knowing he was close by, but not claiming his greatness, by any means. If I am ever bringing family, a date, a friend, or a foe to glenwood for a meal, this will be in my top 2. Pure truth can be sought in the eyes of those who dine on swine.

I grew up in this area, it was wonderful to come back for a visit and and find a great place for some amazing food.
(5)liz T.
My favorite meal on vacation in Colorado was at The Pullman. We ate there about a month ago and I am still thinking about it. I had a the local fresh caught trout... so good. Really creative menu. Try the Gnocchi salad... yep, you read that right. Fantastic. Finally a place that wasn't just burgers and ribs! If I get back to the area I'm definitely going to dine here again.
(5)Eric H.
I agree with the other reviews! Great food and great service. Some unique menu items and flavor combinations. An unexpected mountain gem.
(5)James M.
My Fiancee and I ate there on 2-9-13, as I had lunch there a week or so before and it was really good. So expecting a good quality dining experience I took her there bragging on this place and have to say it was really a let down. The food was not the issue, it was acceptable to good. We each had an appetizer and a small plate. She had the Pork Rinds (and it was like ordering a bag of them at the convenience store). Sorry, we'll take that one, although I would have at least expected something to of put on them or a dipping sauce or something. I had the Short Rib Taco's. These were really good except there were only three of them and they were the size if a 50 cent peice. She had the small plate pierogis, and I had the small plate rabbit dish. Both of these were very good, but again, not much for portion size.....I guess that is what we should expect thogh when we ordered off of the small plate menu. So over all the food was really good, and I have no complaints with the quality of it. The real issue was the service, or the lack there of. I don't know what our servers name was, but it said Chris on the reciept afterwards. I think either he needed a lot of help, or should find something else to do for a living, as the service was subpar. We even had a couple of other servers come by and ask if there was anytihng we needed which we did and told them, only to of never seen them again... either of them. The greeter at the door wearing the tropical hawaiian shirt asked us on our way out how everything was. I told him the FOOD was fine but service was bad. He told me he understood, and simply told us it was because they were "busy". You know what. I am going to help you out with that busy part guy, and not come back. Hope you stay busy. I don't see that happening though unless you improve your attitude and customer service skills though.
(2)Devon P.
My husband and I were visiting for the weekend and went to the Pullman because of a friends recommendation. The food and service were amazing. The decor was trendy and modern. My husband had raw oysters and said they were great. I had the chicken and it was awesome! It was moist and flavorful which isn't always the case at other places. My husband loved the trout and we were both happy with our meals. We had the blueberry bread pudding and it was to die for, sooo good. I would recommend this place to others!
(5)Caleb C.
Went to the Pullman on a Friday evening for an early dinner. What a great place. The food was creative and tasty. The space was certainly pleasant and we had excellent service.
(5)Debbie H.
The food was territifc! What more do you need to say. Well, there is morE, our server, John, was excellent. His timing was perfect, he had a great personality and he knew the menu and wine list to perfection. Mark came over to the table and introduced himself, always a plus to meet the chef. ALso liked the decor. Not many 'nice' looking restaurants in Glenwood (not that we found anyway). This is clam, relaxing and clean. Do not miss this one. You will have a great dining experience!!
(5)Rachel J.
Very delicious food, but I felt it was overpriced. I ordered the eggplant cannoli from the "large plate" side of the menu, but it was not very much food for $13. I ended up ordering the mashed potatoes (also very delicious) for an extra $5.
(4)Liz R.
My boyfriend and I stopped here on the way to Denver for lunch, and we instantly fell in love. I got an amazing beet and arugula salad, and it was one of the best salads I've ever had. I also got their pea soup, and it was delish! My boyfriend got the grilled cheese, and he was immensely pleased even though he can be a bit of a food snob. The service was great, and I thought the pricing was fair. I would love to try this out for dinner some night!
(5)Shanette M.
Sweet baby Jesus! This meal was soo f**king Amazing, & I took it carry out!! I had the bone marrow soo good & this is coming from a gal who had a roommate long ago that kinda ruined it for her. Lamb entree incredibly scrumptious!! Two deserts cause why not, the carrot cake was de- lish & the salted Choco pie. I mean thank god I did take out cause then I didn't have to embarrassed myself. The only problem is I live in Denver, I will be back.
(5)Becky T.
Food is amazing. Certainly worthy of any Denver foodie and probably any other. Bone marrow "snack" delicious! Blue cheese dip, amazing. Colorado mules...to die for!
(5)Stacy P.
I have to thank my fellow Yelpers for finding The Pullman while in Glenwood Springs! I found myself wandering around their old town area solo, and I was ready for lunch. A quick Yelp search showed me that the Pullman was one of the highest rated joints in town and - bonus - about a block from the place I was standing. I headed straight over and grabbed a seat at the bar. The bartender was knowledgeable and friendly. He offered suggestions for beer (where they had only a few draught options) and food (where they had MANY options). I opted for that day's special, which was a cold smoked pork sandwich with slaw on the side. I must admit, I headed in pretty hungry but wasn't able to finish the whole thing. They were very generous with the meat, which was appreciated since it had been cooked to perfection. If you're in town, check it out - who doesn't love a beer and some good food after a day on the slopes?
(5)Julia R.
Great dinner! Chose this based on yelp reviews and wasn't disappointed. We traveled from Denver to Glenwood Springs and did the hanging table hike along the way so we were starving by the time dinner came around. Booked with open table and happy we did as it was busy. Ordered some beers to go with the deviled eggs ($1.50 ea) and goats cheese fritters ($10). My partner ordered the natural chicken with spring vegies and I got the Colorado bass ($20 ea). Really great with some crispy potatoes ($5). Great service, excellent atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed our Pullman experience.
(5)Ashley B.
Here's the thing- I had a good time at the Pullman. I enjoyed some of the food here very very much. I am being critical of them, however. Why? Well, because they should know better. See, this isn't a one-off place. The people that own this also own Phat Thai (Carbondale) and Harman's (Now in Cherry Creek) and Town. I am *convinced* that the only reason this place is so cult-like in the area is because it is the ONLY place in Glenwood Springs that even attempts to do New American food. If you are between Edwards (where you should go to Dish!) and Aspen, this is your only bet for nouveau food (except their other restaurants). I wouldn't say they're phoning it in but they're coasting. We came here early-ish on a weekday evening, after going elsewhere for Happy Hour, because the Pullman doesn't offer one; minus one star because not having happy hour is just plain stupid. We got seated and ended up ordering beers (pretty reasonably priced) because cocktails are all around $10. I will say they had an amazing wine special though we didn't order it. For food we ordered: the fried artichokes, the duck n' waffles, and the special for the evening. The only thing everyone actually liked was the special- shaved cured pork with shaved radish, fennel, and some arugula all in a vinegar dressing, topped with rye croutons and mustard ice cream. Yes, it was as amazing as it sounds and I admired the play with temperature. I do think the artichokes were good but mostly because they were large artichoke heart quarters, not tiny pieces. Whatever they were served with was not as it was described and the wedges of olives on the stone tablet (not plate) were pointless. The duck n' waffles, which my father really pushed for, were to me totally......meh. The real (and very problematic) issue with this dish is that the description- "duck n' waffles- balsamic cherry jam" does not at all impart that this is actually 4 small wedges of cold reheated-to-room-temp waffle topped with what I think was a duck terrine, and some not at all flavorful (let alone tart) cherry jam. Pullman, take note- Blue Star, a restaurant I do not like in Colorado Springs, even makes this dish a hell of a lot better than you do, so take note. My parents both were not fans of this dish and I can't blame them. We did get dessert, which was the only other remarkable dish. The strawberry-rhubarb ravioli with basil ice cream was very very well made, although the pastry was not described and quite hard. Honestly, the Pullman should probably just become a Haute Cuisine ice cream shop, and they'd be a lot more successful; the only dishes we all loved were the ones that involved unusual ice creams, and those were the stars. I would return here, but mostly because there's very little else in this town, which is exactly the problem, I think. If anyone else enters with real competition, Pullman will have to step up, or find somewhere else.
(3)Lindsey M.
We walked in at ten o'clock on the dot (there were quite a few people anticipating Pullman's opening) and were greeted by friendly staff. Our server was great, as was our good and drinks. The pickled bacon deviled eggs were delicious, as was my corner beef hash. My husband was happy with the size and quality of his burger as well. Great place! We will definitely go back next time we are visiting.
(5)Cat S.
Two times in two days. That's how good The Pullman is. We had a mini weekend trip to Glenwood Springs and convinced our friends that dinner at the Pullman would be in their (our) very best interest. Luckily, my friends are cool. Everything I had that night was delicious.. from the Colorado Bass (the carrot ginger sauce that I wanted to lick off the plate) to the pork rinds, to the duck meatloaf and pierogis, and finally the creamed spinach. Delicious - all of it. Too bad none of us had room left for dessert. Because that happened, I convinced the bf that we absolutely had to come back to the Pullman for lunch the next day, just to taste the dessert. So I kept it small and got the gnocchi salad and wow, it was a killer salad. Loved the parmesan and truffle oil that they used, along with the grilled mushrooms and gnocchi. Mmm.. salivating while thinking about it. We made sure to leave room for dessert and chose the nutella bread pudding and the salted peanut butter pie. Both so so so so so so good. I especially loved the bacon ice cream that came with the nutella bread pudding. Both times the service was really spot on and helpful and I have nothing but praise for The Pullman (maybe a tiny desperate wish that it was located closer to the Denver area).

Had dinner reservations last night at 7:15, a little concerned as there was a crowd of people trying to be seated without reservations, and group by group they were turned away with an estimate of an hour plus wait. They acknowledged our reservation, and took us immediately to our table. Pleasant hostess, poured us water as soon as we sat down, chatted for a moment and then back to her post. The atmosphere was great, sort of modern but still warm and comfortable. Our server was attentive and pleasant, even taking time to chat here and there although she was obviously busy. We ordered drinks while looking at the menu, and honestly they took a bit longer than they should have to arrive, but not an issue. The beer was really good and my wife had a signature cocktail that was also really good. We ordered appetizers, and entrees.every bite was great. The food arrived a little haphazardly, but promptly and with all the waitstaff pitching in to assist. All in all The Pullman was a great experience. I will be back and will definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.
(5)Shaun B.
Every time i am in glenwood this is a must go. It is a little pricy but always worth it. My recommendation to others is, ask them whats special and just take their word and get it. Elk Meatloaf? FANTASTIC! Pickled deviled eggs? AWESOME! It may sound strange but i have yet to have a bad item there.

Came here for my husband's birthday. Delicious food, good service. Loved the puerogies!

1st Anniversary Dinner WOW!!!! What a great restaurant starting off from service from our wonderful waitress Amanda which made our night so memorable. She was never afraid to list recommendations off of the menu her personality made me and and my wife feel so welcomed. This was our first time to Glenwood Springs and we wanted to dine in a place that we would not have any problems. Being that I am a Food and Beverage Director for a hotel in Downtown Denver we hardly ever have a meal that I am not noticing a few missed steps but its human nature when you are in this business. Our Waitress Amanda made sure every need was meet and to the Chef best Lamb ive had in a long time perfect medium. MY OVERALL SCORE IS NOT A 5 BUT A 10 AND BELIEVE ME YOU WILL SEE US VERY SOON. Every element is great from the atmosphere, food, great beverages (ever summer cocktail) to everyone being so polished and hats off the management team great moral with the staff the happiest staff ive seen in a long time. Thank you, Jesus & Jennifer Pacheco
(5)Enrique V.
Great dining experience! First night in Glenwood Springs we decided on eating at the Pullman. What a great place with great food and service. Our waitress was exceptionally knowledgable about the menu and was very courteous. The food was amazing, the menu options were great and quirky. I say quirky because I had not seen several of the menu items before which made the experience even better....we like to try new things...especially if they taste as good as Pullman's food. We will be going back before our trip is over. Went back for a second time and was just as happy. Recommend asking to be sat in Emily's section, she is awesome.
(5)Betty C.
Very nice minimalist atmosphere. Sweet potato chips with blue cheese sauce were awesome. Try them with some sriracha sauce for a little kick of heat. It was hard to decide what to order from the menu as all of the eclectic dishes sounded delicious. The crispy calamari salad was delicious if not quite a different pairing of elements. The arugula was a bit too strong for the delicate flavor of the tempura style very crunchy calamari. The chili Asian vinaigrette was a bit too mild for my liking. The pulled pork barbecue sandwich was good but did not compare to the Arapaho Café in Dillon.
(4)Chris H.
This place blew me away. My fiance and I went here on our anniversary vacation up to Glenwood Springs and we were not disappointed. The prices were good and the food was outstanding, innovative and fun. GET THE HEIRLOOM TOMATO SALAD! As wonderful as our meal was, that salad took the cake. I've also honestly never had such good service. Our server was so informative and fun that it really made the experience that much better.
(5)Kathy C.
Great customer service. Great food without being pretentious. The steak salad and roasted chicken were awesome. The chicken was tender and very well seasoned. It was served with brussels, fennel and bacon. The steak on the salad was cooked perfectly and the salad was a generous portion. Two in our party got the specials, which was scallops with risotto. The flavors melded very well, but the portion was slight for the price.

Every time we come here for dinner, we have a great meal. It's not always perfect, but they make things right. It is always interesting innovative and taste great
(5)Erin E.
Amazing foodie haven right here in Glenwood Springs. I've been for both brunch and dinner and every time the experience and food have been fantastic. This is a great place if you like to play with your food, as there are many small plate options. Recently ate a late Christmas Eve dinner here and it was great. We weren't starving, so we ordered the kimchi with peanuts, pierogies with lemon creme fraiche, and a steak/blue cheese salad. Along with a few microbrews. Perfect pre-holiday dinner. The tap list switches up quite frequently- The Pullman highlights only four at a time, and each time I've been here it is something different than the last. But no worries- they have micros in the can/bottle. Their cocktail creations are always a hit and can quickly add up on the bill! As long as you're not a picky eater who won't try anything new/different, you will be impressed!
(5)Chelsea A.
Blueberry cobbler with sour cream ice cream! Duck meatloaf! The Pullman is my favorite restaurant EVER! I have never had such a delicious meal. Everything about this place is bomb.com . Make a reservation and GO!
(5)Tony O.
Delicious. 5 people with different food interests all ate and were happy with their meals. Cheap as well. Great location in downtown if your coming off the mountain or out of the hot springs
(5)Stephen P.
I'd expect this type of high-quality, chef-forward restaurant to be in Boulder or Denver. Perhaps if it was, I'd give it 4 stars ... but this great value in a tourist area give it an extra boost. We had the duck meatloaf and pork shoulder, everything had a creative mix of ingredients and beautiful presentation. Solid craft beer selection.
(5)Jason M.
Been here many times, make it a point to stop in every time I'm in Glenwood Springs. Consistently good food, changing, inventive, seasonal menu, and always good service. A real small town gem.

Tremendous example of new American. Excellent options. Good portion size. Comfortable ambiance. Top notch service from Luke.
(5)Will H.
Pullman was excellent all around, from food to service. Definitely recommended, and we will be back!
(5)Kristi M.
I'm rating The Pullman four stars, based on food and atmosphere. The food was simple, yet amazing. Portions are small, so I would suggest adding a salad or appetizer to your entree. I ordered a steak and my husband had the duck. The steak was perfectly prepared. I ended up sharing a bit of it with my husband because the duck portion was so small. Our server was ok. He was quite flighty and seemed to have too many tables to take care of. He seemed confused when I asked about a gluten free option. I believe that, at one point, he honestly forgot about our table. Despite some mishaps, I would still return based on the restaurant doing things right. Good food, good booze and a fun atmosphere.
(4)Shannon C.
So glad that my fellow Yelpers directed us to this place. We had one of the best meals I've had in a VERY long time. Our server was amazing, very personable and efficient. She shared the specials with us, and we decided to split the small plate and entree specials. The small plate was a pork tamale wrapped in a banana leaf, with a wonderful salsa/relish on top of tomatoes and golden raisins. The raisins had re-hydrated while sitting in the relish into these wonderful little flavor bombs that not only perfected the relish, but complemented the tamale perfectly. The beau enjoyed a beer flight of their rotating taps while we waited for our entree-- mushroom agnolotti with goat. I'd never had goat before, but our server vouched for the dish, so we went for it. So glad we did! The fresh mushrooms inside the cheese-less agnolotti were bathed in this glorious broth that burst into your mouth in heavenly fashion. The goat was super tender and had a very rich flavor, which was offset perfectly by the lemon-herb creme fraiche and the mixed vegetable garnish on top. We decided to throw our discipline out the window and ordered the apple ravioli for dessert. Forget what you know about savory ravioli-- these ravioli were fried to a perfect crisp and then covered in a generous layer of cinnamon sugar, effectively becoming mini apple pie pockets. AAH-MAZING! The gingerbread ice cream and rum caramel sauce served with them were also delicious, and before our server could return to ask us how dessert was, we had completely cleaned the plate. I absolutely LOVED this place, and will definitely be back; even if I have to make a special trip to Glenwood Springs just to dine here!
(5)Christopher B.
This place is not for everyone. You have to appreciate something different and appreciate that it's coming from chef because if you don't then you'll feel ripped off for the small portion you're getting to the price you're paying. All in all, I thought the food was good but fell a bit short of my expectations. I had the rabbit special, which I think I've only had once in my life. I thought the rabbit was prepared very well (almost looked like carnitas) and the dish overall was fine but not memorable. I also had some of the cianfotta, which I felt the pesto overwhelmed the dish and there was way too much eggplant in comparison to all the other veggies. As for the ambiance, I loved it. It's an older building converted to a modern, minimalistic interior. The place was packed solid so we knew the food would be good. I just think if you're going to come here just know what to expect. You won't be disappointed by the experience.
(3)Lisa G.
Everything we ordered was delicious. We were served quickly. Service was friendly. Id go back if I was in the area
(5)Linda S.
Great food, inventive menu, enthusiastic server with great ideas. We pass through Glenwood frequently. We have tried different restaurants each time but nothing has measured up to the Pullman. This is our second time for dinner at The Pullman and we thought the food and service were up there with top flight big city and resort experiences. We had trout beignets, kale salad, filet, scallop appetizer, a side with brussels sprout, leeks and bacon, and pear crumble. All excellent! She servers were all hustling and had big smiles. My husband was delighted that they had a top flight non-alcoholic beer (not easy to find). We will definitely be back on our next trip through Glenwood Springs.
(5)Kimberly S.
OMGosh! To Die For! This place deserves 6 stars! NO KIDDING!!!! The reviews on The Pullman are top notch, and now I understand why - OMGosh! We had the Gnochi Salad - very good. We split the salad, it was more than enough for both of us, very good. Never would have thought of putting gnochi in a salad, but it worked! My husband had the artichoke bisque soup - he said it was very good, too rich for me. I did taste it, and it was good. We split the large plate special - pork shoulder. I can't begin to describe this dish. It just melted in the mouth! No Kidding! It was over a green garlic grits (or something like that), and some rhubarb (I believe, but don't quote me on that). I don't like grits, have never liked grits, but these were WOW! The pork shredded so easily, and the combination of all the different flavors, was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! It melted in the mouth - I already said that, but it did, it melted in the mouth! Oh, it was also more than enough for us to split too. Interior - black was the accent color, with dark green walls. It is open, and just a nice, friendly, welcoming, come in and stay a while, atmosphere. That doesn't even begin to describe it. Open, inviting, and you do, just want to sit, relax, and stay a while. There are approximately 20 tables, and a bar, with seating around it. There is one tv by the bar too. Parking - on the street, which can be hard in Glenwood Springs, especially when it's during the busy tourist season. Beverages - I had their coffee, and I really enjoyed it! I should have asked the brand, but didn't. Prices - approximately $20 or so for each person, but so worth it! Service - Excellent! Management - Awesome! Management, to me, is a reflection of the service, which is Excellent! So, Management is Awesome! Chef - WOW! He/She really knows his/her stuff! The flavor combinations, plating, everything, was so well done! KUDOS to the Chef! When to go - Whenever you can! We were in Glenwood Springs, during my birthday, and this was just the place to celebrate too! We will definitely go back! WOW!!!!

My boyfriend and I dined here the other night and our experience was top notch. Our server gave us some great suggestions. We started off with the CO Mule, very tasty. Then we got 2 small plates- house made burrata with grilled asparagus, shitake, tomato, pistachio butter and the crispy goat cheese with field greens, local melon, oregano vin. Both really good, but didn't realize both had small salads. The cheeses were so good on their homemade bread. For the main encore we got the roasted pork belly with parmesan grits, bacon braised kale, smoked cherry bbq. It was the best pork belly I've ever had. And while we were both full, we had to try dessert too. We opted for the butterscotch budino with rum caramel, vanilla foam. It was so good! I look forward to returning soon.

Very nice addition to the restaurants in Glenwood. Excellent food, very flavorful, great wait staff. A bit loud, but the tables aren't packed so close, it's tolerable. Will return!

The next day the boyfriend and I decided to try dinner hours. Ordered dishes included the red curry mussels ($14) and duck breast with a side of black eyed peas ($19). As appetizers we ordered the poutine ($8), which disappointingly did not come out as hoped - over baked with yellow cheese, no white curds (per mention in the menu) and topped with a tasty gravy. The dish was still edible but not phenomenal. As for the duck breast, the portion was small even though on the menu it is under the category of "large plates." The duck was cooked with a little pinkness and the black eyed peas were simple and unseasoned. The red curry mussels were good but I think it would have been great had there been coconut milk as an added ingredient in addition to bread for dipping in the sauce! The bf and I commented on the unexpected results of the poutine and to appease our disappointment Chad provided a complimentary eggnog budino dessert that was absolutely delicious and a reason to come back.

I actually ate here twice before writing just to be sure it's as good as I thought. I'm going back tomorrow. Creative, delicious, unique flavors...oh, and awesome craft beer on tap. Lunch: pulled pork sandwich with balsamic citrus bbq sauce. Whoa good. Also tried the special, braised short ribs pulled then put on an english muffin with an egg and spicy hollandaise sauce. Dinner: Crab dip with lemon emulsion and crustini. Pierogis with truffle potato, caramelized onions and creme fraiche. Desert was apple crisp ravioli with gingerbread ice cream. I don't normally post the dishes I eat, but that should give an idea of the menu. It's fantastic. I eat at so many restaurants that are nothing but the same thing, I love unique, especially when done well. Seriously, I can't recommend it enough. Great dining.

This place is a gem! My boyfriend and I were on our way to Aspen from TX and made a stop in Glenwood Springs for a lunch stop! We sat at the bar and tested a few cocktails off their menu--didn't disappoint! I could've stayed and tried them all if we didn't have to continue driving. I started with their soup of the day- a cauliflower bisque. Delicious! Not too creamy or too thick, just the right consistency and the flavor was on point! Next I had the gnocchi salad...omg best salad ever! Warm handmade gnocchi sautéed with mushrooms onions and butternut squash served under a bed of mixed greens topped with shaved Parmesan and tossed in a truffle vin! Need I say more? We will definitely be making a day trip just to eat here again!
(5)Duane B.
This really was an extraordinary restaurant experience. The menu was a bit surprising, almost like just a bunch of random foodie terms scrambled up. But each of the eight or nine dishes we ordered was terrific. Service was not fast but was excellent, our server was cheerful and extremely helpful and well-informed about the food. This place is a real find, probably the best restaurant on the Western Slope. Worth a trip to Glenwood in itself and certainly a great place to eat if you are driving through.

Well um, this is awkward. I think this is a Yelp over-hype thing. Our meal was fair. But not 'great'. I made reservations a couple weeks in advance for 6p-ish since no other times were available on Opentable. Further, I saw that a fellow foodie friend had been here and gave it a thumbs up so I thought it might be good. I was REALLY looking forward to this meal, and embarrassed myself by telling everyone in my group that they would love this place! There is nothing worse than stretching your neck out there to talk up a restaurant and then..bam! Mediocrity. We noshed on the poutine, ham and gruyere fritters, kale and parm salad, roasted chicken with butternut squash, risotto, pancetta, et al., scallops...it was 'good'. Again, I love the philosophy and descriptions of their menu but items were sort of overly nouveau without enough thought about food symphony. Things were pretty but did not taste good. Overall, we were at "meh" by desert time. Then, ultimately, the kids' dessert (vanilla bean ice cream with chocolate sauce) came out and my kid literally spit it out and said "YUCK!!" The adults - clearly alarmed that my gelato-loving child did not love his dessert - investigated further. Indeed, it tasted freezer-burned (forgivable as we assume restaurants scoop these portions into ramekins en masse), but the additional taste of 'scotch tape' and 'frozen onions' were fodder for conversation. We told our server, who agreed it tasted like chives although did not really offer any sort of apology or explanation. Kitchen staff dipped fingers into this sample..gave looks of yuck and then defensiveness..we thought that was odd. Fess up when you throw uncovered ramekins into the freezer with your soup/sauce/oniony thingy but no matter what get the kids a new ice cream!! I wanted to love this place. Disappointed.

This place blew my mind! Coming from San Francisco, we had low expectations on what kind of food we can find in Glenwood Springs. However the dinner at Pullman turned out to be one of the most delicious dinners we have ever had. We had the pork belly and calamari salad for appetizer. Both were 5 star worthy. The pork belly with their house kimchee and the slight hint of sweet & sour flavor is in particularly memorable. I loved the calamari and arugula salad too, even though I don't usually like arugula. We then had the lamb bolognese and seared scallops for the main course. The seared scallops were cooked perfectly, and the sauce that came with it was beyond words. The lamb bolognese was great too, it's on the less fancy side and more on the food-cooked-by-grandma side, and it warmed us from inside on that very cold day. We were very very impressed by the food from the Pullman, and only wished that we had stayed in Glenwood Springs for a couple of more days just to go back there!
(5)Jenny W.
This was a great find in Glenwood Springs! My husband and I are from the front range and frequent Boulder restaurants. We found this to be on par or better than some of the best restaurants in Boulder only half the price! We had dinner and everything was amazing. The Colorado mule cocktail, duck nuggets and a cantaloupe special were some of the highlights. We will definitely be back again!
(5)Mark S.
If you have read my other reviews you'll see they are more slanted towards the negative, do I have anything good to say about the restaurants in this area you may ask? the answer is a resounding, NO, went here to celebrate my wife's 30th birthday the other day, there was a nasty rain storm that afternoon as we arrived at the restaurant early (4:45pm), was it open? NO..... okay I thought just myself my wife and daughter, however, did they open for the numerous other guests that had turned up and were trying the locked front door before 5 pm? NO..... so we all waited, stupidly in the rain to be allowed entry into the establishment.....I've eaten here approximately 10 times since it has opened, and I've come to the conclusion that the inconsistencies in the food and service are this restaurant's consistencies............
(2)Kathy G.
Excellent local fresh food! There isn't anything you get that won't be really good. Great find
(5)Jay B.
This place has a great menu. According to our server parts of it change every couple months to maintain the locally sourced meals. Interesting selection of cocktails and good beer list. We had the special, which was a beef short rib with curry and Swiss chard orzo. Very delicious.

Great food, great service! All at a decent price.

I am giving the Pullman 5 stars as I believe it would do as well in a larger market (such as Denver) as it does in the more quaint Glenwood Springs. My husband and I started with the macaroni and cheese. The gruyere cheese and crispy crumbles on top make this dish! There was not a noodle left when we finished. At this point, bread came. i skipped it in favor of what I knew would be a delicious meal. I'm glad I saved room! I had the hangar steak cooked (Gasp!) medium well and it was still juicy and flavorful. It was cooked in red wine and the flavor was just right. My steak was served with fingerling potatoes, which were also...as good as you would expect fingerling potatoes to be. For the love of all that is good, order the butterscotch budino. Budino is a kind of pudding (Don't worry, we had to ask too). Seriously, if I were Oprah, this would be on my list of favorite things. The pudding has the right amount of salty flavor to be balanced perfectly by the vanilla "foam" (reads more like whipped cream) on top. I say budino is a "kind of" pudding because the consistency was much lighter, almost like a mousse. 2 days later and I am still dreaming of butterscotch. The decor is also nicely played-exposed brick, clever art, exposed lightbulbs hanging by wires... If The Pullman wasn't 3 hours away, we'd be back within 2 weeks!
(5)Liz B.
The Pullman provides upscale food with a local, friendly, flair. I had the Eggplant cannelloni and it was divine. The eggplant was roasted to perfection, the mushroom risotto was flavorful and the coriander tomato sauce had just enough spice to really add some kick to the dish. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the Elk Meatloaf and my daughter loved the grilled chicken salad that included grilled romaine.
(5)Krishna D.
Its all true. All of it. Every good review. The creators of the Pullman cafe and bar have a tight formula that delivers high quality, incredibly high quality food and service at shockingly reasonable prices. A big city panache, amazingly well done. Exposed brick in hardwood floor, two story ceilings and comfortable seatings, surrounded by huge windows on two sides giving you a view of the Denver Hotel and the train station. The street is now expanding to patio seating and only one way traffic, as of this posting, construction still goes on. But with all the restored brick buildings, the gorgeous and beautiful train station, the view and setting is already stellar. But if this was a dump, it would still be worth coming here for the food and service, and again those great great prices. I'm not talking about super crazy good prices, we're still talking $10 for a burger or a sandwich or more, but for the quality of the food most certainly reasonable. The entrees range from 11 to 20 ish, and the menu changes seasonally. They try as much as possible to use the whole farm to table philosophy. The bread is custom baked, they cure a lot of their own me, sustainable and humane meat on Lee need apply. For vegetarians, they keep it going to supply on the menu. Their burgers and sandwiches are all top notch versions, respective for juicy meat. Homemade sauces, quality cheese and the very deft hands in the kitchen. Something that you should never miss are the fries, small, perfectly crisp yet creamy, these fries stand up has some of the best I've ever had. Some of the rotating pasta dishes I've had have been sublime as well. In the eight times that I have attended here over 2 years of visiting, they always has it gnocchi on the menu, mac and cheese, and those sandwiches and burgers. If you are lucky enough to catch the duck carbonara, with one small, local egg poached on the pasta. A complex sauce featuring nuances that will make your mouth smile. The service is insanely professional and well done. They use a cadre of runners and wait staff, and order fulfillment is not dependent on one person. Given, I do usually don't eat with the herd, so I cannot vouch for their dinner practices, but with their dedication of the front of the house and management to top notch quality customer service, a great work environment, I cannot imagine that the busy nights are not handled well as could be. In two years of coming here, I already recognize several faces. Always the sign of a good organization in the service industry, at least in a competitive market, low turnover. If you are going into the restaurant business, you could do worse than to observe and emulate how the Pullman does business. One night while eating at the bar, I chopped it up with some of the employees. Evidently they now have three restaurants in Colorado and looking for a fourth. Clearly, the formula is working for them. The mac and cheese, for me is not four star. But I make a very good mac and cheese and I have high standards . It is amazing how many times with those high standards I have been transported to admiration and pleasurable wonder by the food here. I think the only bad experience I've had with anything here was the pork belly. Small portion and not at all up to pork belly renditions that I was used to. Nothing to worry about for you, it hasn't been on the menu for over a year and I'm sure if it comes back it will be better then what I had. And by the way, I finished that pork belly, every bit. Small shout out to the staff, I'm the giant who's been there before and will be back again, enjoyed all your individual service. Been in the service industry and many levels of it for most of my career, hats off and big props to ya. I look forward to my next visit to Colorado and the Pullman cafe.

Without a doubt, 5 stars are warranted! Truly a great restaurant in town. A must try is the bone marrow! The Caroque Madame (sandwich) is outstanding! This has to be the most magnificent restaurant in all of Glenwood Springs. The food is outstanding! I would love to have this restaurant in the Denver area. Truly you have to try this restaurant to understand how fantastic the food is. The service is amazing. The waiter for the table next to us sat down and was shooting the breeze with the other customers. It is a place where service, and that of the consumer are number one. I look forward to going here again in the future, that is, whenever I get back to Glenwood Springs, or around the area.
(5)Janelle E.
After seeing the wide range of reviews I was hesitant but with some coddling from friends I jumped in. The bartenders were very knowledgeable, attendant, and helpful. The seared duck with okra and polenta was good but not extraordinary - needed something.....however...the Black Forest bread pudding with a glass of red wine was the best thing I've had in awhile. Ask for extra cherries!
(4)Sonia H.
OMG! From the watermelon salad to the black forest bread pudding (with homemade nutella). A culinary experience.
(5)Brandon M.
This place was fantastic, a true pork-lover's Mecca. 5/5 for presentation 5/5 for variety on menu 5/5 for taste 5/5 for service 5/5 for speed (our small plates were out in less than 8 mins) We ordered: Simple Greens - salad, self-explanatory Short Rib tacos- very tasty, but kind of hard to eat as an actual taco. Pork Belly- very crispy outside while still extremely tender in the center. Pork Chop Porterhouse (special)- I've never had a pork chop this good before. All of the sides amounted to the taste of thanksgiving in your mouth. I would definitely come back if I were in Glenwood Springs. This restaurant could easily thrive back home in Chicago and could compare to some of the great culinary experiences there.
(5)Lisa P.
Incredible food! But it is pricey and the portions are on the small side. Nice ambiance. Call for a reservation, because they are often booked.
(4)Sean K.
The best meal we had in Glenwood Springs! On recommendation from the waiter, I had the pork shoulder and cleaned my plate. My wife had the colorado bass, which was also excellent. Don't miss the gnocchi salad or the picked deviled eggs!
(5)Alysia K.
Had a burger and a salad and it was okay. The service however was horrific. It took 10 minutes for me to be acknowledged that I had arrived. It also took over an hour for me to be initially served until time I left and I was the only person in my party. Very very very disappointed in the service, and I spoke to the manager about it and he did nothing to attempt to rectify it I would not recommend this place to anyone
(1)Julie H.
You know a restaurant is great when the Dr. says something like "Let's go to Glenwood Springs so we can eat at The Pullman again". It's almost a 3 hour drive from Denver and I wouldn't say it's THAT good but it's easily the best meals we have had in Glenwood. Also, a must stop on the way back from Palisade. It's a very nice meal in a causal environment. About the food... it's hard to tell you what to order because everything we have had was fantastic. They have that 'farm to table' thing going so everything is uber fresh. I'm somewhat in love with the pork belly with apple butter and crispy brussels sprouts. The combination is absolute perfection. We usually split a few plates but their sandwhiches are very filling on their own. My son usually just has a negotiation with our server on what they can make him that day... it's pretty cute how well he interacts with wait-staff these days. They also have always had a few outstanding draft beers on tap and full bar with talented staff. This is always a must for a 5-star rating.
(5)Alexis G.
The Pullman was a nice find on our way to Snowmass. The location is great -- it is a in the cute downtown area across from the river. I ordered the Cobb sandwich with a side of the kale salad. The sandwich consisted of turkey, bacon, avocado, and bleu cheese. Nice flavors. The kale salad was served with pine nuts and currants. The currants made the salad too sweet. It would have been better if it had a little acidity to cut the sweetness. Next time, I will try the simple salad instead of the kale salad. Another slight downfall of The Pullman was the service. Our server had too much attitude that detracted from the experience. If I pass through Glenwood Springs again, I will give the Pullman another try, but I will hope for better service.

This is the worst place I have been to in my life worst customer service I had ever had!!!!!!
(1)Suzanne S.
Went there for a girls weekend after a day of pampering. We were able to just walk there from the lodge. The food was fantastic. We each tried to get something different to share, but there was so much food, we couldn't finish it all. Salads were fantastic. Kept thinking of how much my husband would love this place. I am definitely coming back with him next time!
(5)Kristi S.
I had two AMAZING meals here in July and one ok meal here last Friday. Based on July - 5 stars, based on Friday night - 3 stars. The difference was in the server. The poor guy seemed very new, frazzled and didn't know much about the menu or the wine list. I had to ask for a desert menu as he was ready to bring the check. It was a bit disappointing given our meals in July were outstanding and last Friday my steak was only warm-ish. Everyone has an off day. Overall, a gem of a restaurant in Glenwood Springs. Hopefully the new guy will get some more training. I would give them another shot.
(4)Joey R.
This place is awesome have lived in the valley for 6 months and just ate here for the first time wow amazing best food up here by far I'm from Southern California and this is just like being at home. It's a must if your in glenwood

Two trips to Glenwood Springs, two dinners at The Pullman, two enthusiastic thumbs up! The space is decidedly industrial but nicely warmed up with exposed brick and beautiful gray walls, a wood ceiling in the bar area, lots of big windows throughout, and a large open kitchen fronted by a whimsical pig statue. I'm not exactly sure what the pig is all about but I'm guessing it's some kind of tribute to the restaurant's philosophy of using only fresh, local, in-season ingredients. During our most recent visit, I began the meal with the night's special tomato soup with candied almonds. The soup's puree texture and delicious smoky flavor was wonderfully accented by the sweet roasted almonds. The Hubs chose the roasted cauliflower salad with shishito pepper relish served on a bed of arugula. The buttery cauliflower was a great compliment to the fresh, crisp arugula and sweet peppers. For entrees, I had the hugely portioned grilled hangar steak au poivre with a cheesy cauliflower gratin. The steak was perfectly cooked and I honestly have never enjoyed cauliflower more. The Hubs had the venison pasta special with a light creamy cheese sauce. I can't remember what kind of pasta was in the dish (maybe it was gnocchi?) but it was freshly made and the venison was tender and well-seasoned. It was the perfect hearty dish for that crisp, cold night. We chatted a minute with the manager when he came by our table to make sure everything was going well. He said it's a good place to be and the owners and chef are outstanding. I definitely agree and can't wait for our next visit to Glenwood.
(5)Patrick B.
A really well-thought-out casual bistro. Good wine list, thoughtful and versatile menu, and even good cocktails. I absolutely loved the steak salad. a good mix of flavorful greens and sharp, spicy blue cheese dressing, with frites as a kind of crouton! hanger steak cooked to desired temp with a nice amount of char. My partner had the ricotta gnocchi and coriander creamed corn. Awfully good but not as good as my steak salad! Good service and even the kids menu was thoughtful and well designed. We're going back for lunch today.
(4)Susan H.
Delicious. Such a nice alternative to the dated steakhouses and burger joints in Glenwood. The waiter was an absolute doll, very nice to the boy. Even though they have a pointed sign at the door "Your Well-Behaved Children are Welcome".....We had two appetizers (the truffled fried pigskin is so good it's stupid), wine and beer (their house red is really surprisingly good) three entrees and got out of there for just about $100..... which for the area, is a bargain. And the food is fantastic - I had a slow-roasted pork shoulder chunk nestled in a bed of creamy grits, topped with a pickled radish slaw. The waiter said it was a "deconstructed pozole", which hadn't occurred to me, but it was true! Fantastic place.

The Pullman came highly recommended from several people when I mentioned that I was traveling to Glenwood Springs. I knew I had to give it a shot. This restaurant was exceptional in every way! First of all the service was some of the best I've ever seen in a crowded restaurant. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and answered all of our questions without hesitation. We even had another staff member come over to check on us several times to see if what we ordered was up to our satisfaction. The staff was fast to get our food out...second to none. The food was amazing as well. I ordered mussels which were some of the best I have ever tasted. They came with a special kind of sausage in the broth and a rolled up pork rind on top. My girlfriend ordered the calamari salad which was also exceptional. We had duck nuggets for an appetizer which were also very good. I can't say I have ever had duck nuggets before so the second server came over to explain how they are made from the shavings off of one of their other main dishes...very interesting we thought. Overall I would say if you are in Glenwood Springs for ANY amount of time, you have to eat at The Pullman!
(5)Michelle C.
Don't set your expectations sky high because of the great reviews! The gnocchi salad was memorable, but entrees were just decent. We were here on a busy night and the service was extremely lacking. Took way too long to place our order, get refills, and our check at the end of the meal. Overpriced as well.
(2)Nikki G.
Yum! Great vegetarian options and the cocktails were awesome. The waiter was a lot of fun and the decor was really nice. Very unique and eclectic food for their location on a pretty touristy strip.
(5)Michelle L.
This place was amazing! I recommend making reservations. Delicious local brews on tap, best steak I have ever had and great salad choices. Intriguing menu!
(5)Wes M.
Excellent food, service, beers, and cocktails. We'll be returning here every time we're in Glenwood Springs.
(5)Nathalie A.
I was a solo walk in on a very busy Mother's Day Brunch. They accommodated me quickly with a very nice corner table. From the host to my server everyone was friendly and made great recommendations. I loved my corned beef hash (the best I have ever had) and even ordered a side order to go so I could have a friend try it. I will be back! Thank you for an enjoyable Mother's Day brunch!
(5)Dan R.
This place is unbelievable! The staff is so friendly it feels like you know them personally. The food however is the best! It's what real food is supposed to taste like. Come and introduce your taste buds to a new group of friends! 5/5!
(5)Maddie M.
The Pullman is a real treasure here in Glenwood Springs. My boyfriend and I went on a Friday and thank goodness we made a reservation because there was a bit of a wait for walk-ins. We were quickly seated by the hostess who actually may have been a manager, because she did a great job of checking in on other tables between seating people. Our waiter came by and asked if we had ever been to The Pullman. Nope, we were newbies. He explained that there were no favorite dishes and that everything on the menu was great. If we didn't like something, they'd fix it. He was right! The food was amazing. We started with the truffle pork rinds which had great seasoning and crunch. The bone marrow was a little disappointing because we were only able to get two scoops out but that's what makes bone marrow so exclusive. For our entrees we ordered the pork belly and the shoulder fillet. Both were to die for except the sauce for the fillet was too salty. Our waiter could tell something was wrong by my face so we told him and he took the plate to the back. He and the chef tried it and agreed that it wasn't good. So they comped it and we ordered the duck. I was really impressed with how fast they took care of the problem and the great attitude out waiter had. My boyfriend and I have both worked in the restaurant business and we know what it's like when people complain. Our waiter assured us that it was not a problem and boom- we had our new entree. The duck was so juicy and delicious my mouth is watering right now just thinking about it. They also had a great selection of wine and beer, but we focused more on the food. The Pullman = wonderful night out
(5)Corey J.
Probably the best place in Glenwood Springs. My wife, daughter and I were fortunate enough to get a table without a wait, but will make reservations in the future. Atmosphere is trendy, but not over the top. Could have done without the 2 TV's on. Food and presentation was done well. I recommend ordering a "snack" since the large plate serving sizes are not incredibly large. The poutine was freaking amazing as was the steak dish. The roasted pork shoulder fell short, under seasoned and flat tasting. We will definitely return!
(4)Beth S.
I had high hopes for this restaurant. I loved its Retro decor. But was let done by the terrible and slow service. Our waitress was too busy flirting with the guys sitting at the table next to us. It took 15 minutes for someone to take our drink order and another 30 after that for our food order. Then some of our food came out burnt. yes... black!
(2)Dan B.
Sunday brunch as good as it gets. Food quality, preparation, and presentation is excellent; fine dining like the city. Service is fantastic as well. We interacted with several staff members for seating, serving, food running etc and everyone represents the company as I always hope my employees do.
(5)Stephen H.
Had top of the line food and beverage pairings. I started with some pickled deviled eggs and the balsamic pickled cherries next to the pork belly paired with the elevation sason. Next course I I enjoyed the truffle pierogis with the liesurely gentleman cocktail made with gin, muddled peaches, and amazing barrel aged bitters. The final course I chose the Colorado pan seared bass with roasted corn and a maple gastrique paired the the telluride brown ale. Great dinner and environment.
(5)Jessica E.
To preface: We've been to this restaurant twice prior to tonight. First time was fantastic; the service, ambience, food, and cocktails were amazing. Second time the server was extremely knowledgeable and the ambience was still great but the food a little disappointing. This last time was extremely disappointing in every aspect. Review: Our greeting was rude and they were not helpful when we mentioned we wanted a seat at the bar. Our server then walked up and said, "Ummm... Soo... Ummm drinks?" This is verbatim. No name, no hello, no how are you. When we had questions or wanted recommendations, our server was either non-responsive, uninformed, or simply regurgitated what the menu said. I won't bore you with details... The food was awful... Didn't even eat half. Worst part of the experience was when one dish was slammed down rudely, seemingly angrily, loudly, and with out a word from the food runner. Not sure that we'll be coming back. Too bad, as we planned this trip to Glenwood with the Pullman in mind, even planning to eat there multiple times. We planned on staying longer, eating more, and drinking more but got out as quickly as possible and only ordered two snacks and one salad before deciding we were no longer interested. Side note: Previously, we were told the menu was inspired by season and locality. It seemed autumn inspired to me... It's March 23rd. Also, I would like to mention we have been servers for at least 8-10 years each, we are usually very forgiving of service and food but this was so terrible we felt cheated and it left a bad taste in our mouths. Literally and figuratively.
(1)Heather W.
One of the best meals of our lives. It was SO good - from the artichokes and pork rinds to the gnocchi salad, crab cake and turkey special. We loved it all, worth every penny and awesome service. It is SO amazing to get great service AND food - usually it is just one or the other. I think we are going back for lunch tomorrow - mmmmmmmmmmmm. Do NOT miss this place!
(5)Holly G.
This place was great! What a nifty find in Glenwood! Our service was top notch, the atmosphere seemed almost Napa-like, and the food was really delicious! I ordered the chicken with gnocchi & beets and devoured each bite of it. It was so amazing! The hubs ordered the ribeye special with squash blossoms, but then just missed out on ordering the last one. So the server politely asked if he would like something else instead, which turned out to be the other steak option on the menu instead. Squash blossom included! How nice is that to add a blossom? The hubs was quite happy with his order, despite the special being out. All he really wanted was the blossom anyway. The cocktails were great too! Overall, a fabulous experience and a great newer addition to Glenwood Springs!
(5)Kris S.
Yummy, yum-yum!! Need I say more? A *must stop* whenever we are in Glenwood Springs!! Everything we have ever tried has been super tasty, unique, and fairly priced. Now, if only Harman's in Denver could maintain the quality and diversity of the Pullman menu, I'd be in 7th-foodie-heaven!!
(5)John K.
This is a very good restaurant that inspires confidence. Sufficient confidence that I ordered oysters from Washington State and loved them and survived to tell the tale.I also had trout and some first rate beer.Kudos to our charming , funny waiter ,Eric. This a place you want to go to in a town that has a lot of restaurants.

We are presently on a vacation in Glennwood and have tried twice to eat at The Pullman only to be turned away by the HORRIBLE service from the hostess. Between the answering of phones while talking to us, texting on her cell phone, or walking away from us in mid sentence - she is costing this restaurant business. Message to the management: we have tried to enjoy a meal two nights in a row at your restaurant. Your hostess is either over worked and needs help or she needs to find work elsewhere. We are not the only people that have left because of her. We would love to think there is hope for this restaurant but could not get past the staff at the door. Stay away for now.

Great place and great service. Lunch was a reasonable price. The atmosphere was a little loud, but it was clean and welcoming.

First recommendation: reservations on a weekend night! We called on a Saturday afternoon and was offered only 5pm or 830pm for dinner slots for a party of 8. Maybe if we were a smaller party, the time slots would have been more abundant. The service at the Pullman was excellent. For a party of 8, I don't think I had to wait for a server to come by and check on drinks, food, etc. The food here is fantastic! I ordered house made kimchee (random, but good) and their shoulder loin. All I can say is the food is great. The food came out relatively quick too. The atmosphere is great for date night or dinner with friends.

My one and only favorite in Glenwood Springs. A little on the loud side. Food is great and well priced. Do it!

This was an amazing place, amazing waiter, great food. The food is all natural, and very tasty. The Rocky Mtn Blackberry Soda is a great natural soda made with beet sugar. Glad we came here

I like where this place is going, but nothing fully delivered. Everything on the menu looks super creative and interesting, especially for being in Glenwood Springs. Our large table ordered just about all the starters and a lot of the entrees. Plating was nice but immediately I noticed some things going wrong. Like the truffled pigs ears tasted like tar and the bone marrow was a tiny tiny portion and didn't seem complete. I ordered five different cocktails; i sent one back, didn't drink another and thoroughly enjoyed the bacon infused one. One out of five is kind of sad. My duck meatloaf was good but I couldn't really tell it was duck. Again, it was good, but nothing special. I guess I enjoyed having at least something creative in a small mountain town that harbors walmart, but I wish they hit the mark more precisely.

Pulling Me Back A year after my first trip to Glenwood Springs, I couldn't wait to have dinner again at The Pullman. In fact, I was so excited that I skipped most of the filling (free!) happy hour fare at a conference networking event down the street, in favor of readying my stomach for what The Pullman would have to offer. My friend and I arrived to the restaurant around 9:00 and despite a mostly full house, the hostess was able to quickly seat us at a nice elevated two top near the window. The Pullman has the fortunate problem of having too many items on the menu that sound delicious. Item after item seems to fill a niche--comfort food, avant garde or just plain simple. I like this approach because it seems less like each dish is a recycled version of the last, yet everything seems to hang together in a locavore sort of way. I was incredibly pleased to see my favorite type of white wine on the list, a Gruner, and my friend ordered a boozy delicacy that tasted just like an orange creamcicle. Holy holy was it good and a great start to an evening at a pretty perfect restaurant. After much deliberation I went with the shrimp bisque and the calamari salad from the large salad portion of the menu. Both were outstanding and neither contained an overpowering fish taste or scent. What impresses me most is that the chef knows what flavors to pair with each dish, making even basic dishes appear unique. My dining companion went with the filet, which has a 'herbalicious' chimichurri on top that takes the steak to dreamy levels. We couldn't help ourselves, so we decided to try the sous chef's new gingerbread ice cream. I'm glad we went with two scoops because we would have likely been sad to only split one between us. Again, the flavor achieved perfection. Gingerbread can be bitter and overpowering, but he managed to find the literal sweet spot. The Pullman is one of those restaurants I wish was a stones throw away from my house, so I can show up once a week and just order every item on the menu. Alas, all I can do is hope to find myself back in Glenwood Springs so that I can enjoy another evening of culinary delight.

Wow! There is not much more to say. The service is awesome, the cocktails are amazing and the food is even better! Many thanks to Steve, Jon, Niki, and Susan for their hospitality. We will most definitely be back the next time we are here!
(5)Michael W.
Stopped here on Sunday evening of a Sat-Mon Glenwood Springs visit. Wish I had tried this place sooner. Had a fantastic meal, the combinations of flavors, things that I hadn't experienced before. A fantastic meal for two, with a nice red, dessert; under $100 prior to the gratuity. A great meal, excellent service. Nothing to complain about. I'll come back to Glenwood just to dine here again.
(5)R.B. F.
The Pullman has an unusual variety of great foods. We were able to try all kinds of delicious dishes. Highly recommended!
(5)Elizabeth C.
Thanks To Pullman for a great meal! Atmosphere was very warm inviting and trendy--not easy to pull off. Menu was creative with lots (almost too many!) options. We had the appetizer special of tator tots with white cheddar with a curry sauce...they were awesome with lot of flavor. My dad had the steak salad, which was a nice size, well dressed with lots of flavor. I had the orecchiette with Parmesan broth...good dish--maybe needed a little more seasoning. Desserts were great...especially the cinnamon roll bread pudding. Nice affordable wine list...the house wine was fabulous! Service was really outstanding...lots of attentive staff who were knowledgeable on the menu and recommended great choices. Highly recommend!

The wifey and I have been to the Pullman twice now, the last two times we've visited Glenwood. The first time we happened to stumble in as we were making our way to Glenwood Brewing...I believe it had only been open for a few months at that time, and we were blown away by the quality of the experience...everything we ate and drank was delicious (Rib Eye and Habanero Margarita anyone?) and the service was impeccable to boot. The next time around we made reservations in advance, and we're glad we did! Some folks walking in ahead of us were told they'd have to wait at least an hour to get a table...popular joint, and its obvious why! Again we were impressed by our entrees, she had roasted chicken with gnocchi and I had hanger steak with roasted potatoes ..we shared a beet salad to start, and there was plenty of tasty, crusty bread supplied. Cocktails were excellent again as well (though I was a little sad they didn't have the spicy option from the previous visit) and we sampled their house red wine as well, which was reasonably priced at $3 per half-glass. Service this time around was not quite as excellent, tending towards the aloof side...aloofness vs overbearingness is definitely a hard thing to balance, and didn't seem quite as balanced this time, but oh well, like I said they were also really busy. Again I have to recommend the Pullman and say that I'll be back next time I'm in town.
(5)Zach R.
There I was, driving across country with my fiancé. We stopped in a burg known to the locals as glenwood springs. We searched yelp for a fine haunt to eat at. The Pullman was recommended. Yelp didn't lie. Literally one of the three best meals of my life. Don't think about it, eat here. Right meow. It's priced at two dolla signs, but it's totally worth every red cent.
(5)Melissa M.
seriously???? way over priced, underportioned, lousy service......
(1)Tom H.
High class food, interesting menu with a lot to try, will come back next time in town. Service was slower than expected for how busy (not busy) it was. Recommend for an early dinner, reservation needed on fri/sat night during peak hours.
(4)Al L.
Wow what an excellent experience I found the Pullman by luck during a recent visit to Glenwood Springs and boy am I glad I did. The food was great, the service was excellent and the beer my waiter recommended was a perfect compliment to my meal. The atmosphere is really welcoming and comfortable and I thought the meals were not only great tasting but also a great value. I would highly recommend the Pullman, I can't wait to return
(5)Brooke B.
So was in the neighborhood, they were the only restaurant on the strip to take reservations, that's common sense in a tourist area, i don't know what all those other owners are thinking?? Anyways, got there at 7:45 packed but they got us our table!! lovely high top by the window! Our server was Jon. Now im very particular on judging people on their personal hygiene, since im a hair stylist and a server as well. Jon had a beard, BUT very well maintained and his appearance was great. He was so knowledgeable on the food they have, not just their specials everything!! we had gotten the creamy crab dip as an app.....YUM. I got the sirloin and substituted my side for smoked mashed potatoes holly delicious!!! best mashed potatoes ive had! They also cut my sirloin which i have never seen before and that was great since, we all know sirloin doesn't stop cooking.... It was perfect. My boyfriend got pork belly! YUCK! lol he loved it i just don't eat pork. He said it was the best pork, hes ever had. Jon was super attentive although he was super busy. Great over all experience. Thanks for making my birthday dinner the best!! And we will be going to your other location in cherry creek very soon!!
(5)Slate B.
Excellent service from the moment we walked in with all of our luggage. My 10 year old and 13 year old daughters both had the Mac & Cheese which came in a just right portion to leave room for dessert. They devoured it. The Fair Lady / Pick Eater ordered the Steak Salad which was carefully prepared as she requested. Happy wife, happy life. I had the grilled Flat Iron with Blue Cheese Augratin. Excellent start to finish. Great selection of mixed drinks, local brews and wine list. Recommended.
(5)Sean A.
The food here is strange and awkward. I ordered French fries that had what seemed like coconut shavings on them, not good at all! I ordered a burger which seemed like it was placed between a biscuit, and nothing else. The meat was too thick and lacked flavor. I stopped by here for lunch after going to the hot springs because of all the good reviews. I should have just bought a sandwich at the gas station or something. High prices for very awkward food. I don't know who created the menu, but simple things like burgers and fries don't really need anything complicated, such as coconut shavings on French fries.
(1)Shaun S.
Great Food No Happy Hour
(4)Leslie S.
Can only review service and beer. Stopped in for a beer. A very eclectic selection. Host recommended an Aspen pilsner it was great. Service was very friendly and attentive for just one drink.
(3)Joe N.
The calimari with citrus aioli was amazing. -as was the warm spinach and mushroom salad. The apple crisp, not so much- I felt that they went too heavy on the spices, and it overpowered the apples. The homemade sage ice cream was really good though. Best of all, the service was outstanding. Oh- you have to try the potine- French fries and gravy on steroids! And wash it down with a basil julep!
(5)Dee B.
Wow, having been in the States on a three week holiday, this was by far the best meal we have eaten. My boyfriend and I had no reservations but it was given top place on yelp so we gave it a try. We were lucky as they had space. What a lovely dining room, large windows, and hardwood floors, we admired the old style light bulbs, love the decor. Anyway back to the food. For drinks I'd a beer and my boyfriend was made a mojito although not on the menu. We were hungry-ish, so shared a starters of pork belly with caramelised peaches with rhubarb, scrumptious. For mains my boyfriend had pan roasted salmon with smoked potato mash and green beans, his verdict was nommage, our term for food heaven! We love salmon and it was the yummiest he said he had in a long while. I opted for the grilled steak salad. It came with a sprinkling of blue cheese and crunchy bacon bits. Delicious. It also came with a side of a bean ragut, they kindly brought it after I requested it to replace the fries. To end this yummy meal, we shared a tart cherry crisp. Lastly, a heads up to the staff of this restaurant who were so courteous and friendly. This is a fine spot that deserves your custom.
(5)Art M.
Pretty good overall. The Mrs. had a clear Italian vegetable soup and I had roast chicken, the pork belly starter was excellent but the deep fried perch starter would have been better sautéed or perhaps broiled with rock salt. Deep fried starters are appetite killers. Also tried the deviled eggs which were excellent. Odd how the humble deviled egg is showing up more and more on menus.
(3)Trent B.
This is the best restaurant in Glenwood Springs! The menu is very creative. I can't say enough how delicious it is. I recommend you try something you normally wouldn't order and expect to be delighted. Some of my all time favorites here are Bone Marrow appetizer (it may not be on menu anymore), Kale Salad, Mac & Cheese small dish and Bacon/Maple Ice Cream. Nothing here falls of the Cisco truck and the Chef pairs up amazing flavors. One caveat... my kids don't love it as much as I do (they would rather eat more standard fare) and if you don't like to get a little adventurous, The Pullman may not be for you! But me, I like the adventure!! I also try to get a reservation (usually only early or late, they don't offer too many) if I can.
(5)Paul D.
Fancy, fancy fancy. Quite the culinary adventure, if you're into that kind of thing. Nothing is normal here, everything has some special gourmet twist. Oh well, I had the hangar steak which was amazing, and my wife had the roasted chicken, which was scary undercooked, and MIGHT have given her mild food poisoning. They initially said it was pink due to the brine they marinated it in, but gladly cooked it more, and even took it off our bill. For a nice night out in Glenwood, I would definitely go back.
(3)Laura A.
Service is impeccable and they are very knowledgeable of the menu. It is a foodie dream in Glenwood Springs. I would recommend trying a sampler of things, which could get pricey but portions are small. Next time I am in Glenwood, I will be stopping by again for more taste off their eclectic menu.
(4)Julio T.
Can a menu be too enticing? If there is such a thing, the Pullman has it. We had to send away our server three times before ordering because every single thing on it looks so utterly delicious. A few examples: Butternut squash agnolotti (sort of like ravioli apparently) with mushrooms and smoked bacon; Lamb meatballs with feta gnudi (like gnocchi but made with ricotta) and sun-dried tomato gremolata (a zesty paste made with lemon and parsley); autumn vegetable cianfotta (hearty stew) with parmesan broth, basil pesto and grilled bread slices; pan seared diver scallops with butternut squash risotto, bacon and bourbon maple gastrique. Plus there was duck meatloaf, hanger steak and Colorado lamb shoulder. I am not sure I have ever seen a menu so full of things I wanted to eat. I went for the truffle potato pierogis with caramelized onion and scallion creme fraiche. It was amazing. Each of these perfect potato pockets were full of a wickedly delicious caramelized onion paired with specks of decadent truffle served with truffle broth and a dollop of fresh creme. My girlfriend opted for a Colorado grass-fed beef burger and it was one of the best burgers she or I have ever tasted (She was kind enough to give me a bite). The burger was made from high quality ground steak and had a wonderful fatty, savory consistency. It was served with a some sweet caramelized onions and a salty flavorful cheddar that melted into the burger. The fries on the side were also quite good, fried almost tempura style with shaved Parmesan. After such an incredible meal, we knew he had to see what this place could do for dessert. We chose a pumpkin bread pudding with maple ice cream and pumpkin seed brittle. It was amazing. The bread stood up by itself with a dollop of creme anglaise. On the other side was the ice cream and on both was the salty/crunchy pumpkin brittle. The combination of all four was one of the single greatest bites of food I've ever had. It was sweet. It was savory. It was soft. It was crunchy. It was salty. It all went together so well. And to top it off the service was really great despite us being somewhat indecisive. The server capably defined the menu's glossary of unfamiliar food terms. The prices at the Pullman we're another great surprise with everything on the menu $20 and under. My girlfriend and I had dinner and dessert for only $33. A similar restaurant in Denver would easily have the bill above $45 or $50. The restaurant wasn't at all fussy or fancy. You could eat dinner in a t-shirt and barely dried swim trunks and they wouldn't care. They simply let the food make it a fine-dining experience. The Pullman was just a fantastic restaurant that single-handedly elevates the culinary scene of Glenwood Springs. No longer are the springs or the scenery the main attraction for me...The Pullman pulls me back into town.
(5)Adrianne W.
I would pull off of I--70 to eat here. Everything tasted great. We had the reuben and the hamburger.
(5)Day S.
Our orders were messed up for every single course including drinks. Our waitress wasn't really on top of things and was too slow paced and laid back which made me question her sobriety. Beer list wasn't anything special. Wine list was mediocre to generic. The risotto my girlfriend ordered was underdone and not edible. I think the items on their menu sound really for people who consider themselves a "foodie". The problem with these items is most of them look great on paper but once you are served the disappointment sets in.
(2)Brady K.
On this one, we didn't have a clue of where to go and we used the Yelp app and just trusted. I can honestly say, I wouldn't have picked this place if I was on my own because Juicy Lucy and something called Rib City was also in walking distance. Its a little tricky to get to, because its under the bridge that crosses the river and you have to circle around to get down to 7th. But I would strongly recommend that you do. Its pretty obvious that people in the know go here and I can only imagine what this place is like when the tourists pack it in too. Even if this restaurant wasn't in tourist trap central that is Glenwood Springs, this is a great restaurant. Everything on the menu looked fantastic. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich and my wife had a kale salad and turkey cobb. Both sandwiches and the salad were original takes on classic sandwiches that really worked. Original, flavorful, and fresh would be the words I would use. Heck, I'm pretty sure they made their own ketchup too. I have to say, I would definitely go here again and again, any time I go to Glenwood Springs.
(5)David K.
The Pullman is a strong 4 star restaurant for sure. The prices are reasonable. The selection on the menu was a perfect blend of American classics with some more adventurous choices thrown in. The service is impeccable yet casual. I was really blown away by this place. I used to live in Aspen and no other restaurant in the valley combines the elements of value and quality period. And only a handful of restaurants at best are better. If you are looking for dinner down valley this has to be your first choice.
(4)Stephanie M.
Unique menu items and original cocktails make this place special. It's neatly placed around the downtown area, and has a friendly and helpful staff. My boyfriend was impressed with their spicy margarita and bloody mary. Our main dishes were the duck carbonara and pierogis, both were fantastic. The sauce in each dish had flavors that made the dishes that much more enjoyable. There was a balance among each different component of the dishes that made them harmonious in themselves. The portions were also just right - not massive-sized plates with ridiculous amounts. The charm of the interior is modern but humble, fitting in with the feel of the town. We ended with simple yet satisfying dessert - Olive oil pound cake with gelato and ice cream. The dessert menu is short but all the items sound like an experience you've rarely had, if at all. I wish we could have tried them all. The snacks alone are worth it, if you're looking for a selection of food and not just one dish. Salmon melt crostini gets two thumbs up from me! They're hardy and flavorful, the bread holds up to the pile of ingredients and doesn't have that tooth-breaking kind of texture I was anticipating (thank goodness). All in all, we enjoyed our lunch and will definitely return and recommend when in town.
(4)Andrew S.
Since Six89 in Carbondale closed for dinner, we needed a suitable alternative for Christmas Eve. The Pullman exceeded my expectations and I hope it becomes a staple for nice meals out whenever I'm in the area. It also serves as easily one of the best restaurants in Glenwood Springs. The decor is cool with a modern-cabin feel. Along one of the walls is street art with some scrawl from a chicken about eating more pork. I listened! To start, we ordered the short rib tacos. The kimchee on it was a little strange and odiferous, but the meat was succulent and tender. I really enjoyed them as our starter. I had the pork shoulder which did not disappoint. Very good meat selections here, overall, and some interesting, creative touches for garnishes. Everyone at the table was full and happy when we finished, so job well done! This is a great spot to bring family and friends who want a relaxing and chill environment to eat some great meat and enjoy a few drinks. I wish it had been warmer out because it's nearby some intriguing restaurants/bars and it would have been nice to walk around. I'm definitely going back in the spring to check it out again.
(4)Brandi W.
Two excellent meals here! The patio was a great spot to enjoy dinner and drinks. We had the nettle fettuccine and the top sirloin, both awesome. Steak was cooked to medium-rare perfection as asked. Potatoes were good, green goddess sauce a bit different, but tasty. House-made pasta MADE the fettuccine dish, the sauce had a nice spiciness and the pancetta incredible! Can't wait to come back! Best restaurant in Glenwood.
(5)J R.
We gave this place two chances and we were disappointed both times. First attempt, we went for dinner and the host, who made no eye contact and did not greet us, had us waiting for 10-15 minutes before telling us that it was a 30 minute wait, we left and went to Colorado Ranch House (recommend this one). The second attempt was for lunch the following day, we got drinks and an appetizer which was only okay--and waited 2 hours at least for our main courses which never came. The waiter kept promising us that the food was about to come out and we waited and waited and nothing... We even saw a large group being served before us and others too that had come in after us. We eventually left and went to another restaurant and were served in 15-20 minutes. The service at The Pullman is terrible and even at their own admission ("We made a mistake") I recommend avoiding this place until their service improves.
(1)JM S.
Whenever I visit Glenwood Springs, I have to make a stop at this restaurant. Delicious delicious food and very reasonably priced.
(5)sarah s.
We were in Glenwood Springs for our Anniversary and found this gem. Our waiter was fabulous and we made a reservation on a Saturday and walked right in to a great table. I had the truffle potato pierogi, and they were fantastic. Great find!
(5)Alex K.
Came here with my boyfriend during vacation in Glenwood. Cocktails - excellent. Bf's burger was good- though he said he would have enjoyed lettuce /tomato with it. I had the eggplant cannelloni - I would not recommend this dish. The risotto was more like sticky rice and the whole thing was bland. Perhaps this isn't the best spot for vegetarians.
(3)Kimmy T.
best bone marrow ... EVER! if I could give half stars, this place would get 4 1/2, but since I can't, i'll up it to a 5 - only because the super friendly bartender chatted with us and gave T a taster of a tequilla old fashioned while we were waiting for our table and because our waitress brittany was so fun and the service was top notch. i was completely satisfied with everything about the pullman. all our food was deeee-lish. i have to agree with the other reviewers though - the portions are a bit on the smaller side, which would be why I would give 4 1/2 stars. they were perfect for me, but not enough to satiate T's appetite. we ordered one piece of bone marrow, half a dozen oysters, lardo, and went for a second piece of bone marrow for our appetizers. as I stated above, best bone marrow ever! drenched in butter and topped with a red onion jam, all the flavors melted together. the lardo was nice and salty, with a sweet taste from the asian pears. our main dishes were the pork belly and sea scallops. both of the mashed potato sides complimented the main dishes extremely well. the pork belly could have used a little crispiness to it, but it was fall apart tender and you could taste the true flavor of the meat. the scallops were nicely cooked, but there were only three in the dish. for dessert we had the butterscotch budino which was light and airy. T loves salted caramel so this really hit the spot with him. total damage of the food including 4 vodka lemonades, 2 old fashions and a Moscow mule ... $120. this was the best experience I've had in a long time. too bad Glenwood is 3 hours away from home or i'd definitely be frequenting this place a lot.
(5)Kim J.
This is a cool, trendy place. The energy was very up, even for off season. They also are following the trend of very interesting foods. I had a chicken dish that had a mustard sauce. It was so strong that I smelled all next day of the sauce. The brussel sprouts were also very strong in vinegar. The portions are also very modest. We probably will not return when we are back in the area.
(3)A C.
Lots of good energy here with diverse patrons. The asian appetizer was yum! Good selection of draft beers. Staff is well trained with fast service. The shrimp entree as well as the bolognese were delicious. Dine on the outdoor patio, sit at the bar or be seated at a cozy table by the window.
(4)Eric W.
Stopped here on our way to Denver. This place does a great job of offering delicious and unique dishes. The atmosphere is great and we enjoyed ourselves. I would skip the Bone Marrow though. I tried it because of all the hype on the Food Network. Everything else was great.
(4)Ann W.
The ambiance was cool in a town that is decidedly not, so this was by far the best option of all the restaurants to choose from. The cucumber vodka with mint cocktail was fantastic. The gnocci salad amazing. By the time I got my salmon, I was full, but ate it anyway because it was very good, too. Our server Joy was great. Only disappointment was that as soon as we said we were not ordering any dessert/more drinks, we were completely ignored, even though we were still finishing our previously ordered drinks. But, that is a fairly small complaint. This place was great.
(4)Les M.
The food is way overpriced! The server was very attentive - but that still didn't make up for the price I paid for so little food. I had eaten in other restaurants in the area and their prices were in line for both the quality as well as the quantity of their offerings.
(1)Leslie L.
Great place! Found The Pullman on Yelp and decided to stop here for lunch after seeing their terrific menu on their website. The Roasted Bone Marrow was outstanding! Not many restaurants have it. I loved that they gave me a spoon so I could enjoy every bite! We really enjoyed the way their menu was laid out from small salads to large salads and from small to large plates. They have sandwiches too and a good variety of microbrews. We had the mussels and polished them off clear to the bottom of the bowl. I overheard one of the waitstaff say that they change their menu selections quite often. It's nice to know they're keeping their dishes fresh!
(4)Cecilia S.
Great food, service and view looking right out to the mountains and Colorado river. We had the roast beef sandwich on fresh baked bread which is grilled. The sandwich has a bit to it but nothing a nice cold beer could nor cure. Definitely will come back next time we pass through.
(5)Morgan H.
Wow! This place is great and exceeded our expectations!!! From start to finish our experience was fantastic! We started with the burrata. For the main course we had the duck meat balls, braised rabbit and the pork belly. The duck meat balls were delicious!! Our kids shared this dish and ate all of it!! It is very flavorful! The braised rabbit was disappointing. I think the broth took away from it. This was least favorite of our entire meal. The pork belly was rich and delicious!! The Flavors came together perfectly. We will definitely look forward to coming back on our next trip! The prices are great too!!!
(4)Vickie D.
This was my third time at Pullman 8-11-13. I had a rabbit and pasta dish. I felt there was too much meat (6-7oz.) for the small amount of pasta( 1/4c). The chanterelle mushrooms were tasteless. My husband had shrimp and grits, we both agreed the grits were too cheesy. My daughter enjoyed her steak salad. My other child enjoyed a burger. I had a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc and an ice tea (bitter). You need to remove the tea bags after brewing to avoid that. The hostess was nice. Our waitress was good. My first time here was a four star in taste and service, the past two are three stars. I'm not excited about it anymore .
(3)Gary B.
Rick and his staff at The Pullman did a fanstastic job! We started out with roasted marrow, and then I had the roasted bass. All the food, as much as is possible, is locally sourced. What I really appreciated was the way ALL the staff worked together. I really know it's a good place when the manager is out there helping with the tabels and not standing idly by. Well done! Our server, Marj, took good care of us. Well done all!
(5)K W.
Just ate here and we may go back tomorrow! I was amazed to find a restaurant like this here. We ordered the house chips and the pork rinds to start. My kids loved them all. The bread was pretty yummy too. Dinner: - the mussels (my 11 year old) he loved the sauce and the fries that came with. He never shared so I never tried them. He ate every bit and cleaned the sauce with his bread. -Kids pasta and side salad: (my 3 year old) I do not know how any kid could go way hungry with the huge portion size of this. Needless to say she did not finish. It was adult sized. -Kids chicken fingers and mashed potatoes (my 9 year old) he is a very light eater so he tends to order from the kids menu. The potatoes we so good (he shared) He couldn't finish this meal but he ate all the pork rinds so maybe that's why. -Truffled perougies (sp?) my husband loved these. They were very rich. He shared too. The truffle taste was perfect. -Pork belly and grits: (me!) insanely good and I thought the price was outstanding. At home (San Diego) this would cost double. It was cooked perfectly and the accompanying sauce was flavorful. I licked my plate with my fingers a little. -Dessert: flour less chocolate cake with strawberry gelato. Good. Especially the gelato. Kids had ice cream off the kids menu and it was great, no odd tastes at all. Service was nice, happy, and friendly and when my 3 year old broke her glass on the floor they were very sweet and funny about it. Loved that. All in all I loved this place. The price was amazing compared to larger cities and that pork belly is almost worth a drive back from Southern California. We have one more night in town, we may be back.
(5)Erica A.
Some of the most excellent food I've ever had. My 8 year old son loved the Kale Salad.
(5)Sam C.
Got off the train in Glenwood Springs and had some time to kill. Checked my phone for a place to eat and saw this as the top rated yelp place. Came in and noticed it wasn't the usually place you'd find in a small mountain town. It looked more like a place that you'd find in a trendy part of LA. i ordered the grilled cheese with short rib meat and my GF got the gnocchi Salad. Both things were just amazing. We also ordered the lemonade which tasted fresh and yummy. Service was great food was great. Cant wait to go again.
(5)Lucky M.
My friend and I showed up 10 minutes before closing on thursday evening. They made sure the kitchen was still open and serving, seated us, took great care of us. They are very knowledgable about beer, and recommended an excellent local brew. Really great service!
(5)Seth F.
My wife and I visited Pullman for lunch and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is hip and the staff friendly and knowledgable. As for the food...we really liked it! Very fresh, tasty, and innovative. Do your tastebuds a favor and give this place a try if you're in the area.

This was our first time at the this restaurant and it was awesome. A food lover's restaurant. Not run-of-the-mill fare. We went on a Thurs. night (6:15) and did not have a wait. There were many choices, as well as, sizes of dishes (though we did not view the kids' menu) for different appetite levels. We started w/appetizers of Marinated Olives (they have the pits-be careful) and the Peanut Kimchi (kind of like an Asian cole slaw.) The Kimchi was a nice, light appetizer, and a little spicy. Our entrees were the Roasted Chicken and Crisp Pork Belly. WOW!! Savory Flavors Galore! Both were delicious. The Pork Belly is from the Small Plate selection so I paired it with the Mac-n-Cheese. The chicken is from the Large Plate selection and was set on top of a medley of asparagus, baby potatoes (or new potatoes) and bacon (maybe a quarter of a chicken.) Dessert: I believe there were 5 or 6 items to choose from. We could not decide on one so we picked the Nutella Bread Pudding w/ bacon caramel toffee, blueberry preserves and rum caramel and the Salted Chocolate Pie w/peanut butter crunch crust & peanut butter anglaise. Both were delicious but the Nutella one was my favorite. The presentation of the meals also added to the experience too. The Pork and Chocolate Pie dishes were served on slate slabs. The couple at the table next to us couldn't take their eyes off of our desserts and asked what we ordered. They proceded to tell us that The Pullman was mentioned in Esquire Magazine as one of the Top Restaurants in the U.S. For 2011. They also said that the Chef-Owner's other restaurants in Carbondale, CO (just down the road...towards Aspen) called Six89 and Phat Thai were very good too. This is our new favorite place in Glenwood Springs.

Stopped in for NYE dinner 2012. What a great choice!!! ** Cocktails - A fine selection and something for everyone. My favorite was their version of the Moscow mule. Delicious! My GF had a great whisky drink that came with one HUGE ice cube. Liked that little touch. ** Dinner - We started with a 1/2 dozen oysters which had a champagne foam. From there we moved to share the gnocchi salad. A MUST every time you go here. Flavors were just popping. After we cleaned that plate dry, we shared the pork belly. A little small but still flavorful. And we ended our meal with the black mussels. Make sure you order an extra bread basket cause you will want to soak up all that great sauce. Glenwood Springs is a small little spot but this restaurant is a hidden gem in Colorado. If you are hitting the hot springs, make sure you stop in.

Overall, we had a great dining experience. Prices are affordable for the Aspen area. We had the bone marrow, pork belly, duck breast, and fried artichokes. The onion jam that accompanied the bone marrow was a little too sweet and overpowering for my taste. Everything else was delicious. Would definitely get the pork belly and duck breast again. Fried artichoke was good, but nothing special. We've also been to Harmon's in Denver, and I think The Pullman had better food.
(4)Green S.
Food was unexpectedly outstanding. Great little trendy spot in Glenwood. Any place with a bronze pig statue has to be good.

This restaurant was one of the main highlights of our mini honeymoon that we took in Glenwood. First of all, the place is adorable. Think warehouse/loft like area with quite a bit more class. Add to that the fact that they support local farmers and sustainable practices, and we were hooked. Our amazing wait person Raquel was incredibly friendly and adept, and made our experience even more fabulous. We started with the Sweet Potato soup with curry foam. AMAZING. It was delicious, and combined with the house made bread? To die for! Following that, we shared the Gnocchi salad. Yes, that is correct; gnocchi IN a salad. This dish was likely the best single dish I have eaten all year, and that's saying a lot, since I eat a lot. I smelled the truffle oil and mushrooms as it left the kitchen, and every bite was literally heavenly. Make sure you get this; otherwise, your life will never be complete. Raquel then let us know that since everything was literally made to order, the chef was squishing the tomatoes four our eggplant cannelloni, and it would right out. Stuffed with mushroom risotto, it was delicious, although our least favorite of the 4 courses. Still very tasty and perfect for a nice, light lunch. We finished with the pumpkin cheese cake with pumpkin seed crust. Not exactly what we expected for cheese cake, but beyond amazing taste sensations and textures. I would drive the 3 hours from Denver for the gnocchi salad alone; not to mention the rest of the delicious foods. Highly recommended!

Too bad I can't give this a zero. Avoid this place - how pretentiousness has entered our town is beyond my understanding but it has. Couple the horrendous service with below average food and weak drinks and you have a total loser of an establishment. Just say no to this place!!! We were greeted by a host (male, wearing a hat) who was incredibly rude. We arrived at 8:10pm for our 8:30pm reservation, and were curtly informed a table wasn't available - which was fine with us, we had planned on sitting at the bar for a cocktail anyway. However when the host sat a walk in, with no reservation, we inquired as to why, and we were told to "stay out of his space." I'm not even kidding. A huge bummer for Glenwood Springs. I will never return.
(1)Phillip P.
If you are in the area you must go to this place. Everything I tried was delicious: duck nuggets, freshly fried pork rinds, carmelized pork belly, gnocchi salad, Reuben sandwich. Mmmm. And don't forget dessert. I love this spot. I wish I had one in my hometown.
(5)Athena H.
We were in Glenwood for a week. We ate at the Pullman 4 times. It is that good. We are foodies and were like addicts instantly. The ability to order several small dishes makes for such and incredible epicurean experience! And the desserts...we ordered seconds took home to our kids because they were so good. And..we typically don't let them have a lot of sugar!
(5)William S.
Burger, salad awesome. Atmosphere loud but festive, a bit pricey. We'd go back for sure. However as the day wore on I realized that I got sick from the food. All I had was a burger and salad. So if you choose to eat here be sure your stomach can tolerate the food.
(4)Heather S.
Came here after reading high reviews about this place. Traveling and thought we needed something different than fast food. Everyone has different taste and this place didn't satisfy mine or my family. All looked good and expected something more for the price. I got the BBQ sandwich. Didn't like the flavor. Though it was good to try a different taste of BBQ. Coleslaw was different than your usual. A lot of vinegar! But good. Homemade chips sucked. Not sure if they were suppose to be brown and taste burnt. Didn't feel like complaining to waiter since it took almost 15 to 20 minutes to get our food. Husband got the lamb sandwich. Not great. His stomach hurt after eating it. But again something different to try. Got two kids meals that was not worth 9.00. Kids liked it guess all that counts. As with other reviewer I agree on the kid signs everywhere. They should have a sign for adults to keep there shoes on. Lady next to me had her shoes off and sitting Indian style so all I saw while I ate was her toes and bottom of her dirty feet. I am all for comfort but come on. The cap for the water bottle was so dirty. Needs to be cleaned! But the water was good but grossed out knowing how dirty the cap was. Waiter gave us no ice for water. Again should have asked but waiter didn't return until the long waited food arrived!! There was four tables outside we really wanted to sit at. Ask the hostess and said non avail outside. Not sure if they were held or needed cleaned but as we sat inside she sat people outside. One person to a table of four. Boo on that !! Overall this is my nic picking and I did like the style and atmosphere. But won't pick this place again if traveling through this town again. Too pricey and over rated.

Was not sure there was a "good" restaurant in Glenwood. Happy to come upon this exceptional place. Sourced local ingredients and great breadth in the menu. Additionally, the interior is beautiful and well thought out with the bar centrally positioned. Can't wait to go back!
(5)Kelly J.
Absolutely wonderful. The staff was great, the manager came over several times just to check on us even though they were very busy. The food was excellent, especially for the prices. The atmosphere was laid back but elegant. Overall great restaurant I would recommend to everyone!
(5)J C.
Flavor combinations were perfect. Traveling all over the US and dining at high quality restaurants, this was a top 5 meal of all time. Everything thing from Nitro Stout to truffle oil pork rinds, pork belly kimchee, flat iron steak, apple fritters with gingerbread ice cream, to Irish coffee, flavor combinations were spot on. Menu is changed up with different items. We didn't make reservations and there was a :25-:30 wait. They will take your name and phone number and call you when a table is available. We had a beer at the Glenwood brewing company and didn't even get half way through before they called HOLDING the table till we got there. That's service!! Axel was a phenomenal server on a very busy night. I would visit Glenwood Springs just to eat at this restaurant!!!
(5)Randy D.
So good. Stayed one night in Glenwood ate lunch and dinner here. You won't be disappointed. Maybe the best Manhattan I've ever had. Rice pudding empanadas were amazing. Wanted to lick the plate.
(5)John F.
Not a good place to eat, first thing I noticed was the grease on the front door when we walked in after that just went down hill.. server forgot abut us then finally we received our food and it looked pretty however the salmon I ordered had no flavor best was the mashed patatos and green beans were good, my wife's food duck meatloaf was ok till we got back to the room and she got sick - GREAT !! - what a nice beginning to our NOW short weekend. Sorry guys you failed to get a good grade.
(1)Alia Z.
Love love LOVE this place! After reading countless Yelp reviews, this was a must visit stop on our trip. We weren't disappointed. Between the watermelon and pork appetizer, the peach gazpacho, the lamb meatballs, and the carrot cake beignets, we found ourselves a fabulous meal. Everything was executed wonderfully and the chef clearly wasn't afraid to experiment. I think the most impressive thing I tried from the menu was their Nutella bread pudding with bacon ice cream - quite gutsy for a dessert (and it worked, too!).
(5)Mary C.
Attention to detail was outstanding. Staff helpful. Luke was our server and made great suggestions. Chef was outstanding. Menu creative and our food delicious. I had to know where Chef trained, not surprised to learn he was a CIA graduate. Prices were far less than would pay for equivalent yumminess in denver. Try it, reservations suggested.
(5)Katie N.
Love the Pullman! I will say what varies the most is their wait staff. Not everyone is friendly and down to earth. I will say in the past 9 months their staff has been top notch. I wish I could remember our last server's name who was so pleasant and attentive that when I see him again I will definitely ask to sit in his section. The Pullman can have an intimidating menu but the right server with the right attitude will put you to ease immediately. I've never had a bad meal here from the truffle pork rinds to the salads, pierogies, gnocchi, poutine or large plate options. My husband and I love their seasonal specials too. It's our favorite place for a date in our hometown.
(5)Randy H.
Fantastic food. Wonderful service. Comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommended! If you are traveling to or through Glenwood Springs, the Pullman is a 'must'. Regardless if you visit for lunch or dinner, you will not be disappointed.
(5)Amy M.
This restaurant was amazing. There were 4 in our party, we did not have a reservation but they were able to get us in with no wait. The food was some of the best I have ever had. We had the Pork, Steak, and Pierogis. It was amazing, the chef did a great job with the recipes and the team did a great job preparing them. Bread Pudding topped of the meal. We will be back.
(5)Paul C.
This place is too expensive for what you get. We came here based on the reviews while on vacation. The kids meals were $8 and everyone of my kids left hungry the portions were so small... We felt like we were in a French restaurant where the portions are expected to be small. This place billed it's self as "American", but I can honestly say it was more eclectic. $9 small portion mac and cheese and some really weird dishes and flavors. It is almost like the chef is trying too hard to be different.
(2)Mimi A.
The Pullman in Glenwood Springs, CO absolutely NEVER disappoints! I have been several times, and each time I've gone I have tried something I've never had. The last time it was goat tostadas. The service is excellent; the food is beyond wonderful. Definitely worth the money.
(5)Chris M.
I easily just had one of the top 10 best meals I have ever eaten. The Pullman in Glenwood Springs is a place you must experience. Not only is Glenwood Springs a beautiful town, the addition of The Pullman to restaurant row makes this a must visit town. The Pullman has only been open 11 days or so, and has already made it's mark on the community. For an appetizer I had the fries, soft egg, truffle and reggiano. Separately all the ingredients are great, but once I took a bite of it all together it's was like a party in my mouth and everyone was invited. I had the Kale and Parmesan salad with pinenuts and currants. It was fresh and crisp and the champagne vinaigrette was the perfect dressing. For a main dish I had the risotto with farro, heirloom squash and chickpeas, yogurt and coriander. Needless to say it was gone in minutes. I also got dessert which I don't normally do. I had the Butterscotch Burdino and all I can say is if I could cheat on my wife with a dessert, it would be with this. So my big beef with restaurants is that they will throw some dishes on the menu for vegetarians because they don't want to get bitched at. The Pullman really thought out the vegetarian options and I don't' know if I have ever had any better. I hope I get a chance to get back to Glenwood Springs very soon.
(5)Shenna J.
A trendy & cool place for dinner or lunch. The only problem I have is their food isn't always "hot"...I've sent dishes back because they are cold. If they could fix this problem I would eat here more often over Juicy Lucy's (next door) but so far JL's is the winner. The servers are super friendly, they have local beers on tap and I recommend making reservations.
(3)Otis M.
Every time I've been, the staff has been fantastic and the food exquisite. The seafood and steaks are top notch, and the soups are remarkable. A must when in Glenwood!
(5)Charley C.
Wow a fifteen was what Anet said. We could bring our fussiest restaurant critic to The Pullman and they would be overjoyed with the Menu, the service and the food. We were just stopping for lunch and as usual yelp led us to The Pullman. I started out with some marinated olives (excellent) followed by a BLT, currently rated as The Best BLT ever. The Salad with a simple grilled chicken on top was a GREAT salad with all the right greens that would make us a real regular if we only lived or visited Glenwood Springs more often. Oh Well! If I was driving down I70 and it was anywhere near lunch or dinner, this is where I would want to be! Incredible
(5)Mimi H.
Best food ever in Glenwood Springs!!! I had the grass fed burger with caramelized onions and cheese. Yummy! The best was the dessert - Gingerbread ice cream with Apple pie ravioli top with salted caramel and green apple slices. If you are in Glenwood Springs for the hot springs, make sure to stop at the Pullman restaurant for a meal. You will not be disappointed!!!
(5)Andee H.
Great food. Super nice staff and kid friendly! Yay! I had the fried chicken and it was dirty good. Merle had the goat something or other. He liked it, but he felt as if it wasn't a lot of food. I say that's what you get for eating goat! What I liked best is how they have a great kids menu that includes desert and they brought her food out first. Anyone that has a kid can appreciate that!
(4)whitney m.
Such a great space with great food. Went for a girls weekend in glenwood and dined at the Pullman the first night. The place was hoppin but service was friendly from the front door to the table. Our waiter was so friendly and took time to chat and explain the menu. Had the poutine- don't miss this dish, very nice red wine gravy. The crispy crab cake was so light and the watermelon really complemented the dish. On to main course- highly recommend the pork belly also had the steak and a veggie stew which were great. Nice emphasis on the Veg not just an afterthought. Didn't have room for dessert because portions were ample but enjoyed the Ginny cucumber. Talked about the poutine many times and of course our cute waiter ;) ahh girls weekends!
(5)Andy M.
It was nice to find this place in Glenwood Springs. We were staying in Aspen and visiting the hot springs for the day, and popped in for lunch. It was better than the places we ate at in Aspen during the same trip. Not exactly their fault, but everything I ordered was very heavy. Lots of butter and oil. My wife really liked her salad. It was kid friendly and the waiters were very nice to our two kids (1 and almost 5). I'd return again - there were a lot of interesting things on the menu.
(4)Chris D.
We hit the Pullman during the week after reading great reviews and hearing from some friends that it was great. It did not disappoint. I had a very good cocktail--7th street--it was gin, grapefruit, thyme simple syrup--damn good. Good house red wine, but the real treats were the food. Had an absolutely wonderful acorn squash soup served with marshmallows-- it had some heat from black pepper, but the sweetness of the marshmallow cut it nicely. Steak salad was really good as well and the kicker was the apple ravioli with gingerbread ice cream(house made)--killed it! If you are thinking about trying it--just do it. In fact we are going back tomorrow. Service was very good as well as is the ambience.
(5)Kate K.
Finally got around to trying The Pullman this weekend while a friend was in town visiting. This place is great! Our food was all awesome - we had the lamb meatballs and feta gnudi, the pulled pork and cheddar grits and the truffled pea agnolotti. And for dessert, my friend ordered the strawberry rhubarb cobbler with basil ice cream. YUM. The service was a tiny bit slow, but I'll let that slide the first time around - especially because the food was so good. The one odd thing we encountered was that we had to wait quite awhile for menus after we were seated. The manager explained why, but his rationale didn't quite make sense to me. Next time I'm in Glenwood Springs, I'll make an effort to visit The Pullman again.
(4)Philip M.
Best meal and experience of 2013, hands down. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the restaurant scene was perfect. My boyfriend and I came in for a late Sunday night dinner. We were quickly and kindly whisked away to our tables. The restaurant was well-lit, clean, and had a warm vibe. Our server, Tiffany, quickly introduced herself and she was the best server I've had all year. Throughout the whole night she was attentive (but not over-bearingly so), provided recommendations, chatted us up when we wanted to be chatted up and left us alone when we wanted to be alone. Food was brought out and drinks were poured quickly. As I mentioned, the meal too was the best of 2013. I had a special, a 10oz pork on the bone with a bed of bacon (!!) kale and a side of banana bread spread on the bottom. Amazing. My boyfriend had the duck and he said it was excellent as well. We also had the chips with blue cheese (very good) and 2 oysters on the half shell (excellent). They rotate their menus every 6 weeks and it's an interesting mix of meals for nearly everyone. Everything from bone marrow to basic american fare. Good beer list, but if I HAD to find a negative, I wish there were more beers on tap. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it!
(5)tania C.
Tried the pullman by rec of an staffer at village smittys in carbondale...not dissappointed! Served at bar as there was a 45 min wait, although tables still empty while we ate at bar the entire time? Our bar waiter was an expert re: menu suggestions were right on. We started with pork rinds with truffle oil (although this was almost a deterant as truffle oil is a no no in culinary circles---if you like to watch chopped) they were crispy airy and delicious. Next oysters from pugent sound WA interesting small and tangy and pricey $2.50 per oyster. Duck version of Pho was very good. Duck nuggets with rhubarb catsup my favorite. Salmon grilled perfectly melts in your mouth laid nicely over smoked pureed potatoes. Dessert equally worth it ...we split all our plates which made dessert a possibility. $75 without tip for 2 without alcohol. Great birthday dinner. Will visit if ever back in Glenwood
(5)tim w.
So, at the prompting of the manager I went back and gave The Pullman another pull. Once again the service was friendly, attentive and engaging. (This was true on my prior visit, despite the 'problem') Food was like art. You almost feel bad taking the first bite - but it tastes so good... Pork watermelon appetizer was delicious, I could have eaten two more This time I went for steak. Still a little chicken of the chicken. The steak was very good but - when cooked - the chicken still was better. Everyone was so nice and the atmosphere was so welcoming that I have to give 5* This should be a treat during any stay in Glenwood Springs
(5)Kim C.
Waiter was very courteous and not pushy at all. Food was okay, for the price it was pretty good. But after eating the Gnocchi at French Laundry in Yountville, CA, nothing else really compares. The gnocchi I got was slightly burnt, but the service and the lemonade was so good that it didn't matter as much. My dish: Butternut Squash, Mushroom, Gnocchi, + Greens Salad. I recommend coming here pre or post hot-springs bathing. :)

This review for lunch only. More formal than the Grind down the street for lunch, with more seating, too, the Pullman serves a terrific lunch, albeit a little pricey. You get what you pay for, though. In a cool space that was formerly a dance club for the younger crowd is The Pullman. Exposed brick walls, an open kitchen and a trendy feel make this restaurant THE new place to dine while in Glenwood Springs. Wait staff are friendly, fairly knowledgeable and attentive, though our server today had not tried the soup special, the Palisades Peach Gazpacho. "I don't like cold soup," says she. Honey, you gotta try the food to be a foodie! The burger was outstanding. Perfectly imperfect in its handmade construction, cooked precisely and topped with wonderful caramelized onions and cheddar cheese. Mmmm! The bun was an oversized English muffin which was exactly the right size for the patty and actually the right wrap choice for this haute cuisine burger. A simple salad comes with the dish consisting of field greens tossed with a light vinaigrette. You may sub fries or cole slaw and chips for the salad. Chef done good. $12. Equally impressive was the Cobb sandwich, turkey, bacon, avocado and blue cheese on a nice baguette. The slaw is delightful, and the house made potato chips were the best I have had in some time. Dark and flavorful, the chips are a reason on their own to come to The Pullman. $11. I shoulda known the food would be outstanding. When we walked in I ordered an iced tea. In contrast to the awful southern sweet tea I had in Nashville recently these Colorado folk could teach those southerners how to make proper tea. Iced tea is simple. So it is that if a restaurant's iced tea is lousy you can usually bet the food will be terrible, too. Nice job on the tea, Pullman. So think really good, but be prepared to open the wallet. TP is def worth a visit if you are in the Glenwood Springs, Aspen, Eagle, and Rifle area. I look forward to providing a dinner review soon!
(4)Eric M.
Great food, great atmosphere, diamond find in a little town. We went to the Pullman on the recommendation of a friend, and we were happy for it. The prices were palatable, the selection was enviable, the flavor combinations were well chosen... what's more to want?
(4)Erin P.
This place is a total win. The food is amazing. The cocktails, also amazing. And the dessert, too, was (you guessed it) amazing. My parents took me to this place for a belated birthday dinner, and nothing we ordered wasn't great. The roasted chicken was about as good as roasted chicken gets; the scallops were cooked perfectly, too. The cocktails are creative and fun. The "push pop" was like a perfect,grown-up creamsicle in drink form. (Don't judge me; it was my birthday!) Also, the bread pudding for dessert. Delish. Service was good. Atmosphere was on the nice side of casual. Totally worth the cost!
(5)Victor C.
This is probably as trendy as it gets in the area. My party of 6 was 30 minutes early for our reservation, so we decided to hang out around the bar. I was looking for Guiness but that's not available, so the bartender suggested Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro. It's from Colorado and I have a thing for local brews. It tastes very similar to Guiness, if not, better! Before I finished my first beer, our table was ready. We were seated right in the middle of the open area of the stylish (almost NYC style) restaurant. The waiter promptly handed us our menus, filled our waters, and told us about the specials for the day. All of which sounded appetizing. We ordered short rib tacos, mac and cheese, duck meat made into a pate like texture, deviled eggs, and more beer for starters. I ordered the fish special for my entree, grouper w/ kale and mashed sweet potatoes. The beer and apps came out promptly, even though we weren't served any of the bread that was being cut at the huge cutting board right next to us. The deviled eggs were delicious, bacon-y, and rich. The duck was part of the specials, it dark meat duck cooked in its own fat until a pate like texture is formed. It was very tasty and went well with the arugula on the plate. Mac and cheese had a very good combination of cheese and topping. My favorite appetizer was the short rib tacos. It was topped with a light kim chi (real kim chi is very pungent) that added a nice crunch and spice to the tender short ribs. The fish special was pan seared grouper. The flaky white fish was served on top of kale with bacon mixed in. At the very bottom of the pile is some mashed sweet potato. I was a little disappointing at the main course since all of the prior dishes were amazing. The grouper itself was very good. Cooked to the right temperature, moist, flavorful. The kale that was below it didn't really work with the dish. It was a little too sharp and too salty. I think spinach would have worked better. The mashed sweet potato decent, tasted as it should. All of the other entrees at the table looked delicious, especially the mussels and frites. After a long 20 minute wait after ordering dessert (longer than we had waited for our entrees), I received my Pumpkin Bread Pudding. It was worth the wait and putting me over my 'full' threshold. I tried my friend's cereal milk dessert and it was amazing. This was a great dinner after a few hours in the hot springs. Beware the price of the 'specials' as they do not tell you off the bat and can charge whatever they like. Their most expensive entree on the menu is $20. But my grouper was $24, which I wouldn't pay for had I known the quality and price. This was a great experience nonetheless and I can't wait to go back in a month!!
(4)Philip Y.
It was great. My family and I enjoyed the unique taste of grilled peaches and duck meatloaf.
(5)M N.
I stopped by this restaurant because the brewery nearby was too busy and I didn't want to wait. It was a lucky decision. The interior space of the restaurant is beautiful and the food is incredible. It's as gourmet as one would find in much larger towns but at Glenwood Springs prices. This should definitely be a stop for any hungry travelers on I-70.
(5)D. W.
Was so psyched to find this place thanks to Yelp! My party and I were traveling through Glenwood Springs for the night and staying at Hotel Colorado which was conveniently located right across the bridge from this restaurant, within an easy walking distance. We were graciously seated at 9:35 without any attitude or flippancy which was a great sign to start out with and something that I wish most eateries would enact. After waiting for a little too long for our server to come over and greet us, when he arrived he immediately apologized for the delay and took our order for both our food and drinks. We wanted to be polite to the kitchen and go ahead and get our food order in as soon as possible. There was some Colorado craft beer choices on the draft list including some obscure selections from Great Divide and Odell's. We got house truffled parmesan fries, the braised chicken | green onion cavatelli pasta and a local beet arugula salad. All the dishes featured local produce and local meat which elevated the food to tasting fresh and delicious. The beet salad was perfect as well as the braised chicken pasta. They were perfectly balanced and the portions were spot on. What a lovely addition to the Glenwood Springs dining scene. The Owner also has some Thai restaurants called 'Phat Thai' in Carbondale and Cherry Creek which I am now moved to try.
(5)Mooto T.
We had seven plates here across two hours. The service was outstanding, Rick Dufon/MGR was at the table four times ensuring service and food were tracking. He came from Portland's Restaurant/bar out of PHX - they must miss him down there. Aggressively priced wine list - everything is at/under $40 bottle. Ask for the off-list options though too Cocktails to start for the wifie and me, a bottle, and digestifs with the nutella bread pudding and bacon ice cream to finish off the night - tab = $200 unbelievable and best of all - incredible evening.
(5)Uriel A.
This is the best place in Glenwood Springs. You have to go here if your going to eat in this town. I don't eat pork or beef (unless it is from one of my cows, you really should know your beef) and I still had a great meal.
(5)Chris L.
We were passing through Glenwood Springs & read the reviews of best food in town so decided to stop at the Pullman. Even on an off season Tuesday night, the place was full with great atmosphere. We were seated quickly & staff was very friendly. Food was excellent, and would especially recommend the pork tostada app. Menu was interesting & unique. Prices were reasonable. Only critique was guacamole seemed a little tired but it was late and we had been dining in southern California the week before. Overall would definitely recommend.
(4)Bruce F.
I was soo excited the eggplant cannelloni is still on the menu!!! We ordered this entree as our appetizer and it was as good as I remembered. Next we shared a beet salad. Nothing new, but perfect nevertheless. My entree was three expertly cooked fresh scallops on top of an amazing orzo risotto. The food is really good, the service is great and the ambiance is just right.
(4)Torie J.
We ate here based on other reviews from Yelp and were pleasantly surprised by the creative menu and the quality of the food. We ate a late dinner, around 9 pm on a Friday night, and while they were wrapping up service we didn't feel like we were hurried or should cut our meal short. Some of the food was just 'ok:' the oysters (but I just moved from the Pacific NW, so I'm spoiled) and the sweetbread (but the hubby really liked it). The kimchee was mellow and should be more fermented, but the peanuts was a fun creative surprise. Short rib tacos were quite good. BEST = truffled pierogies. Ahhhhmazing! Desert was also delicious-- carrot cake beignets! I would highly recommend this place for a real dining treat. The rest of the menu looked great as well.
(4)Judi M.
I got drawn in by the Yelp 4.5 star overall rating. I read the more negative reviews and just didn't want to believe them. But they were right and I was wrong. I booked the Pullman for my husband's 66th birthday lunch. It was a pleasant time but not what either of us were hoping, especially after just experiencing lunch at The Goat in Carbondale and Frying Pan Kitchen in Basalt. The Pullman rated a distant third. We had the crispy crab cake appetizer to share. It was pretty good -moist and flavorful even though the deep fried color had me wary. We thought we were off to a good start. That was until my husband asked me to taste his iced tea. Blech - it tasted like coffee. Our attentive, competent server acknowledged that they brewed their tea through the coffee machine. Whaaaat? She generously offered a fresh glass but the coffee taste was even stronger. He switched to water. My husband had the pastrami sandwich special. It was okay but nothing more than that - just pastrami on ciabatta bread, definitely not piled high as described. The slaw was nothing but green cabbage with a little bottled dressing. My quinoa salad was tasty but nothing super and pretty small given the $10 price that did not include any unusual ingredients. The mac and cheese that my husband got as a side was decent but it is definitely NOT a pasta entree as intimated on the menu. We thought dessert might save the day and since it was his birthday, we decided to try the cinnamon bun bread pudding. The expresso ice cream was delicious but the bread pudding was so salty (an extreme over-reach on salted carmel, we presume) that all we could do was shake our heads and wish we'd dined at The Goat. To her credit, our server was both delightful and professional. She comp'd us for the iced tea (coffee) and gave us dessert on the house, which was generous and ended our experience on an uptick. But not enough so to return. Ever.

Good food, eccentric menu...but not blow-your-socks-off food. Per other Yelp reviews, I tried the gnocchi salad, short rib tacos, and finished with the strawberry rhubarb pie with basil ice cream. Best dish: Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. They make the Sweet Basil Ice Cream in house and it is Awesome! Interesting combination but perfect! The tartness of the pie is balanced by the sweet ice cream. However, for the other 2 dishes...not impressed. One suggestion to the restaurant....both dishes were a bit too salty. As for ambiance, it's loud...and more of a brewery atmosphere. But I bet I'll be back to try more.

Amazing food. Had the Ham and Gruyere fritters to start. So tasty.. The saltiness cut well with the house preserves. Then I had the duck meatloaf and my date had the pullman burger. Both entrees were delicious. Our sever was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Recommend this place to anyone in the area and when I visit again will for sure eat here.
(5)Loni G.
Great service and an inventive, yet not too challenging menu. Lots to choose from,very reasonably priced for the quality (except the deviled eggs and oysters...) and really well prepared. Our waiter was really well versed in gluten-safe options and even the more obscure pitfalls of the menu. The only turn-off were the tvs in the dining room. We'll definitely go back!

The five of us sat at The Pullman for brunch yesterday. I had the lamb meatballs and gnocchi the others had more traditional breakfast fare. We all loved the food and service. The food was perfectly cooked and the service was attentive. Very enjoyable. Thanks for reading, The Bike Chaplain

At the time of writing, there were 74 other reviews of The Pullman and ZERO with only 1 or 2 stars. I have never seen this on Yelp. Even the critics can't be too negative about the food. My party had - the gnocchi salad: mixed greens with pan seared gnocchi, asparagus and shiitake mushrooms. The gnocchi were so parmesan-y! I loved it and could have eaten 3 plates myself. - the macaroni and cheese: mild and simple, I thought it could've used a nice burnt crust of cheese from some oven time, but my boyfriend -- connesseur of mac and cheese -- loved it. - mussels: yes. Just yes. Order them if you like moules frites at all. Maybe save some of that hot sourdough bread and dip it in the broth. It came with spicy sausage bits and cheese/herb drizzled fries. SO MANY MUSSELS! I will dream of swimming in them. - apple cobbler with sage ice cream. I wanted it because it sounded strange. Sage? Isn't that for rubbing on game? In the end, it tasted mostly like vanilla ice cream with a hint of Thanksgiving memories. It was just that subtle. Enjoy the view of the mountains and gondola. The quiet street seems almost European. Best restaurant in Glenwood Springs.

Went here with my son, daughter and her boyfriend while driving from San Diego to Minneapolis. What a pleasant surprise to treated to a excellent meal. We tried a variety of appetizers and were not disappointed at all.
(5)Allison S.
We had gone to another restaurant around the corner that had a huge wait and we were hungry hungry hungry!! The reviews on this spot were pretty good so we decided to stop in. My friends thought the prices were a bit high, but I don't mind paying a bit more for good food. The decor was amazing. I am a designer and looking at all the little embellishments that most people miss was interesting and fun. The food was great! I had the porcini rabbit, gnocchi salad, and the peach cobbler. Amazing!! Perfect portions and decent prices!!
(4)Candy R.
this place was fabulous! the menu is very imaginative & exciting--nettle fettucini?! wow! great vegetarian selection, very reasonable prices, excellent service & atmosphere & the food was superb.
(5)Jeremy T.
4.5 Stars. Highly recommend this place if you are ever in Glenwood Springs. Awesome service and very tasty food. The staff was extremely attentive. I had the special which was the pork chop and it was cooked to perfection. My lady had the grass fed burger and it was cooked perfectly (to her request of course). We both had small salads and the 'chips' to start. Next time I'm in Glenwood, I'll go back.
(4)Alysse R.
We loved everything about this restaurant. If you are in Glenwood Springs this has to be on your list of places to go. The atmosphere is awesome and the staff is friendly without being overbearing. I ordered a simple grass fed beef burger and it blew me away. I never have very high standards for burgers but this is one I would absolutely order again. I only wish they had a location in Denver. The variety of price points on the menu makes this spot ideal.
(5)Sharif A.
Atmosphere: Trendy modern. Quite loud (brick and concrete floors). The bar helps break things up a bit. Menu: Fairly typical of modern American. Lots of fun twists on classic fare. Preparation: Our meals (rabbit - special, colorado bass, mac 'n cheese, and duck meatloaf) were excellent. Sides (esp. the creamed spinach) were very flavorful. Desserts (nutella bread pudding, carrot cake beignets and rhubarb crumble) were delicious. Service: The hostess managed to get us in on a very busy Sunday evening with only a 15 minute wait. Our waitress was attentive, personable and efficient. Food delivery was fast and well organized. Overall: A very nice find right along the waterfront in Glenwood Springs. Our teenage daughter loved it so much she wanted to go back the next evening. We'll be back!

Always ask your foodie friends for recommendations when you travel! -- great advice, and no less this time during a visit to Glenwood springs for the hot springs pool (which is also lovely). The Pullman is walking distance (easy walk) from the hot springs via the pedestrian bridge that parallels the pool and the interstate. Our family included two in their seventies and the walk/views were lovely. The restaurant is an almost spare, lovely open space with a great design that pays homage to the local Glenwood Springs history. But none of that is the reason for the 5 stars. The food is simply spectacular, nicely proportioned, perfectly flavored, and absolutely delicious--from a foodie family, that is high praise. Our meal was eclectic, as we are--the beef carpaccio, the crispy crab cake, then the pork belly, the bass, even a burger (my F-I-L from india, loves burgers!) Every bite was lovely--each dish was splendidly prepared. the crab cake was one of the best I've had--nearly all crab with a good balance of flavors. the pork belly was sublime (who likes the idea of a dish called 'belly'), but it was the favorite of the table second to the carpaccio. For those of you who like carpaccio, you'll know its difficult to make it well--this one was tops, with just the right mix of spice and arugula to entice your mouth. My daughter, tired from the springs pool all day, had the mac and cheese--a thing we would not usually do, as she doesn't know 'kraft' by sight. This one was excellent, subtle gruyere and not all sharp cheddar--we all were happy when she didn't finish it and added bites to our own plates. In short, when we travel to tourist places, we often pay too much for food that is worth too little--The Pullman was the opposite--great, beyond great food, non-intrusive but attentive service, a good wine list, a lovely location...we will go back.

Totally delicious, great service.
(5)Sara E.
Had the roasted chicken with gnocchi and my partner had the hanger steak with potatoes and horseradish sauce. Both were divine. We just visited on a whim after checking out some yelp reviews in the area and this place was a definite winner. Some of the best food I've ever had. Ambience was nice and service was fantastic even though we came in thirty minutes before closing... Our food was fresh and our server was excellent. Highly recommend this place!!!!
(5)Michael H.
Back again and it was even more wonderful. We had pork rinds, Crispy pork belly, heirloom tomato salad, palisade peach margaritas, the salmon, the panroasted Colorado trout, fingerling potatoes, and Colorado ports for dessert. Everything was fabulous and this is really a five-star restaurant that we prefer over the Denver location.
(5)Tony F.
Been to Trotter, French Laundry, Jules Vern and others over the years. The Pullman was best from start to finish. Plus didn't need to take out a second mortgage. #eatlocal #truffleporkrinds Mic drop.
(5)Katie S.
When we walked in we were greeted by a cute little host and was quickly seated at the bar. We started with a nitro tap beer and the basil infused vodka with strawberry puree with balsamic vineagar. We had the pickled deviled eggs which were THE BOMB we got two more after. Then we had the lamb meatballs which were also delicious. Then we got rabbit tacos which I didn't care for but my boyfriend liked, they could've been a little warmer but the flavor was good. I finished with flat iron steak mid rare with fingerling potatoes which was so so so good. All in all experience and food was really good we will be back next time we go through.
(5)Amy T.
Glenwood Springs has stepped up the culinary game, and The Pullman is at the top. We ordered truffled house made pork rinds, roasted natural chicken with spring pea spätzle and buttered carrot sauce, slow roasted pork shoulder with collard green risotto, crispy pickled onions, and flourless chocolate cake. Everything was outstanding, but the chocolate cake was my favorite. This restaurant will become one of my go to places whenever I am in Glenwood.
(5)Rachel B.
This place is delicious! We had the duck confit salad, pork shoulder sandwich and the bacon deviled eggs. Everything was amazing, including the service. Michael, our server, was very nice and is an asset to the restaurant. We hope to return the next time we're in Glenwood Springs.
(5)D M.
We would rate it a zero if it was an option....because that's what we got. Zero. We walk through the door an hour before closing time, the place is turning a brisk business. No wait, maybe 80% sat. One server passed us by and asked for a second. The manager came up and asked if we had a reservation (party of 7). When we told HER no, she told us "we probably won't be able to get you service tonight." For those of you that don't understand, it means "I really don't feel like having you as a customer." We're local, we come to GC all the time, and all my fire department and army friends will be specifically instructed to never come here. A quick parse shows 65 one star reviews. How did they hide that? I see now how they got them.
(1)Dawn W.
I'm just gonna add my 5 stars to the rest. This is a well oiled machine all the staff works together in making sure customers have everything that is needed. I enjoyed the salmon & I loved it. Burger I'm sure is the best in town.
(5)Alison W.
Five stars, five stars, five stars! First visit: Went with my partner for Valentine's Day and were treated so well. It seems silly to be nervous about being treated well as a gay couple in 2015, but we still get hiccups. This place didn't give a vibe of non-inclusion at all! We had: - shishito peppers - kale salad - pierogis - chicken with brussels sprouts - smores boudini Every. Single. Item. Was. Perfect. The price was right on point - I'd call this upscale pub food in a complimentary way, for sure. This meal was perfect for a cool night in. Second visit: Went with my partner, friend, and mother-in-law. My MIL has some pretty serious food allergies so going to restaurants is always tough. Fortunately, we shared with our server and he took great care of us. Unfortunately for her, her first three decisions from the menu all had lemon in it and she's highly allergic. But, our server was great and would take the order, run to the kitchen, and get a breakdown from the chefs on what could and couldn't be cooked. We finally settled on - shishito peppers - scallops and pork belly - pierogis - mushroom bolognese - eggplant canelloni (x2) - butterscotch boudini Everything was DELICIOUS. It was semi-heavy food but completely spring-flavored, which was welcome because it got pretty cool the night we were there in early April. The mixed drinks were great and the wine was perfect, as well. They have a sign that states something about well-behaved kids being welcomed in the space, but there were some kids in the bathroom pretending to make...well...struggle-sounds (trying to be polite after whetting your whistles with the food review!) I didn't find it bad enough to report but I made sure to give a nice angry stare at the girls when I walked out. That'll teach 'em. If you're in Glenwood, go here. If you're in Denver, visit their sister restaurant - Harman's Eat & Drink. Tell the dessert chef Becca that Alison sent you and she'll treat you right.
(5)Eric C.
Food was good and so was the service. We had the chicken salad and gnocchi, and both were pretty good!
(4)elaine s.
Excellent food in a cozy mountain town. The Duck Fettucine was amazing, the broth was light and flavorful. The bacon pickled devil eggs tasted as amazing as it sounds. The first thing my husband noticed was the sign at the front door that read "We welcome well behaved children" then the bottom of the kids menu read "Dinning ettique encouraged" Obviously this place is serious about well behaved children, we made sure to keep our 4 year old in check! My son's PB&J was about 5 inches thick, the bread was soft and obviously made in house. Turns out the bread is made at their sister restaurant in Carbondale. I was impressed by the caliber of the restaurant in a small mountain town. I'd expect this level of cuisine in Aspen or Vail. The Pullman is a definite favorite!
(4)Anna S.
Me and my husband were visiting Glenwood Springs. I looked online where to go, and we chose Pullman. It was amazing food! I had heirloom tomato salad with plums and goat cheese and my husband had the kale salad with Parmesan, for entrées I had beef flat iron with potatoes, and my husband had clams. Delicious! Portions are pretty big too. Great service as well! Highly recommend!
(5)Ondrej Z.
Food was OK, we had shrimp salad and quinoa salad. Shrimp looked like there were defrost and put on plate - no flavor. 13$ for salad- not impressed. Good service but waiter did not offer any exchange after I said that it was not tasty.
(2)A. S.
We LOVED this place. We were staying at the hotel a block away and I had been reading the reviews and bookmarked it to check out. We're foodies who are very picky and really enjoyed The Pullman for dinner. Our server Emilee was friendly and knowledgeable about the food. I think she was so great I called her my spirit animal at one point?! She had such an enthusiasm for the menu and great recommendations. We had a bunch of things to share including the deviled eggs, cocktails(Emilee recommended a gin/grapefruit one saying even people who don't love gin like me enjoy it, it was great!), bolognese special, gnocchi small plate and blueberry cornflake dessert. Very affordable for what they offer. We were shocked with how low our bill was. In comparison to places near where we live this was 1/2 the cost and just as delicious. We left there SO FULL but so happy. We only wish we had The Pullman back where we live.
(5)adrianna b.
Service was awesome. Food was delicious!! Hubs got the pierogi's, I got the eggplant. Both were so good. We also got the lamb meatballs for an appetizer. I Dont eat meat so they separated the hummus from the meatballs for us. Everything was delicious. Would definitely come back again.
(5)Joe D.
This place was awesome. This was my first time in Glenwood Springs...had an overnight stay for a business meeting in the AM. The service was great and location was awesome. Had a great view of the mountains and train station. I sat on the outdoor patio. I had the kale and pine nut salad and half dozen oysters to start. Then I had a side of Mac and Cheese followed by the Quayle. The Mac and Cheese was super heavy just like it should be and the toasted crutons were really good. I've never had Quayle before but I'm hooked. Roasted perfectly and the broth was amazing. I've I'm ever back I'll be stopping here again.
(5)Becky C.
We loved everything about this dinner! Everything we tried was amazing. The prices were very reasonable. Between our appetizers and entrees it appeared they got a little overwhelmed, and our server Tiffany apologized and took money off our bill for the long wait! She was amazing! What a gem to find in a mountain town! Definitely worth a visit if you're in Glenwood Springs!
(5)Jackie D.
Rated a top 10 restaurant by Esquire magazine, among restaurants from New York and Los Angeles. If you're visiting Glenwood Springs and are in need of good food, go here. Great dinner, good lunch, they even told us about their sister restaurant in Denver which I visited and was impressed by. Good for gluten free people, knowledgable. Great place for a special occasion dinner, or just a nice night out on the town. Love it, will always make a point to go there when in town.
(5)Liz V.
Came here for a Birthday lunch. Delicious! It has changed my mind about oysters on the half shell. I tried these before at other places and wasn't too sure I understood the appeal...but after trying the oysters here I am in love with them. I was delighted to have one of my favorite cheeses (Fontina) on my sandwich. The coco Manhattan cake was just the right amount of sweet and chocolate. My only recommendation for the management is to introduce another Colorado made liquor to the drink menu (Spring 44 Gin, made in Loveland CO). I can't wait to come back and try out their sister restaurant in Denver.
(5)Heather M.
An unexpected surprise in Glenwood, the Pullman is trendy, upscale but not too fancy, and serves up some delicious food. We came here for a family dinner full of picky eaters, but everyone left happy. Our waitress made some good drink and appetizer suggestions and we ended up with the housemade kimchee, bacon pickled deviled eggs, and crispy pork belly, plus some salads. I'd love to try out some more dishes here, and come back in the summer when it will be warm enough to enjoy the front patio. Definitely a nice find in Glenwood, plus a nice view of the thermal pools and train.
(4)Marlies D.
Food was delicious. I am in heaven. I had their soup special - spicy with the right amount of flavoring. Main course: steak salad for myself and steamed clans for my dinner companion. Both were fabulous. As a final their banana pudding. YUM!
(5)Aimee G.
Daaaaaayy'um! The Pullman delivers. Awesome attentive service without being hovering, deliciously crafted drinks, and an incredible assortment of menu items that makes it near impossible to order beyond one's appetite. We ended up splitting the butternut Squash salad and I dove into a delectable kim chee that made me weep with joy while we waiting for a burger and Cuban Sandwich. Here it is, two days later, and my husband is STILL wanting another Cuban from the Pullman. Everything we tasted - from the cocktail to the starter to the main - made me want to jump into the kitchen, put on an apron, and study under the chef (or bartender) until I mastered the delightful fusion of flavors and textures in each dish we had. Tragically, our visit was en route to a stay in Denver, but the hubby and I are talking about making a drive back to GS just so we can dine at the Pullman (and kill time at the hot springs between meals). The entire staff has their game ON - do not miss an opportunity to eat here!
(5)Shane B.
Excellent eats. I had the pulled pork sandwich. It's basically a Cuban. The bread it was on was flakey and tasty. The baked butternut squash salad was also delish.
(5)Cindi K.
amazing affordable cuisine
(4)Lisa N.
Lots of gluten free choices, very knowledgeable wait staff, and the food was delicious on top of that! Highly recommended!
(5)Danielle P.
This plae is delish! The service was upbeat and attentive, the food was tastey, and the beer was cold and local. We liked this place a lot.
(5)Cindy S.
Cool spot, very typical farm to table restaurant. I went a couple of weeks ago, for dinner the night before a big hike. I'm just not the type to be able to do a lot of drinking AND hiking so I skipped their beautiful cocktail menu and settled on a home squeezed lemonade. The lemonade was decent, my husband's wine was thin but had an ok flavor. We tried deviled eggs and truffled pork rinds for starters, both were just ok (If it's a date night with someone new, maybe skip the pork rinds. I ended up wearing mine, my husband kept finding pork rind specks in my hair and we saw at least 2 other people in a similar circumstance). The salmon cakes were probably the highlight of my meal. We chose the gnocchi and the pork shoulder special for our main courses. The pork shoulder could have been more tender but it was definitely good mixed in with the rest of the dish. The gnocchi was good but it was a little dense, and the chicken it came with was perfectly cooked. It also came with pea shoots though and I'm a pretty big sucker for pea shoots as a garnish so I'd probably order it again. Honestly this was a very fresh meal, with amazing waitstaff, in a pretty modern dining setting. Was it one of the best meals of my life? No, just a decent middle of the road meal. It could have used a dash more salt in just about everything but still a pretty option if you want a hip restaurant.
(3)Daniel P.
Food is good, but portions are too small and service is so slow. Came for lunch with my family. Ordered 3 "large plates". Waited 30 minutes for food to arrive even though not crowded. My son was still hungry so had to order more. Another 30 minute wait. Not recommended for families.
(3)Woody M.
Personable service. Tasty food choices: gnocchi, kale salad, perfect chicken, and blueberry crisp. Great location near the railroad station in old town Glenwood Springs. Perfect for strolling afterwards. Will definitely return!
(4)Jeff P.
Fantastic lunch and dinners. Third time here, and again, amazing food and great service. Bass entre is original and delicious. Perfect portion for a healthy and satisfying main course.
(5)Jeremy S.
The food was fresh and presented well but bland in taste. We had a late lunch. The service was quick and polite. The salmon and fingerling potato salad was the only bright spot. The fancy appearance did not make up for the minimal taste and the lunch price of $70 for 2 adults and 2 children.
(3)Nora B.
The food here is AMAZING! The tuna salad sandwich was so good, they top it with a juicy tomato and baby greens, served on rye. The chips were light and not salty. The cider slaw is the best I've ever had. Great service and atmosphere. We were in for lunch, and sat at the bar. The only drawback would be that they allow folks with kids to sit in the bar area. Young kids, not teenagers.
(5)John K.
When you pick a spot for your anniversary dinner and you've never been there, you always wonder in the back of your mind if you made the right choice. I can honestly say that the Yelp & Tripadvisor ratings for The Pullman are well deserved! This place was fricken awesome! I made our reservations via Yelp - how easy is that?!? When we arrived, the place was packed but our table was waiting for us. Right off, things looked good - their beer list included Rye-zing Sun Saison from Dry Dock and Pumking form Southern Tier. I'm sure their beers change regularly, but having those two way out in GWS was huge to me! They also had bourbon drinks made with Carpano Antica sweet vermouth. Definitely a classy place! I ordered a Manhattan with Breck Bourbon & Carpano Antica. It was probably the best Manhattan I've ever had! For a small appetizer, I ordered a smoked deviled egg. OMG, so good that I had to have another. The bacon crumbles and a sweet vinegar type drizzle took it over the top. My wife had an amazing salad with gnocci. She actually licked the plate! For our meals, I ordered the pan roasted salmon with smoked mashed potatoes. I honestly can't remember what my wife ordered, but once again, everything was amazing! Service was exceptional as well. There's just nothing I can complain about. The Pullman kicked butt!
(5)John D.
This place is amazing. We came from out of town with three young kids and were worried that this place was too nice. Although it is a very nice restaurant everyone was very friendly and accommodating. There was also several tables full of families. The atmosphere was vibrant and friendly. Service was good and the food was amazing. My wife had the shrimp sandwich and I had the steak with wine sauce. We both commented that it was one of the better meals and restaurant experiences we have had for awhile. We left the Pullman full and in high spirits.
(5)Crista H.
Out on vacation with a group of 62 other friends for the week of skiing/boarding. Tonight we decided to try this place out because of the amazing reviews on YELP. So glad we did. My boyfriend and I with 4 other friends made 8:30pm reservations, showed 15min early, and they already had us ready to go. We get seated and was given John our waiter who was AMMMAAZZING. He was the apitimy of what an amazing server should be. On his toes, personable, funny, knows everything about the menu and can paint a picture of what it will look and taste like. Perfect! We get our appetizers, and man, all three couples appetizers were awesome! No one gave less than a 4star on anything they had. And then out came the main courses. Man! Did I think my appetizer was good, my main dish was amazing!! I had the mushroom bolognese and my boyfriend had the roasted pork belly. We both scraped our plates clean, it was so delicious. Lastly, we thought we were done, but decided to take a look at the dessert menu. We decided to order the flourless dark chocolate cake with coconut ice cream, hazelnut crumble and raspberry sauce. Yummm!! Great combo and last dish to top off the night.
(5)Gabriel K.
Amazing service, good, drinks, and price. Nice spot for all tastes. Great for parties and romantic engagements as well.
(5)Dan C.
Good food. The menu was a little off-putting, and the selections a little daring, but everything came out great and I would eat there again.
(4)Chad R.
It's a shame there's nothing to skate in Glenwood Springs, since that's the only real reason I'd drive out there from Denver, but next mountain trip I'll def go out of my way to eat here again. It was stellar. I'm kicking myself in the teeth for not rememberin' the whiskey cocktail I had-- I even when online to look at their menu to recommend but they list everything BUT drinks. Argh! Anyway, it has a dash of black sea salt and pepper in it. It was stellar. I could have stayed the night in Glenwood just to sip (read guzzle) these for an afternoon. I went with the pork belly and had zero complaints, and my she-beau had nettle fettuccini. That's pasta made out of weeds, yo! The kale's so fresh I took a double dose-- small salad app with pine nuts and raisins, then bacon-sprinkled with my meal. The cheesy grits... bangin'. *sigh* So stellar.
(5)Kat S.
I always make it a point to eat here when I come to Glenwood from Denver. I've been here several times and really love the atmosphere. Usually the food is totally on mark. However, this last visit left a bit to be desired. A little too salty and a bit bland, not normal for the Pullman. The waitstaff is AMAZING. So very, very kind, gracious, and attentive. We walked in at 9:05 and we were seated with a smile. I highly recommend this place! Make sure to grab a cocktail or two as well!
(4)Matt J.
I had the roasted chicken which was amazing. The kimchi and fried green tomatoes were excellent as well. This is a a hidden gem for those looking for a great meal right off of I-70. Highly recommend it and will be back
(5)Mary H.
Super delicious. Huge array of items on the menu. Not over priced and quality of food is amazing. Drinks ate excellent as well. Great for kids as well.
(4)Jada B.
All I've had here so far is a steak salad - Great proportions of the greens to steak, steak was cooked and seasoned well; this salad made me remember how much I think blue cheese is god-awful, though. I'm almost certain I'll have more awesome stuff to say as I come here more often.
(4)Macy G.
My husband and I have been here twice now. Both times we had impeccable service. Our waiters we're knowledgable and nice. We preferred the dinner menu over the lunch menu. These are "foodie plates". If you need large servings of mediocre food - this is not the place for you. And please, always drink local craft beer!
(4)Amberley D.
This place is delightful. We were in on a Wednesday and it was slammed, but the hostess was super attentive and we ended up ponying up to the bar. The cocktails were delicious and unique. the food was delicious and our service was great, especially considering how busy they were. Can't wait to go back!
(5)Ashley R.
Great service great food! Great wine! All this and still a nice price and casual atmosphere! Where else can you get that? We also were trying to take our time to wait for the rain to let up to go back to the hot springs. Our waitress was patient and put a delay on our order just so we could! Special restaurant, town and community. Wish we lived in glenwood! my favorite part was the bacon pickled deviled eggs with maple jus!
(5)Rachel G.
Phenomenal food, fantastic service, great wine and local beer selections! Our server was one of the best we've had ANYWHERE in Colorado and extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She also gave us tips on other local eateries and shops since we were just in Glenwood Springs for the weekend. I loved my Portabella Sammy on house-made rye bread and the Hubs devoured his crispy shrimp Sammy on an artisan roll. Kiddos had chicken tenders and homemade lemonade. Dessert was a banana pudding with a dash of caramel-a perfect ending to a very satisfying lunch. We will definitely be back.
(5)Jess C.
Amazing gem of a find tucked in Glenwood Springs, 10 min from Carbondale and probably 45 min from Aspen. I saw pictures and decided I had to eat here on my weekend stint in Aspen, and was shocked to find they were fully booked on Saturday. If you've ever been in Glenwood Springs the place is not exactly crowded - make sure to have a reservation just in case! We snagged a table on Sunday on Opentable, and this place has a cool modern vibe, and a menu full of items that were calling my name. Truffled housemade pork rinds? You had me at truffle. Overall the food was solid and menu was creative and delicious sounding. There were some things that were standout, while some that were good but mediocre. After service, quality, creativity and price this place deserves a solid 4. * Complimentary Bread (3 STARS): Meh. Kind of tasted like a small step up from grocery store bread. * Truffled housemade pork rinds ($4) - 3.5 STARS: This was super fresh, but I find fresh pork rinds to be too hard. It was good and fresh, but expect the rinds to have a big crunch. I wish there was more truffle. * Pierogis - truffle potato, caramelized onions, scallion crème fraiche ($12) - 5 STARS: Wow I had no idea pierogis could ever be 5 stars, but this one was holy moly delicious. Something about the texture of the noodle wrapper, or the rich smooth pureed tomatoes was just unbelievable and hard to describe. It's rich and savory and something everyone should order. * Slow roasted pork shoulder | pretzel spätzle, kraut, crispy onions, cider jus ($16) - 3 STARS: I was a little disappointed in this because it was a nice pork belly but needed to be cooked longer to tenderize. The meat and fat separated way too easily, and the spatzle tasted a little too soggy for my taste. The flavors were too all over the place but it was a nice concept. * Brussel sprout & bacon hash ($5) - 2 STARS: The brussels sprouts were chopped too small and the overall dish while it sounded amazing, tasted quite lackluster. The portion was also tiny, imagine a small scoop of brussels sprouts on your bread plate. * Warm Chocolate Cake: It looked waaay different on Yelp. The chocolate cake is now baked in a ramekin, and tastes a bit low quality to me due to the texture. I wanted it to be richer and smoother, and instead ate bites of the ice cream on top. I wish I opted for the apple ravioli.

So I spend quite a bit of time in Glenwood and have consistently overlooked this gem. Friends from Texas are staying with me currently and I just had to take them to Glenwood and we decided to stop by and try a new place. It was so great! The first impression was great, everyone was super friendly and helpful. They're super knowledgeable about their food as well as the happenings around town so we had some fun conversations. Then the food came, I ordered the grass-fed burger with the chips and it was excellent. Parking sucks, but it's worth finding a spot and eating here.

Great food, great ambience and fun menu items. Love their seasonal small plates and salads. The ambience/open room can be a bit load, but nice setting and patio. Oh, house wine is fantastic and comes in cool beakers!

Delicious food and drinks! Had dinner here then came back a couple days later for brunch. Baked chicken, grass fed burger for dinner and steak and egg for brunch and everything is great.

Holy smokes. I was EXTREMELY pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food at this place. We went for our anniversary, and we wanted to avoid a "hole in the wall" restaurant for a change (I'm a huge fan of those too haha). I am very thankful for the yelpers who sent me in the right direction!! We originally had a reservation, but really didn't need one. We went on a Saturday night and were promptly seated on the patio and greeted by a very friendly server. We started with the shishito peppers with coconut peanut sauce (okay.... I would drink this sauce from a straw if it were socially acceptable) and they were absolutely incredible! For the faint of heart; they weren't too spicy either. I ordered the truffle potato pierogies and let me tell you.... my mouth is watering just thinking about those puppies. They were topped with caramelized onions and soaked in a scallion broth. They were cooked to perfection and I can confidently say they are in the top 5 most delicious plates I've been lucky enough to taste. READ: if you don't order these and you're a foodie, you haven't lived life to the fullest. My boyfriend got the top sirloin which was great. It wasn't the absolute best I've tasted in my life, but it was very good for the price. The thing that impressed me the most is the green goddess sauce on the potatoes-- it's a lemon-y, herb-y combination of deliciousness. Even if you don't order this plate, I would ask for a side of this sauce JUST because. We ordered a glass of malbec with dinner and a few craft beers before and our total was only $70. The quality of this food far surpasses what we had to pay for it, and that is one of my favorite aspects of a nice restaurant. This place rocks. Don't hesitate. It's a must-eat.

A meat lovers paradise in the mountains but if your a vegetation don't even think about it. Although our friend who is Bergen found a few items and they fried our shishito peppers in clean oil, so they indeed tried to please.. And it was lovely, best cooked chicken juicy plump and full of mouth caressing butter. Drink selection was really fun and yummy. Would go back every time.

Hands down, wonderful food and solid service. It'd be shocked to find anyone who wouldn't enjoy a meal here. We found this on YELP while in town and were impressed with the food pictures we saw. Sure enough, the food tasted as good as it looked. We started with a salad and tomato soup and were thrilled to find everything made by hand. What a difference in taste. The soup was incredible and the salad had a lite vinaigrette and some of the freshest greens you'll find. As for my buddy's sirloin, he was impressed. It was packed with flavor and a good slab. I opted for the Colorado bass, which is farm raised and it was fair, slightly fishy, but I'd had bass many times prior and this chef makes it taste better than it does, normally. Come here for a great meal that will cost you more than you might want to buy, but yields dividens in flavor.

The Pullman is run by some great folks who are super friendly and knowledgeable about fine cuisine. If you are a fan of unique and creative dishes, The Pullman is a great option for you in downtown Glenwood.

Awesome restaurant, period. Everything was delicious. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching Kelly work. She makes a mean mixed drink, especially the Whiskey Mule. She also recommended everything we ate. The appetizer was the special, short ribs over slaw and were out of this world. I had the chicken entree and my co-worker had the salmon. They were both delicious. I can't recommend this restaurant enough, not just for it's food, but also its staff and ambiance. It's a winner.

Bacon pickled eggs with bacon maple gastrique! The best damn eggs I've ever had!!!! Period. This was tied even with the Pierogis!!!! These truffle potato dumplings were unstoppable. I could seriously say I wouldn't mind eating these dumplings as much as I eat sushi on the reg. The Mac n cheese was good, but very rich. Kale salad was enormous and kalicious! Gnocchi I wasn't too impressed with, it was a tad bland for me. There was this one duck confit spread in a jar for your crostini's that I needed to get away from me bc it was so darn scrumptious I probably would eaten the whole jar. From what I remembered the mushroom bolognese was just alright. I think overall, the food is all very rich and heavy. So be prepared for a fest, and quite possibly a tummy ache after because you'll want to consume it all. The mixed drinks are all very tasteful and the bartenders really know how to make these just perfect! If you ever stop in Glenwood this is definitely a place you must eat at. You'll be happily ever after this meal.

Freaking amazing! I had the Pullman burger which was a staple of culinary excellence. It has white cheddar and caramelized onions. Simple but mind blowing. We got the chips with blue cheese sauce as an appetizer and it was very good. Has a slight spicy aftertaste but just barely noticeable. Service was outstanding. Most of their food is raised close by, our waiter actual said the cows live in a better neighborhood than he does. Ha! Must stop and enjoy. They had a bunch of local craft beers on tap, but I still ha to drive so no beer for me.
