Wood Ear
Our verdict
Wood Ear is worth choosing when the plan is ramen, smoked meat, whiskey, and a lively Telluride room rather than formal fine dining. The strongest order is the Texas-leaning ramen side of the menu, especially for groups that want flexible à la carte dining with cocktails before or after.
