  The Argentine Grill is okay, for Rico it is pretty good. The food is over priced and the portions are small. There are no vegan or veggie options, the service is very slow.

  Don't let the "rustic" entrance scare you away from amazing dining experience!  
  If you choose to stay in the Rico Hotel, where the Argintine Grill is located, the rooms are comfortable, if not luxurious, but the restaurant is one of the very best I've ever experienced (open Wed-Sun).  Eamonn, the chef, serves creative, local, absolutely delicious meals at a reasonable cost.

  A sumptuous hidden treasure. As a frugal diner I was drawn in by the early-bird special but then captivated by the crab cake. While I never - except this time it seems - order steak out, I was amazed by the beautiful plate of freshness that Chef Eamonn sent out to me. I shall return.

  Wow! Great as usual. This is our fourth time at the Argentine. The most tender filet I have ever had. Delicious ginger carrot soup. Perfect for a cold winter evening.

  Unexpectedly fantastic fresh food in the middle of the mts.  This must be due to Telluride's relative proximity...but I'll take it.

  Very nice visit one rainy summer day in the mountains-- was very glad to see they had a soup du jour to warm me. I started with the creamy tomato soup with a dollop of goat cheese and some baguette slices, while my husband started with their caesar salad. They are not afraid of the spicy garlic at the Argentine Grill, and it was good. I then had a spicy chicken caesar wrap and husband had the pasta of the day -- bowtie in ricotta tomato sauce. Quite a fresh, changing (i like the often-updated) menu, very nice to find things that weren't your tired old fare. It seems the chef here feels free to be creative-- is in charge-- which is nice.

  Been missing Eamonn's cooking since his Dunton days. He's doing as good a job as ever here at the Argentine Grille at the Rico Hotel. Amazing flavour combinations in every dish we tried tonight!  
  
  Service began with sliced baguette accompanied by butter and a head of garlic, the latter coated in olive oil and roasted to perfection.  I tried  the soup of the day: a fantastic ginger-carrot combination, with a dollop of cilantro pesto. It was wonderfully rich and smooth with a nice, strong ginger flavour.  The nuttiness of the cilantro pesto was an excellent match to fullness of flavours in the soup.
  
  For entrees our party of three was well-pleased with the petite fillet (4oz) and legendary burger off the day's menu, and the special of the day, steak and pasta.  We sampled each others meals and agreed all three dishes were excellent.  The sauce on both the fillet and farfalle pasta-special were exceptional, and we asked for extra bread to wipe our plates clean.  The burger truly delivered a legendary taste, made of excellent beef lightly smothered in sauteed onions, cheese and other flavours.  It was nicely accompanied by mixed greens for topping (rather than green lettuce) and by well-seasoned cubed potatoes (rather than fries).
  
  We're definitely planning repeat visits whenever we're in the area!
