Prospector

Chef Eamonn O’Hara brings his experience as the former Executive Sous Chef at Spago in Los Angeles to a quiet town in the San Juans, where he runs Prospector, a small-plates restaurant in Rico, Colorado. The kitchen prepares ethical food to order, serving it in a communal style designed for sharing among groups. The bar highlights local craft beers, including True Blonde from Ska Brewing and Kolsch from Telluride Brewing Company, alongside signature cocktails like the Mexican Logger, Old Fashioned, and Manhattan. This laid-back venue accommodates both quick bites and larger gatherings, offering a relaxed atmosphere for friends and family to enjoy dishes passed around the table.
