Visiting Bosq has become a tradition for my husband and I when we visit Aspen. This time we tried the tasting menu (which still had some of our favorites like the sweet and sour eggplant) and definitely added a few new stand out dishes such as the portobello mushroom with walnuts soy, maple, faro, and the beef short rib & oxtail black trumpet mushrooms, parsnip puree, watercress. The staff here is so incredibly friendly and warm and make great suggestions and are always so attentive. We had the privilege of meeting the owners this evening who were dining as a family and really encompass why this restaurant is so great. They chatted with us, greeted other patrons they knew, joked with the staff and cared to know where we were staying in town and expressed gratitude that we were choosing their establishment for dinner. Support Bosq when you are in Aspen, you will not regret it! (I should add that they took their COVID protocols seriously and they did an excellent job of creating space and making sure that the restaurant felt just as inviting as it normally does.) read more

Brilliant. Scrumptious. Divine. Thank you for such a lovely evening! So many wins, but don't forget the duck liver mousse or the octopus!!! read more

Really really enjoyed our dinner here. Service was awesome, we were on the patio but they were so attentive. Had a few starters, the steak tartare was very memorable, very fresh and citrus. The Peking duck was seriously mind blowing. Also had the NY strip and it was perfectly cooked. Overall so enjoyable and sitting on the patio with heaters and blankets made it super comfortable and can't complain about the people watching as the aspen world goes by! read more

Beautiful dining experience! Came here with my boyfriend on our vacation to Aspen and had a phenomenal time! Great food, great drinks, and a beautiful venue! read more

I gave this place a five star just because the Peking duck is so delicious! You do you have to order in advance because they often run out. My partner really likes the chicken dish. Kelly the bartender super sweet, also makes great drinks. read more

We had never been to Bosq and did not make a reservation so we popped in early hoping to squeeze in before the crowds. Chris, the maître d', was able to get our party of five seated at the bar even though the restaurant was packed. We tried just about every small plate on the menu and each one was better than the last. Fantastic service even at the bar, great drinks and the fast-paced atmosphere made it a fun place to people watch. Even got to meet chef Barkley. Can't wait to get back on our next trip to Aspen. read more

This place has excellent creative cuisine. You pay for it, but you are in Aspen. The Octopus starter we had was nicely done as was the Peking Duck. Fairly small area inside with modern touches and about 12 tables. There also is an outside area to eat when the weather is nice. We will go back next time we are in town. read more

I have had the pleasure of dining at Bosq both during lunch service in the summer months as well as dinner service during the winter months. It's thee best patio during the summer with people watching and right across from Wagner park, the epicenter of summertime activity. The patio is slightly elevated so you can see everything going. Chef Barclay Dodge is well traveled so his inspiration for dishes comes from all over the world. The Peking Duck is a stable and not to be missed. I have tried everything in there over the course of a dozen meals and really find it to be one of the best restaurants in Aspen. The menu is constantly evolving so every few weeks, I stop in for a few drinks and bar menu and when friends or clients are in town that I want to really impress, we reserve a table and usually let Chef take care of us. The wine list is wonderful and the staff is knowledgeable about pairings. Dish presentation is very elevated as well to the point where I don't want to mess it up by eating it sometimes but that quickly falls to the wayside as the aromas kick in. The new layout and decor is really sexy and intimate. As it's certainly one of the smaller fine dining restaurants in Aspen, the waitstaff does a great job at making sure everyone is well cared for. If you're new to town or just visiting, I strongly suggest stopping by the bar for a drink and some apps, then checking out the menu as you're sure to stay for some entrees. The bartender, Lexi, really knows her stuff and brings in spirits that are hard to find, even by Aspen standards. She is extremely attentive as well and remembers your poison as only the best bartenders do. I look forward to my next experience at Bosq as it's more than just a bite to eat. Chef Barclay works hard to introduce dishes to Aspen's highly developed palettes and I have yet to have a bad experience there. read more

Yum! Ate lunch here today and it was delicious. The staff was super friendly and attentive. The location is so great with an elevated patio during summer and a comfortable and cozy inside. I highly recommend stopping in and enjoying a meal and drink, you won't be disappointed! read more

Went to Bosq for the first time last night. Any restaurant that lasts more than 2 seasons in Aspen must be good, right? Maybe not... The atmosphere and service was great. Their location and patio are prime, but we chose to sit inside for quicker service. Our server was friendly and attentive. I was underwhelmed by the menu options, though the kitchen was flexible in accommodating a nut sensitivity. We started with the frites, which were delicious in the black pepper aioli. Really, though, the restaurant is entirely over priced for what you get. I also ordered the salmon crackers and they were literally sesame rice crackers with small dollops if sauces and 4 small cubes of salmon. $13. Outrageous... even for Aspen. I had the Halibut as a main course, and it was fairly tasteless. I wasn't crazy about the selection of garnish vegetables that accompanied the small portion of fish. We did enjoy the butterscotch pudding, though - THAT was incredible! The worst part of my whole experience was waking up at 1am with food poisoning. Maybe it was the salmon chunks, maybe it was the halibut... either way, I. Was. SICK. And we did not go anywhere after for desert. Bottom line: if you care more about presentation and pretty plates than getting delicious food for the price, this is your place. I will be going to other fine establishments in the future where I can get a real meal that doesn't make me sick. read more

Sat at the bar last night and had a spectacular meal, consisting of their grilled octopus appetizer, tempura shiitakes, peking duck and grilled fingerling potatoes. Everything was wonderful, with special mention, though it all deserves it, to the mushrooms and the duck. Kelly at the bar is terrific and she keep up thoroughly "hydrated" and paced the food well. The entire restaurant has a great vibe, everyone including staff and guests enjoying themselves. This is one of our favorite places to eat and hang out in Aspen, small, intimate, with very friendly patrons as well. We will always be a great believer in this place, as long as the food is so exceptional and the service excellent...clearly a must go to place fit for foodies, for sure. read more

I have had three amazing dinners out on the patio this summer. The staff does a great job of making sure everyone is safe during these times. Hands down, the best restaurant in Aspen! The chef is very creative and the food is unbelievable!!!!! It is my "go to"! read more

I was in Aspen on business and decided to stop at Bosq for drinks and apps with a colleague. The outdoor seating was great, and both the drinks and apps were delicious. What really sealed the deal for a five star review was the service. In my slightly altered state, I had forgotten my sunglasses at the restaurant and as soon as I realized what I had done I was already on a plane back to Boston. I got in touch with Chris at Bosq and he was kind enough to ship my sunglasses back to me - going above and beyond the call of duty. Chris, Barclay, and the crew at Bosq - thank you for reuniting me with my shades! read more

I would give a higher rating if I could. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We started with a reservation for two that grew to four and then the afternoon of our dinner it jumped to 5. Once we arrived, the food was some of the best I've had. It was so good that my in-laws went back on their own two days later to eat there again after the rest of us headed home. read more

Always amazing and has pivoted to be COVID-safe extremely well! Peking duck is amazing, but you truly can't go wrong with any dish I've loved every single thing I've ever gotten read more

Great food and regularly changing menu. Lots of attention to detail put into the plating and the quality of the ingredients. Cozy and charming atmosphere. read more

The food is innovative. we went 2 nights in a row because it was so good with a great ambiance. Something special in each of the dishes we had. Try the barrel aged old fashioned cocktails. excellent service from Alexis and Lindsey read more

First time here and will definitely go bacK. The ambiance was great for couples/dates as it seemed intimate and romantic to me. It was crowded and I deffinetly recommend reservations. The duck was fabulous and the wine selection was decent! read more

Peking duck is very unique, maybe the best I've had outside of Beijing, and Wagyu tenderloins certainly lived up to their name. Reservations recommended as it gets busy and seating is limited. Add that Everyone in Aspen seems to get hungry at the same time during ski season! read more

This was actually our favorite restaurant in town. Amazing food. We shared all the dishes and every single one was both perfectly cooked and had excellent complex flavors. read more

Heard a lot of good things about this place. The food was very good and the servers were nice. I'm not giving it 5 stars as I had to ask the water guy 3 times and our own waiter twice for ice. Not good when you spend over $100 per person. Most outside tables were in the sun. If a hot summer day, it will be hot until the sun go down. read more

Salmon crisps, portables mushrooms, eggplant, Peking duck and striped sea bass. AMAZING. trust the wait staff and let them order for you.

Bring back the former restaurant, Meatballs. The spruce up interior is nice. Ordered the gaspacho, which was really a tomato bisque. Creme based gaspacho? The menu should have advertised as such. I didn't eat it. Burger: no mustard in house? Not very tasty burger. Salmon crudo was fine. The side of house potato chips were seasoned heavily with nutmeg, not really complimentary to salmon. Not going back! read more

All-around superb. Had the cucumber salad and the scallops, and enjoyed every bite! New in town. Highly recommend! Will come back!

We made reservations inside last month but were able to sit outside because it was a nice evening. We were serviced right away and the drinks and food came quickly. The food was excellent! We tried several different dishes. Very delicious. We are going back this week while in town. Service was very good. read more

Tonight was our first time dining at Bosq and it was fabulous! We started with the burrata and rabbit confit. The salmon and filet were amazing. The desserts were the best. Can't wait too go back! read more

Great service and food. Alexis is certainly the best in Aspen. She gives great recommendations and the rest of the staff delivers. Make this a stop in Aspen a must for great inventive food and outstanding service. read more

WOW! What an amazing treasure we found across from Wagner park in Aspen! We happened upon this fun, edgy place with an inviting patio and packed bar area for cocktails with friends. The cocktails were delicious and the atmosphere energetic, fun and brimming with beautiful people. We were intrigued and decided to stay for dinner. The cocktail hour was far surpassed by the culinary masterpiece presented with each round of food ordered. The halibut ceviche and salmon crudo were AMAZING - each featuring such a unique fusion of flavors. We could not get enough of the truffle potato chips! As main courses - the four people in our group could not agree on which dish was the best. The Peking duck was amazing - flavorful and presented with tortillas and celery....ahhh! The sea bass was delectable and featured an amazing fusion of flavor. The roasted chicken was phenomenal and enjoyed by all! Great wine list, fun atmosphere, amazing cuisine, memorable night! Will DEFINITELY be back!! read more

Bosq - An edgy culinary delight nestled in downtown Aspen! PHENOMENAL!! - New American Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

Great and interesting cocktails, and superb appetizers. 4 stars because the entrée offerings were too limited (and we went for entrees elsewhere). Also, prices unnecessarily high. read more

Good atmosphere and intimate setting. Appetizers were very good, but entrees were just ok and were served warm, not hot. And of course it's overpriced for what it is, but that is Aspen ! read more

After flying in on our private jet to Aspen, we were very hungry for some quality food. We were more than elated when we found this wonderful restaurant. The food was amazing, but even more amazing, was our waiter. His name is Tyler and he is the greatest waiter we have ever had or heard of. That's quite a statement considering we have gone to the top 10 most expensive restaurants in the world. He is a very kind soul and we had some very interesting conversations with him. Give the man a raise! read more

We are true foodies... Having been to Bosq gobs of times we find the diverse menu off the chain. The owner/chef has managed to create some incredibly tasty, different and interesting items that go without local compare. Not only is the food awesome their service is TOP SHELF. The bartender has an incredibly kind demeanor as does the entire team from the owner/chef along with his lovely wife and brother. It's great to see a family business thrive in Aspen. Cool/fun atmosphere, great drinks, stellar food along with an all around great vibe makes this place a constant goto for us whenever we are in town. Sometimes we choose to eat at the bar and just as often we take a table, either way you will be more than happy on all levels. In the summer the outside deck has a super view of the mountain. Mix it up... the peking duck has become one of our favs combined with the eggplant. read more

Food was outstanding! Tacos as an appetizer, chicken and steak dinners were off the charts. Service, not so much. The servers seemed rushed and really didn't want to smile. Made us feel as though it was inconvenient that we were there. However, the bartender Kelly was excellent! read more

An absolute gem in Aspen! We just spent a week dining in all "the best" restaurants in Aspen, and without a doubt, Bosq stood head and shoulders above the rest. My wife and I were reminded of the Allinea group or Lazy Bear in SF, or even Catbird Seat in Nashville, with the innovative, perfectly prepared, and every bite delicious, presentations. Everything we tried was delightful...tempura shiitakes, duck liver mousse, crispy eggplant (wow), crab and avocado mosaic, salmon crudo, striped bass. Paired with an Alsatian Reisling that I have in my cellar, but have never seen on a wine list in a restaurant before! In two words... Memorable Meal. read more

The food was absolutely amazing. Good quality and very creative. The service was really bad. The waitress looked very unhappy and not attentive. The manager was not attentive..... but the food was very nice! read more

I ate at this restaurant 2 years ago with some friends from out of the country, and we had a terrible experience. We had a reservation outside and they wouldn't seat us outside and the table sat empty all night. We had an expensive bottle of wine that was not good and had to go back. Two times the waiter spilled food on my guests while serving the plates. The waiter encouraged us to WAY over order with far too many dishes. After all that, and some additional problems, I decided with some friends this summer to go back and give them another chance. And, I was told that I could NOT come to the restaurant since they had record of my last visit and knew it didn't go well. They went so far as to cancel my reservation on opentable. Can you imagine.....instead of wanting me to come back and even comping something to get me to come back, and see that they are really a fine restaurant....they actually banned me from the restaurant. I have never heard of such thing, never written a review before, and have never been treated like this by anyone! Beware of the attitude of this place! read more

Loved this place. Small but great atmosphere. A-mazing food. Octopus dish was the biggest culinary delight I've had in a long time. Scallops were equally delectable. Service was top notch. read more

Bosq is hands-down the best restaurant in Aspen at this time! Chef Barclay Dodge is a master at presenting food in a new and interesting way you may have not experienced before. The tempura-crusted shiitakes are not too be missed. Also, the salmon crudo is top-notch! Honestly, I haven't found a dish here that I dislike yet. The dining room is small, but the attention to detail makes this restaurant rise to the top! read more

We have had dinner twice in the first week Bosq opened. Chef Barclay Dodge has brought some of the most delicious cuisine to Aspen...finally! We had four different entrees with our friends and shared them all. It was too difficult to decide which dish we preferred as they were all delicious and amazing presentation! Appetizers were wonderful. You need to make Bosq one of your dining choices while in Aspen!! Maury & Susan read more

amazing food, great service. one of the best kitchens in town. bar menu is reasonable for high quality food!
