    Noodle bowl

    The best dining option at buttermilk. Make sure to try the Mongolian grill at least once--delicious mixed veggies and protein, if a little oily. There are always cheaper lunch specials too and the chicken wrap is also a great option.

    Need a break from m skiing or snowboarding, then stop by at Cliffhouse at Buttermilk mountain. It's great to grab a soup, hot noodle bowl, burger, and adult beverages!!! The kitchen usually closes around 2:45 pm since the lift closes at 3:30 pm which is earlier than other ski resorts. There is beer, wine, and alcoholic sparkling water like white claw. The setup is more of a cafeteria, but there is a wait staff that are constantly cleaning the tables. The views at the Cliffhouse are breath taking whether you are sort tag inside by the window or enjoying a meal out door. There are also plenty of restrooms at the restaurant and areas to sit and take a break.

    Surprisingly good food. Aspenish, overpriced but truly good food in my experience. The best views around. Free water that's my tip

    We went to The Monarch to celebrate my husband's birthday and we truly couldn't have chosen a…read morebetter place. From the moment we walked in, I loved the atmosphere -- it has such a cozy yet high-end feel that makes it perfect for a special occasion. Our server, Jay, was amazing. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and gave us great recommendations that really enhanced our experience. We ordered the Caesar salad, which I understand is one of their signature dishes, and it did not disappoint -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The onion soup was perfect for the weather, warm, comforting, and very tasty. We also had the burger, which was excellent and very satisfying. We didn't order more only because we had already had snacks on the mountain, but honestly, everything we saw being served around us looked incredible. It's definitely a place I would love to come back to in order to try more dishes. Highly recommend for both the ambiance, the service, and the quality of the food.

Hot, delicious, loved that the cheese was thin and not a thick layer. Same goes for the bread. 2. Ribeye cap (special; 8oz) - Very peppered with a crust on top. Delicious and more lean than I thought (which is not a bad thing). 3. Asparagus - Nice touch that they split them lengthwise. Salt and pepper, sauce on the side as requested. Very good. 4. Bison burger - Big, oily, messy. Truffle fries are average but good flavor. The bacon in the burger is overpowering so had to remove and put on the side. Overall a nice steakhouse dinner, especially for a mountain town. Recommend to try!

    Great breakfast! The Huevos Rancheros were magical and as a Texan and connoisseur of HR, I can say…read morethat these are some of the very best in the U.S. This restaurant is in the St. Regis Hotel. It's nice enough looking and the servers were friendly and helpful. The manager came by and checked on us the 3 times we ate here. Admittedly it was the off-season so the staff was new and learning, but our experience was great! The Huevos Rancheros wasn't on the menu (just room service), but the manager said she could do it and boy was it fantastic! The eggs benedict was also a great choice as my wife ordered it daily. All in all, we were very happy with the service, taste, experience and would recommend it to anyone.

    DINNER REVIEW: When we first walked in I noticed the…read morerestaurant was beautifully decorated, like the rest of the hotel, and the service was wonderful, our water was always full and our waiter was very attentive! We ordered wine to start, and the selection is about average, lots of pricey wines and not a whole lot of more affordable, good quality wines were offered. Nonetheless, we thoroughly enjoyed ours! They started us with a complimentary pork belly appetizer which was incredible! Next we had among the 5 of us: the kale salad (amazing) the fried calamari (lots of tentacles with small pieces, could be better) Margarita pizza - average, wouldn't order it again The burrata, definitely our best choice! For dinner we had the ribeye, also a wonderful choice and cooked beautifully. The tuna was really good, but cut a little odd so it was sort of awkward to eat. The cavatelli pasta with sausage was also very good, I'd definitely order that again. The chicken was good, a large serving so certainly shareable. For sides we had the mushroom risotto which was perfectly done and very flavorful (my favorite part of the meal), the meatballs which were quite dense and garlicky, and the brussel sprouts which were pretty good. I personally had the rigatoni bolognese, which unfortunately was so undercooked I couldn't eat it at all. Not al dente, just flat out underdone :( the presentation was beautiful though! And someone in my party ordered iced tea, for which they brought sugar, but she said it was so sweet already so I'm not sure if they know is sweetened already? They offered us an array of desserts to make up for the few mishaps which were all amazeeee, especially the tiramisu and the chocolate ice cream with toasted fluff on top and caramel! It had a different name but either way it was great. I'd come back to try it again possibly, but we have had so many incredible dinners in Aspen I had to give this place a 3, mostly because the only thing I ordered was the rigatoni (inedible). Better luck next time I suppose!
