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!

They do get pretty busy during lunch, so we had a 20-minute wait for seating by the bar. They offer a great variety of oysters and shuck them as you order them. The lobster roll was my favorite. The lemon aioli was perfect with the fresh-tasting lobster. The shoestring fries were crispy and stacked mountain-high. The kale was also really tasty. The clam chowder had more bacon than clam, but the flavor was delightful.

We ordered some east coast oysters, and two of the varieties had a very unappetizing smell. I have never seen this before. We could tell they were fresh but we couldn't get past it. So unfortunately we only had one type and returned the rest. They were very nice about it but it was a huge bummer. We also had the crab cake and branzino, both were really good, the sides were also all nicely executed. I would come back and give the oysters another try. Don't put paper on the tablecloths, either have white cloths or a nice table you can clean, this is a personal preference obviously.

The restaurant's website says the food is "locally inspired" and that they "incorporate the freshest organic, natural and seasonal ingredients," and I believe it, from what I saw.

Service was exceptional from the moment we walked in. The staff clearly takes pride in what they do and the attention to detail shows. What I loved most is that this restaurant feels timeless. It's upscale without trying too hard and truly focuses on quality food and hospitality. If you're looking for a classic Aspen dinner experience, this is absolutely a must.

The service is impeccable. Staff move through the dining room with confidence and intuition, striking that elusive balance between polished professionalism and genuine warmth.
