The place has plenty of history and has been a social spot in Aspen for generations. The Old West vibe is still very much alive, which is rare in a city that has more hipster spots than anything else. My partner and I both enjoyed our cocktails. We sat at the bar, but there were plenty of tables too. Service was decent, if a little inconsistent. Our first server was fine but seemed somewhat checked out, while the second one randomly brought us bar snacks around our second drink (nuts, and they were delicious). Left me wondering why the first server didn't do the same. The cocktails are pricey, $20+ with a 22% gratuity automatically added to the check, but it IS Aspen after all. The local beers were fairly priced, which was a nice surprise.

The bone-in ribeye was cooked absolutely perfectly and had incredible flavor. The sides were just as impressive -- the truffle mac and cheese and creamed spinach were standout additions. 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.

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.

Large menu but varied and you could find something for everyone. Small beer menu and not much on tap. Prices are very reasonable for Aspen. 1. Wings - Large in size and flavorful.

While our server was nice, the management was terrible. We noticed that they charged us $4 more than listed on the menu for the bottle of wine we got. (This isn't about $4, it's about their shady business practices). When we pointed it out to our very nice server, she said she'd talk to her manager. She came back and told us her manager said, "well it's wrong on the menu and the higher price is correct." Ummm, no, that's not how it works, so we asked to see her manager. "Vlad" the manager came and after we called him out on his shady comments, said he'd honor the menu price. Oh wow, thanks so much for honoring the menu pricing and for trying to make your nice young female server be complicit in your shady practices. Not planning to go back if this is how they conduct business.
