Casa Tua feels like stepping into a chic private Italian home tucked into the mountains…read more The restaurant itself is gorgeous -- candlelit, romantic, and incredibly cozy with multiple intimate dining rooms. It's one of those places where the atmosphere alone sets the tone for a special night. The food is refined but comforting. The truffle pasta is phenomenal and the branzino was perfectly prepared -- light, fresh, and full of flavor. Service was polished and professional without feeling stiff. The staff made great wine suggestions and the pacing of the meal was perfect. Casa Tua manages to feel both exclusive and welcoming at the same time, which is rare. One of the most memorable dinners we had in Aspen.

What a fun fun fun cocktail bar! We were up in Vail for a wedding weekend with friends, and…read morestumbled upon this cocktail bar after the rehearsal dinner. It was pretty quiet (still off-season), and my husband and I were the only ones there when we walked in around 10. We sat at the bar and had a lovely conversation with Jeremy; I ordered the Gingerbread Man (take on an old fashioned with brown butter washed bourbon, and my husband got the "50 Shades of Green" - definitely one of the most unique cocktails we've ever tried! The description "arugula infused gin, yogurt washed aquavit with Pandan herbs & lime" - it had everything - some sour, some umami, some sweet from the Pandan - what a fun and unique cocktail. Shortly after we walked in, a huge group of 10-12 women walked in followed by some other groups shortly after them. It was a really fun atmosphere and both cocktails were 10/10.

For the second half of our girls night, my friend picked Root & Flower. The atmosphere is…read morebeautifully elevated, making it the perfect sophisticated spot to continue a long conversation. Price: Expect standard Vail pricing for high-end cocktails, with most drinks ranging between $16-$20. Customer Service: The service was fantastic. The staff was incredibly kind and efficient; even though we stayed for quite a while to catch up, we felt welcomed and well-attended to the entire night. Atmosphere This spot has a cool, welcoming vibe that feels very safe. It's the kind of environment where you can really settle in and enjoy the company you're with. The Drinks I ordered the Sangre del Sol. The flavor was amazing, though be warned it is very strong! It's an excellent choice if you enjoy a cocktail with a serious kick, but I ended up letting my friend finish mine after a few sips. Overall Experience I highly recommend Root & Flower for a beautiful setting and top-tier service. Pro Tip: A huge bonus for this location is the parking! You can park for free after 3 PM at the S. Frontage Rd. East garage right nearby. I'll definitely be back!

We were able to sample the wine before getting a bottle which I appreciate. The wine we had was delicious. Now food was a little bit of a miss. We got a charcuterie board which was good. The cheese and salami selection was good and it came with crackers, marcona amonds, fig spread and olives. I mean honestly nothing fancy or unique about it. But it pairs well with wine. We also got the focaccia bread which I felt was kind of greasy. I didn't even dip it in the oil cause it had enough oil in its own. We also got the margherita flatbread, but that didn't feel like a flatbread at all. The bread was thick and made it feel more like a pizza. The taste was good so I won't knock it completely, but I wouldn't be calling that a flatbread. Service was great, just a shame the food doesn't live up to expectations. I'd probably stick to the wine and charcuterie which were the best things I had.

Where to start... I normally don't like writing negative reviews, but this review is deserved…read more For starters - our waiter was solid. Not brilliant, but solid. The issue was with the food service and quality of food. - We were seated at 6:15 and our first tapas dish was served at 7:15PM (only after asking if there was any possibility of seeing food). - The rest of the dishes were served at 7:30PM. It was a super long wait for very mediocre food. - The bruschetta was NOT grilled Italian bread, it was served on a dry toast. - The chicken masala was bland, bland, bland. Much more like korma. I'd make a better dish at home. I later learned that this restaurant opened just a few months ago. It won't be around for long in Aspen where you have lots of great dining options.

For the main dishes you get to choose two as well with two sides. Finally for dessert each person get to choose one item.

We also ordered the beef wellington. They were very good but not fantastic. It's a complicated dish and making it for so many across hours of service can create rubbery pate, and undercooked pastry. Mine was very good but pastry was a bit undercooked. Hubby had rubbery pate. The veggies that come along with the wellington were outstanding. The struggle was the service. There was one waiter for the entire place. This created forgotten orders (never got our caeser salad, had to remind him we ordered Brussel sprouts, and never got our coffee with our dessert). They need an additional server front of house and probably an extra busser to help with food delivery, drinks, etc. I would go back. And give it another chance as everyone working there was really nice and working hard. The space is also relaxing and welcoming.
