Visiting Aspen for first time and limited number of restaurants open during May - overall excellent choice, food was delicious and the service was just superb. Noise was an issue - table next to us was loud and a big distraction and overall the noise could have been reduced by a few decibels overall.

Even though we are local, never dined here. Our server Stephanie knew the dishes and wines, and her service as well as team coverage was beyond excellent. Halibut special was delicious. Hamachi appetizer perfect, bread a special treat, and desserts very unique to Aspen, equally delicious. Four of us, all enjoyed dinner immensely. Closing next day for off season, and no hint of "just get to tomorrow" in food preparation, ambiance, service or decor. Look forward to next dining experience there.

Gorgeous restaurant. Great service. Terrific, creative food. Approachable. Aspen pricing, but I think a fair value. My waiter was welcoming and helpful, recommending (at my request) dishes that I wouldn’t have chosen on my own. For example, an octopus appetizer (Pulpo Anticuchero), and Peruvian Lomo Saltado that was done with tenderloin that was delicious.

Overall wonderful experience, from the service to the food, the ambience and even the music. I was a little nervous when I saw a DJ but his taste was impeccable and the music level was perfect. The sommelier was especially a pleasure, and recommended a couple wonderful wines that paired perfectly with the food.
