“ Fantastic restaurant. Food tasted great. Worth the long wait for a table (over an hour for a party of 4), especially if you have other things to do around Aspen. The kids loved the food. Plenty of other families with kids dined around us. The menu had just the right level of sophistication that elevated it beyond the simplicity but still allowed it to be done well without alienating the kids. Service was attentive and allowed accommodation for food allergy. Sitting on the patio near the road has its disadvantages. Noise from the cars and motorcycles passing by often distracted from the atmosphere. But on a sunny afternoon I would still recommend sitting outside. ”
“ French dip sandwich is good. I also like the chicken sandwich, but the chicken is super thin. Like 1/4 inch thick. Great flavors though which leaves me conflicted. Skip the fries, horrible, thin, flavorless. Salads and deviled eggs look good, but I have not tried them. ”
“ We had the pleasure of dining here for lunch with friends during a quick visit to Aspen last week. It’s always a great experience but it’s particularly refreshing to see a restaurant staff on their “A-Game” when mediocrity has become the norm so many places. Everything about our lunch was great, but especially the professional service. ”
“ Everything how it should be. For Europeans: after 10 days i managed to eat for the first time fresh salad and vegetables. Quality food, for a slightly higher price (Aspen...) and really nice waitresses who made our lunch 10/10. Can only recommend it! ”
“ Excellent lunch here on almost all levels. Our two salads were creative and perfectly executed, as was my cocktail. Servers were super friendly, and the atmosphere was beautiful! Only downside was the slooooow service. My husband ordered a 2nd beer halfway through his meal, but it took so long to come out we had finished by the time it arrived. They did comp it (we only had time to drink 2 sips before we left), but beer should be super quick and they should put a rush on it when you're in the middle of your meal. Other than that, spot on, and we would for sure go back! ”
