The 16 best takeout food in Aspen

Went to celebrate my mom’s birthday and wow, I still dream about this place. If I had to pick a last meal, this would be it. I got the steak board and ate every last bite. My mom got the rotisserie chicken board. We sat outside and the views from downtown Aspen were absolutely breathtaking. The service was warm and pleasant, which made the whole experience even better. If you love steak, potatoes, and a good heartwarming meal, this spot is a must-try.

overall not bad! the meat and cheese board i’d say was a bit overpriced for what we got. it was mostly crackers. loved the mustard! we ordered the steak board and the vietnamese salad. the steak board was pretty good, the steak was a little underdone though. the salad was heavily lacking flavor, the sauce was almost the consistency of water and was not flavorful. there was also fried onions on it which didn’t really make sense to me.

Despite the restaurant’s name they have more than just meat and cheese here. Enjoyed their Vietnamese chicken salad and it was the best single lunch dish I’ve had in Aspen. Great combination of chicken, egg, cucumber, carrot, lettuce, noodles, and fried onions. Try to snag a table outside on their patio — atmosphere outdoors is five stars vs. indoors a little bit more cramped and only four stars. Service at the bar was very good.

The 3% charge to offset the “high cost of living in paradise” feels inappropriate. Guests come to Aspen expecting premium prices, but not additional fees justified by the staff’s local living expenses. If costs are high, they should be reflected transparently in menu pricing, not added as an emotional surcharge. Food is good. Service average:

I had a really nice experience dining here! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and everything I ordered tasted really good. The flavors were on point, and you can tell the food is made with care. The only thing I’d mention is that the steak was a bit on the chewy side, but still flavorful. Overall, it was an enjoyable meal.

Our server recommended the Pastrami and the Quesabirria tacos and they were flavorful and unique. The pastrami was spicy, tangy, and had great texture. The tacos had wonderful consomé and had a tender meat. Highly recommend this place!

Food was good although menu is somewhat limited. Value by Aspen standards is above average. My one drawback would be the seating is tight. If you don't mind listening to conversations and having others listen to yours, you'll be fine here.

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.

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!

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.

I was so disappointed by this place with the ratings it has. Located in downtown aspen, this place has wonderful views and atmosphere but it goes downhill from there. The waitress acted very bothered by our presence and seemed unhappy with her job. She seemed to be pressuring us to move faster and get out. I understand it’s a busy weekend in the middle of leaf peeping season but you can still be polite. When we stated we would just be getting apps and drinks she rolled her eyes and stated she would try to get us moved to the bar since we were seated in a “full dining section”. We were ordering drinks and appetizers! After we got our appetizer she immediately brought us the check like she couldn’t wait to get rid of us. Very upsetting and confusing treatment. Food was ok. But not necessarily worth the aspen premium.

Great little restaurant in town with a pretty unique layout. We stopped in for lunch and sat at the ‘back bar.’ The service was excellent, as was the food. Definitely recommend that you stop in if you are in Aspen for a few days.

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.

Such a wonderful spot in Aspen. Sat at the bar for a quick no-wait dinner. Staff is very friendly, helpful and professional. Very… *Aspen* crowd of customers. GREAT crispy chicken sandwich and cocktails. Did try to come mid week with more people and there was an hour+ wait for lunch. Excellent staff: Lawson(?) Larson(?) … bad at remembering your name sorry! Took care of me at the bar. Hope your wedding in 3 weeks is amazing:)

Must-do date night spot during your Aspen stay! Romantic atmosphere, impeccable service... you blink and your food has arrived. They go the extra mile to make the experience special... Espresso martini was one of the best I've ever had. Love! For what's it's worth I'm from NJ/NYC and can confidently say this Italian spot holds a candle.

Food was great, well seasoned and decent portion sizes. The service was a little odd, when I asked our server what is in each dish(its all in Italian, and we didnt understand it) she kinda gave 2 word answers like "its pasta" or "thats a steak" wasn't very helpful at all. We had to google our dinner. I asked for an iced tea while the other girls ordered cocktails (being DD) and never asked if I wanted a refill while other got multiple cocktails. Overall it was a mediocre experience. Would i ho back? Maybe to get my food to go but thats it.

The environment for the restaurant is beautiful. Love the patio during the summer. Cocktails were all excellent, if you like gin, I recommend the white linen. The best dish at our table was the cacio e pepe, hands down!! If you want pasta, get this. You will not be disappointed. We also had the Bolognese but for my tastes it was a little too sweet. The homemade pasta was fantastic though. Both the fish, salmon and branzino were okay. The steak had a weird mouth feel, the top was perfectly crusty but the bottom was soggy from the creamed spinach. Was cooked correctly and had great flavor though. For dessert, we tried the all the things!! The pistachio gelato is HUGE! Enough for 7 people. Was also the best dessert. The tiramisu was okay, enjoyed the doughnuts. The lemon tart was a little too sweet and the sorbet was quite refreshing!

Casa Tua is such a great ambience. Service is 10/10! Their portions are actually very sizable! I would try their calamari and pistachio gelato (the gelato is good for like 4 people) The complimentary bread basket comes with an olive dip, sooo good!

I realize I am an outlier here giving a five star when it mostly has an average 4.1 rating, and I only had one dish, but it was the Pollo Piri Piri, and I have to admit it was delicious—the chicken was tender, the roasted potatoes cooked to perfection, and even though I didn’t like the sauce that came with it (because it reminded me too much of Sriracha), the sauce was off to the side and therefore didn’t ruin the dish and quite frankly I know most people like the Sriracha flavor. Their bread with olive oil and olive tapenade was yummy. Service from Stephan R. at the bar was attentive.

Atmosphere is good. Service is OKAY. Food is COMPLETELY OVERRATED. This is perhaps one of the worst meals I’ve ever had in aspen. Gross. Don’t recommend this place at all.

Hands down the most all-encompassing place in Aspen. The patio is perfect for socializing, the pasta is delicious, the lighting sexy and on point, and the staff is quite formal, which I like.

My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed the 5-course tasting menu and found each dish to be outstandingly delicious! The creativity in each dish is beyond one's imagination, and the flavors and execution are top-notch! All members of the restaurant deliver exceptional service and are knowledgeable about every dish. If the roasted duck is on the menu, it's a MUST try - cooked to perfection. Definitely order the inflated cabbage - an unexpected dish of deliciousness. The lobster grilled over juniper branches was luxurious and a melt-in-your-mouth dish. I cannot rave enough about Bosq. It simply exceeded our expectations and provided us with a meal of a lifetime!

My husband and I had the five course tasting menu and it was phenomenal!! Amazing flavours and presentation. The chef even wrote us a cute little card for it being our first time away from our baby which was such a sweet and personal touch. We will definitely come back here the next time we are in Aspen!

We had the pleasure of dining here while celebrating our anniversary. I can confidently say the only downside to the evening was when it had to come to a close. We had the honor of being served by Emma who made us instantly comfortable as well as our sommelier Joe who expertly guided us through the pairings which felt very personal. I wish I could personally thank every person who made our evening special, the entire staff worked seamlessly and we were left without a want. Thank you all SO much for a wonderful evening, tell "Bear"nard we say hello haha.

I was fortunate enough to dine at Bosq in 2024, after receiving a glowing recommendation from a local I met at an event. When I knew I was returning to Aspen, I made it a priority to secure a seat for this visit. I make it a mission to partake in Chef's tasting menus wherever I visit and the Bosq experience is in the upper echelons of my dining life. The team moves seamlessly like a well choreographed dance, which complements the delicious and well presented food. The sommelier did an excellent job with the pairings, given the complex flavors presented. Bravo Chef Dodge and Team.

MUST VISIT IN ASPEN ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I will always remember my time at Bosq. My Fiance had this as a surprise after our engagement on Aspen mountain. I truly appreciate the owners being so sweet to him, and helping get our dinner coordinated. We travel all over and have been to multiple Michelin star restaurants, but Bosq is & forever will be #1 on my list for multiple reasons. -the food embodies Aspen perfectly. The presentation of the food, the stories behind the ingredients, and most importantly: the taste. You guys nailed it. -I loved how personable this experience was for us as well. I collect the menus from all MS restaurants we go to and frame them, and Bosq gave us one with our names on it + a handwritten letter & a beautiful candle from the owners. Wow! What a night to remember. Thank you for your hospitality, Molly & Chef. We will be back.

Definitely worth the visit! We had a magical evening, the rabbit was tender, the wagyu melted like a dream, the drinks were so fresh and natural, and the views outside made it all feel like a little love story. ⛰️🍸❤️‍🔥

Very disappointed. For 2 cocktails, the chef tasting menu and the basic wine pairing (plus tip) the total cost was about $1,400. This food would have been disappointing for half that price. The rabbit was very tough, the lobster was rubbery, and none of the courses were all that impressive which is expected from a Michelin star $1400 meal. Overall would not recommend.

While staying at the hotel a few days. I heard great things about Home Team BBQ and have it a try. Since day one I was hooked on the flavor and so this review is from 3 different days trying different options. I’ll start by saying that from Christy the host, to the servers like Gil and others, they were great and made the experience well enjoyed. Ate after 6pm most days. Dined in with no wait time. Recommendations provided of daily specials by everyone. Food wait time was normal on all dine-in. First day I tried the turkey platter with baked beans and Mac & cheese. Everything was fenomenal, so tender. I’m big on Max & cheese which is why I had on all 3 occasions. Portion is just right with a bit of the harden cheese. Stays hot during course of the meal which is great. Beans flavorful with that smoky presence. Second day I went for the wings…😋😋😋 OMG!!! The flavor is to the bone 🦴 so good. No lack of smoky taste here! It’s definitely a party in the mouth when you first bite into them! Added mac & cheese. Can’t pass that up. Third day Christy points out having the Cuban sandwich on the specials menu. Being from south Florida , Cuban sandwiches can be found throughout. Trying foods outside of my daily circles provides an opportunity to taste different renditions of popular foods. This Cuban sandwich is no exception. The sandwich includes all the main elements from Cuban sandwiches but with their own touch. Hint of mustard included which is a must in Cuban sandwich and the pickles were added, cut thicker than the norm and is a great touch. The pork has the smoky taste which is unique to Home Team BBQ and makes the entire sandwich explode with flavor. Size looks small but was very filling. Size just right. Amazing place to dine and highly recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lastly, the views outside are stunning and make outdoor eating so enjoyable. 🏔️

We had a wonderful dining experience with good food and excellent service. One of our dishes was slightly delayed, but the manager went out of their way to make it right by offering us a complimentary dessert—a thoughtful and much-appreciated gesture. That kind of service truly sets a place apart. We’ll definitely be back!

If you're a fan of great BBQ and pretty views, this place is an absolute must-visit. Tucked away at the base of the mountain, it offers the perfect mix of rustic charm and natural beauty. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The food was delicious. We were a party of 7 so there was a lot of variety in our order. The ribs were fall off the bone tender, the chicken had a perfect smoky crust, and the sauces added just the right kick. The creamy mac and cheese with pepper and tater tot’s were just right. The prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. It's rare to find a place that delivers this well on taste, vibe, and value all in one package. Highly recommended!

The food is good, fresh, and seasoned well. However for the price you shouldn’t charge so much to drink plain Lipton iced tea out of a cheap old plastic red cup and charge $2.50 for 2 oz of sauce is insane. The kids chicken tenders is cheap frozen chicken strips that come with nothing fyi. The brisket chili was the best thing that we liked.

Amazing food every meal we had. The fried ribs were the best ribs I've had in my life and that's hard to say as a Kansas City native.

Got the wings and the pulled pork nachos, both were incredible!! The white sauce for the wings was the perfect balance of creamy and tangy. Would definitely recommend it to anyone in the mood for some good bbq

We cannot say enough positive things about Home Team BBQ's catering services—they provided the most amazing food for our wedding! We were looking for a more causal alternative for our wedding and landed on a BBQ buffet. From the first bite to the last, the quality and taste of the food were absolutely phenomenal. We were truly blown away, and more importantly, our entire wedding guest list was raving! We had so many people tell us it was the best wedding food they had ever eaten. The service was impeccable, and they made the catering process seamless. If you want delicious, high-quality, and crowd-pleasing food that your guests will talk about for years to come, you must choose Home Team BBQ. They are truly top-tier!

Okay this is hands down one of my fav spots in town. The staff is so fun and friendly and welcoming and make you feel at home - Erika always welcomes you with a smile, Troy is my fav server he makes the best recommendations and is so fun, and Manny behind the bar makes the best drinks. Also don’t sleep on their happy hour - $3.50 oysters with roe and $12 cocktails - AMAZING. Everyone else is great too. Love their patio so much - vibes are immaculate. Oh and the sushi and food? Incredible. Great vegan options too. Love the kale fried rice and bonsai roll, and the fish is always so fresh!

We absolutely loved this place, and we actually went three times there during a 7-day trip. yes, it is very expensive (which I expect lowers the rating for some), but the sushi is very fresh and very tasty. Atmosphere and service are good (not amazing, hence 4 stars for that). We thought the sushi was as good as other high-end sushi restaurants we have tried elsewhere, and the eel on rice was outstanding. Highly recommend!

We loved this place and the vibrancy. It really was amazing. The services was great and everyone was very friendly. We love raw sushi and they had many selections, it really hard to choose but we went with the sugar daddy. In addition, it was one of our anniversary places we chose and they did make us feel very loved & even surprised us with a small dessert! Would recommend trying at least one thing from their menu — small & big portions! You will not regret it!

My absolute favorite staff of any Aspen Snowmass restaurant. Professional but amazing banter if you engage with them. Specific shoutouts to Manny, Serge, Rad, Molly, Erika, Greg, Troy, and Constantine. They make it feel like a home away from home. The tenderloin fried rice (add jalepeno) is amazing. And Frank is the man!

Amazing food and such a great experience! The lobster seafood ramen was cooked perfectly and so flavorful, and the presentation was beautiful. The handmade dumplings and crispy fried salt & pepper squid were also delicious — super fresh and seasoned just right. Lychee Love is one of their fruity cocktails. Not a fruity drinker, try their Millionaire Margarita. The staff were really friendly. You can tell they really care about both the food and the service here. Definitely one of my new favorite spots — I’ll be coming back for sure! Rock Shrimp Tempura became one of my fav app to start with!

An excellent Asian Fusion Restaurant with a separate vegetarian menu . The food preparations were delicious and of high quality. Our server, Jordan provided exemplary service with lots of attention to details and prompt service.

Over priced (but what do you expect) sushi spot on main drag in aspen. Dog-friendly patio. Nice staff! We got the salmon sashimi, double take roll & mamasita roll. Rolls are on the smaller side, but nice composition.

I had an amazing dining experience at Matsuhisa. The Shrimp with Spicy Garlic Sauce was a nice appetizer, the Lamb Chops had a unique barbecue sauce and were cooked to my desired temperature (well done), and all of the sushi was great. My favorite item was the Black Cod, it was sensational. Service was top tier as expected. The ambience is typical of any fine dining establishment, but the interior design was underwhelming. An elevator and coat check are available for accessibility and convenience. Overall 9.5/10!

It was our first time trying this restaurant and it was good. We sat at the bar since we didn’t have a reservation. Our bartender was friendly and helpful. Food was good. I highly recommend making a reservation since it’s hard to get a table.

1st time dining here, asked our server, Marisa R, to please pick her favorites for our entire meal. The result, best sushi we have ever had in our lives (and my wife and I are both sushi connoisseurs)!! Here’s your road map to perfection: (1) Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeno (2) Tuna Tataki with Garlic and Tozas (3) Truffle Sashimi (4) Shiitake Salad (5) King Crab Amazu Pomzu (6) Sashimi: Toro - bluefin belly & Smoked Salmon (7) Sushi Rolls: Hanachi & Dragon (8) Shaved Ice 🍧 pic below Highly highly recommend that when you are in or around Aspen you drop in! Bon appétit my friends!

It seems almost superfluous to review Matsuhisa Aspen, which to my mind is the flagship restaurant of the town. Food, drink, and service are consistently excellent over the years—best of any of the Nobu / Matsuhisa locations I have experienced. Lead sommelier, Dave, recommends and pours Bottled Poetry with world-class style.

Everything was EXCEPTIONAL. Mariana was fantastic. Ask for her! The food was unbelievably delicious. I’ve been in town visiting and I never once felt like a visitor while I was here. Such an amazing experience. 100% recommend coming.

We had a reservation for 9:00 p.m. and, upon realizing our Uber was delayed, we courteously called ahead. The staff assured us that our table would be held without issue. However, upon arrival, we were met by the manager, Olivia, who brazenly contradicted this assurance, falsely claiming our reservation had been canceled because the kitchen was closed. This assertion was patently untrue, as both the posted hours and their own website clearly state service continues until 9:30 p.m. The disingenuous handling of the situation, compounded by the uniformly dismissive and hostile demeanor of the staff, demonstrated an astonishing lack of professionalism and integrity. I cannot in good conscience recommend this establishment, and will certainly make a point to avoid it in the future.

Highly recommend! Delicious food, great service - Aki was very friendly and gave good advice on what to order, even got me milk when my food was spicy! The music was also very good, great atmosphere. Thank you

Servers were too busy, was always looking for a server the whole night. Foods come in small quantities (consider the price) but taste okay. Salmon was not so good in quality.

Nice low lit spot for a date night in Aspen! This was one of the only spots open the week before memorial weekend, but we enjoyed our sushi. Good fish, good menu, decent drinks, and great service. Fish was fresh. We loved the special yellowtail shashimi and the salmon and eel rolls. Yummy. Was over $200 and we didn't even get more than 3 drinks but typical for aspen.

It was great sushi but not the best. Tasted like rice wasn’t the best quality which affected the meal but overall still a great night out. The atmosphere in there was great

Anniversary dinner, greeted by the owner at the door- impeccable service, awesome food (highly recommend anything wagyu, matcha cheesecake and otoro) and fresh sushi in an atmosphere with 🤌🏼 sexy music.

We came here because we actually had dinner reservations, recommended by our hotel at another sushi spot in the area with a famous chef. We had such a horrible time with overpriced starters there, we left without dinner. We search online for this Kenichi Aspen and walked around the corner and found this place. We didn't have reservations, but the hostesses were lovely. They asked how our day was going, complimented our outfits and sat us at a nice table. The servers were so welcoming...they asked us where we were from and just gave very personalized customer service. The food was amazing. There was something wr got that was a miss, but it was still wonderful. This place also has good ambience and wonderful drinks. Even people dining in the restaurant are very pleasant and speak to you as you walk around. I would definitely suggest this spot for sushi in Aspen over any other place. I can't wait to return.

Wagyu bites 9/10 Tempura shrimp roll 9/10 California roll 7/10 Virgin Kiss 7/10 Our great waiter was Hudson And awesome chef Jay I enjoyed the vibes

I don’t even eat fish, yet I’m absolutely in love with all the vegetarian sushi, salads, and especially the desserts here. I really enjoy this place — I’m a regular and plan to keep it that way.

I met Mawa at the Aspen Farmer's Market. She was friendly and open. She invited my friend and me to her restaurant and I'm so grateful we went because the food was excellent. It was fresh and healthy. And the staff were so nice! They were helpful, kind and easy-going. Probably the nicest staff I have encountered for a long time.

The flavor of the food here is next-level!! And the staff was so friendly and accommodating. The gnocchi was so delicious, light yet comforting, and the peach burrata was melt in your mouth. What a beautiful dinner amidst the mountains. Easily the best food in Aspen.

This is by far the best restaurant in Aspen. It might not be in the center of town, but it is so worth the small drive to get to it. The food is fresh and delicious and most of it is organic with a unique twist. Their brunch is incredible, Highly recommend the pancakes and shakshuka. Such amazing food and we listened to a live jazz band! Truly the best Sunday brunch in Aspen. A must!!

Amazing! There was no detail left undone. The service was incredible for a busy Sunday morning, coffee hot, fresh juices, and everything was made from scratch. They are known for the pancakes and we decided to order a 1/2 after breakfast. Definitely worth it. Best we have ever had. When we come back to the area, we will be stopping here again!

This is a very unassuming place, especially for a Michelin rated restaurant. I went for brunch and got the shakshuka and the lavender matcha latte. Both were FANTASTIC and I've had these items several times from other restaurants. The service was quick and attentive, the drink and food came out quickly, and everything was at a perfect temperature. The best part? Brunch here is very reasonably priced for the area, the quality, and the prestige. It's certainly not cheap, but it is a great value if you appreciate good food.

The ingredients were so fresh, and the food itself tasted wonderful. Everything felt fresh and full of flavor. The beautiful flowers, warm atmosphere, and friendly staff made the experience absolutely perfect. I truly enjoyed every moment here!

Mawa's Kitchen is a delightful brunch spot that excels in both flavor and variety. We tried the Denver omelette and French toast, both of which were exceptional. The omelette was hearty, packed with fresh ingredients, and the French toast was perfectly fluffy and decadent. I also appreciated the vegan options, particularly the tofu scramble, which was a satisfying alternative that didn’t skimp on taste. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax over a leisurely meal. While the prices are slightly on the higher side, the portion sizes are generous, ensuring you leave feeling full and satisfied. Overall, Mawa's Kitchen is a must-visit for brunch lovers looking for quality dishes and inclusive options.

Cute little juice & coffee bar. We were looking for a coffee shop and found this little gem. Our coffee and matcha latte drinks were good. However, the girl taking our orders wasn’t attentive.

super disappointed in this place. the woman taking our order was not very attentive and helpful when we asked questions about the menu. the inside and back where they prep everything did not look or feel very clean. there was a woman touching the protein balls with her bare hands and then directly after answered the phone. the smoothie bowl i got did not taste good, the granola almost tasted burnt. there was one single strawberry haphazardly cut up on the top, and less than a quarter of a banana. the smoothie base itself was not good. the smoothie and proteins balls we got were just okay. we spent 60 dollars on 4 small protein balls, one small smoothie bowl with lacking toppings and a chicken wrap that was 90% greens. would not come back here and would not recommend.

Great, clean food. Delicious options for food and so many great juices and drinks. I love the almond milk for a treat. Usually get the charcoal lemonade with lunch. I’m gluten free and have good options.

Paid 22 dollars for strawberry spoiled breast milk, and lawn fertilizer with extra dirt. It seems to be a more money than brains and actual taste in quality type deal. U know the types. Just a high price tag is all that matters. Complete garbage. Wanna toss a couple twenties in the trash? Come on in!!! Then u can be cool too!!!

Tasty, fresh sandwiches and easy pick-up. I especially like the Thon - it’s always a treat to eat one at my desk. It gets busy, but they’re friendly and accurate about when orders will be ready.

love the food and milkshakes here, and the way they treat their customers is amazing. Definitely a 10 out of 10.

Best grab-and-go spot in Aspen. I always come here when I want something quick and easy and they never disappoint.

If you visit Aspen you must have a meal here, won’t be disappointed. We had a lot of things and is had to say which one was the best, you must try at least one pizza, we had the cheese and truffle and the chorizo and avocado and they were spectacular, I think I’ll never get a pizza like this one until I return there. The truffle cacio and Pepe pasta is great and watermelon salad a must. The only thing I personally didn’t liked were the calamari rings with chorizo, but my family loved them.

A go-to local spot in Aspen. Perfect for any occasion. I never come here without going. Everything, but the pizza specifically is literally some of the best I’ve had ever- cravable. Trust. Cozy atmosphere, always incredibly welcoming service. Insane wine list. Highly recommend! Do not sleep on this special spot.

This place is excellent! The bruschetta appetizer was like some kind of delicious rustic flatbread, the veggies all tasted incredibly fresh, and the proteins/pasta dish portion sizes were surprisingly generous. Martina and our other server (female, Argentinian) were both absolutely wonderful, so kind and welcoming to us including our very large dog who accompanied us to dinner!

This was an overall disappointing experience. We ordered the burrata, ciabatta and watermelon salad to start. My partner ordered Chicken Parmesan and I ordered the Spaghetti with beef and veal meatballs as my entrée. The starters were decent, but the entrees were extremely disappointing. The pasta was over cooked and under seasoned. The meatballs were similarly bland and lacked flavor. The chicken parm was unmemorable. The drinks are over priced even for Aspen. Skip it.

Absolutely perfect! This is now on our list of the best Italian restaurants forever. The food,environment, service, and drinks were absolutely outstanding. The food was very well served and presented with different herbs, sauces, and more to make it look like art. The taste was perfect; for example, the crème was perfect. The sugar on top was just hard enough to add a bit of crunch and still be able to melt in your mouth. The Veal Scaloppine was also very delicious, with a refreshing taste to balance out the rich, smooth fried calamari. The best calamari we’ve ever had as well. The service was very cohesive and well timed; when you finish the food in front of you quite quickly, a runner takes your plate and replaces it. Absolutely fantastic overall and highly recommended for anyone looking for a great experience. 9/10

After reading so many glowing reviews, we were expecting exceptional Italian. Unfortunately we were met by mediocre dishes. For $50+, you’d expect fresh pasta but it was disappointingly either overcooked or out of a box. Watermelon salad was the best thing we ate. Overall disappointed in what we expected to be an excellent Aspen dinner.

Stopped by here for dinner the other night and very much enjoyed our dinner! We made reservations but only found to be seated outside, which was fine because it was beautiful out! The serve and busser were very attentive with refills and clearing our table. We got the Caesar salad, which was good! Our main dishes were the pepperoni pizza, which was not spicy but was very delicious! Very thin crust with great flavor, you could tell the sauce was very fresh and not from a can. My gf got the ravioli which was amazing, but it ended up costing $62 because she got upsold on the truffle which was another $24! But we rely enjoyed the food, service and eating outside with so much going on. I would come back here again if in town!

They offer an amazing menu and the food is delicious. The staff seems to be easily distracted when the manager is not standing over them though. The service is extremely slow so be prepared to wait. On our last visit we waited well over an hour for food to come; they didn't begin preparing it until we told them we were leaving, as we were no longer hungry. Good food if you're there for the afternoon and have no other plans!!

Good beer selection and reasonable price with expected premium (would probably give 4 stars for that). Had a burger (18$) plus fries (8$) which were absolutely not worth it! The (expected) premium has absolutely nothing to do with quality. Go to McDonald's instead!

Great environment. Seating is downstairs in a "man cave " type of setting. Plenty of good beer on tap, and craft foods.

Good food, good selection of brews and good service. Only issue I had was price was a bit high for what we purchased (both for food and the drink).

Great service, food, and brews. Vegan friendly a bonus.

Excellent burger and plenty of beer to choose from. The place was packed and quite noisy, but the food was worth it!

My daughter and I ate at the outdoor seating area, and I don't know if the menu would be different inside, but there wasn't a lot to choose from. We ended up ordering 3 appetizers, partly because they were half price for happy hour. They were very tasty and filled us up, but they would have been far too expensive at full price. We were near the server station and heard the chef come out to describe the day's specials to the servers, which was interesting. It was obvious that a lot of thought and care went into the preparation of the specials, and that management wanted the servers to have good information to share with the guests. It felt very professional.

It's a rare restaurant that scores 5 stars across food, service, and atmosphere, but The Monarch hits the trifecta. Everything about the entire dining experience is excellent -- the menu is terrific, the wine list is impressive, the service is personalized without being overbearing, the atmosphere is very nicely done, and the food -- the food is worth coming to Aspen for. There is not a single thing about this dining experience that we would have changed. The Monarch is a not-to-miss part of any trip to Aspen. Not surprisingly, reservations are very highly recommended.

We booked our Christmas Eve Dinner here, and this restaurant delivered. Not only did my boyfriend think the steak was better here than at Catch Steak, but the ambience was wonderful and magical (it’s designed like a London gentlemen’s club so it does lean slightly masculine in style.) All the staff were so happy to be working even though it was a holiday, and our waiter (his name starts with a G and sounded Italian) remembered both of our names and was so kind and hospitable to us. This was a very memorable experience and I would recommend this place to any of our clients visiting from out of town. We ordered the truffle mac and potatoes au gratin which were both cheesy and delicious. 10/10. The Manhattans were good though I wish I had ordered a red wine. I also think the actual filet mignon is better than the bison filet. My boyfriend ordered a bacon bourbon butter and ended up not eating it with his steak even though it sounded great, he said the steak was that good on its own.

So I was riding my motorcycle through downtown Aspen. No other restaurant came close to the steaks. I had the buffalo fillet it was fantastic. The Alaskan King crab legs were excellent Kelly my bartender was a super nice guy with great advice.

We are back at Monarch July 2025, Juan took care of us, amazing personal service and this tine we had the halibut, the Monarch aakad and of course the famous sticky pudding and everything was excellant. Aldo music is set perfectly so you can actually talk to each other. Be sure to ask fir Juan. Wonderful dining experience and delicious food best filet. The manager is so in touch with dining guest, makes experience special. Ceaser salad made table side is also amazing. Great wine list, and really the desert is amazing too. Request Juan as your server. Emelio was great too

Twenty-Four 7 Restaurant @ Monarch Casino Hotel 488 Main St, Black Hawk, CO 80422 I had a great late night! My husband and I were astonished that this restaurant is open 24/7. I parked my F150 for free in their car tower. The food was not the average casino frozen to table entrée. The service here was so personal. The calamari were tasty with just the right amount crisp. The diamond grill marks on my MR steak add a touch of virtuosity. I was craving Asian food and man did the chef deliver. Great job! Don't forget to check out my photos.

The atmosphere, food and quality customer service were phenomenal. This is a fine dining restaurant and we ordered the Monarch Rockefeller, 32 oz Tomahawk Rib Eye (for 2) with Fingerling Smashed potato with Béarnaise sauce and finished with dessert of sticky toffee pudding. We also enjoyed the Burning Man and Black Buffalo Manhattans. Our reservation was at 8 pm (it was a Thursday) and we got seated and greeted quickly and drinks arrived fast too. I was a little surprised at how long it took for our starter to and our meal to arrive but overall it was a lovely experience.

Overpriced and the service was uneven. The ribeye had and Iverpowering rub. Let the meat be the star. The waiter didn't take the order but delivered the food. We didn't know who to flag down.

While the service at this pizza spot was excellent—friendly, prompt, and welcoming—the rest of the experience left me disappointed. The food quality didn’t quite meet expectations, especially considering the higher prices. The flavors were average at best, and the portions didn’t justify the cost. It’s clear the staff cares about delivering good customer service, but unfortunately, that alone isn’t enough to make up for the underwhelming food. For the price point, I expected a much better overall dining experience. Unless you’re just dropping in for the friendly service, I wouldn’t recommend this place based on value. There are better options that deliver both great food and fair pricing.

Absolutely terrible experience and I will never recommend this restaurant to anyone. First, when we asked about the portion size of the Thai Laksa, they showed us a small bowl and claimed it was only enough for one person. Based on that, based on that we ordered two bowls, but each was easily enough to serve two people. This was completely misleading and felt like a tactic to make us order more than we needed. The next day, we ordered Pad Kee Mao for lunch to-go, and the quantity was shockingly smaller compared to the dinner portions we had received the previous night. On top of that, they added a 15% gratuity charge for a takeout order, which is unreasonable. When we called to raise the issue, they hung up on us without listening. We even went there in person, only to be told bluntly that nothing could be done. We were a group of 10 people giving them significant business, yet they showed no respect or accountability. This restaurant is dishonest, unprofessional, and does not deserve anyone’s business.

The food quality was very disappointing. The noodles and fried rice were extremely oily and overly sweet. When we raised our concern, they gave us extra plain boiled noodles and asked to mix them together to dilute the sweetness, but it lost all it’s seasoning when mixed. Additionally, the fried rice had a strange, unpleasant smell, which left us with discomfort for hours after we ate.

After the Gondola ride and too much snow, it was time to eat some spicy Thai food and we found this perfect place in aspen which had vegan options for vegetarians like us. We ordered Tom yum soup, pad Thai drunken noodles and red parang curry. All the dishes were scrumptious and I wanted to have more of drunken noodles. The portion size was a little less for the price. Last we ordered a coconut ice cream which was good enough for 2-3 people. Overall a great place in the middle of aspen with great food and good server. Would visit again when in aspen.

We usually go for Thai cuisine during trips and wanted to give this place a try. Husband ordered cashew nut chicken stir fry which was very okayish, the sauce was off but we completed it. Then I ordered drunken noodles(pad kee moa) - The noodles were super under cooked that we couldn’t east beyond 2-3 bites. I hope you take this review under consideration as the person attending asked us if anything was wrong with it & I said the noodles n shrimp was undercooked she just smiled and said “ok” and went inside.

Bangkok Thai Bistro is a truly beautiful place with amazing and delicious food. The unique and lovely ambiance adds to the overall experience. The vegetable Tom Yum soup was quite enjoyable, and the starters, including chicken satay, dumplings, and shrimp rice rolls with peanut sauces, were really good. The basil fried rice received high praise, and both the green curry and Panang curry were delightful. The pineapple fried rice was decent, though not as exceptional as the other dishes. The waiters were sweet and provided quick service. For Thai food enthusiasts, this place is a must-visit, especially given its stunning location. Don't miss out on trying the outdoor seating, which offers breathtaking views of the Aspen mountains and the beautiful street with its charming flower arrangements. The noodles and special seafood plate was good

- the service was provided very fast and the staff was welcoming - ordered chicken red carry with white rice; it was delicious and the taste very Thai. The portion of the food too big; be aware when you order. - like the place; very simple and reminds me of Thailand Overall, very good experience and highly recommended

Not authentic authentic Chinese food but it's taste is alright and ingredients are fresh. Great service and pricing are reasonable in an expensive area.

Honestly, this was one of favorite restaurants in Aspen. Our experience was great! The service was outstanding and the food was delicious. I had sesame chicken, pot stickers, beef and Brocoli( my sister) and Wonton noodle soups. Everything very very good 👍 👌

Nice portion sizes and speed. It’s pricey but what in aspen is not. Lots of vegan / plant-based options. My wife and I split the green beans and the tofu lettuce wraps. We got an extra side of white rice and that was enough food for a light dinner! Recommended for takeout or dine in.

The food was tasty and the service was good, The prices were on the higher side. They had plenty of seating. We tried fried rice, chilli oil wonton and mushu duck from their menu. 2 star rating because, we were charged extra via tips than we approved. The amount was refunded back after we called.

Stopped here for lunch and loved it! We got the pork soup dumplings, pork pot stickers, and Japanese steak wontons. Everything was great! Food came out super fast and was plated really well. The service was great and very friendly and the whole place was very clean. Definitely recommend.

Had a delicious dinner here. Tried the pot stickers, soup dumplings, and ramen. All of it was great. It’s a little pricey for the serving size, but you can tell it’s all fresh, so it was worth it in my book. Definitely recommend trying

Visited Little Ollie’s Aspen in the off season. The whole town was very quiet as was the restaurant. Food was all OK - I really enjoyed the General Tao’s Chicken, but not so much our Szechuan Beef dish which was very watery for our liking. Restaurant was all clean and service was fine. Atmosphere would be much better when it’s busier I’m sure.

Steaks were good, shishito peppers were fabulous and The salads were really good. Crab cakes were okay, did not love them. Strawberry shortcake was not good, cake was thick and very dry. The fish entrees and scallops were also very good.

They have a lovely rooftop deck for enjoying a great meal. Excellent service and a large selection of drinks and cocktails. The food was very rich and filling -- the portions were just right.

My best friend treated me to a night out here. Everyone was so friendly and the special was delicious. We had a beautiful view of Aspen and it was actually so affordable compared to other places in town.

Had my wedding reception here a few weeks ago, and oh my god it was the best. Everyone raved about the food and service. Unfortunately Jimmy’s is closing soon, but I just wanted to thank you all for the best night of my life. My husband and I will be forever grateful!

I loved the food and the service. Talk about creativity. The chef made chickpea pasta for the vegan entree with mushroom bolognese and cashew cream with basil. I wanted to leave the restaurant quietly after such a mystical dinner but was thrown off by the crowded overpacked firehazard bar on the way out. Talk about hard to get out of.

Incredible food, atmosphere, and service. The chef special Tomahawk steak was one of the best I've ever had.

Great food, great service, steak could have been more marbled (maybe not Prime?)
