We had a wonderful meal. Seared tuna appetizer and grilled octopus for appetizers. Then we had the scallops and the halibut. We finished with cheesecake for dessert. OUTSTANDING meal. Great cocktails, and the bottle of sauvignon blanc was a perfect pairing. Hayley was a wonderful server. Very attentive, professional, and approachable. Great evening.

The staff at Aspen is friendly and very accommodating. My wife and I dined at Aspen to celebrate her birthday. We shared the market salad and both of us had the tenderloin medallions special, which were done perfectly. I had the coconut chocolate chip bread pudding and my wife had the chocolate raspberry mousse for dessert. It was a delightful night, wonderful food and terrific staff.

Food was excellent. It was a Friday night, so very crowded, very noisy and somewhat slow service because of the crowd. But, the server was very pleasant and helpful.

Food/was/good./ Came out too quickly/if/anything. Drinks/had not been served. Had to ask the woman who was very attentive serving water and clearing plates/to/find/them/for us, Had the grilled romaine salad. We have been ordering it every time we come to Aspen. This time we were both a little disappointed. Drinks/good. Lamb Wellington amazing. The meal was spoiled by the/waitress. Very long wait before she approached our table. She took our order…..came by once as we finished our salad to ask how it was. We couldn’t find her when we sat without drinks and had to ask someone else to find them for us. Then when we wanted dessert she kept passing by - we tried to catch her eye and even yelled after her but she did not hear. We finally got up to find her and ask for our bill. Left without dessert. We do love Aspen, but this meal was spoiled.
