Grab a beer at the bar , or have a seat outside . The burger is amazing, and the service is good and fast. Try the onion soup or the seafood tower . Both amazing any time if year.

Really nice staff but incredibly overpriced food. Don't miss the bean dip and bread to start, they were delicious.

Always a top spot for people watching - have an apres-ski cocktail on the patio and relax. One must prepare for an Aspen night out!

The service, sandwiches plus reasonable prices

A lack of vegetarian options are made up with a top notch Mac and cheese , and Farro salad and views .

If you belly up to the bar & Erik is your bartender , ask him about his work with Alpine Initiatives.
