We went there because the reviews were good. The place is really next to the gondola so the view is spectacular. The service was not extraordinary, just usual. The burger was excellent and the food was good. I would go again for lunch. For dinner , there many more options in Aspen.

Ha! Always a good choice if you have the budget. Service on the deck is good and interactive, food is variable (still the best truffle fries), and cost is very "aspen-Like." Views/Venue is great. Re-enact the Trump slapping on the northeast edge of the deck when wife#1 found out he brought his mistress to Aspen with the entourage!

Beautiful setting on the patio, looking up at the ski mountain and the gondola. Service was friendly and reasonably good. Prices were high, vacation tourist zone high. I had the burger, wife the charcuterie plate. Both were good. However, both cost more than we are used to paying for such items, but the quantity was fine, esp. for the charcuterie, plenty to eat.
We had ice tea to drink. An outrageous $7 per glass. And, they charged us for the refill, another full $7.

Great lunch with a great view. After skiing ajax all morning, sitting on the terrace with clear skies and a hearty meal is good way to start your afternoon. The waitstaff are generally pleasant though very busy. When seated we were told 60min limit, they try to turn the tables quickly. The food was very good, french onion soup, steak sandwich, salad, were all very tasty. The cocktails and wine selection are good and the service is fine…a little distracted because of so much going on but not negligent. When done with lunch, it’s a ten step walk to the Gondola.

Great place for lunch on the sundeck on a sunny day and great vibe at dinner. Have the Wagyu pasta and the mixed platter with the pate.
