   Aspen is back on our "go to" list! We enjoyed our dinner and he service. I found the lobster bolognese unique and delicious, while my wife enjoyed the Lamb Stew entre. It's a great place to enjoy a fine dinner!

   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.

   We had make a reservation through Open Table but there were seats at the bar so we told the hostess to cancel our reservation and took the bar seats. It was busy and only one bartender who was also making drinks for the entire restaurant. Not a good idea on a Saturday night. It took awhile for the bartender to acknowledge us then we did get menu’s and a drink very quickly, we heard a waiter in back of us reciting the specials so we were anxious to hear them from the bartender but when she came back she said do you know what you want to order, my husband said we want to hear the specials so she just handed us a piece of paper with the on them to review. I ordered a fish special and my husband ordered he Kobe Beef Pot Stickers and Petite Lamb Wellington food came out on time but my fish was mushy and tasteless and his pot stickers were crispy hard to even cut with a knife, he asked for a steak knife which never arrived but he flagged down the bartender again and she brought it right over. She asked if I wanted to order something else so I tried the pot stickers and a grilled romaine salad, which both came out on a timely manner again the pot stickers were very crispy and the grilled romaine tasted like charcoal. Very strongly. Wine and drink selection was very good and ambiance is very nice and cozy. Needless to say we left hungry and unsatisfied. Unfortunately we are taking this off our list we have been to Aspen on several occasions and it was very good but has gone downhill, they need to step it up or we won’t be back.
