Had no idea what to expect at Mollie considering they don’t even have a proper dining room. Was so pleasantly surprised by the level of service and the food. All four in our party loved everything we had. Would go back again tomorrow.

Food and service was good, extremely overpriced but you’re in Aspen so I guess that is expected. We knew the prices ahead of our visit but the portions were extremely small. There are definitely other restaurants in Aspen and Snowmass that are excellent and not as pricey.

Service was really good. Ambience was warm and homy. We ordered crispy Brussel sprouts, crab cake, avocado crunch salad, lamb bolognese, and curry salmon. Also order a bourbon cocktail and chocolate mousse. Everything tastes great! We had a great time after a whole ski. Staff were all very friendly!
