Very quaint bar and dining area. We sat at the bar on a Saturday night around 6:30PM. Duncan and a second bartender were absolutely amazing. Both very personable and made excellent drinks and recommendations. We are longer dining individuals and appreciate the no rush. Coming from Dallas and both sort of foodies so we order a lot, just to try. We had the buratta, calamari, beef short rib, spinach bolognese, apple crisp, and an affogato which were all excellent. The short rib was moist and tender and the bolognese was hearty and plenty with great flavor. When we come back to Aspen, we will be dining here again. The hosts were also great!
