Amazing dinner experience. We were delighted by the food, service, pairings, and ambiance. The chef came out to chat with us and was happy to indulge us with explaining some of their sourcing and selections. Would definitely recommend and we'll be back!! read more

Locally owned Michelin starred restaurant with a 5 course or chef's tasting menu nightly. The portions appear small but by the end of it you are very full. Having dined at Bosq since the doors originally opened, we have seen Chef Barclay Dodge grow into his success over the years which has been a truly scrumptious adventure. Cannot wait for the summer menu! Most recent visits are priced on point for a Michelin starred restaurant of this caliber and a must visit for foodies! read more

My husband dined here last year on our first trip to Aspen and made a return visit this year. Dare I say, our second visit was even better than the first. We sat at the bar and were thoroughly entertained by Justin, the bartender, as we dined on delicious food, cocktails and wine. The 5 course was the perfect amount of food to leave us satiated and satisfied. It was as beautiful as it was delicious. Hoping we can make another trip back to this wonderful establishment. read more

Bosq nails it on every level and is definitely deserving of its Michelin star. The food, the service, the seating, the ambiance, are all exceptional. I had been wanting to go for the longest time and on our most recent trip, I waited too long, and all reservations were taken. In addition to setting the Notify Me tab, I used the Contact form to let them know of our interest and availability, and after a few exchanges with the very kind co-owner/chef's wife, Molly, we managed to get a table in the dining room on the last evening before they closed for the season. It was well worth the wait. We opted for the 5 course menu, and appreciated that we could each make different selections and were not obligated to have the same thing at each course as is the case in some tasting menu restaurants. I particularly enjoyed the roasted duck with endive, the duck liver mousse and the bison tartare. Every bite of each item, as well as the several amuse bouches, was absolute perfection, beautifully presented and timely served by professional staff. We were assisted in the selection of a bottle of wine by the knowledgeable sommelier, who hit the target with his excellent advice in narrowing down our choices on the extensive wine list. While this is surely a special occasion restaurant--and in a league of its own in Aspen--I highly recommend Bosq for any occasion and cannot wait to go back again this summer. read more

I've been going to Aspen for a ski trip every year, my favorite restaurant has been CasheCashe, but it might be changing... I found Bosq when I asked the little nell concierge to make dinner reservations this past February, they recommended Bosq saying the new hottest restaurant, so I looked it up online, decided to give it a try. We walked in, the place is small, so the restaurant including the bar area was packed, but we got seated right away with a nice welcome. We'd pre-ordered Peking duck, so we just had to pick a couple of appetizers. We picked beef tartar and duck liver mouse, beef tartar wasn't the traditional style that we are used to, but it was delicious and so was duck liver, lot of flavors, asian inspired, so yummy! We should've just ordered one Peking duck and got more appetizers, but my boyfriend wanted to get his own entree so we got 2 ordered of Peking duck, but lots of duck and we both couldn't finish it.. We wanted to come back the next evening, but of course we couldn't get a reservation in such a short notice, so next Aspen trip for sure. I think the chef is amazing, I'd like to try everything on the menu, and would love to meet the chef... This is the best restaurant in Aspen in our opinion right now... read more

A unique experience with get vibes! Food was extraordinaire and service was impeccable.

Bosq came highly recommended from our concierge, I don't know why. She recommended several restaurants and we chose four nights of fine dining, together. We loved every place but Bosq and it was the most expensive. $513 for two people: 4 cocktails, two $130 four course dinners, a glass of cab and two coffee drinks. The food was unusual but good, the portions were tiny. Everything but the entrees could have been served in the tiny bowls they use for salsa at Mexican restaurants! The service was good. They should warn you in advance the portions are tiny and you will leave the most expensive four course meal in town, still hungry. We ate at Jimmy's, 7908 and Steakhouse 316. Each was excellent, we left full and each was $75-100 less expensive. I hate to ding a restaurant but Bosq stands out as a ridiculously expensive dinger in my experience. read more

We had a lovely experience with Natalie and her trainee Daniel who wore flowers in his hair. One of the last independently owned restaurants in Aspen, be prepared a for a passionate group of foodies resy to make sure you love every minute. From the cocktails to dessert, each offering was notable and delicious. read more

Wow, bosq aspen is majorly dope !! Easily the most creative and inspiring menu town, nothing even comes close! 10/10 eat at bosq aspen damn chef barclay is tight and so is the food !! read more

Underwhelming for a Michelin star restaurant. Service not on par either. Chef tasting was overpowered by juniper, lobster undercooked, steak overcooked. Sadly disappointed. So many other chef tasting restaurants that blow them out of the water....Catbird Seat...Central in Lima Peru stellar. read more

We came here the other night and have a mixed review. Definitely get a seat on the patio, the dining inside is very stuffy. The smoked salmon crackers were so good, I would order again for sure. The sweet and sour eggplant was a bit too sweet but good overall and the tempura shiitake was amazing. My other diner had the $60 steak and was pretty disappointed it had zero flavor and wasn't cooked properly. The steak was a massive disappointment. Wines and service were good! read more

High-end dining experience offering a distinctive menu from Chef focused on use of local ingredients. It is a small intimidate space with limited bar seating which feels ultra cozy. My second season dining there and not disappointed. The most popular items such as the salmon crackers still on with new and interesting dishes featuring locally foraged herbs and ingredients. read more

Came here on honeymoon. Food was 5/5. Our server Emma was 2/5. She greeted us extremely rudely when we entered, and then proceeded to act like the dietary restrictions we told her about (my wife is pregnant) were basically an inconvenience to her and she ignored them (raw steak sent back twice). For the price, service should be great but definitely was not the case. There are other places that are less expensive, with same food quality and better service in Aspen so save your money. read more

Rude/arrogant/unfriendly/pretentious. So many descriptions because it is so strange and atypical for Aspen where everyone is generally welcoming and friendly. We wanted to try it again, after our last unpleasant experience a few years ago-when we experienced the same-rude/arrogant/unfriendly/pretentious. My husband did not want to give it a second try but I insisted. Big regret. Same-rude/arrogant/unfriendly/pretentious. Who...same front man. I believe he is the owner...which actually makes it worse snd even more reason to skip. So many great, friendly and warm restaurants in town-not Bosq. I cannot review the food...the front experience just left us wishing we had never sat down- What a disappointment. Will not return. Too much money to spend somewhere that makes you feel like they are doing you a favor. read more

Enjoyed our time at Bosq and Dabra the waitress was amazing. The place is tiny so make sure to make a reservation beforehand during the high season. We started with the smoked salmon crackers which was amazing and would highly recommend it if you enjoy salty crispy stuff. Next we had the cauliflower soup which was light and just ok, didn't like the hot stone they have in the middle which makes eating the soup much harder. Next had the rabbit confit which was tasty and great for two to share. As for main dishes we went with the octopus and the pecking duck bosq style. The octopus was the winner between the two although the duck was good as well, but was a bit tough to chew for my taste. Finally we finished off with the chocolate ganache s'mores which was light and good, personally I would like something sweeter. My ratings: Smoked salmon crackers: 8.5/10 Cauliflower soup: 7/10 Rabbit confit: 8/10 Pecking duck: 8/10 Octopus: 8.5/10 Chocolate ganache s'mores: 7/10 read more

AMAZING, one of my favorite restaurants in Aspen! Everything on the menu is awesome. The chef and his staff are friendly and kind. The food outstanding! The atmosphere and lighting are perfect. Thank you, Selma read more

Wow, we had the tasting menu last night it was fantastic. Service was impeccable - Emily the manager was so nice! I had 4 course tasting - sweet & sour eggplant, grilled lobster, oxtail & black trumpet mushrooms and the surprised us with all 3 desserts - the almond joy was my favorite! My husband ordered the 5 course and opted for the forest soup and oysters which both tasted incredible. Kudos to this staff and chef team. We will be back again! read more

The very best in Aspen. The portion is perfect and taste really good. Will definitely want to come back.

Local chef brings the highest level of cuisine and panache. Ever changing menu. I do see him oftentimes at the summer markets.

We booked Bosq, reading it was a nice upscale place for my ladies bday. Peking Duck is its highlight, we have heard. We booked reservations to make sure we had a spot during Covid. The place is very very nice with maybe 5 tables inside. We sat down and order the best from the menu. I can tell you the main service lady seems like she was not enjoying our business. I felt uncomfortable with her. Their food looks amazing but was less than par. I understand Aspen being an expensive getaway, But I dont like being ripped off. We are okay supporting small business during covid but this was ridiculous. for crappy food. $380 for a 4 course meal for my wife, I got the 5 course. and two bottle sparkling water. No alcohol. I SAY GO TO BETULA instead. read more

Yum town! I didn't pay so I can't tell you if it was worth the $$. It was worth the evening, though! Creative apps like zucchini boats and brussels ... then the Peking Duck. Well done, Chef... a little more Hoison sauce is needed since there is so much duck. Good work, Bosq! read more

Very elegant restaurant. Excellent service. Our waitress and the rest of the staff was very attentive. Very small portions, plating was beautiful and artistic. Meat was somewhat tough and overcooked. My husband had lamb loin and he was disappointed . I give the place 5 stars because of staff friendliness and ambience but the chef might want to revisit his menu for the price you pay. read more

I ate here with my husband on day 2 of reopening with the summer menu, and we both were blown away by our meal. We ordered the 4 course tasting menu and wine pairing. We were so impressed by the creativity behind each dish. We enjoyed how the chef uses local ingredients from the surrounding area and incorporates them into the dishes. Our favorites were: - Smoked Salmon Cracker - Carrots cooked in earth - Peking Duck - Halibut wrapped in chard (this was my absolute favorite paired with the white wine they chose) Overall our taste buds were incredibly happy after this meal and next time we are in town, we'll definitely be back! Kind of silly and I know this is no fault of the restaurant, but I am deducting 1 star for ambiance. The restaurant is in front of a children's playground so that can be a little distracting if you are looking for a quite romantic evening with your loved one(s). read more

Bosq - View from patio - New American Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

My wife, Kristine, and I agree that we enjoyed the most fabulous 5 course dinner of our lives at Bosq last night. The complex flavors of each selection bursted on our palates with exquisite pleasure, and I'm not exaggerating. Each course naturally followed the previous one. And the hospitality was perfect. There are some great restaurants in Aspen, but to be sure, Bosq is the best of the best. John H. read more

Delicious 5-course meal! Bosq is now offering all fixed-price menus, with options for 4, 5 or 7 courses. We did the 4-course one ($150) with a wine pairing option. The tomato carpaccio with caviar, salmon entre, and lobster were all amazing. Wines were well paired with the food, all high quality. The food was innovative, fresh, and very very tasty. Service was well paced, attentive, and friendly. It is not a cheap option, but definitely worth it. read more

My hubs and i went here for a drink and a snack. The space is gorgeous. Great patio. We sat at the bar and met the very awesome bartender, Steve. He took great care of us. We ordered drinks and the buratta. The buratta was effing amazing. If we could have licked that plate, we would have. The fried garlic scapes were so delicious! We'd definitely go back. read more

Still dreaming of this food!! The steak, scallops, Duck... literally ALL of it, was A+. We sat at the bar, and both Nicks (wine sommelier and bartender) were incredibly warm, kind, and knowledgeable. Easily my new favorite restaurant in Aspen. Our entire party agreed that between the food, the experience, and the service -- it all was amazing and exceeded expectations. read more

Bosq - New York Steak - New American Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

Creative culinary experience well worth the visit!!! Staff is amazingly welcoming and fun. The ambiance is hip and modern. But the food is the show stopper. Tempura shiitake mushrooms with an aged soy aoli is simply cravable. The Peking duck confit buns are deeply flavorful. And the carne asada tacos on blue corn soft shell are well balanced savory delights. My only knock is the civice'd green tomato that is served on the side with it is over the top and too bold in acidity. The taco stand great all alone. I have seldom enjoyed a better ribeye steak. The outer crust appears to have been seared in duck fat to bring out a bold balance of flavors with every bite. I personally do not enjoy cooked salmon but we ordered one and this could make me a convert. The cocktail list is creative with an equally impressive wine list. I encourage anyone to sit at the bar as it is more social and enhances the fun of the small space. I hope Bosc can stay great for the long haul like Piñons, Steak 316 and Matzuhisa. read more

Possibly the best restaurant I've ever been to... Every dish was amazing. I did a lot of tasting menus in Italy this summer in Capri and Lake Como - this beats all of them no question. Also, the service was best ever... I was at the bar and highly recommend. The bar tender was so nice, attentive, and knowledgeable of the dishes. He checked in constantly and explained every dish in detail and talked about the chef and the restaurant. This is the only chef owned restaurant in Aspen and it really shows. You can see and taste the care and thought that goes into every dish and the use of local ingredients is phenomenal. They forage local items, use local elk, etc. There was a local mini candied pinecone that I loved on the gelato. The scallop and elk was cooked perfectly. The bar top has a gold dog trinket embedded in it representing the chef's dog, meaningful portraits are hung, etc there is just so much thought, care, and love in the restaurant you can tell the team loves what they're doing and it makes all the difference and shows in the food, service, and ambiance. I could go on... Just go! read more

Upon arrival, I was greeted with a warm welcome. I sat on the patio and the dining experience started. The ambiance on the patio and what I saw of inside were chic rustic and cozy. I was served two apps that were delicious and then had the rib eye for my main course. Wow. I'm a rib eye guy and this one was amazing. Cooked to perfections and garnished with just enough to keep the meat as the focal point. Everyone was very kind. Next time...... Great place to eat in aspen!!!! read more

Bosq - New American Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

Wow, what a great restaurant, my new favorite when in Aspen. The Chef's menu is so creative with an Asian influence. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes. We ended up trying the small plates and sharing. Started with the tempura shitakes and a craft cocktail I had the barrel Negroni, my husband had the Puma. The next plate was the duck liver mousse, so tasty. The fried eggplant was so good, I wish I could have seen how it was prepared. We moved on to the winter greens, check my pic, it was beautiful. The scallops were seared perfectly and paired with more vegetables. We both had a white wine and a red wine to accompany the small plates. The wine list is good, we tried the Sincerre, Columna Albarino, Ruet Beaujolais, Cote du Rhone Villages. The atmosphere is beautiful, service impeccable, just a great dinner out. Living in Crested Butte the winter drive is a little long, but can't wait till summer to return, drive over Kebbler Pass is quicker. Absolutely try this restaurant. Can't wait for my next dinner here. Also, the bar looks fun, and they have a bar menu. read more

This is an exquisite restaurant that never fails to impress. From the wine list to the incredible tastings as well as friendly and attentive staff this is a must go -to on every single visit to Aspen. I'd give it 500 stars if I could. read more

Waffling in rating due to a few factors. Food overall was good. Butterscotch pudding out of this world good. Pork Belly Tacos - not good. Shiitakes & eggplant - so good Wagyu so so good. Duck - so so good. Salmon - so good. Service was sub par and sloppy for a variety of reasons, but one made a real difference in our experience. As someone who lives in a tourist town, I totally understand that you've got to make your local customers a priority, make them feel appreciated etc so that they keep coming back - and that was apparent. So much so that as a visitor, it was clear our level of satisfaction was not important. We're huge fans of small chef owned and operated restaurants and we plan our vacations around food (literally), so I was disappointed that every other table was approached by the chef/owner except ours. There was a distinct difference in tone and energy from our server at our table vs the others on site. I get it, it's shoulder season, you're all about the locals, but it doesn't feel great to obviously be the outsider. Food should bring people together and servIce will make or break an experience. Just my opinion. read more

By far the best restaurant in Aspen!!! If you are a foodie, this is the place to be. The flavors, textures, and presentation are pure perfection! Everything from placing the order, speaking with our waitress Natalie, enjoying the meal, and meeting the chef was wonderful! As we reserved for this restaurant towards the end of our trip, we didn't have a chance to come again. I wish I had reserved dinner here at the start of our trip and ended with a repeat of this restaurant because we loved every bite!! You can tell the chef truly cares about the food (quality, flavor, presentation) as this is the only chef owned and run restaurant in town. Best thing you can do in Aspen is reserve here! read more

Ok WOW!! When in Aspen, you can just assume you'll be spending a lot of money when you eat out. Unfortunately a lot of restaurants are overpriced with mediocre food. Bosq on the other hand was expensive, yes, but SOO worth it!! You can pick the number of courses you want and then you can literally pick ANY dishes on the menu. Literally. You could get 4 entrees if you wanted. Or you could get an appetizer, snack, entree and dessert. ITS A CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE!!! And every dish is SO COOL and well thought out. The chef even forages for items which you'll find in your dish. My brother got lamb kebabs grilled on actual branches. BY FAR the most tasty dish was the tempura eggplant in sweet and sour sauce. I could eat a boat of this. I also looooved my oyster and lobster dishes I will say, they are known for their Peking duck, but it was just FINE. I've had authentic Peking duck and this doesn't compare, so I would try something else!!!! read more
