The view is great, the food is perfect bc there is a wok bar, salad bar, hamburger/cheese steak grill option, grab and go food, a pizza station. The highlight though is the bar. Aspen hired a phenomenal bartender and her name is Amy G. I have never met a bartender who is able to handle her craft as well as she does. So friendly, so knowledgeable about the area. I swear if she worked at a bar in town I'd be her best customer. The food was pretty good too. I had a burger, friend had pizza and my hubby had a bowl from the wok bar. In the wintertime this place is slammed. You take the gondola and it's right there. The place to be seen. The bluegrass sundays just ended. But they are so fun to go see and hang out in the sun.

The Cliffhouse at the Top of Buttermilk Mountain has great food options, including healthy ones,…read morewhich is rare for an on-mountain lodge. The lodge has your standard ski lodge food options like burgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, pizza, chili, soups, sourdough soup bowls, etc. Salads are available, and are ok, but not great. And they do have a fresh juice bar which is nice. And the lodge is exceptionally clean and tidy. But what I love and think is great, is the ability to get good quality Asian food - Vietnamese Pho Soup, Pad Thai, as well as a Mongolian BBQ Wok. And the servers making the Pho are actually Vietnamese which is nice as well. Now, it's Not the Best Pho I've ever had, and you pick your own ingredients from a self-serve bar, but I think for being at 10,000 feet, at the top of a mountain in the middle of Winter, it's a pretty cool option to have. You rarely have the ability to get unique, healthy and tasty options like this at other ski mountains, especially on the East Coast. Most mountains in the East and West, with the exception of high end resorts (Aspen, Telluride, Sun Valley, Whistler, etc), just have standard Sysco-type food - packaged burgers, hot dogs, pizza, etc. So, it's great to have something healthy to eat instead. Not to mention, the FABULOUS VIEW you have sitting on the outdoor deck overlooking the Aspen Highlands mountain across the valley, and Pyramid Peak mountain in the far distance. Probably the BEST PANORAMIC VIEW from any of the Lodges in Aspen/Snowmass. And yes, it's pricey, but everything is pricey at ski resorts and given that you're in Aspen, don't expect a budget lunch - expect to pay around $20 per person for lunch (most food items are $8-$15, plus drinks, tax, etc.) If you're looking for budget, there are plenty of lower-end ski resorts in the country to visit, not here though. Just being honest. So, Overall, I Highly Recommend The Cliffhouse for the Food and the View!!

We got chili that had a bit of a kick, plus a half Reuben sandwich. Sister got red lentil curry soup. The restaurant also has a variety of baked goods, including some gluten free selections. There are coin lockers and a changing room for skiers arriving by car. The ski shop, Four Mountains Sports, inside this shared space will rent ski equipment and sells equipment such as helets and backpacks as well. The day we were here for lunch, a huge private party was being hosted on picnic benches out in the snow. We enjoyed the live music. Ski bum ambience with no requirement to be staggering around in ski boots. At the base of the Twin Creeks chair lift. Lots of blue runs off that lift, and you can head back to the main Snowmass Village off of that lift so it might be a nice place to ski toward the end of the day when the area will still be catching afternoon sun.

They have a coat check which is great for those coming in big jackets during winter. You must make a reservation one month in advance as it books quickly. There are a variety of menu options, including the chef omakase. Personally, I prefer the (not advertised) "server omakase" as it is tailored more to the guest preferences and experiences. And let me tell you, I have done the server omakase for 3 years now, and it knocks my socks off every time. The sake and cocktail menu are also extensive - there is something for everyone! Huge shoutout to Tammi who always checked in on us and guided us through a wonderful evening.

Let's focus on the rotisserie chicken which comes with wilted kale and French fries. The flavors, while simple, work so well together. Simply delicious - and those gorgeous fries are the BEST I've ever eaten. Maybe a day on the slopes makes everything taste better but seriously dear readers these are irresistible. Of all the restaurants in Aspen this is our favorite. We can't wait to visit our friends again to spend an evening with Jody and her team. Enjoy!

From the moment we walked in, I loved the atmosphere -- it has such a cozy yet high-end feel that makes it perfect for a special occasion. Our server, Jay, was amazing. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and gave us great recommendations that really enhanced our experience. We ordered the Caesar salad, which I understand is one of their signature dishes, and it did not disappoint -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The onion soup was perfect for the weather, warm, comforting, and very tasty. We also had the burger, which was excellent and very satisfying. We didn't order more only because we had already had snacks on the mountain, but honestly, everything we saw being served around us looked incredible. It's definitely a place I would love to come back to in order to try more dishes. Highly recommend for both the ambiance, the service, and the quality of the food.

Hot, delicious, loved that the cheese was thin and not a thick layer. Same goes for the bread. 2. Ribeye cap (special; 8oz) - Very peppered with a crust on top. Delicious and more lean than I thought (which is not a bad thing). 3. Asparagus - Nice touch that they split them lengthwise. Salt and pepper, sauce on the side as requested. Very good. 4. Bison burger - Big, oily, messy. Truffle fries are average but good flavor. The bacon in the burger is overpowering so had to remove and put on the side. Overall a nice steakhouse dinner, especially for a mountain town. Recommend to try!

It's nice enough looking and the servers were friendly and helpful. The manager came by and checked on us the 3 times we ate here. Admittedly it was the off-season so the staff was new and learning, but our experience was great! The Huevos Rancheros wasn't on the menu (just room service), but the manager said she could do it and boy was it fantastic! The eggs benedict was also a great choice as my wife ordered it daily. All in all, we were very happy with the service, taste, experience and would recommend it to anyone.

DINNER REVIEW: When we first walked in I noticed the…read morerestaurant was beautifully decorated, like the rest of the hotel, and the service was wonderful, our water was always full and our waiter was very attentive! We ordered wine to start, and the selection is about average, lots of pricey wines and not a whole lot of more affordable, good quality wines were offered. Nonetheless, we thoroughly enjoyed ours! They started us with a complimentary pork belly appetizer which was incredible! Next we had among the 5 of us: the kale salad (amazing) the fried calamari (lots of tentacles with small pieces, could be better) Margarita pizza - average, wouldn't order it again The burrata, definitely our best choice! For dinner we had the ribeye, also a wonderful choice and cooked beautifully. The tuna was really good, but cut a little odd so it was sort of awkward to eat. The cavatelli pasta with sausage was also very good, I'd definitely order that again. The chicken was good, a large serving so certainly shareable. For sides we had the mushroom risotto which was perfectly done and very flavorful (my favorite part of the meal), the meatballs which were quite dense and garlicky, and the brussel sprouts which were pretty good. I personally had the rigatoni bolognese, which unfortunately was so undercooked I couldn't eat it at all. Not al dente, just flat out underdone :( the presentation was beautiful though! And someone in my party ordered iced tea, for which they brought sugar, but she said it was so sweet already so I'm not sure if they know is sweetened already? They offered us an array of desserts to make up for the few mishaps which were all amazeeee, especially the tiramisu and the chocolate ice cream with toasted fluff on top and caramel! It had a different name but either way it was great. I'd come back to try it again possibly, but we have had so many incredible dinners in Aspen I had to give this place a 3, mostly because the only thing I ordered was the rigatoni (inedible). Better luck next time I suppose!

So we got the $14 cheese pizza and $12 margarita. The margarita was 5 stars for flavor - strong and tasty, low ball glass. 4 stars for value. The pizza was 2 stars because it was edible but think like high school cafeteria pizza. The sauce was not very good and the cheese was cheap and greasy. The served it with red pepper flakes and some pre-grated parm, it needed that just for the flavor. Seemed like a $5 dollar gas station pizza not a $14 happy hour pizza that's normally sold for more - so 1 star when value is considered. Come for a drink - don't get the pizza. The servers were nice and service was quick.
