    By far, the best eatery in Aspen! Matsuhisa is a must for those who love sushi. They have an upstairs and downstairs dining experience - I have always done the one downstairs. 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.

    Get everything. Everything is amazing and the ambiance is perfect. Genuinely some of the best sushi I've ever had and a very helpful bartender helped us choose what to get!

    The food was absolutely amazing and I ordered the spicy tuna roll with the California roll and I don't know if I'm allergic to shellfish anything but absolutely housed that California roll. It was really good. The service is amazing and our waiter was so nice. The ambience is very nice and they have some lights going around the restaurant. That was really cool. If anyone wants to go to a sushi restaurant in Aspen, I would definitely recommend this place.

    I had an amazing dining experience at Matsuhisa. The Shrimp with Spicy Garlic Sauce was a nice appetizer, the Lamb Chops had a unique barbecue sauce and were cooked to my desired temperature (well done), and all of the sushi was great. My favorite item was the Black Cod, it was sensational. Service was top tier as expected. The ambience is typical of any fine dining establishment, but the interior design was underwhelming. An elevator and coat check are available for accessibility and convenience. Overall 9.5/10!

    Exceptional freshness which you would expect from such a renowned chef. They had a wide variety to select from. The sushi and sashimi was so good. I had the miso soup which was average. We sat outside which was fun, but I think the downstairs indoor seating is a little more intimate, especially if you are on a date. Be ready to pay for what you would consider Aspen prices. I'm not sure if we were paying for the fish being flown in daily or for Matsuhisa's name. Either way it is expensive.

    Best dining experience and food in Aspen! Tammy, our server, was a very animated server and put together a tasting menu for us that was stellar! Also, she recommended a green cocktail that had ginger and Serrano peppers in it that was delicious! The ambiance is definitely energetic and fun!

    If you want to splurge on a nice dinner and want to try a little of everything go the omakase route! Food and service were amazing!! We got lucky with our servers knowledge Luis, and the sushi chef that has been working at Matsuhisa for 22+ years. The highlight of our omakase experience within the 8 - courses, was the Uni & fresh wasabi. We ordered the Uni a second time but it didn't hit the same. Besides our second round of Uni. If we could try Matsuhisa all over again we would in a heart beat!

    It was okay! I am from a coastal town so am used to having very high quality seafood. We took an 8pm seating during the holidays and the restaurant was extremely packed. Note there is a difference between the upstairs and downstairs here. We ordered the rock shrimp, sautéed mushroom salad, a spicy roll, shishito peppers and the broiled miso cod. I was most impressed by the vegetable dishes here the mushroom salad was the stand out of the meal. The miso cod and rock shrimp were good but nothing excellent. Ambiance overall was very nice, good music, low lighting, and a free coat check.

It's one of those places where the atmosphere alone sets the tone for a special night. The food is refined but comforting. The truffle pasta is phenomenal and the branzino was perfectly prepared -- light, fresh, and full of flavor. Service was polished and professional without feeling stiff. The staff made great wine suggestions and the pacing of the meal was perfect. Casa Tua manages to feel both exclusive and welcoming at the same time, which is rare. One of the most memorable dinners we had in Aspen.

It was pretty quiet (still off-season), and my husband and I were the only ones there when we walked in around 10. We sat at the bar and had a lovely conversation with Jeremy; I ordered the Gingerbread Man (take on an old fashioned with brown butter washed bourbon, and my husband got the "50 Shades of Green" - definitely one of the most unique cocktails we've ever tried! The description "arugula infused gin, yogurt washed aquavit with Pandan herbs & lime" - it had everything - some sour, some umami, some sweet from the Pandan - what a fun and unique cocktail. Shortly after we walked in, a huge group of 10-12 women walked in followed by some other groups shortly after them. It was a really fun atmosphere and both cocktails were 10/10.

Price: Expect standard Vail pricing for high-end cocktails, with most drinks ranging between $16-$20. Customer Service: The service was fantastic. The staff was incredibly kind and efficient; even though we stayed for quite a while to catch up, we felt welcomed and well-attended to the entire night. Atmosphere This spot has a cool, welcoming vibe that feels very safe. It's the kind of environment where you can really settle in and enjoy the company you're with. The Drinks I ordered the Sangre del Sol. The flavor was amazing, though be warned it is very strong! It's an excellent choice if you enjoy a cocktail with a serious kick, but I ended up letting my friend finish mine after a few sips. Overall Experience I highly recommend Root & Flower for a beautiful setting and top-tier service. Pro Tip: A huge bonus for this location is the parking! You can park for free after 3 PM at the S. Frontage Rd. East garage right nearby. I'll definitely be back!

We also got the focaccia bread which I felt was kind of greasy. I didn't even dip it in the oil cause it had enough oil in its own. We also got the margherita flatbread, but that didn't feel like a flatbread at all. The bread was thick and made it feel more like a pizza. The taste was good so I won't knock it completely, but I wouldn't be calling that a flatbread. Service was great, just a shame the food doesn't live up to expectations. I'd probably stick to the wine and charcuterie which were the best things I had.

We also ordered the beef wellington. They were very good but not fantastic. It's a complicated dish and making it for so many across hours of service can create rubbery pate, and undercooked pastry.

There was one waiter for the entire place. This created forgotten orders (never got our caeser salad, had to remind him we ordered Brussel sprouts, and never got our coffee with our dessert). They need an additional server front of house and probably an extra busser to help with food delivery, drinks, etc. I would go back. And give it another chance as everyone working there was really nice and working hard. The space is also relaxing and welcoming.
