4.5 stars. Pricey restaurant but upscale. Service was very friendly and timely. Had a beautiful corner table. Recommend reservations. 1. Elk carpaccio - Not overly powerful with the game taste. Has a lemon hint and very delicious with the cheese. 2. Wagyu steak - Cooked perfectly as ordered and flavorful. Not overly peppered or salted on the outside. Good size to share. Large wine menu and good selection of single glasses as well. Overall, a great dinner experience for an upscale dinner! read more

Since they hired a new chef, we decided to give it another try and based on some of the rave reviews,I was hoping for the best. Now I don't understand them. Sadly, we were once again extremely disappointed. Two of the three entrees we ordered were sub par. One good steak, one very grizzly steak (both came with salads that neither of us liked enough to eat) and a third dish that was inedible - a meat based dish that was sweet and greasy. Last year we gave it 3 tries. The first was quite good - a special menu, so we decided to try it again. It was terrible. Both dishes were inediblely salty. But since the first meal was so good, we thought maybe a fluke? Again though, awful and we never went back until this current meal. Now, we will NEVER go there again. Not only was the food bad, the place is so pretentious. The most ridiculous thing is the Mickey Mouse white glove service! Really??!! I will say that the bartender, Sam, and the servers were very nice. The star was earned by them. The manager however was really unpleasant and quite rude. Do NOT waste your money there. Go to Bosq, CacheCache, Clark's, Kenichi, White House as well as others that are worthy! read more

Amazing. Just a beautiful experience on all levels. We had the tasting menu and enjoyed every dish and the entire evening. Best food in town right now. What a gem. read more

Wow. What a fantastic meal we had at Parc last night. This is an exceptional restaurant. We had a truly memorable meal for my wife's 50th birthday. Fabulous food, fantastic service and a superb atmosphere. Really outstanding. Raine was a cool server. She's awesome. That chef deserves a kiss. The steak was delicious, melt in your mouth. The steak tartare starter was out of this world good. The way they present the "fries" was fantastic. The sommelier Alexandra gave us delicious and interesting recommendations within our budget and taste preferences. The wine service was special. I really think this place deserves some recognition from Michelin, it's that good. We will be back very soon. Thank you everyone at Parc Aspen. read more

Always good. Lately the soups have been wonderful! The bar menu is ok but could use some additions

This place is pretty new, but I would definitely recommend that you try it out. It's not that the food blew me away, but everything was really good and it was hard to pick a favorite. I guess the pumpkin crème Brûlé was the most interesting, but probably seasonal. I think I have to hand it to them because it was fairly easy to get in, and even though it was their last day of service before closing for the off-season, they were extremely kind and attentive. Which is a pretty impressive because they probably wanted to get out of there. Overall, very much obsessed with their craft, so I recommend that you try it. read more

We went for cocktails & apps. Husband ordered 1 Macklowe Manhattan & Elk Carpaccio. Husband fell violently ill shortly after leaving with food poisoning, dry-heaving for hours, all night. Husband was perfectly fine all day. Terrible service. Ruined our weekend. Wish we could give ZERO Stars. read more

Fabulous food, exceptional service and a superb atmosphere. The kitchen staff are doing an outstanding job. The temperature of the food was perfect! read more

My husband and I recently took a trip to Aspen to celebrate my finishing chemo and my birthday, and we made a reservation at PARC to commemorate the occasion. Everything about the evening was perfect! The restaurant is romantic, and everyone we interacted with was so friendly. Our server and the sommelier were both very knowledgeable about the food and wine, and the owner was walking g around the restaurant, checking in on all of the guests. We started with the bread board, which had sourdough and the most incredible Asiago rolls, along with perfectly seasoned butter. My husband had the wagyu (perfectly done!) and I branched out to try the smoked elk loin, which was delicious. We finished with an earl grey crème brûlée, which was legitimately the best crème brûlée either of us have ever had! All in all, it was an impeccable experience and meal, and I absolutely recommend PARC! read more

Let's be real...everything in Aspen is overpriced...it's a high-end tourist destination... And so as a tourist, we were recommended to try this restaurant. It was amazing!!! Overpriced- yes, a bit! But definitely worth it!! Our table of 5 friends were able to easily make a reservation on a weeknight, the day of. We were seated promptly inside by the friendliest hosts. Service: Prompt & extremely attentive. Everyone gave the greatest recommendations. Ambiance: Chic yet casual Food: - Mushroom & Polenta: This was light and airy and indescribable- a must try!! - Bread Board: Crisp, fresh, and tasty! - Elk Carpaccio: Yummm - Pasta of the Day: The pasta pieces were placed on bone marrow and it was amazing!! So much flavor and the pasta was perfectly made al dente. - Beef/Steak Special: Cooked to order and tender! - Aspen Donuts: This is the best dessert!! Shareable for our group of 5 and we were left stuffed!! You need to get this!!! Overall, this place is phenomenal. Don't think about trying it, just come! You will not be disappointed. read more

The best food, ambiance, and service we had in Aspen over the 4th of July weekend. Everyone was attentive, and great service, coursed out the way we asked, just a really relaxing atmosphere both inside and outside on the patio. We had ceviche, ricotta anolini, and beef tenderloin. All were really well executed, plated and the flavors were great. Bonus points, they had doggie treats and we took a few back for our pup, she was over the moon! read more

I don't usually yelp but had to for this restaurant! Everything was incredible: the food, ambiance, and the service. The owner was so nice and attentive to the restaurant the whole night. We got the Mushrooms and Polenta and the Baby Lettuces to start which was so unique and amazing. Then we got the salmon and steak with a side of fries. Highly recommend! Beautiful restaurant! read more

Great steak, although ordered it medium rare like my friend and hers was rare, mine was medium well, ate in the bar where it's open seating and had amazing service. The wine by the glass options were overpriced IMO. read more

Another OUTSTANDING meal and service at Parc tonight - the bread!!! Coq Au Vin - delish! Potato's - OMG unique a s amazing! Beet Salad - delicious! Haricot Vert - perfect! Service - terrific, SUMMARY: A+++ - maybe the best restaurant in Aspen!!!! read more

January Saturday night and it was crowded by 7pm. Service was good. Interior decoration was very well done. Prices are standard for Aspen. Smaller food selection and the mains were all okay. The best at our table was the ~$79 beef tenderloin. Sides were excellent and the accompaniments to entrees also good. I don't think we will go back but worth going one time. read more

EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT!!!! From the second we walked in to the moment we left, it was a phenomenal experience. The staff were so friendly and attentive. Our server, Boris, was exceptional and he made us feel special. All of the dishes were well thought out and complex. For cocktails, we both had the Woody Creek Distillers 8 year bourbon. We were told the owners chose it themselves and it was very tasty. Dining, we started with the Foie Gras and Root Vegetable Salad. Next, I had the Bourbon Smoked Elk Loin and my wife had the Seared Sea Scallops. I will say, the only underwhelming point in the evening was when the cover on the smoked elk was raised, it was done so in a way that had me thinking smoke was underneath and going to escape as it was lifted. This was not the case and there was no smoke. However, the flavor of the meat was very good and the whole dish paired well. My wife loved the scallops as well. We enjoyed an expresso and the donut desert at the end. The donuts were fun and nicely done. We appreciate all that must be done to experience such an exceptional meal and we look forward to going back on our next trip to Aspen. read more

Everything Parc does is absolutely phenomenal. The service is next level, the management, ownership, Decor, ambiance, and of course the food. You can tell how much love and care goes into everything they do here. Easily one of the best restaurants in all of Aspen! read more

Yes, please and thank you! Fantastic restaurant (our favorite out of all the well-respected restaurants we dined at during our visit to Aspen in March). So good, in fact, that we had to go twice! All aspects upon which a dining experience is rated (food, wait and bus service, ambience and front-of-house staff) would receive a 10 out of 10. A heartfelt appreciation for Executive Chef Mark Connell's menu, which is as delicious and beautiful as it is original. Note to all future diners: you must order the French Fries! Delicate layer upon layer of shaved potato and other ingredients that create a one-of-a-kind, never experienced before, transcendent (yes, I said it, transcendent) experience. Co-owner Maryanne Sefton, Assistant General Manager Carlos Valenzuela and the exceptional wait and bus staff all work seamlessly together to create a world-class dining experience. PARC Aspen is now a "must visit" for us when in Aspen (and I highly recommend it to both visitors and locals alike). I am not one to photograph my food (I prefer to dine "in the moment" but I can assure you, while all dishes (on both nights we visited) were beautifully presented, a cellphone photo would simply not do them justice. Let's just say they're as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside. ;) Thanks to everyone at PARC Aspen for two fabulous meals! We look forward to our next visit to Aspen and to seeing all of you again soon! read more

It is Aspen's winner for best restaurant! We enjoyed the welcoming hostess, beautiful atmosphere, interesting wines by the glass, quality of food, and service by waiter Thomass! What a special treat for us..we're locals and have tried them all from time to time, but Parc Aspen is our first choice recommendation for a special and delicious dinner in Aspen from start to finish! read more

Go! We have dined in so many Aspen restaurants and this is our fave. The bar good is yummy too. Get the Aspen donuts! Loved the decor which is so warm and comfy with lots of class. Beautiful. Can't wait to go back. :) Super friendly staff!!!!!! read more

Over priced and slow service for new years eve. Took forever to get food and way too expensive for the amount and quality of food. Maybe it was the typical new years eve experience but overall very disappointing. read more

A perfect dining experience. One of our two favorite restaurants ever in Aspen. We are regulars in Aspen - generally spend around 3-4 weeks a year here. Out of every restaurant we have been to, I would keep coming back to Parc Aspen over and over. We went here to celebrate my kid's birthday and our 3-generational family sat in the bar area. Every single person wished my kid a happy birthday at some point and made her feel like a rock-star. The owner even came by a couple of times to wish her a happy birthday and to make sure everything was great. The restaurant is elegantly decorated. It is a warm and inviting ambiance , elegant without pretentiousness. Every detail is perfect. The food and service was also exceptional. The chef worked under Thomas Keller and it showed. We chose several items from both the bar and restaurant menu and every single thing as both beautiful and delicious. Every item was perfectly executed. Some of our food highlights. My kids (yes kids) LOVED the beet salad. The kitchen sink pizza was sooo good. The pappardelle bolognese rivaled the best we have had in Italy. The steak was absolutely perfect, but the star on that perfectly cooked dish was the layered potatoes. We also loved the great selection of local beers. We also sincerely appreciated the hand-written birthday card from the owner. My kiddo proudly has the note displayed as a beautiful reminds of our memorable and exceptional dining experience. The entire staff was very friendly, but not intrusive, attentive, but not over-bearing. We highly recommend this restaurant for an incredible, memorable, fun dining experience. Can't wait to return. read more

Honestly. One of the best meals of my life. It was incredible. MUST try. I highly recommend the bar menu, and strive to sit in a cozy booth.

Steak and frites are amazing. Love the bar area as well as Craig and Kelci. Such a good time.

Delicious! Simply the best ! My go to stop ! Love it here !! Good food , people and atmosphere.

Very dish was excellent and the service was impeccable. The prices are on the higher end but worth it for a splurge.

Excellent addition to the dining scene in Aspen - refreshing to have a locally owned establishment, serving locally sourced, thoughtfully made food. Fast, attentive and friendly service staff. You feel as though you've stepped into someone's living room - very inviting! read more

Very good meal! Spent a week in aspen and enjoyed my dinner at PARC more than Catch, Bosq, Jerome, and especially Casa D'Angelo (gave me a well done steak when I order medium rare) Only misses on the menu are the elk carpaccio and truffle fries - everything else is top notch read more

Very high end dining experience which was amazing all around. It was expensive including the incredible wine list but the food, atmosphere and service exceeded all expectations. We loved the casual, friendly service which was also spot on. cocktails were strong and delicious. The wine Jeff the sommelier recommended was sensational, and the food preparation was not only absolutely delicious but beautifully and artistically presented. (on the tomato salad, olive oil was presented in hand made crystal, edible balls. Brilliant!) truly Michelin worthy. We will be back! read more

This place was excellent! The salmon was the best salmon dish I've ever had. Highly recommend this place!

I would give this restaurant a 10 in ambiance. The food was very good, as was the service but the menu is limited and ridiculously overpriced, especially the wines. Will not return. Sorry. read more

Had another fantastic and amazing dinner at Parc. Have been twice in the past month and both times were great with the second experience being better than the first. From the fresh baked bread to the main entree, all wonderful. Service was exceptional. I look forward to the next time. Thank you for a great night with Tomas as our server. Appreciate it. read more

Food was fantastic, everyone who worked there was lovely. Great local spot - a place town needs. Beautiful space. Will be back!

Such a great space and wonderful service. The food was amazing and will bring me back. Wine service was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend! read more

Food is amazing. Service is a joke. 2 hours before we got our main course. Restaurant was a third full. Staff kept saying kitchen backed up. LIE. They could have owned it by taking something off the check. $150 per person. NEVER GO BACK. my bet is they are out of business before year end. STAY AWAY. read more
