Stopped in aspen on our way home for some lunch. Sway didn't have a wait which was great! We sat outside on the patio and it was very nice. We arrived during their happy hour which was a surprise. We ordered a couple of plates to share for the table. The short rib fried rice was my favorite and a close second was the crispy shumai! The happy hour was a very reasonable price and we were all full by the end. If you are in town you should check out Sway!

Vegetarian dumplings
Monali D.

Great service, ambience and excellent food to top it all! Loved the lighting here, really adds to the experience. Their drink menu is excellent, tried their 'same same tonic' which is made with galangal and lime, gin and tonic, best drink I have ever had. Minimalistic but so so good! For the appetizers their vegetarian momos really hit the spot with the sauce it came with. Green curry was so good, not that spicy but really good flavor! The best part was the dessert, jasmine tea pannacotta was the best dessert I have ever had! Subtle flavors of jasmine tea, shaved ice and crispy meringue. I will never forget how special it felt to be devouring this! We had a great time here! Highly recommend this place!

Sway Thai Fusion was recommended by a friend who lives in Woody Creek. She said she had a fantastic experience so of course she wanted her Florida friends to check it out. We arrived and the ambiance was really artsy and earthy. Loved it! (Taurus vibes!) We were seated right away and the seating was roomy and comfy. I loved that their menu was a manageable size and there weren't an astronomical amount of choices. We asked our server, Daniel (who was fantastic btw), for suggestions and we were steered in the right direction! First courses included the appetizer special - salmon miange, and dumplings crispy pork + shrimp * fermented black bean, kewpie mayo, herb salad, red nahm jim. Ohhhh my gosh both of these were so freakin' good I was making all the food noises and couldn't stop! lol The dumplings were covered in crispy shallots and the spicy sauce was whoooo spicy but the flavor--mwah! Couldn't have been better. Those salmon bites were served on bai cha plu (wild pepper leaves I believe) and wow, were they just succulent. The salmon was fatty and rich. The lemongrass was so refreshing. I could have eaten twenty of those things, but I digress. The second courses were the chicken pad Thai and the panang curry with short rib. I say that I've never had a panang curry like what Sway offers. The pad Thai was beautifully prepared. They didn't mail it in. The most commonly ordered Thai dish was definitely given its due respect. But that damn panang curry. It was so unique and earthly! Not the pink/red/creamy typical panang curry I've had in the past. It was a deep brown, almost like mole but with coconut cream added and the meat was juicy and tender. My mouth was overjoyed. Let's get to this dessert though! I want it right now. I think I'll want it everyDAY for the rest of my life. It was a banana mousse brulee. Typically I never get dessert at Thai places b/c they are just wack. Either over sweet or just not my thing ("fried" ice cream, fried banana, etc.) But this dessert was one of the top ten desserts I've had this year so far. I was like a bananas foster creme brulee. It was so freaking good, I wanted to order another one immediately! But I was afraid the Aspen Task Force of Acceptable Social Activites would swoop in and arrest me for big back behavior :( Overall, I was thoroughly pleased and I can't wait to return. I hope Sway can hang in Aspen's highly competitive restaurant scene. I don't drink so I can't speak to the cocktails but the food was spectacular. Thank you Sway, you have my heart! Another review giving it to you straight, no chaser! Enjoy! ;)

In the mood for delicious Thai food in downtown Aspen? Sway Thai Aspen is a must. Excellent service; high quality, fresh ingredients; thoughtfully prepared; central location; upscale & classy feel; not cheap but relatively affordable compared to most options in town; paid parallel street parking during morning/afternoon, evenings free; intimate bar; moderate noise level but lighting was a bit too dark (was hard to see detail of food & the person sitting across from me); overall, great food, service & experience. Highly recommended. Support your local small businesses & restaurants.

Green curry (corn on side)
Anna S.

This place was definitely a food highlight for me during our time in Aspen. Maybe that's because we had only been eating at Italian restaurants up until then, but I really loved my curry at this place. Not sure if my family would agree since they had some complaints about the dishes and service, but overall we had a very enjoyable time. We all agreed that the green curry was the best but that the pad Thai and fried dishes were either too bland or too saucy without flavour. We actually ended up sending almost two full plates back. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed my curry. Maybe I just got lucky and ordered the right thing but I loved my dinner!

White House Tavern is a perfect example of Aspen casual done right…read more The restaurant sits in a charming historic house and has such a warm, relaxed energy -- great music, friendly staff, and a lively atmosphere. The crispy chicken sandwich is honestly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Perfectly crispy, juicy, and balanced with just the right amount of heat. The kale salad and fries were also excellent, and everything came out quickly despite how busy the place was. The service was upbeat and welcoming, and the whole experience felt effortless. If you want a fun, laid-back lunch or dinner in Aspen without sacrificing quality, this is absolutely the place.

This place was very highly recommended amongst all of our friends and relatives that live around…read moreAspen, so we had high hopes. The service was wonderful, we got our food very quickly, and the ambiance was adorable. A little loud but nothing too crazy. The food itself was fine. We ordered the duo dip, French fries, the French dip, and the chicken sandwich. The guac and the other dip were really good and we loved the chips too. The fries are pretty much what you'd expect, except once they got to room temperature they became super hard and not very edible. My husband said the French dip meat was good and tender, pretty good flavor overall. I had the chicken sandwich which was huge! They split the sandwich into three wedges and I could only finish two. I liked the texture of the chicken was nice and I liked the slaw on it, however, the flavor overall was kind of lacking. I would say it was a bit overhyped. Overall, it was a nice experience for a decent price and I'm glad we went. Would we go back? Probably.

We dined on a Monday evening as a party of eight, and the restaurant was nearly empty, with only one other table seated. Despite that, the pacing of the meal was extremely slow. We were there for close to two hours, largely due to how long it took for the food to come out. When the dishes finally arrived, they were brought one at a time instead of together, so by the time everyone had been served, several plates were no longer warm. With such a light dining room, there really wasn't an obvious reason for the delay. It felt less like the kitchen was overwhelmed and more like the focus had shifted away from the guests, which is disappointing in a town where the standard for hospitality is so high. Aspen has no shortage of outstanding restaurants, so consistency in service matters. With stronger management and better attention to timing, this place could be very good -- but as it stands, the experience did not live up to the level the food suggests it should.
