    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.

    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!

    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!

    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! ;)

    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!

    This has to be my favorite place to come to when I'm passing through Aspen. I stopped off for lunch…read morewith my wife and we shared the slider burgers with fries. OMG, the fries were absolutely amazing. The German style pils that I had were perfect with the food and my wife loved the Independence Pass IPA. Keith the bartender was so friendly and fun to chat it up with. If you are passing through or staying up in Aspen and you want to experience a great time, I would highly recommend coming here, such a great experience for being downtown.

    My friends and I (group of 7) visited Aspen Brewing Co. over Labor day and we will never be coming…read moreback. My boyfriend and I shared a $26 pizza and ended up with a $64 bill. First off, we were met with a cold waitress. It seemed like it was such a chore to take our orders. I asked for a side of ranch for our pizza and she came back with the tiniest sauce container with less than a tablespoon of ranch in it, which I originally thought was fine because I could just ask for more, which I did end up doing. Then, every time my boyfriend's soda was low she would take it and refill it, not specifying that it would cost us for a refill. Then we get our check and I see 2 charges for ranch $2 each and 2 charges for soda $6 each. She never specified that the ranch nor the soda refills would be extra especially since the ranch portion was smaller than a shot glass. Some places charge for ranch which is fine, but they give you enough ranch to justify a charge. Then on top of that there was a 22% gratuity fee already added because we were a group larger than 6. AND on top of that there was a 5% employee wellness fee. Both explain why the waitress didn't need to care about doing a good job because she was already guaranteed a 27% tip. Keep in mind this was all noticed after we got the receipt emailed and had already paid because on the software they use for paying, it didn't show us an itemized receipt. And of course, we could have waived the employee wellness fee but we didn't know that it existed or that we could've waived it until after we paid. Just pay your employees more or up the prices of your menu items to include the "wellness" fee.
