We found this place during a leg stretch stop on a recent road trip. Happy hour on a Saturday? Yes please! We were able to sit outside and enjoy some cool CO weather while we had drinks and a snacks. Happy hour so basic drinks for $10 and apps about the same price. Food was favorable and we didn't have to wait long. Staff was attentive and service was friendly. Great spot for a quick pop in! read more

Charming Mediterranean restaurant with a warm, intimate atmosphere. The lamb dishes and mezze plates were delicious and full of flavor. Service was attentive and thoughtful throughout the meal. A great choice for a relaxed but memorable dinner. read more

Came here for a banquet style dinner. The service was good the waitstaff was very attentive my wine glass was always full. I had the fish in the bag and I highly recommend it. It was very light but moist and flavorful. The desserts were ok not bad nothing amazing fairy standard items. The ambiance was ok the seating comfortable and it was not too loud so conversations were easy to have. The only negative is that I felt like the dining room was too warm. read more

The dim lights and quiet atmosphere was the perfect group dinner setting. We had such casual dinners before, but it was so great to be at a wonderful nice restaurant. Our waiter rocked & the old fashioneds were amazing. Every dish was SO good!! The pasta was spicy and flavorful, the duck was moist and delicious. The mashed potatoes were so great. Highly recommend! read more

The best aspect of the restaurant is its ambiance and overall environment. However, the food we ordered was underwhelming, with nothing particularly standing out. Additionally, the restaurant felt oddly empty compared to other dining spots in Aspen. read more

Lousy service, overpriced for underwhelming service, bitchy altitude, mediocre oily food, pets not allowed even outdoors, so many incredible options in the area no idea why anyone goes to this place read more

It's a fun restaurant to go in the evening. The bar seatings made it really easy and the bartenders were very quick. Food was pretty decent, prices were okay, not too overpriced like most places in Aspen. read more

Ambiance was cozy and classy, service was attentive and kind, and food was absolutely spectacular. We had the fig salad, kale salad, cavatelli, and halibut - 10/10. read more

The Wild Fig - Mediterranean Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

We had a reservation for 4 on a Monday night and were getting together with my brother and wife who live in Aspen. They wanted to join us for dinner because they hadn't been to The Wild Fig in a while. We arrived for our 7:45 reservation and were seated immediately at our table in the patio. Bustling and lots of energy when we sat down. It took a few minutes for our server to arrive and take our drink orders and then we never saw him again. We were forgotten. In Aspen. How does that happen?! The full dinner order was placed all at the same time because that's how they do things here so we happily placed our apps and entrees and waited for the food to arrive. The couple next to us were seated after us and their apps arrived, then their entrees and we hadn't seen a thing beyond our drinks. Finally the apps arrived 30-40 min after they were ordered. It's now 8:45-9pm a full hour after we arrived to the restaurant. Sometime shortly After 9 another gentlemen arrives to confirm what our order was for dinner. It wasn't difficult. We ordered everything at the same time as requested by the serving staff. So we repeated our orders, 2 risotto specials and a filet and the whole fish special. All high end entrees. Guess what?? 9:30pm rolls around and still nothing. The patio has now cleared out and only 2 tables remain. I'm finally sick of waiting and completely frustrated so I head in to speak with the GM and she's very apologetic and rushes into the kitchen to find out what's happening. She assures me the food will be out immediately and our table is being served next. So as we anticipate the server heading out with an armload of food must be coming to our table he make a b-line for the only other remaining table on the patio and at that very moment we were DONE. I headed back into the restaurant to tell GM we were done and leaving. We would have just walked out but I wanted her to know how disappointed we were with the service and staff there. A very disappointing experience for what is supposed to be a high end dining experience in downtown Aspen. Don't do it folks. I will scream to the mountain top to avoid this place. We were about to spend 600-800 for dinner at least and were treated with such disregard I don't want anyone to deal with that especially for an occasion like visiting family and celebrating a milestone. Never again. I understand they are also part of a prominent restaurant group in town including The Monarch and a number of other restaurants. Not sure I would visit any of them after this experience. My brother who lives in Aspen has already begun to reach out to all his local friends about this awful experience. He couldn't believe how bad it was. Neither could we. Ended up at Hotel Jerome for dinner and drinks to end the night and salvage our experience. Stay away from The Wild Fig. read more

We had a wonderful meal at The Wild Fig. We had the Greek salad to start then my wife had the Lobster Ravioli and I had the Risoto with Halibut. Both were fantastic. We finished it off with the Chocolate Ganache which was spectacular. I would have given the restaurant a 4.5 if I could due to the service (good, not 5-star). And it's Aspen so you will pay top dollar for it but the meal was worth it. read more

If you want the ambiance of 1970s East Germany, this is the place for you. The head bartender (on duty 2/21/25 at 7 pm) thinks it his duty to police private conversations between a husband and wife. Political opinions are verboten! If that is restaurant policy, it should be advertised as such. After all, this is the United States, where most people assume that they can freely express themselves in private conversation in a public place. In short, the service was horrible. The food mediocre. I will never set foot in the place again. Message to management: If it is your policy to constrain the civilized speech of your patrons, post that policy for all to see. If it is not your policy, but it is the personal preference of your bartender, you probably should have a word with him. read more

Dined here a few days ago and we were a group of five. I got lucky (or so I thought) when someone cancelled and we could make a reservation here for the same day. Everything here is pretty alright - the bread, drinks, foods and overall dining experience. The house made pasta was more al dante than soft like the usual house made pasta I've had before on numerous occasions. The lobster risotto was good- I dint enjoy it as much but my husband and mom sure did. The tiramisu was soo underwhelming, the creamy part of the tiramisu was runny - I make a better tiramisu at home! Also, the lamb rack we ordered - our server did not ask how rare or well done we want it - the lamb was extra rare! Do not appreciate. Overall, our dining experience was underwhelming and expensive. Tables are very close by and the music is loud. I will not come back and I do not recommend. read more

Probably the worst meal I have ever had in aspen. Been coming for 10 years, and the restaurant scene is fantastic don't waste your time here Was told lobster risotto was the special, came out as trout. Took 30 min to get my son lemonade and had to ask three times for it. Fondu was cold, mushrooms weren't cooked Food overall was terrible. It was a step up from Applebees at best and the service was worse These guys are clueless Food was horrible Food service and Ambiance were terrible Should have stayed closed read more

We absolutely loved our Father's Day dinner at The Wild Fig thanks to Jerome. He isn't just a seasoned som, he shared stories from his own wine journey that made each recommendation feel personal and excellently timed. His passion and warm energy made us feel right at home and elevated the whole evening. Jerome definitely loves what he does, and we'll 100% be talking about this night for a long time to come! read more

Living up to the Aspen dining experience! Superb dishes and service. This has been my favorite dining experience in Aspen and comparable to many great dining experiences that I've had in Europe and many big U.S. cities. All the dishes were amazing, but I must highlight the Nightly Risotto which was accompanied with lobster and deep sea scallops. The scallops tasted fresh and were cooked perfectly. Service- besides our main server, Hunter, who was fantastic, there was always someone coming to check-in on us and making sure our glasses were filled. The staff are professional and friendly which adds to the overall dining experience. One of my favorite finds on the menu was the Kopke port! This is the oldest port house! This is the first time I've seen this on the menu so it definitely was exciting to see. I was lucky to try the Kopke reserves in Porto, Portugal a couple of years ago and really enjoyed this port. If I lived in Aspen, I would make this my go to place! read more

Come right out of the gates and say it up front... Not the cheap solution. $300 for two of us. But it's Aspen; Chris is not what it's known for. Got that out of the way. Food and service were spectacular. Had beef and lamb. Cooked perfectly. Demi glace for the lamb was a little saltier than I prefer, but still fantastic. Herb crust on the lamb... Amazing. Steak was as tender as any I've ever had. Waiter could not have been better. A little loud once all the tables filled up. What are you going to do? Worthy. read more

I have never taken my time to write a negative review. However, this review is warrented. The service was horrific. Maybe because it's the end of the season? Food was average at best. Too many other amazing resturants in Aspen. Never will i go back! read more

Great Christmas Eve dinner. Place is small, so make reservations. Sommelier very helpful to select a nice bottle of wine. We had muscles appetizer. It was delicious. Also had the special grilled fish on lobster risotto. The lobster risotto was amazing but the fish a little on the overcooked side. They were pretty accommodating with the kids optiOverall a great meal. read more

The Wild Fig was good but not incredible. Perhaps I was swayed by the fact that I had heard such great things going into the meal, but the food ultimately underperformed. The French onion soup was good, but not so much better than other French onion soup in Aspen. The Greek salad is good but again nothing incredible. My "fish in a bag" was dry and the sides were nothing to write home about. The restaurant ambiance is a strength, but the food didn't stand out. read more

The food and the atmosphere was amazing last night. We were served by Sam and Steve who were on point last night. We had the risotto of the night, which was leak and ruby red trout, and the whole fish of the day (grilled branzino). I appreciate the chef responsible for making risotto because it tasted great. The branzino had a nice crisp skin and the sauce beneath paired well. If one goes here try the fondue for the table as it can easily feed 4 as an appetizer. read more

Well, the food was very good. The ambience was not. Upon walking in during winter season, you are greeted by a coat check and it is not optional... It was a super offputting experience because I didn't want to give the code check person my coat. I wasn't carrying a bag and everything was in the pockets and I just wanted to have it with me and she basically told me I wasn't allowed inside unless I checked my coat. In this process she also was sort of like do you have a reservation basically not letting me continue to walk into the restaurant unless I had one. (Which I did). So it was just a very rude and awkward encounter. I get that place is small and that it makes sense for them to check coats but I don't think that you should be forcing us to check your coat and it was such an off putting experience that it really made that dinner less desirable. Also, the coat literally fits on the chair. There's no reason that they need to take it. Not to mention that I ordered a drink that had clarified juice in it, but they didn't have that which I would've preferred to know because that was actually the reason that I ordered a drink and when they brought it to the table they just said oh sorry, we don't have one of the ingredients. Aspen has great fine dining and I probably wouldn't go back to this place compared to the other options. read more

When in Aspen we definitely recommend The Wild Fig. Centrally located, outstanding selection of menu items plus specials of the day. My choice was the Spanish Seafood Stew. Mildly, just right spice, with a wonderful selection of seafood. Not to mention super wine list! read more

We had an excellent dinner here. My daughter had the lobster ravioli and I had the risotto special which was lobster risotto topped with red snapper, finished our meal with espresso and cheesecake. Everything was on point in a lovely setting, with excellent service. Highly recommend. read more

The Wild Fig - Risotto special - Mediterranean Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

This restaurant will capture your heart and taste buds. This scrumptious little hole in the wall comes alive at night. We managed to somehow get a perfect table for two on the patio for dinner without a reservation. I recommend calling in advance because this place is quite popular. The atmosphere is as fun as the Kemo Sabe hats on the heads of the guests who enter here. We tried their fish special with lobster risotto and the coconut curry mussels appetizer. Our meal was flavorful, colorful and delicious. I was quite literally licking my plate after savoring each bite. The mussels made me reminisce on flavors of Southeast Asia. The coconut curry broth is light, mild and delicious. The lobster risotto reminded me of home - the east coast of Boston, where I took fresh fish and lobster for granted. I, of course, asked for mayo on the side to dip my fries. TIP: Sick of ketchup? Dip your French fries in mayo. You will NOT be disappointed. So fattening but so yum. You only live once. I also tried their Strawberry Rhubarb Gin cocktail. Not a fan of gin? You will be after one sip of this sweet treat.

Made a decision to check the Wild Fig after viewing their online menu, many items looked delicious unfortunately we couldn't try all of them but we tried our best! We got the grilled octopus, pil pil shrimp, pappardelle, lobster ravioli and the seafood stew. The grilled octopus was my least favorite, it was chewy. The lobster ravioli was my favorite although its portion is more of an appetizer rather than a main dish. You get five ravioli with a piece of lobster. The seafood stew was filling and great for the cold weather. Pappardelle was great as well. There was no one dish that made the "wow" list hence the 4 stars rather than 5. My ratings: Grilled octopus: 7/10 Pil pil shrimp: 8/10 Lobster ravioli: 8.5/10 Pappardelle: 8/10 Seafood stew: 8.5/10 read more

We are one-timers, so this review is not comprehensive. This is a very small venue, and they have optimized their space by cleverly fitting a maximum number of tables into an attractive, intimate setting. The roast chicken dish that we split was quite good and served in a bowl with mixed veggies and the gravy from the roasting. It was good enough that I asked for a spoon to take full advantage of it. The main contribution I can make to the reader, however, is to advise asking for a table that is not in the main path of kitchen traffic, because during the meal my wife and the gentleman at the next table were jostled by passing traffic enough times that they each remarked independently about it, and a waiter offered an apology. read more

The food was great but the staff was terrible. We got "shamed" by a table of elderly patrons, whom we had initially asked to be moved away from, shamed us for "being loud" for having a fun girls night and celebrating a friend's birthday and the manager took their side as their were "friends of the owner". After moving and doing a fun cheers for a glass of wine, we got approached by the manager and told to be quiet due to the complaints from the table we just moved away from. The management was inconsiderate of us being paying guests vs "friends of owners" and didn't account for the birthday girl being hard of hearing and that our group was conversing so that she could understand us. It was very clear that if you aren't "friends of the owners" Then you are nothing to the staff. read more

Delicious dinner!! Went out with my husband and a friend and the food did not disappoint. I will say - the restaurant is small and they really cram you in there but there was a lively ambiance all around. We started with the kale and halloumi salad which was just fine. I don't love kale so that was probably my fault but the halloumi was crisp and salty which was very tasty. We split the french onion soup - one of the best i've had! And i always get french onion soup. It was extra cheesy and the bread was soft and broth was flavorful. We then split the cacio e pepe which was also super good! it was a little watery at first but when it was all mixed together it tasted great! we wanted to go a second time while we were in town but they were booked and i don't think they offer takeout. definitely a place to go for dinner if you're in town! read more

The food and cocktails was delightful! Everything we had was scrumptious. Cocktail wise we got the the Spring Fling, the Wild Fig Mocktail, and the Catch 22..They were all so good! We got the scallops, the steak tartare, and the rissotto.of the day (which was lobster and mahi mahi). Amazingly delicious! Such cute atmosphere. Great service - from the host to the waiter. So kind and welcoming. It was a little cramped inside. And I know it's Aspen but it still feels crazy to pay $32 for 3 scallops. The price is high for the tiny size of the dishes. When you're in a town of outrageous wealth though I don't expect my opinion to matter though haha read more

We sat at the bar and was served by Rebecca who was so sweet and welcoming. We had just come from a cocktail bar where we felt we were unwelcome so it was a complete flip in our experience. I had the mussels and frites which was truly amazing, maybe the best mussels dinner/app I've had. The cavatelli and tuna tartare was delicious also but really, Rebecca and her friendly attitude was what made the dinner! read more

Amazing food. I struck gold when I chose this place randomly to have dinner while on a work trip. Food is great.

The Wild Fig is a great solid restaurant in Aspen. The decor is simple and cozy. I wish we could have eaten outside but the weather was not cooperating. Started with the steak tartare which delicious and very refreshing. All the flavors were perfect and it was a great start to the meal. I opted for the seafood stew. YUM! Lots of mussels, the lobster was a little tough and there were only 2 scallops which was a little bit of a let down. I would come back to The Wild Fig, probably during the summer again with the outdoor seating. read more

Amazing food and even better staff. I forget the name of the bartender who took care of us (she was from the area and had been there awhile) but she made us feel like rockstars while also making sure everyone else also had what they needed. Unique dishes, beautiful atmosphere and great selection of wine and liquor. Definitely recommend. Also, make a reservation - we were barely able to sneak a seat at the bar on a Tuesday in mud season read more

FOOD was great. BUT service was very uncomfortable. My partner and I came here for our anniversary dinner and we wanted to treat ourselves to a quiet, nice dinner. The servers would hover around our table TOO much, pestering us about if we're sharing dishes or not. I understand they have split plate fees, but it was pretty annoying and made us uncomfortable to try each other's food... Food was phenomenal though. I hope they read this review and learn to not be so uptight. read more

We ordered the mussels in coconut curry sauce. My friend really liked it a lot. I'm not the biggest fan of coconut curry but yeah it was pretty tasty! The meat was the right texture. I got the cavatelli pasta. The sausage was flavorful and the sauce tasted like vodka pasta sauce. It was like penne gnocchi type noodles. Very tasty! Parmesan truffle fries were amazing too ($15!)

The worst combination of food and service I have experienced in well over a decade. We were held up to a minimum of 200 pp for our party of 12. The food was poorly prepared-overcooked meat and a scallop dish that was served with cod instead of scallops. The management did not budge on a minimum food requirement that was artificially jacked up because of our size. No other party has a minimum charge. Food ordered did not come and drinks and food were served very disjointedly. Allergies were dealt with in a completely blasé and unconcerned fashion. Terrible experience from soup to nots. DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT. People vaping pot in the restaurant throughout the night. Forced to have at least 200 dollars per person and had to order multiple orders of take out to hit the number. Just awful experience. I have never written a bad review of anyone or anything. This was a rotten time. read more
