Aspen Restaurant and Bar Restaurant Review:


Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the room in sunlight during the day, illuminating an inviting dining area equipped with a fireplace and granite bar. A staircase marked by cascading leaves enclosed in glass leads to the Amber Lounge, where the bar of natural mahogany, leather banquettes and a décor of brick reds and dark browns complement the dining room. The seasonal New American menu includes starters like braised short ribs and escargots. Main courses range from a seared magret duck breast to a Montreal hanger steak. Desserts, too, showcase the season's bounty: the lemon curd tart and the warm peaches with vanilla cream bread pudding take the best yields from the harvest. The reasonably priced wine list consists of varietals that pair well with the menu.
