.. I made reservations in advance, so we were able to slide right in to our table. However, I absolutely hated our seating, place right next to this semi-wall space, where the wait staff squeezed behind me and walked back and forth every few SECONDS! It was beyond annoying...and made my dining experience extremely uncomfortable. First of all, the restaurant was small, but chic and nicely appointed...but the layout was WAY too tight, with so many tables squeezed in too closely! In fact, the problem seemed to be too many tables in such a small space. Totally killed the ambiance of the whole place. Truly a shame 'cuz the place was very nicely appointed! Sorry, but minus 1 star right off the bat for the horribly tight seating arrangement. Now, the food. First of all, must mention that the pricing is a bit outlandish. However, I get that this is Aspen...and I know that many restaurants in these parts are priced like this. We ordered this Dragon Roll as an appetizer...and it was really good. However, for a nearly 30-dollar sushi roll, I expected something a bit fancier...and more generous? For our entrees, we ordered the following: Singapore Rice Noodles, Tenderloin Shitake Fried Rice and Thai Basil Free Range Chicken. I ordered the Singapore Rice Noodles...and had major regrets. While delicious, there really wasn't anything special about it whatsoever. Again, for a pricey noodle dish, I expected something MORE. Even a single flower in that basic dish would have helped lol! Same thoughts applied to the other 2 dishes. My husband tried the Thai Basil Free Range Chicken. Again, he thought it was good, but didn't match the pricing. At least I thought that his dish was well presented...unlike mine. My son went for the Tenderloin Shitake Fried Rice...and he actually really liked it (and he's a finicky eater!). Good thing...'cuz this 36-buck fried rice was the most expensive fried rice he's ever had! We finished off with this Mochi Ice Cream (Matcha)...and it turned out to be just 1 Mochi Ice Cream Ball, simply sliced into 4 pieces, and priced at 7 bucks! WOW...I almost felt had lol. I really struggled with the ratings on this one....based on the flavor of the foods, probably a 4 or 5, but the presentation was a 3. Then comes the pricing. If the pricing was more fair, I would have dropped 4 stars. However, we left feeling a bit ripped. I mean, I've had better Singapore Noodles at nearly a third of this price...better presented even! Also 7 bucks for 1 ball of Mochi Ice Cream...simply sliced into 4 pieces, with nothing else added...Really?!? At that point, I thought they deserved 2 stars. Since I'm on a vacation, thought I'd bump it up to 3. Honestly, the best thing I liked about this place was its overhead music. It was very cool...just my vibe. Service was fine...attentive and quick. However, like I mentioned earlier, our seating was so bad, the whole experience was just annoying. Not kidding when I say that the wait staff all walking right behind me the whole damn time!! Everything was just really disappointing (and annoying)...again, just not reflective of its price points. To be frank, I've had a few meals already around Aspen, and I've been underwhelmed with the quality of the foods...especially for its pricing. I don't mind paying 30 bucks for some noodles or fried rice dish if they are actually worth that much...in its stellar quality, presentation, or SOMETHING...but the thing is, I've noticed that with many of these meals, there's just nothing special about them....except for the fact that the prices are pumped up. Well, I haven't given up hopes just yet. A few more stellar restaurant lined up...and I'm just hoping hard they'll be worth it.
