We came to celebrate a birthday. Sat outside on a beautiful day with a nice breeze. We were treated very well at every turn. Descriptions of all food and beverages were accurate. The food was very creative and delicious. The views were unbelievably stunning. If I lived in Aspen, I would be a regular.
