    Lovely place to eat, and our waiter couldn’t have been nicer or more attentive. Obviously the views will be better once renovation is finished, but the food was delicious as always. It’s a gem of a restaurant.

    I didn’t realize restaurant was under construction. So we were in a makeshift place next door. I wish I knew. I would have picked another venue. Please inform other visitors about the construction.

    This was a perfect place to celebrate our anniversary . We dined inside where large windows enabled us to experience the beauty of the splendid mountain bowl that enveloped the restaurant. Food was excellent. Lexi our server was professional and friendly and provided dessert for our anniversary. We totally enjoyed the evening!

    The view was beautiful but I would say that was about it. Compared to other places to eat in the area, the food was just okay and the drinks were just drinks. The service was less than that making the experience just neutral for us. It wasn't a bad experience but wasn't worth the money you pay either.

    Booked outside on patio, told 'not serving outside'.... (Which I understand: chance of rain... but outside is WHY we booked Plato's.) Others were then seated outside. As others have noted, the service was spotty AT BEST, and I assume this was the case because they appear to be understaffed. Basic service issues required multiple asks, and long periods of time between. LOTS of screaming kids, probably staying at Aspen Meadows, with parents who couldn't be bothered to address it, nor did the restaurant staff. Food: 2 of our party (of four) enjoyed our salads and entrees, 2 did not. One hot entree was served cold. Serving sizes are small. Plato's has been one of our go to's to avoid the madness of the Core, but it's now off my list: a restaurant may survive with marginal food and great service, or great food and marginal service, but not poor service AND average food, particularly at the Aspen price point. SO many other options are a better bang for the proverbial buck. Sad to see one of our favorites decline so................

    We ate at Plato's deck, early evening. Lovely ambiance. This is the best place in Aspen for a quiet meal in a lovely setting. The dining menu meal was excellent but skimpy relative to the pricing. Ordering off the 24 hour menu is more cost effective but less of a dining experience. All told Plato's gets very high marks.

    The food is wonderful, the views are stunning, and the chef was able to accommodate my food allergies. The service was awful. For the price of the food and the label of “fine dining” I shouldn’t have to hunt down my waiter multiple times to ask for water. He didn’t remember we asked for additional drinks and didn’t bring us the appropriate silverware for the dish. It was not busy so I’m not sure what the hold up was for our entire stay but the waiters lack of service dampened our experience.

    The staff here is top notch. I wanted to give it more stars but didn’t really eat that much, and the food and prices need work. I ordered the fried chicken buns. I didn’t like them. They were way to salty and the sauces didn’t go together. The hamburger was really tasty. The Parmesan fries were very dry. I think when you are charging $32 for one breakfast plate, it is excessive. We went into town and got eggs Benedict for 1/2 that. Not much of a variety on the menu.

    We had a DELIGHTFUL dinner. Angelica and Mitch were so attentive and provided excellent service. The highlights of dinner were the elk, salmon, and parsnip soup. We had some amazingly creative mocktails, the view was flawless, and we were the only ones in the restaurant for a good period of the early evening (Thursday night). I genuinely don't know how we could have had a better experience. Highly recommend.

    The service was amazing! We needed up needing to push back our reservation due to traffic putting us there later than expected. The staff was understanding and worked with us. We were there celebrating our honeymoon, and they made the experience such a special occasion. Their food was fantastic and I can not recommend this restaurant enough.
