    The wait staff was amazing. We wanted to share and eat in courses which is exactly what we did. The oysters were fresh, the crab salad was full of crab and the halibut was beautifully cooked along wi the creamy grits. It was my birthday and we were served us a delicious sorbet which cleansed our palates. It was a great meal, it something should be done about the acoustics. It is very noisy for a romantic meal,

    Our first dinner in Aspen was spent at Clark’s. The ambience and aesthetic of the restaurant was fresh and modern while also feeling welcoming. The lighting of the restaurant really made this establishment feel refined and intimate. We had reservations set before we arrived. This trip to Aspen was for our honeymoon and they immediately congratulated us upon arriving. We were sat down shortly after and were met with our kind waitresses. My wife loves oysters and she was very pleased with the quality, presentation, and taste of the oysters she ordered. The main course she ordered was Ciopinno. My main course was Crispy Red Snapper with grits. I can definitely say, that my wife’s main course dish was the star of the night (after the oysters per the wifey). So flavorful but light to the palate due to the fresh seafood used. My Crispy Red Snapper was average at best, it should’ve been better seasoned and cooked. The seasoning on the red snapper tasted just like salt and nothing else while also being slightly overcooked. For the money that is paid for 7-8oz of Red Snapper, it should’ve been better. However, for the entirety of our dining experience and overall food, the food was great and plenty for leftovers. I’d love to come here again to try out another dish or even order myself some Ciopinno next time 😋.

    My wife and I ate here for our one year wedding anniversary-we had more conversation about the beverages and food with the food runner than our actual server. Food was undercooked, with no apologies except, “oh I’ll just take it off your bill”. Very disappointing

    It was extremely dark in the restaurant and you cannot read the menu without your phone. While I appreciate ambiance, it would be nice to read the menu. The food was mediocre at best. Pretty much everything was doused in lemon, all the fish vegetables and salads. A little is expected but it really was overkill. Find a different spice!

    Consistently delicious, high quality food. We ate there twice for dinner and once for lunch during our last weeklong visit to Aspen. Standouts were the oysters, shrimp cocktail, clam chowder, and crispy red snapper dish. It was always busy so we recommend reservations. Our service was good overall—one waitress at our last dinner was a little abrupt, but they were very busy. We will return next year for sure!

    Great option while in Aspen. The interior was atractive and became lively as our 5pm reservation went on. While we felt the food and drinks where a good price value the food was only Ok , not bad but nothing exceptional. We definitly felt by the staff to be rushed but we had to state we are taking our time and enjoyed our 2 hour dinner. This was our first visit and we will try again on our next visit , I think you will enjoy,

    Best cioppino I’ve ever had. Hands down. Even with slightly overcooked swordfish (I think). Excellent flavors of sauce and garlic and good spice. Huge piece of smashed garlic bread rounded out the dish. Wanted to come back the next night. To date, one of my favorite meals.

    We are going to assume a one off as many visits have been wonderful and we will come back but ordered sparkling water and got bottle and told last one, really at 5:30? Both our fish orders were very over cooked and extremely long wait times between courses.
