Food was good. Crab cake was small. Split salad with hubby. Got bill and was charged $4 split fee. Fine. Charge me, but at least tell me up front so I can make an informed decision. Waitress should know better.

This was the highlight of our trip. We ate at Wild Fig (eh), Bosq, Casa D’Angelo (also excellent, more expensive), French Alpine Bistro (lovely), Mi Chola (eh), and Prospect (eh). Prices were wildly reasonable, good wine selection (we love Assyrtiko with seafood and they have it), excellent/knowledgeable service and good ambiance. I had the Chilean sea bass and it was one of the most perfectly cooked fish Ever. Oysters, crudo, linguine with clams and the dessert were all to die for. Of all the places we went, we did not expect this to come out on top! It is a must in Aspen, we wish we ate here every night!

Aspen is full of amazing dining and pricy dining and Clark’s is no different. However, the portion sizes here make this a really good value which is rare. I had the lobster roll and it was huge, found three whole claws in it. The oyster selection was great and super fresh. Cocktails delicious. And the vibe was cozy yet upbeat. Can’t wait to return.

John Dory was too salted and a little overcooked. I am not familiar with the fish so maybe this was a lack of understanding. Server recommend salsa verde but I didn't find that it blended well. Coworker had the red snapper and felt that the tomato sauce was too much/overpowering. Mussles were tasty and bread was excellent. Service was good! Music a bit loud.

I gave it a 3 star on the value, I ordered crab cakes and I got one crab cake pretty small for the price, one once. Overall the food was delicious, the oysters and clam chowder that my children had were good portions and tasty.

We love this restaurant but I think they might be getting over their skis a bit. My crispy red snapper which has always been excellent was mediocre. It was rushed, and you could really tell. The other diners said their food was fair. I hope you guys can maintain the excellent quality we’ve always known.

The cocktails were perfect! Loved the variety of oysters but would definitely stick to East Coast next time. The lobster roll and tuna tasted great! The ambiance was exactly what we hoped for and the almond cake and coffee ended the night perfectly. Could not have asked for better service or tastier food!
