Food was great. Cool restaurant. Service and coursing of meal were abysmal — 30+ minutes to get a half dozen oysters, first courses brought out with main, empty wine bottle for what seemed like eternity before we had to flag down the server to order another.

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.
