I had my first experience at Boat Tow last night and it was amazing! I am crushed it’s going to be closing at the end of August. I wish I’d discovered it sooner. Our server could not have been more gracious and friendly, and the food was delicious. Unfortunately, Aspen is expensive and I’m sorry the operating company, Gravity Haus is unable to continue operating to in our town due to the high cost of doing business. A huge loss.

I am plant based, so was happy to see ONE vegan option in the menu for me and my husband. Would love another choice. I had the mushroom tacos. VERY spicy peppers (for me) and would prefer a corn tortilla option, but overall tasty and healthy(ish) service was excellent.

Great place for easy, informal dinner after having just arrived in Aspen. The lamb bolognese was fantastic and Missy did a very good job of explaining the menu. They have nice Mocktail menu as well.

Fried chicken sandwich was disappointing. Coating was overcooked and covered a very small serving of chicken. Side Caesar salad was kale which should have been noted on the menu. Also the seating by the windows was very chilly.

I really didn’t like my meal sadly. The salad was some underdressed lettuce with a pressed unseasoned chicken breast. I could have made this at home. The food was not good. Everything else was fine, we were just hoping to have a great meal and it wasn’t. And it was pricey.

Our first time at The Boat Tow, and we will definitely return! It was a very cozy and nicely finished space; casual and comfortable, with excellent service, food, and drinks. We are thrilled to have had such a great experience there— Aspen really needs more nice, but casual great quality options!!
