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.

Hi Darlynn, Thank you for taking the time to leave us with this feedback. Our chicken sandwich is a local favorite, and we have team members that spend over a decade in Nashville that worked hard to ensure we could bring that flavor of Nashville hot chicken to Aspen. We're so happy to hear about this experience and can't wait to welcome you and your party back in soon! Best, The Boat Tow Crew

The food we had was amazing, the service was so friendly and attentive, the inside of the restaurant is a 10/10, but the music did not fit the vibe and I think that is the one thing that would make this place even better.
