I heard the restaurant was known for their spirits and that they had a plethora of wild cocktails to order. I ordered one called the love potion or something like that. It was the most basic cocktail I had during my Aspen experience. The salmon crudo was delicious as was as the Barolo red wine. I could go very detailed of our experience, but to the heart of it- we ordered the brussels sprouts, a fish dish, and a brand new ricotta gnudi dish with lobster tail. I am a big fan of lobster and looked forward to having those chunks of lobster meat in my dish. When we received the dish I immediately went to the lobster tail and took a bite. It had the c...
