    The food was exceptionally overhyped. Oysters were great! Best I’ve found in any mountain town. Everything else was far below average. Lobster roll was nothing more than store bought lobster for a ridiculous price on a terrible piece of bread. Crab cake was average at best…any steakhouse in town had a better one. Lots of over priced food and lots of fries to make it seem better than it is.

    Always great...we love this place. The grouper is excellent, we love the mussels & clams, and of course the fries...and the coconut sorbet for dessert was the surprise of the night! It was amazing!

    My husband and I go to Clark's whenever we are in Aspen. The food is excellent. The complimentary bread and butter is delicious. We both had the snapper which is a favorite. You need to make a reservation ahead.

    The host/hostess were very welcoming and positive energy. Our server was quick and attentive. We had a dozen of the east coast oysters and they were some of the best we’ve had! The branzino was out of this world! The bartender whipped up a perfect espresso martini and our dinner experience was outstanding! We will Definitely be back! Thank you for a great first visit.

    The ambience is great. Oysters were terrific. Lobster roll was tasty with matchstick fries. The kale (tangy) and cauliflower (spicy) both had very strong flavors.

    We ordered a dozen oysters and they were small and tasteless. Service was ok, but relatively absent when we needed anything. The remaining food was ok, not anything we would return for. Better restaurants in Aspen for sure.

    Things started off great. It was wine Wednesday so 1/2 off bottles of wine. Started with oysters which were good. Next we each had the clam chowder. They should call it potato chowder as the amount of potatoes was ridiculous and there were about 2 clams per bowl. Not ok for the high price. The linguine and clams was delicious. Overall, it was an average experience.
