The service was very attentive—perhaps a bit loud—but the staff was knowledgeable and attentive to food allergies.

Our appetizers arrived before we even had a chance to take a sip of our cocktails, and although I wanted to enjoy a glass of wine with my meal, I had to wait to place my order, which ended up arriving during dessert. The dining room was mostly empty, so we didn't think we were keeping other guests from enjoying their meals. The food was excellent; we just didn't have the time to truly savor our culinary experience. Overall, it wasn't worth the high price tag.

A DJ has a chill ?dinner set? from 8:30 10:30, and then the place turns into a dance club at 10:30. I highly recommend sitting at the bar and ordering one of their innovative cocktails. Island Queen was a great tikicocktail, and the Moroccan was an amazing bourbon cocktail served in cinnamon smoke. However, skip the food. Too expensive forthe quality/quantity of food. For $20 we got a small salad, and I was still hungry after the $40 pasta.

I have lived in Aspen for about a year and a half and have tried most of the highly recommended restaurants in the area. Many are both overpriced and overrated. This is is NOT the case for 7908. Theservice is fantastic, the cocktails are creative (and DELISH! and the FOOD is a culinary experience not to be missed. Two of myfavorite things on the menu are octopus and the seasonal watermelon salad. If you want expected and very good, ?basic,? choose?the steak house? but if you want creative, unexpected textures, flavors and presentation, 7908 is THE place to find it! A sidenote: 7908 is the elevation of Aspen. Enjoy!
