Complementary bread, large spring rolls and a salad before dinner were very filling! We thought the portions were great so really the concerns posted led us to over order. We took a mousse to go and it was served with blueberries and toasted almonds and was delicious! This is a great find in Aspen. Updated from previous review on 2022 03 06

That in itself makes it interesting, and I think it would be beautiful to visit in the summer and sit outside on the rooftop. The place was cool, and service was nice, but the food was... interesting. Some of the dishes were just a bit off. Still tasty, but not a home run. I like that they have a lot of vegan dishes, so I'd likely give them another try next time we're in Aspen. Dishes tried: Kale Crunchies with cashew crust. There was a lot of crust. And then, apple butter on top. Aesthetically not the best choice. Also, I like the idea of a sauce, but apple butter is too thick and didn't complement how dry and crunchy the kale was. Maybe it could be fixed by adding more kale, or instead a peanut sauce would have worked better Thai Butternut Squash Soup (pumpkin seeds, pom syrup). This was a little spicy and actually really nice. Mango Spring Rolls (carrots, mango, avocado, mint, cucumber, lettuce, curried peanut sauce). I was hoping for the mango to add more flavor, but the flavor didn't really come through as I was hoping. These were similar to most spring rolls, meaning that I liked them but they weren't too special Lemongrass Tofu (forbidden rice, napa cabbage, broccoli, roasted peppers, cremini mushrooms, squash, cilantro, tamari carrot ginger sauce). The vegetables were good, the mushroom added a lot of flavor, but the tofu/rice were too dry for my taste Complimentary bread and pesto. This and the soup were both great.

It's a good choice if you don't mind spending a lot of money for your meal and want the restaurant experience. My husband and I just wanted to have a meal at a vegan friendly place after snowboarding for a few hours. For us it was a 3 star experience because the portions were small, food was expensive and there were no appetizing options for a meat eater. The Lemongrass Tofu that I ordered was very delicious, but again, not worth the $15 for that small portion. Staff was friendly and professional. My water got refilled at least 5 times. I'm very thankful for the waiter being so attentive since I was very thirsty after snowboarding. :D

Great menu and great wines. Even my non veg friends ate the vegan dishes and were all very impressed. I think they finally understood you don't have to sacrifice flavor for health.
