Had a great time the weekend before Thanksgiving. Since it was before the season we were able to get in without issue for lunch, I hear it’s much harder during ski season. I had a great lobster roll that was well worth it. It was stuffed with a bunch of large, Juicy pieces of lobster. Plus the serving of fries was huge. My in laws really enjoyed the mussels and seafood stew. The oyster selection was wide ranging and tasted very fresh. Great spot, highly recommend it if you’re in Aspen and loo...

Clark’s is always a win. Everything was on point: excellent martinis, incredibly fresh oysters, and absolutely delicious pasta. I truly love this place. The atmosphere and consistency usually make it a standout. The only downside this time was the lobster roll. On previous visits it’s been brutal (in the best way), but this time it was just a bit underwhelming. Still, an overall fantastic experience, and I’d happily go back again.

Clark’s is an absolute must every time I’m in Aspen. The atmosphere is lively yet elegant, the service is flawless, and the food is consistently outstanding. From the fresh seafood to the perfectly crafted cocktails, every detail is done right. It’s the kind of place where you come for dinner and end up staying for the energy and the experience. Truly one of Aspen’s gems—already counting down to my next visit! If you want, I can also tailor it to sound more casual, luxury-leaning, or influencer-style for Google or Instagram.

Everything was perfect. Some of the best food I’ve ever had. Very creative dishes…the spicy cauliflower was a surprise hit, and the lobster roll was spot on.
