Monarch - ASPEN

Monarch Rockefeller and the prawn cocktail are my 2 go-to's here. Love them. My bison filet was delicious, side of mushrooms was also fabulous. Dessert was outstanding...chocolate budino or something like that. man was that good.

Really great quality steak, very tasty and tender. Great service, great wine and great surroundings. Only problem steak and sides served warm (not hot).

Great food. Aspen pricy. We had the Caeser salad because of the reviews. It truly is delicious. The steaks were great and we loved our time spent. It was unhurried and that was nice. Great spot for date night.

The sole was good. My lobster tail was just ok, I’ve had better, not very juicy. The drawn butter seemed a little over cooked, turning brown. The mushrooms were fine, not exceptional. The caeser salad was pretty great, except it had too much garlic which kind of ruined anything that came after that and gave problems all night. It was pretty overpriced. Really? $40 for 2 people just for Caesar salad?

Always a wonderful experience. I run a restaurant so am very particular about where I dine when I’m not working. This is always one of my go-to spots and has been for years. One of the most beautiful dining rooms in Aspen and spectacular service. Charles has been our server for past two visits and he’s very attentive and friendly to chat with. We can’t wait for the next date night there
