We had dinner, but first sat at the bar, starting with a martini that was excellent—though we had to share one, as the restaurant had run out of Belvedere. That wasn’t the real issue, however. We ordered the beef carpaccio as an appetizer, and it immediately tasted off. I chose not to eat it, but my partner did and unfortunately became very sick later that evening. It was clear the meat wasn’t fresh. On a positive note, the main course was excellent—we really enjoyed the burger. Still, it’s unacceptable for a restaurant of this caliber to serve food that’s past its prime.

The octopus appetizer and fries were delicious. Skip the kale quinoa caesar. The morel dish and French onion soup were also hits.

Right on the side of Aspen Peak. You can watch the gondolas go up and down. Pretty posh. Fries were good.

Fabulous lunch spot in Aspen! The double smashed Wagyu burgers and parmesan truffle fries are worth writing home about. Sitting on the patio was lovely! Service was prompt and warm. Located right at the base of the Silver Queen gondola which we were compelled to do after lunch. Great spot!!
The food was worth the price! We had the burrata & truffle fries, and both dishes were delicious.

It was just a very underwhelming meal. For starters when we arrived it took quite a while for someone to greet us and just give us water. We sat inside and the head bartender was either in a bad mood or just liked to throw bottles around. Every time he finished a bottle, he literally threw it in the container pretty aggressively. At first, we thought it was an accident but it kept occurring. It was annoying. Additionally, we were disappointed in the lack of cleanliness. There was a large group sitting at a table and quite frankly they made a mess. That's not the restaurant's fault but it stayed that way for the hour and a half that we were there, which was kind of gross. Food all over the table and floor.
We had high expectations for this restaurant as our first meal was at element 47 and it was incredible there! Great service, great food so we thought that the Ajax would be the same, but more casual and it certainly was not. It was a three at best. Next time we stay at the Little Nell, we will not go back to Ajax Tavern. Very disappointing.

Nice atmosphere and crowd. Great wine list, salad for vegans okay. Truffle fries are a classic.

A downhill meal! What happened.? We come every year. Steak sandwich poor , steak and frites average , tavern salad soggy, kanpachi had so much sauce didn’t know there was fish. Wagyu bolognese was average. Outdoor dining was beautiful covered with umbrellas on a beautiful night. Why?
When we initially arrived, we were not acknowledged. Nobody greeted us. We did not have reservations. Our first time there. Maybe 7 mins later someone finally greeted us and we were given a choice on where to sit. Thereafter the drinks, appetizer, main dish (salmon & salad) and were excellent. They waiters were friendly and answered most of our questions about the menu. We would go back. We were visiting the area. We sat in shaded patio area and weather was perfect.

French fries are amazing. I had a gluten free bun so that’s the only reason it didn’t taste as great but still good. Great outdoor seating and friendly wait staff. Eggs benedict is awesome!
