Food was quite good but wow the service was terrible. Our waitress knew nothing about the menu. She had to ask the kitchen at least five different times what was and wasn’t gluten free. I also asked her what entree was best between three options and her response was “well this one is the newest so if you like new get that one.” I had to constantly ask for water. This place could be great the service is far below sub-par.

Let's start with their signature cucumber cocktail, you would think the waitress would ask if we liked it by the state of the drink being left as an adorment on table. Thier salmon ceviche is interesting but interesting doesn't equate to good, but it's edible if you're feeling risky. Their elk steak was nice, unfortunately it arrived luke warm at our table. The artic fish was good but not good enough to warrant a second visit. Unfortunately the tastiest item was the complimentary soap. Is it the worst restaurant in aspen, no but for this price do yourself a favor and select a venue that understands DJs are for night clubs, waiters aren't on a hike, chairs are supposed to be comfortable and the food should be good over experimental.

First of all, make sure your in one of the side rooms. The main dining room is too loud to have a conversation, when busy. Service is very good, but not excellent; ie very little butter for bread, olive oil and balsamic provided 5 to 10 minutes after bread service, and several other little things. I love and get foie gras every where, their presentation is one of the poorest I've had. Hamachi was excellent, but not worth $46. Sea bass was excellent, but small portion with mushy eggplant underneath. Not worth $78. Rack of lamb was good, but rest of plate not so good; not worth $74. Potatoes dauphinois was excellent. Bottom line: it was good, but not excellent, especially for the price

Delicious food and cocktails. Wife and I had a wonderful date here. Nice dj music in the back ground

Betula probably means you can bet on a good night Amazing ambience and one of the places to be seen in Aspen Great DJ some nights I never go there and find a favourite main course unlike other restaurants.
All the food is good but I have just failed to identify a signature dish that I love to go back for
Wine menu is not on the website probably because the prices are some of the dearest of any of the restaurants that we are at. About $100 dearer than others for a $400 plus wine from what I compared on my go to favourites with other premium aspen restaurants

Atmosphere is excellent but service was very slow with very few touches or effort from the server. Food was underwhelming for a place with white table cloths and $60 pork. A great place to wine and dine and be social but underwhelming from a dining experience standpoint.

An elegant restaurant with mediocre food.

Celebrated my finance and I’s 3 year anniversary. The staff was engaged in making sure we felt welcome and valued in their establishment. The food was absolutely amazing and I was very sad when the dinner ended. I wanted to do it all over again! Thank you Betula for wonderful food and memories. The best!

Every dish was an intentional work of art. They clearly care about details in the kitchen. The menu was well organized and thoughtful. I watched the staff stress on perfection, and although I wouldn't say the experience was perfect, the effort filled the gaps. Quality is possible from the top down, and whoever is running this place expects a lot from their staff, and it shows. Absorbing this matters. This restaurant has character which matters as well.

Amazing wine selection and great food with a cool ambiance. How can you beat it.
I wish I had taken a picture of their desert. I have tried one of the best sorbets in my life. From the moment my husband and I stepped into the restaurant to last bite of our meal, everything was perfect. Wine selection could be less expensive . We will be back.
Betula is all show and no go on the food. It’s a great place for drinks, atmosphere and chill EDM. The food is for people who don’t understand what great cooking is all about as it is very mediocre.

This is our first time in Aspen, and we realized quickly that people just aren’t friendly here. The service doesn’t seem to love the tourists, the bike rental companies hate people from certain states, but that was not the impression from the staff at Betula. From the moment we stepped into Betula Aspen, we were greeted warmly and felt right at home. The ambiance was inviting, and the staff’s attentiveness stood out immediately.
We brought our kids to this nice restaurant, and instead of staring us down, the staff went out of their way to make them feel welcome by bringing out cuddly bears for them to play with. This thoughtful gesture made the dining experience enjoyable for the whole family. The service was outstanding, with every detail meticulously taken care of, and the staff’s friendliness and professionalism shone through every interaction.
As for the food, it was nothing short of perfection. I had the Tuna Tataki and Hamachi Crudo, and both dishes were delightful, showcasing fresh ingredients and expert preparation. Every bite was a testament to the chef’s skill and creativity. Betula Aspen provided a dining experience that exceeded our expectations in every way, making our trip to Aspen memorable for all the right reasons. We can’t wait to return!
