Like to place a lot especially because you can get half portions and the food price value is good. It was very noisy and the night I was there.

Fresh fish was well prepared. Steak was top quality and cooked exactly as ordered. Creative drinks and desserts. Same for appetizers. Service was outstanding. Great dining experience.
Sara
Lovely spot, with an amazingly yummy and creative menu, fabulous service and ambiance. And you can shop afterwards! What more does one need?
Diane
We were delighted with our lunch yesterday at Aspen. The clam chowder was delicious, prepared in a well seasoned creamy broth, seasoned perfectly with fresh herbs , combined with the right amount of clams and potatoes. We highly recommend giving this chowder a try. We would say, it is the best in Connecticut! For lunch we had shrimp and fish and chips, both dishes were terrific!
Michael
Food quite good as usual....but waited 20 minutes after salad plates cleared until main course was served! And restaurant not that busy.
Peter
I had a double order of the seared tuna on wontons that is offered as a small plate. The tuna was fresh, and the seasoning was outstanding. My companion had one of the hot plates that seemed to please her greatly. It was affirming, and added to our pleasure, to be recognized by Cate H, one of the world's most knowledgeable, spirited,, and welcoming servers. The room was more densely populated than usual, perhaps because it was a dank weekend and people were drawn to indoor pleasures. But the noise level remained moderate, and the staff went the extra mile to cope with the challenge of extra diners.

We had a party of five. The service & food were excellent. I have eaten here several times over the past 3 years and their food & service has been consistently excellent.
Susan
As usual we had a wonderful early dinner at Aspen. Food was excellent, service was superb . I would highly recommend Aspen for any meal!
Allison
First time in. Very busy and bustling- if not LOUD restaurant which we felt was a good sign. The service was excellent even when I had an issue with the wine it was quickly remedied. The lamb Wellington was outstanding. The create your own entree thing seems to be a bit deceiving. You order a meat and a la carte sides which typically would come separately but here they plop it onto the same plate. The lobster bacon fried rice was a miss. Big up charge for undercooked rice and huge chunks of pork in a super sweet sauce with a bit of overdone lobster. The steak and salmon we had were very good. The crème brulee was also excellent. Overall we will probably give it another try in the future!

Aspen is always wonderful. The food is excellent, as is the service. Most memorable: the sticky toffee pudding, which is no longer on the menu, but they have it - presumably because so many of their customers love it. Also wonderful - all their soups. Aspen never disappoints.
We love out Aspen dinners! Have been going there at least 2x a year to meet up with dear friends who live in Fairfield (we live in RI). The food is always delicious and service is impeccable!
Lucille
Wonderful dinner tonight! Food was delicious as always. Christine was our server again! She's excellent as are the entire wait staff and servers. Put Aspen on your list of great places to dine and enjoy good food! Cheers to the chef!

We lived in this town for 6 years and had never been here. We will definitely go back. Food was outstanding and service was excellent. Only complaint is it's a little dark in the place but that is common in a lot of restaurants now.

Food/ambience was excellent. Only down side was our food took a long time to come out. Waitress told us we got stuck behind a large party they had downstairs. Gave us a coupon for 10% of next visit. This continues to be our favorite spot in the area

Everything was amazing! I've worked in fine dining and you can tell they know what they are doing! The little things that many don't notice at first go a long way and make the experience so much better. The food is insanely good and our server Amy was as well. It was my boyfriend's birthday and it ended up being a great night. If you want a nice night from start to finish for a special occasion, Aspen can deliver!
