Element 47

"The name is a nod to Aspen’s origins as a silver mining town, and its location inside the luxurious Little Nell Hotel, mere steps away from the slopes, is certainly glitzy. Enter the sleek, modern dining room through the lounge (with a crackling fireplace in season) and settle in for Chef Matt Zubrod'sapproachable contemporary menu that highlights top-notch ingredients, from seasonal produce like wild mushrooms, to meats like locally raised lamb and wagyu-breed beef. Lighter dishes like salads are thoughtfully composed, and house-made pastas like hazelnut cavatelli with rabbit ragu and fennel will satisfy heartier appetites. Diners will make note of the array of bottles displayed behind glass in the bar area, a telltale sign of the restaurant’s impressive wine program." - Michelin Inspector
