Steak House No. 316 Aspen

It’s really hard to not give 5 🌟to this place. I had one of my best steaks ever so tender and flavorful ( just Slat and Pepper) . Our host was so friendly and helpful and his choice for my steak turned out amazing. Cocktail was what I like ( not too sweet not too strong) . Unfortunately we were so full and couldn’t try dessert 🍮! One of the most go places in Aspen.

Pleased with my husbands birthday dinner at 316. Food was great and service even better. Highly recommend for fancy dine out

Aspen was one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited in my life. During my trip, we visited the Sun Deck restaurant located at the top of the mountain. I passed by several stunning restaurants and cafes with friendly and welcoming staff. However, during the evening, I searched for a restaurant on Google Maps, which recommended one with a seemingly high rating. Unfortunately, the rating displayed on Google Maps was highly misleading. The restaurant turned out to be below average, with mediocre food and unfriendly staff who seemed as though they were forced to serve us. I ordered the “Prime Porterhouse for Two” and requested it to be cooked medium-well. The order took approximately 40 minutes to arrive, and, unfortunately, the steak was not cooked to the requested temperature. I informed the waiter about the issue, and they took the dish back to the kitchen for about 5 minutes before returning it to us. Sadly, the dish was exactly the same and remained unchanged. This prompted me to ask for the bill and leave the restaurant. I paid the full amount for a dish that did not meet my expectations or match my request. This restaurant certainly does not deserve the high rating shown on Google Maps and was the worst experience I had in the otherwise beautiful city of Aspen.

Yikes, run don't walk away from this restaurant. A friend raved about the food, so 3 of us decided to give a whirl on a slow night. We sat at the bar, bartender asked us what we wanted to drink, I requested a gin fizz, and the bartender proceeded to stare at me for a solid 10 seconds without saying a word like I just spat in his cheerios and god forbid I ask him to make a drink that didn't come out of a tap or the bottle. It was uncomfortable to say the least. After the stare down that could have put Gandhi to shame, he proceeded to complain that it was busy and he would have to get someone to get an egg etc. Okay fine, but a simple "no" would have sufficed, instead was made to feel like I was asking for his first born child. He ended up making it, but it wasn't memorable and bar staff took it away before I was finished, go figure. My other friend had a similar experience, with a condensing response. Maybe he didn't know how to make drinks? We planned to eat here for dinner but immediately decided to abort mission. We went across the street the Cache Cache; staff was great and we ended up buying the kitchen and bar staff a round. Moral of the story, sometimes its better to cross the street than to cross the bartender and when the attitude is sour, it's time to find a place with happier hour! 😄

What a disappointment! Tonight I arrived at 7 and was told by the host it would be approximately 30 min for a seat at the bar. I came back in 30 min and was told 10 min by the host. I had forgotten my phone and I let him know I was going to get my phone and that I would be right back. He said that was fine. I returned in 6 min and was told by the host that now there were others in front of me and it would be another hour. What!! No one had gotten up from the bar! Why did he tell he that would be fine if he was going to push me to the back of the line? No apology no nothing! How incredibly rude and inconsiderate! I left and will never be back. When Roy ran the front I never had issues, just exceptional dining.

This steakhouse in Aspen, Colorado, is probably one of the best steakhouses anywhere. The 2 GMs, Brent & Chris, are amazing hosts and the waiter *TONY*, is a "Rock star. Honestly, if I ever orb up a restaurant I'd want them to with me. They are super welcoming THIS IS A MUST TRY STEAKHOUSE THAT I'VE EVER BEEN TO. IF YOU ARE A MEAT LOVER, you must try this place.

Even if you’re just passing through Aspen, stop here! The food was pricy but definitely worth it! Everything that we ordered was fantastic - we even had to get dessert! Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, and fantastic service. Shoutout to our two servers: Alex and Ronald were phenomenal!

This place is AWESOME! Definitely one of the best meals I've ever had at one of the nicest places I've ever been to. The service was outstanding, the most professional service I've personally ever had. Despite the fact that this place is very upscale it's also very inviting and comfortable. There were all kinds of characters in there, cowboys, snowboarders/skiers with hats on, people dressed up, etc. The food was absolutely MAGNIFICENT. I had the Prime New York Strip, it was perfectly medium-rare and had the absolute best crust and flavor. The decor is super cool and interesting. If you're in Aspen this is a MUST. Worth every penny.

Cute little house that's actually a steakhouse. I like the dark mood lighting and interior decor a lot. We had 2-3 servers, which was great, fast, and friendly. Our server recommended the scallops and shrimp bisque. The shrimp bisque and scallops were amazing! I like that the shrimp bisque tasted homemade and had the perfect amount of thickness to it. I can't explain what was all on the scallops appetizer, but it was pretty amazing as well. We were also served some complimentary delicious bread. We got the sea bass and wagyu flat iron steak. Ironically, everything was delicious and the Wagyu steak was just okay. It was not the most tender, but the flavor was still perfect. I like that it was blackened with peppercorn. I ordered a side of truffle bone marrow butter which was fantastic, but the steak itself was good without the truffle butter also. The sea bass was fantastic. It was very buttery and tender. If I had to choose between the Wagyu flat iron and sea bas, I'd choose the sea bass. I recommend coming here and I would definitely come back next time I'm in Aspen.

First off the Maitre d text to try to get us to come an hour early which we did , so we started off badly, then we arrive and he should have sized up we were two large men and put us at a table with more room. He sat us at a table that was crammed in a corner , it was miserably hot and the service was terrible. We eat out fine dining quite often and this experience ranked at the bottom , we went asked if we wanted another cocktail or how the meal was. The servers first the next table were constantly putting their back in our table and people couldn't get by it without hitting me in the back. Really tone deaf. If I were you I'd try other restaurants in Aspen. Thus one is over priced and over spiced.

Will start off with saying this is one of the pricier dinners I've ever had, but will confirm that this place is easily top 3 steakhouses I've been to. Service, ambiance, and food were all 5-stars. Left feeling very satisfied, definitely recommend.

We wanted an upscale meal in Aspen to celebrate Father's Day and Steakhouse 316 was the perfect choice. You first make a reservation via their website one month before your desired date (and secure reservation with a credit card - beware they have a 48hr cancellation policy) or try to get lucky and just show up but we reserved way in advance. Parking is just street parking. It's pay if you park close and free if you dont mind a short 2 block walk. The restaurant is very upscale but if you eat outside on their nice patio it's more low-key. Inside the restaurant the ambiance is the fine-dining dimly lit high end steakhouse. The service was attentive without being obtrusive and out beverages were always full. Everything we ordered was delicious: APPETIZERS Octopus Cafreal appetizer - outstanding! Perfectly cooked with 2 delicious sauces. Jumbo lump crab cakes - super flavorful! Branding iron onion rings - they came prettily presented in a tower and tasted good. Hard to mess up onion rings though. ENTREES 8oz filet mignon - we each ordered it cooked medium rare and it was cooked PERFECTLY We also got the blue cheese crust on top which I highly recommend since it was delicious!! SIDES Potato's Pave - this was their take on scalloped potatoes but it was our least favorite out of everything we ate tonight. It is little cubes of layered fried potatoes with béarnaise sauce on top. I wouldn't order it again... Street Corn - delicious and flavorful. DESSERT Key lime pie - very flavorful and we liked the fresh cut kiwi on top Overall we had an amazing meal and will return!

We had a reservation that we weren't seated for until like 30 mins or so later, due to the people that were seated not wanting to get up. The Lady that checks the coats was friendly welcoming and allowed me to sit under the heat while we waited Kudos to her. The food I ordered well done steak they brought rare. The crab cakes were good. The hostess removed the steak from my order it tasted like I had literally not the cow the flavor was definitely off, the food was warm at best. I wouldn't return or recommend it's a go at your own risk type deal. Just wasn't for me.

The steaks were not cooked as ordered. They were extremely salty, as well as not very warm. Additionally, service was spotty, especially after main courses were served. I would not return. Place is very noisy.

Super cute and small restaurant. Lively bar. Dark lighting. The filet was amazing!! It was cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth. It didn't need any sauce. Loved our server. Did a good job with recs.

I came here on a Saturday with my fiancé and the place was packed! From start to finish, this was a great experience. Let me start off by saying; this place hits the mark on every account. The restaurant itself is located in an old house that was converted into a cozy, rustic place. When you walk through the doors, you are immediately greeted by an inviting, rustic and charming decor. The restaurant has deep red hues, old pictures, and exposed brick all throughout the establishment. We started out with one of their specials, the cured ham, from Spain, paired with manchego cheese. The jamón seemed to melt in your mouth; this was a basic cheese & meat dish, done right! For our entrees, we both ordered the wagyu filet. I topped mine with the Maine lobster tail, while he topped his with the blue cheese crust and peppercorn demi glaze.for sides we ordered the sweet corn, whipped garlic potatoes and sautéed garlic spinach. MY GOODNESS, really is all I can say. Every single bite taken was cherished and enjoyed. The steak melted in our mouths and the sides were impeccable. We were well taken care of all night! I highly recommend this place.

Delicious food, great service and relaxing ambiance ! Second time here and the team knocked it out of the park. Bartender made my drinks top notch !

I went with my family to Steakhouse 316 when on vacation. when I went to the ladies room and sat back down on my chair a nail from the chair had penetrated through my brand new pants and I to my skin. I was bleeding and my pants were totally ruined. I told the manager at the end of the night as I wanted to speak to someone about my pants being ruined and he said they had just recovered some of their chairs and obviously this one had the nail coming through the seat. He could not have been more apologetic. since that time I have called and emailed with the manager who eventually blew me off after saying he would help. Then with the Owner Stacy. one has not replied. so not only did they not reimburse my meal as an I'm sorry, but they have not even reached about about my new pants. they have insurance for these things and have totally ruined them and not once have they tried to make this right. Aspen is a small place and with kind of customer service I would never go back and never recommend it to anyone

Excellent food and service. Best ribeye steak ever - had the "cap cut" special, which has all the decadent marbling, my favorite part. Also the scallops were excellent ( and still awesome the next day) as well as delicious bone marrow/steak tartare and crispy brussels sprouts . Service from Caitlin ( I think? Blonde and super friendly ) was impeccable and took care of us for our anniversary dinner. Will eat here again on our next winter trip.

I would like to start off and say how horrible the food and service is at this restaurent. They do not properly describe items. Our server was horrible and didn't explain the items we asked about correctly. We asked if there was a souffle for desert and he said yes. He brings us a choclate lava cake. Please save yourself the money and experince and dine somewhere else. Ambience is also horrible and the restaurent is extremly cold (I felt like I was in antartica). I asked multiple times to turn the air coditioning off and they said they would but never turned it off. STAY AWAY from this restaurent!!!

Awful!!!!! Do not dine here.... The staff did not know how to explain any of the dishes. We came with the our family. Children ordered filet (full of pepper) We asked for a soufflé brought us a molten cake. Just a bad experience We come from Beverly Hills and have the top notch restaurants. Do not know how they are open....

Fantastic meal, service and ambiance. Will definitely come back on our next vacation to Aspen. Alejandro was an amazing server along with everyone else who assisted our demanding party during the visit.

we worried not made an appt. Thank GOD. they accepted walkedin. This place is very dark insde.. when we out from restaurant, we were supeised cause sunset yet.. Food.. we ordered steak with wine.. Not bad but not that a good..

This restaurant has awesome food and service! We were able to get seating for 2 in their outdoor patio right under their speakers. It was nice because we heard good background music but not too loud where we had to yell to converse. The waitress and drink staff were so nice and attentive, always making sure to refill our waters. The food was so tasty. I got the prime filet medium rare and it was delicious! But you really have to try the appetizers because they're the difference maker in my opinion. I've had good steaks at other steakhouses but the crab cakes were so fresh and delicious. Not a lot of restaurants offer crab cakes and even when they do, it's not as delicious as these. We also had the shishito peppers and it was so good but be careful...my friend happened to eat a couple of the super spicy ones and it hurt her...not in a super bad way but they were spicy! Prices were as expected for the fabulous meal and service.

All three were perfect... Food, service, and ambience!!! This restaurant was highly recommended to us to visit when we went to Aspen!!! It certainly lived up to its recommendation.

Snag a seat at the end of the bar. Snag a glass of wine from Sean and some lovely banter. Order the hamachi crudo, the rib eye and the lobster Mac n cheese. Glorious.

After waiting over an hour for a spot at the bat to open up, I was finally seated. After my entree was served I was told, not asked, to move down a seat. Why wasn't I asked before my meal was served? I should have been asked if I wouldn't mind moving down a spot, which I certainly would have.

Wonderful place to dine! Dark & intimate and I am sure a fabulous place to dine on a date. We came as a family for Easter dinner and we were all enjoying the delicious food!

Gluten Free (Celiac) Steakhouse Closest I've been to a 5 star to date. The Tomahawk Ribeye for two (medium rare) was up there w/ the greats. I'm talking one step under LeBron and MJ. The Flatiron Wagyu was the best on the table, please get that. Ambiance + Staff great as well! Gluten cautious (careful of fries). Fell short of 5 stars because the special steak ($82 ribeye cap) was good but meh. Pricey, but the best dinner I've had in Aspen.

The food was amazing. Could be a steakhouse in Manhattan. Vibe is great - classy but relaxed. Leans toward romantic feel.

Food was amazing and for the most part so was the service. But I was very disappointed to find out that they charged us for refills on ice teas and didn't mention it. The drinks are pretty small and if I'd known I'd be spending $100 on drink I would have gotten something alcoholic.

We had a delicious meal at this beautiful restaurant while celebrating my bday. They have excellent cocktails, steaks and a wonderful key lime pie. The decor is very sexy and loved sitting in the showgirl section!

So...This review for the host..and only for the host... We had a reservation on February 8th at 5 pm for 2 ppl - Celebrating my birthday .( Yes , marked on the reservation) We got there on time Host was busy with regular - favorites ( blonde lady guest 4-6 ) We didn't exist...finally he realized that my friend had a broken arm - so he seated us ...Food Meal Service Alex TOP NOTCH - Then Waiter comes with a message " I am sorry to be the bad guy but the host asked you to finish ".

Excellent service, delicious food also great atmosphere. I definitely recommend if you love steak. For those who do not like steak or would rather eat seafood there are alternatives.

My family of four went to dinner yesterday 8/27/23 and we were told this was the best steak house in Aspen and it is NOT. The service was good, not great, steak was good but overall food was very greasy and overcooked. We ordered potatoes pave and it tasted like burned potatoes with a cheap sauce. We also ordered the veggies and they were swimming in oil???!!! The ambiance is similar to a French restaurant where all the tables are close to each other that you can hear other people's conversations which is not ideal. If you want a good steak restaurant visit "The Monarch" also in Aspen and the food is to die for!

I just ate there on Saturday dec 17th. I ordered the tuna tartar and had food poisoning about 3 hours later. Fever in bed, vomit, and diarrhea. Stay away

My family and I are foodies. All of us agree Outback and Texas Roadhouse have better steak than this place. Our drinks came out tasting like bitter soda water. It took almost 20 minutes for them to fix it and get us drinks. I ordered a chefs cut that I was told would be more tender than the wagyu. It was much tougher. It also had very little seasoning. My wife and son both ordered the wagyu. My son said his was under seasoned. My wife said hers was over-seasoned. When I tasted her steak it was heavily salted. In order to eat it she had to smother it with truffle butter. We also ordered fries and street corn. The fries tasted as they should. However, the street corn was missing powdered chili or chilito but was still good. We ordered carrot cake as a desert and all agreed it still had the taste of cardboard on it. I will never recommend this restaurant to any of my friends. It's overpriced and not worth the experience. Save your money and eat at Outback or Texas Roadhouse 3 times instead.

These people know what they're doing. Ambiance is cozy and intimate, but the food would've tasted amazing anywhere. The prime filet was cooked to perfection, and we couldn't get enough of the sides (the cauliflower gratin and whipped potatoes, in particular). For dessert, we got key lime pie, cheesecake, and chocolate soufflé. This meal was a standout this year in Aspen!

Food is great! Service is great. The ambiance is great. I'll be back again. Perhaps add lobster Mac and cheese to the menu?

We come to this restaurant every year when we are in Aspen. Love the steak, but the foie is to die for. Service is professional. Great wine list as well. Love it!

Absolutely exceptional- Food, wine and services! Everyone was so professional and tried hard to do the best they can. Our server was so wonderful and we wish we remembered his name. Thank you! We appreciate this establishment- such a gem restaurant for Aspen. We had such a great time for our little boy's birthday!

Overpriced salty steak au par with Longhorn restaurant. If you enjoy over seasoned, salty meat. Hard to read the menu with the dim candle light. Tables are right on top of each other hard to get up to use restroom without bumping the person sitting behind you. The only food item I enjoyed was the corn. The carrot cake tasted like cardboard and icing disgusting!! Waiter was more polite and attentive at other tables than ours. Don't recommend!

The manager, Brent, is extremely rude. We are loyal customers and have come here 10+ times on trips to Aspen but will not be back. Our food was good but after spending over $500 it is sad to be treated so poorly. We couldn't even finish eating our dessert as Brent told us it was time to leave (in a very condescending manner) due to people waiting for tables. His delivery was extremely rude and not a way to treat customers. We usually look forward to our Aspen visits and this ruined our evening.

Beautiful steak house with the dark ambiance, red velvet couches and old hollywood pictures. Staff was great, friendly and efficient. Most menu items over priced. For our family of four it almost $600 and we didn't even order apps or dessert. It was nice to spoil our dad's but will experience other dining options next time.

Absolutely wonderful experience and consistently great restaurant and experience! We love sitting at the bar with Clint as our bartender! So relaxed, fun and the food is excellent!

This place is an absolute MUST. We went here and the service was excellent! Our waiter was extremely helpful in his advice for which steaks to order and what sides were good. I ordered the filet and my husband had the NY strip and both were incredible. We had the twice baked potato, French friends, oysters and Brussel sprouts. Everything was so delicious. Our water glasses were never empty and we were regularly checked on. The sommelier helped select the wine and it was perfect. We will definitely come back the next time we are in town.

Racist and argumentative with customers. Served us a rare "tomahawk" when we asked for medium. Took it back then overcooked it to beyond well done. It was too late to eat anywhere else so we ate the food. Server asked how everything was and we gave her the feedback she asked for. She went to get a manager. We DID NOT ask for a manager. The manager flat out accused us of trying to get our meal for free!! We NEVER asked for that. We won't be back. The service and steaks are trash. Of course we were a table of minorities and this is how we were treated.

This restaurant is popular, but I can't recommend it to anyone on any kind of budget. My steak with tax and tip was $85-and that's without a first course, coffee, wine or dessert. So I would figure on spending $400+ for two people, which just doesn't sit well for me. There are other Aspen restaurants where you don't feel like you have to be a millionaire to dine out.

Is was very nice food. Beautiful place, a little bit dark. And the service was great

The food was ok. The service was ok. The reason for only 2 stars is because once we were already seated at our table, the staff made us move seats. Normally not such a big deal but when you have two toddlers who are already situated and the waiter already serving drinks, there should be no movement of tables. Poor business practice.

Excellent meats, amazing desserts, great service. We were there early on a Monday so it wasn't that busy, but would definitely come back.

Well, sorry to be posting this. Steakhouse 316 used to be our favorite restaurant in Aspen. Been going there for years, have recommended it to countless newcomers to Aspen and always have a great dinner. It was for that reason that I booked it for this past Saturday night to celebrate my daughter's 18th birthday and my son's 21st. We saved it for the "special dinner" of the trip. Somehow, the time of our reservation got mixed up. I had it down for 7:30, they had it for 6:30. Oops. It happens. Arrest me. When I arrived, the self important host barked at me "You're AN HOUR LATE!" I was surprised and showed him my calendar event which said 7:30. He (with another snotty host staring me down) condescendingly responded "Well maybe you're from a different state so it has the wrong time." I apologized and asked if there was still a table available. He looked at the screen and snidely said, "uhh in AN HOUR." It was at that point that I'd had enough of being so rudely disrespected, not to mention humiliated in front of my wife and kids on what was supposed to be a celebratory night. We left. The lovely coat attendant (who saw it all and looked like she was cringing) followed us out, attempting to diffuse things and said "Maybe you can try our sister restaurant Monarch Steakhouse?" (PS we have also eaten there many times along with their other restaurant the Wild Fig.) No thanks. Luckily there is Catch Steak now so don't need to return to Steakhouse 000. What a shame. I hope the owners read this. I'm a foodie that frequents great restaurants around the globe (and also an executive at a major Hollywood studio) and trust me, I've seen this movie before. You're the hot place... until you're not. The way you treat your customers matters. I'll be sharing this wherever I can.

The iceberg wedge was so special and yummy! The ribeye was fantastic and the server (Lauren) did a great job of helping us each find the perfect glass of wine to go with dinner. The restaurant is small and reminiscent inside of an old-time steakhouse in a good way. Will return!

We ordered delivery after a full day of skiing so I haven't a review of the ambiance. We ordered a tomahawk, lamb chops, dover sole and an assortment of salads. Everything was cooked perfectly with a blushing center for the lamb and the tomahawk. The sole was exceptional and everything was warm and ready to serve when it arrived. I'll also call out the kale salad, which was unexpectedly tasty.

We had a dinner 2 weeks ago and I waited to write a review. but in my travels I have not been so disappointed in quite some time. restaurant itself is nice and food was good. but service was below all standards to say the least. 2 hour wait for dinner and response from the server was "kitchen overcooked your fish and will be out in 5 min". 45 min later server did not check on our table and when I asked ETA on the food - non chalantly responded " manager checking on it- don't shoot the messenger". another 20min manager brought the food. when I asked what is happened we sitting here over 2 hours his response was " you don't want to eat overcooked fish do you?" dropped the food and left. not even apology. check however arrived super quick. I would expect something- sorry, free desert, but nothing. They need a new manager and attitude adjustment to say the least.

The best steak I have ever had with really really good sides. The wedge salad is a must and the bread pudding for dessert is great way to end a meal. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is very nice !! Always enjoy having dinner there !!

This could have been a delightful dinner, but our interaction with the front of house was awful. This place asks you for a $150 per head guarantee for cancellations or if your entire party is not there within 10 minutes of your reservation. So we showed up on time and waited...and waited...and waited. When we asked about the delay, we were told that the people at our table weren't ready to leave and nothing could be done. No apologies for the delay, and the guy was pretty gruff in his delivery. So we stood for 30 minutes before being seated and received no apology or anything to make it up to us. Rough start to the evening! Appetizers were tasty, and people watching was great! However, my steak was not the temperature I ordered - but by that time I was so hungry I just ate the overcooked steak. Lord knows the manager wouldn't have done anything about it! I did tell the server to tell the chef he had overcooked my steak, so hopefully the chef could do better for someone else. Take my advice and go elsewhere for a better experience!
