Wayan Aspen

Simply amazing! Personable and welcoming staff, a meticulously curated ambiance, and absolutely delicious food... by all measures, this was a world class dining experience. Every dish stood out in its own way; great ingredients with complex flavors, and perfect technique. Everything was phenomenal, but I would recommend the lamb satay, nasi goreng, and pork ribs the most - as well as the Ube sundae dessert! We got to enjoy a few Aspen restaurants on our trip, and Wayan is very much a gem. In a town where excellence is advertised on every corner, they really, really hit the mark for what an incredible restaurant should be, without any shortcuts or compromises. Highly recommend sitting at the chefs counter too, if you want to observe the magic (and the fire) up close!

The food was super tasty. The place has such a beautiful and unique décor — nothing like I’ve seen anywhere else. The staff were all so nice and gave great service. I tried all three desserts and they were amazing. Definitely a spot you can’t miss when you’re in Aspen.

A heavily decorated restaurant with excellent food and service. Dishes are pricey and portions are not huge, but the flavors are terrific and the service top-notch. I enjoyed the steamed black Seabass as well as the mushroom medley (which is their vegan dish) and amazingly satisfying.

Food, service, and ambience were very much on point during our visit. No complaints and only praise. The sashimi, octopus, and Lombok were very delicious and memorable. Lots of gluten free options as well. Can’t wait to return next time we’re in Aspen.

The waitress was very friendly and attentive, which I really appreciated. The atmosphere and décor are nice, and the restaurant has a great vibe overall. The food and the drink were okay, but I was honestly expecting a bit more based on the reviews and the look of the place. Still a decent experience, just not as impressive as I hoped.

Aspen never ceases to amaze me. Wayan is exceptional — authentic, creative, and full of flavor. The food was outstanding, the cocktails inventive and delicious, and the wine list clearly curated with care. The restaurant itself is beautiful, offering an atmosphere that transports you straight to Bali. Service was top-notch. We were celebrating our anniversary and were immediately greeted with congratulations and glasses of champagne. Our server, Paige, was attentive, polished, and highly professional. A truly wonderful experience — one of Aspen’s very best.

Here’s your true rating and review. Atmosphere inside was very nice and different, however very stuffy ,it was hot no ventilation! Sit outside or don’t go! Unless they put on the ac. There’s 1 bathroom unless you want to walk a block. Big discomfort. Waitress was an amazing peppy young sweet girl. She was great . Food , appetizers main dishes took a very long time and the courses were sent out scattered. Sea bass was great! Mango salad average , potatoes and the yellow coconut rice poor reheated you can taste the microwave. Had the super small expensive dry aged (probably not aged for very long) steak, average at best if I’m nice ! But save your money on this dish. Chicken satay averaga. Very good was the beef fried rice. Didn’t have dessert The meal took so long we wanted to get out

My visit to Wayan was a memorable experience overall, with some clear highlights and a few limitations worth noting. First, the ambiance is absolutely stunning—both inside and out. The space feels warm, intimate, and effortlessly chic, making it a perfect fit for Aspen’s elevated yet relaxed vibe. It’s exactly the kind of restaurant you’d want for a cozy date night after a day on the slopes. Unfortunately, dinner reservations were fully booked, so I stopped in for an early lunch instead. While I was grateful to get in, the lunch menu was extremely limited, and several items—most notably the oysters—were already sold out, which was disappointing. Additionally, there is only one shared, gender-neutral bathroom in the restaurant, and I did have to wait a bit to use it. That said, the service was genuinely excellent. The staff was attentive and professional, and the chef even came out personally to apologize for the items that were unavailable, which was a thoughtful and much-appreciated touch. Overall, it was still a great experience, largely because of the ambiance and service. That said, I would absolutely want to return for dinner, as I suspect that’s when Wayan truly shines and offers the full culinary experience beyond the limited lunch menu.
