Ever tried non-chewy octopus? The chorizo octopus was truly soft and was amazingly seasoned. It was my favorite dish.
The pesto lamb was great too.
Finally —and I don’t really have a sweet tooth— the butter torte with blackberries, peanut butter candy and chamomile/honey ice cream was delicious (do not order it more than once a year and do not order it if you have reflux).
Service was good, as our waitress knew the dishes well and we were visited by the baker (I assume) and the smiling manager (I assume).
The restaurant is cool and the hotel where it is located reminded me of Hogwarts for some reason (the snow, the castle-like deco, the formality of its workers), so I really enjoyed the whole experience.report this review -

Woohoo is right! We ate at the Chef's Club three times this week, and each time, a true delight. Sometimes people forget the "hotel restaurants", but please don't forget this one, the food and service and PEOPLE were spectacular. We live in Aspen part time, and it's time for me to shout their highest praises.
Food not sure where to start, the Wagyu Rib Eye, oh my so so good, not cheap, but so so good! Cooked to perfection, tasty, and plenty big to share for 2 or 3 or more! The chef even checked in via our server to ensure it was cooked right, and they were asking because they really cared. Aspen "attitude"? No way, GREAT "attitude", yes, way! Fried Chicken? The Colonel should be worried, it was delish, not just kinda, like really delicious and something special!!! The seared fish - wowza good! Oysters - YUM, salad, YUM, and are you ready, the Sweet Potato appetizer set a new bar for anything sweet potato. The most complex and tasty app ever rush over and order, you won't be sorry, your taste buds with thank you ALL the food was awesome!
People - I can't emphasize this enough. We went as a couple and ate at the bar two times this week, and then again as a group of six, family and friends in the dining room. Excellent both ways! Props go out to the bartenders, Jacob, Matt, Colin all just made our experience wonderful. They really knew their stuff, treated us like valued guests, and these guys really know their craft and you can tell. From wine knowledge, to carefully crafted unique cocktails these guys are A+#1!!!! And fun too! Then there's Jonathan, the Sommelier he hooked us up with great wines, I'll admit I liked 2 of them better, but all were great. I loved that he asked us the type, prompted some questions, alluded to cost parameters, and delivered the goods! A good Somm is so great, and he nailed it with his choices!
I'll be back very, very soon this really might be THE best food and definitely THE best high end bar in Aspen!report this review -

Nice ambience with view of open kitchen! Staff very polite and would go extra length to accommodate your request. Liquor selection is great! Food is not the best for its price of $$$.

Highly disappointed. The service and drinks were very good as well as the appetizers (crab, cheese, and ceviche), however the entrees where overall very average. My wife's steak was over cooked as well as my cousins lamb chops. I ordered the Nashville Hot Fried Chicken which was bland and dry. Annoyingly, the chicken consisted of only tendon-heavy legs, no thighs or breast meat.
At these prices, I fully expect everything to be top notch and it wasn't. Maybe caught them on a bad night (Friday?).report this review -

My wife and I went to Chef's Club last night and had one of the most memorable dining experiences. The mood was prefect, service impeccable, and the food was AWESOME! TWO THUMBS UP!

Our Christmas holiday got off to a fantastic start, thanks to the staff at Chefs Club. They kindly honored our request to be seated at the Chef's Table, where the view of kitchen choreography was impressive, most notably the expertise of Executive Chef Didier Elena. Cocktails by Chef Anthony Bohlinger rocked our world, especially the Wildflower with gin, lavender, watermelon and egg white. Highly recommended: Kale salad with Poached Shrimp and Seaweed; Cauliflower Tempura with Fermented Fish Sauce by Bryant Ng; Riccotta Cappelletti, Fresh Basil, Pine Nuts, Pecorino & Toasted Garlic by Missy Robbins and a very special treat: Gnocchi with Shaved Black Truffles which melted in my mouth. Absolutely fantastic meal, start to finish. Not to be missed.
