“An incredible dining experience. Every plate was outstanding with many subtleties. Timing of the meal and the serving attention was outstanding. I would have liked there to be a less expensive wine by the glass. Ambiance was nice with low key lighting and a beautiful bar.“

“Stopped in for a drink after skiing weekday early afternoon, tried the brussel sprouts app and chicken sandwich which was absolute heaven. It's a cute old renovated minors cottage and it's small, no reservations. I waited about 10 mins for a spot at the bar. Service was excellent. My Bloody perfect. Down side might be table waits for parties bigger than two.“

“This place is tiny, but has all of the goodies! The gelato is OMG good. The sample tastes they handed out were huge as well, allowing you to really get the flavor. The staff were super nice as well. I had the Black Forrest (delicious dark cherries and a slab of dark chocolate) and the Banana Nut (banana ice cream with peanut butter and nuts). A mini cookie on top was an additional surprise! Unique homemade flavors. I’ll be back!“

It’s small and tucked out of the way, but the food is good and WHERE ELSE IN ASPEN can you get a burrito for $12? Nowhere. Amazing. We will be back again soon. It’s usually pretty packed.“

“4.7 The appetizers and pastas were absolutely delicious! This was some of the best Foie Gras I've ever had which pushed this review to 5 stars. The Cacio E Pepe was fresh and you can tell the pastas were home made. It was also cool some of the ingredients for the gnocchi special were housed from an employees local garden/farm. The main dishes lacked some seasoning and were a little lack luster compared to the Apps but would go back for those dishes for sure!!“

“As far an on-mountain “fast-food” goes, this place is up there! The Apple Strudel, which was highly recommended, was good, but could have been warmer. I had the hot-dog, very good and bigger than a normal hot-dog. Staff were friendly and the service was fast. Hard to find seating during prime lunch hours, but we managed to find a good seat. Views are fantastic.“

“If you happen to be staying at The Little Nell or visiting Aspen make brunch reservations at Element 47. Pancake lovers: try the Lemon Soufflé Pancakes, there’s just the right amount of citrus in these decadent fluffy pancakes. Vegans & avo toast lovers try the Avocado Toast. Plentiful, perfectly seasoned mashed avocado with feta & pickled onions on house baked bread is superb. Another vegan option is the Warrior Pudding Bowl, this healthy dish is super flavorful, light yet filling. Ingredients include quinoa, hemp, chia & oat. The Nell’s famous Hot Cocoa is rich, creamy & a quintessential tribute to Valrhona’s top of the heap chocolate. The recipe includes half & half, sugar, Valrhona cocoa powder & chocolate. It’s unreal! I’m a pastry fanatic so I always can’t wait to hear what flavor hand pie (pop tart esque) is on the menu. I also stash one in my ski back pack, makes the chairlift ride even more fun!“

My husband enjoyed his Caesar salad and our friends raved about the turkey club sandwich. There's not much service you go up to the counter order and then they bring you the food. Great views of Aspen Highlands. I hope to go back again before we leave.“

I hope they decide to credit me for the burger I received tonight.“

“The food and wine both were truly outstanding. The service was sporadic; they could have used additional help. The dining room views are to die for, and we loved the space between the tables and the privacy that affords. Only one constructive criticism: the sourdough bread and its delicious lemony butter should be included with the meal. Would by itself be a drawcard to dine at West End Social! Just slightly increase the prices of other menu items. Overall, a TERRIFIC experience“

Grilled cheese on wheat bread was O.K. Ambience isn’t cozy but there were some fun coffee-table books to look over. Plus the soda machine is one of those modern ones where it has a touch-screen. Neat!“

The atmosphere is also nice, cozy, and away from the hustle and bustle of the mountain. Definitely better than a lot of the on-mountain options, but still easy to get to on your skis.“
