    The food was excellent but sadly the service was not. There seemed to be only two servers working (both as waitstaff and bus-people). They also seemed to be working the host stand. Very long wait for food and clearing between appetizers and entrees and people were left waiting at the host stand which was unstaffed. Very weird. The room is beautiful as are the views. The food was very good. We learned from one of the staff that there are only 5 servers working all three meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) which is insane given the price point of the meal.

    Went to a event tonight, Mahalo in the summer and when you see the advertisement it says $65 for food, specialty drinks and music but when you get there, you get the food and music and the drink drinks you have to pay for I was very confused about this is it false advertisement?

    Out-of-the-way, neighborhood restaurant with a beautiful view and amazing food. Closest parking was a couple blocks away. Staff was friendly, but our waiter only came by 3 times in the hour we were there and no one else covered for him when we dropped a fork or needed a glass of wine. We didn't stay for dessert.

    The restaurant has a beautiful view. The food was really delicious. The restaurant was a bit limited on breakfast lunch I alcoholic beverages when we first arrived. The location and the building made us feel like we were in the wrong place. It’s about a mile and a half away from downtown Aspen, but was an easy drive There’s visitor parking close to the tennis courts. I would go go back!

    We tried West End Social for the first time after years of visiting Aspen. The positive reviews and mountain views made it sound like a promising dinner spot, but our experience was deeply disappointing. We ordered a bottle of wine that took 45 minutes to arrive. My wife eventually had to ask whether we should choose a different bottle. My steak was so heavily salted that I could barely eat it. The side salad was bland; I asked my wife to taste it because I wondered if the salt had affected my palate, and she agreed it had no flavor. The best part of my plate was a very small potato. My wife’s fish tasted fine, but the portion was tiny. The ambiance was pleasant enough, though there’s no view to enjoy after dark. For the time and money we spent, the meal fell far short. I wouldn’t recommend West End Social for dinner.

    We have been to West Side Social a few times now. We live the view! The food is very good and the pastry chef is wonderful. There were a couple hiccups in the kitchen tonight but the overall experience was very good. We will continue to patronage and continue our support as it’s one of our favorites.
