"Cocktails were excellent, we'd go back for drinks. Dinner menu seemed a bit too limited. A nice place, but ambiance wasn't what we were expecting for our anniversary."

"I live in Aspen and somehow have only been here one other time. This is an error I will be correcting. For 2 days after the meal my husband and I talked about how delicious and unique and special the food was. The bruschetta appetizer is so delicious it is beyond words. I did not want to share!! We did a combination of appetizers and side dishes, because we couldn't choose. All were so amazing! My husband did order the salmon too and the preparation was like no other - it was fantastic. My friend, who does not like salmon LOVED it and had several bites - she didn't know salmon could taste like that!! The service from our waiter and the sommelier was above and beyond, which is not always the case in Aspen, sad to say!"

"When we arrived we were seated promptly at a table in the back corner of the space, and because we were an awkward 5 the seating arrangement was cheerfully rearranged so that one could sit at the head of the table. Our waiter was initially attentive, but after a single round of drinks seemed to forget that we might want to order anything additional to drink. As the restaurant filled, the noise level became a bit overpowering and the wait staff was increasingly absent. Once our food arrived it was pretty good, if a bit oily. The octopus appetizer was interesting, salads were small and nothing special. The veal scallopini was good but there was nothing particularly creative in the presentation for the price."

"We went to Ellina to celebrate my husband's birthday. We enjoyed our dinner and thought the food was very good. The portions are not huge, however. The artichoke bruschetta was delicious but only large enough for the 5 of us to each have one small bite. Also be aware that if you want a refill on your coffee, they will charge you $5 per cup, as they make each cup individually. Overall, we really liked this restaurant and would recommend it."

"There were very noticible service issues. The staff seemed hectic and on edge. Our food took an unacceptable long time to come out. Those at our table that ordered steaks did not get a steak knife. We noticed staff snapping at each other and that surrounding tables were also getting edgy waiting for their food. The food was, however, quite tasty. The specialty drinks were also quite delicious and unlike the food, came to our table soon after ordering."
