Good food and a great atmosphere. That’s what I was promised. For the most part? That’s what I got.Star 1: How was the service and atmosphere?Without question the atmosphere at Rustique is one of the highlights. Warm and cozy on the often sub-freezing evenings, the atmosphere is complimented by a wonderful staff who are as friendly as they are timely. Star Granted.Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost?It’s Aspen, so it’s expensive, but you already knew that. Luckily, I knew that as well. Even so, was I expecting to pay $36.00 before tax and tip? No, particularly because I had two pasta(ish) dishes. We’re not talking filet mignon here, and I can only think of maybe two or three meals I’ve had in the US these past few months that were $35+ without drinks, and they were of substantially higher quality than Rustique. No Star Granted.Stars 3 and 4: How was the food?This is a tale of two courses.Starter: Mac and Cheese with Roasted Mushrooms and Truffle – Yum. yum. yum. yum. Oh my God… yum. This was seriously amazing, and was without question the best Mac and Cheese I’ve ever had (I’m looking at you, Noodles & Co.). The blend was perfect, and that’s all I have to say about that.Main: Old World Risotto with Short Ribs -Slightly less yum. Yes, I know that Risotto can be tough, but this was straight up mush, which was hugely disappointing. The short ribs were wonderful, but the quality of the Risotto really brought this down for me. Overall? One great dish, one not so great. Single Star Granted.Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could?I want to say no here, but at the end of the day, I know this is what I would first recommend to anyone wanting to splurge in Aspen. That being the case? Star Granted.
Our great new find in Aspen. Fabulous French food and service. All the following dishes were superb: Frog Legs and Escargot appetizers, Veal Sweetbreads and Calf’s Liver main courses. Went there twice …both times great and we will return.
