Reviews for The Red Onion in Aspen, CO
Went downtown to get dinner with my wife, got put on several wait lists, and then walked by The Red Onion where we were seated... immediately. Staff were friendly and helpful. Appetizer was delicious and original - Bacon Pico de gallo macaroni and cheese(one of the best treats ever and I would get it again and again, but would add the jalapenos!). Dinner was fabulous, halibutwith mango salsa, and my wife had the streak - cooked perfectly and very tender. She loved her potatoes, and she normallydoesn't even like mashed potatoes. Read more
The food was delicious! I got a pulled pork sandwich and my husband got the burger. We ate outside; because of Covid the inside... wasn't available. We got rained on, but it passes quickly. ???? The server was not super helpful when I asked forrecommendations, but he might have been distracted by the mask he had to wear. My guess is that probably everything is good! Read more
We were a group of 7 and we had a great time. Our server was really good and attentive. Food came out quick and hot. I had the... Elk Bolognese pappardelle and it was really good. I'd get it again :) Read more
This bustling restaurant drew me for 2 reasons. A) the history that it was the original restaurant in its same location since... the village grew around it and B) because there is/was a great restaurant in Vancouver that was modeled after this one and Iworked there for yrs during Uni! A great history lesson, and bits of Americana nestled into the main street of Aspen. I woulddefinitely recommend people check this place out. Stay for a drink or feed the entire crew, not if you're on shoestring budgettho! Read more
Evan was a great server. I?m giving it 3 stars due to my Red Onion burger being nothing to brag about. I?ve had tastier burgers... at Five Guys. The fries I got were good. My wife?s pulled pork sandwich was much better than my burger. She got a salad as aside which was delicious. Read more
It's a busy little place located in Aspen?s downtown shopping area with both indoor and outdoor sitting arrangements. We had 8... people in our group, so had to wait little bit (almost 30 mins) to get a table. It was super crowded and loud inside, we had topush through the people to get to our table at the back of the pub...but I guess that's normal for a popular pub on a Saturdaynight. Our waitress was very nice & attentive. She didn't even complain when we had to change 2 orders (oh the joys of lettingthe kids decide what they want :P ) out of 8 after she took our orders. It took another 30 mins or so for the food to come out,but again...that's normal. My family order 2 Colorado Buffalo Burger (one w/ Sweet Potato Fries & another one with salad) withsautéed mushroom & onion, Pan Seared Rocky Mountain Trout, and the Mac & cheese. We were very happy to see the portion size, itwas quite big! Even the macaroni & cheese dish from kids' menu was big. We enjoyed our meals and time very much here. Willdefinitely go back if we are in Aspen again. Read more
I was looking for a spot to watch UGA play in the Rose Bowl when I stumbled across this gem! The apres ski atmosphere was... festive, and the food was delicious! We got the steak tacos, Philly cheese steak, onion rings, and chicken tenders for the kids.The service was great, as well. 5 stars. Read more
Food was delicious and service was solid. Beer selection was limited and the seating and interior was a little dated. Overall a... good experience and would go back. Read more
