Truffle Fry Heaven

Fantastic place for a late lunch or supper after a day hitting Ajax Mountain. Truffle Fries are an annual tradition.

WHAT A DISASTER!!!

I have been coming to Ajax Tavern for years and have always loved the food, the service, and the overall vibe BUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY OLD FAVORITE?? My husband and I stopped by while in Aspen the other day and WOW, how disappointing!! We waited at the hostess stand for 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged us, then when we finally got seated, service was terrible. Every one was running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Our food took forever and when it finally came, it was cold and over cooked. We asked to see a manager and no one ever came by our table. My husband and I left so disappointed and I think its time to find a new Aspen favorite

Dear perkinssss98,

Thank you for your support over the years. I regret to hear that your last visit with us was not satisfactory. It is disconcerting to know that you and your husband had a displeasing experience with us. We take our service, cuisine, and overall vibe very seriously, and always aim to exceed expectations. I assure you, the experience you had is not characteristic of how we strive to be. I hope you'll give us another opportunity to show you the true Ajax Tavern experience that you know and love.

Best Regards,
Sarah Longbottom

Great for lunch, avoid dinner

Very convenient place for lunch. Lunch menu limited, but good food. Excellent fries! Avoid as a dinner venue - the bar, in the same room, gets very loud!
