Restaurants near Independence Square Lodge by Frias

Fabulous everything. Service was super attentive and excellent. Every item ordered was cooked to perfection. Sushi is outstanding. Steaks are done just right and full of flavor. Would visit here every time we are back in Aspen. This should be a go to whenever visiting Aspen.

Great service and fajitas are awesome. All food is super fresh.

Our appetizer (lobster dynamite), sashimi (yellow tail) , and sushi (house roll) were excellent, however our main dishes were disappointing. Salmon teriyaki was small and very dry with a huge mound of rice and mediocre vegetables. The sea bass special was loaded with bones in every bite, although the server offered to have it deboned. The drinks were great. The server was excellent, and the 20% gratuity was included in the check, even on a party of two.

Wonderful food all around (we each had a different pasta dish). We had an early reservation and enjoyed conversation at our table through dinner. After dinner we decided to forgo dessert and coffee, as the restaurant started to fill and a table for 10 behind us increased the noise level so we couldn’t hear each other! This restaurant is an Aspen gem - don’t miss a delicious meal here!

Great food, our server was excellent, ran out of some specials early on.
