Our second visit to Ellina has made it our new favorite restaurant in Aspen. All 9 of us in our party found our meals outstanding. Service was terrific except for a small lapse which brought a complimentary bottle of wine which we were drinking. We look forward to more meals at Ellina!

A fabulous meal. We have been to Ellina twice in the past few weeks. We are working our way through the menu. Service is professional and not overbearing. Every dish is outstanding. Dishes are well prepared and beautifully presented. May well be the best food in Aspen.

I've eaten at Ellina twice and have been disappointed both times. The grilled octopus appetizer was wonderful both times but the entrees were not good either time. First time had the strip steak which was overcooked and had alot of gristle. Second visit had the scallops which were dried out. Service was attentive but the entrees were brought to the table at different times with the explanation that "that's the way we do it". Hire an expediter so everyone can eat at the same time. I will not be eating there when I am back in town next week.

We almost couldn't wait 'til Ellina opened. Three of us had wonderful meals. I adore mussels and that was the special appetizer that night. Did you know I was coming? The wine selection was excellent. The service was attentive without being over the top. I hated where we were seated, but that was my fault for not saying something as we were shown the table. My direct line of sight was into the kitchen ... but that gave me the option of seeing the inner workings of a fine restaurant. Very smooth.
