Locals might argue that the best food in the valley is not served in the posh eateries of Aspen but in this Carbondale favorite. The irreverent menu and whimsical lexicon (a glossary is provided for your reference), superb service, and inventive preparations of excellent local produce, game, and fish create a downright delightful dining experience. Try the Palisade peach slow-roasted Berkshire pork shoulder or the seared striped bass with mustard pan sauce. There's an extensive wine list (and a knowledgeable sommelier) as well. If you're feeling adventurous, put yourself in chef Mark Fischer's capable hands with "Random Acts of Cooking," a family-style tasting menu.
