Fodor's Review:

The newest outpost of Wolfgang Puck's Spago, located at the Ritz Carlton, Bachelor Gulch, is housed in an expansive, recently-redone dining room whose decor?vegetable-dyed wood paneling and enlarged black-and-white photographs of the surrounding mountain peaks?achieves a sleekly modern look without contradicting the resort's rustic mountain sensibility. Puck's seasonal menu often favors Asian accents and regional ingredients. In late autumn, the menu featured a pumpkin soup deliciously intensified with cardamom cream, and Colorado lamb chops spiced with Hunan eggplant and cilantro-mint vinaigrette. The pumpkin and mascarpone agnolotti with sage butter is not to be missed, and for dessert, the kaiserschmarren, a souffled creme fraiche pancake with strawberry sauce, is otherwordly. Service is impeccable, if a touch formal; those who prefer a low key (or less bank-breaking) meal might consider dining in the bar area.
