The Crystal Palace Grille is by far the best restaurant I have been to, not only in Aspen, but anywhere in the last few months. I live in New York and have been coming to Aspen since childhood, but for some reason had never been to the Crystal Palace even as a theater. I had my first experience of it last night, though, and as I sit here watching the blizzard from my window...all I can think about is the incredible meal that I enjoyed with my family last night. The food was complimented by lovely service and charming ambience. I enjoyed the Half Moon entree, a combination of the famous American Kobe beef and Italian Piedmontese. I absolutely loved every morsel. Great, in every regard, for almost any occasion. In fact, it would be perfect for special occasions!
