  • Private party facilities
    When we designed element 47 we wanted our private dining areas to be secluded without feeling isolated. To that end, we put in full-height wood stave screens, along with low frosted grey glass railings to create veil-like enclosures that separate but do not sever the visual connection between spaces or guests. But if you prefer, the screen walls pivot so they enclose your space. For private dining parties, we offer a variety of menu options, including a three-course menu and our chef’s signature tasting menu.

    Salmon was not cooked through. Fries were frozen in middle. Steak was under cooked. Service was good but food didn't even come close to the atmosphere. Wonder if the fact it was closing up for the season the next day influenced the quality. Either way, will not return.

    Glad we were able to find a last minute reservation. Don't count on it happening again, but it's spring. Everything was really great. The wine list is pretty steep. Service and food were top notch.

    Formal dining, extensive wine list, Somm helped pick a magnum of Burgundy (which the Burgundy wines were on 25% discount) and the back room for a party of 8 was perfect! Not cheap, but not outrageously expensive. A special occasion for sure. Pasta w sweetbreads was great, hanger steak was even better

    We were so disappointed. We have eaten here many times and so this was an exception. The service was fabulous as always, but we ordered the special five course tasting menu and two of the five courses were totally inedible because they were so salty -- and we usually love salt. Something must have gone terribly wrong in the kitchen. It was an expensive mistake too at $95 per person. The first two courses - spring salad and the "razor clams" were very good (although the clam dish was really a pasta dish with chopped clams on the top). Dessert very disappointing with some sort of raspberry gelatin ribbons and tasteless supposedly chocolate logs that looked like vienna sausages, but the main problem was the way too salty sweetbreads and tenderloin beef (they ran out of the pork that was supposed to be the fourth course). I hope this was just a one time problem on March 21st. We will go back and order off the menu next time!

    Was very unimpressed with this signature restaurant at Little Nell in Aspen. More casual than I would have expected for Aspen casual; VERY Overpriced wines: French Bordeaux 25% off and still over 250/bottle ! Poor US Napa selections . Food unimpressive : they need a new chef; obviously a tourist trap

    Everything is always amazing, but the pasta on the Indulgence Menu might be the best pasta dish I've ever had.

    Best restaurant in Aspen. Get the Tasting Menu. You will not be disappointed. But please be aware: A glass of wine averages $30!
