Review: I went with a friend to try the new Escape after they remodeled and gave the place a facelift. If only they'd kept the good parts of the menu! Nothing was awful, but this is no longer the place I take friends to prove how amazing vegetarian can be. The friend I went with got a "sandwich" which was basically tofu on toast. No veggies, no sauce, nada. It came with yam fries (pretty good) and black bean soup(bland), but that didn't make up for the price paid for the meal. I got a beet salad (which was good) and pasta (which was bland and unexciting). From now on I'm going to the Cantina (also on Main Street) and getting the Vegan Tower or veggie enchiladas (and their not bland vegetarian black bean soup). Previously such a fan of the Explore Bistro! :(
Maybe they're just getting on their feet again after the remodel, but they've been open for over nine months now. I did notice the tostadas that I loved from the previous Explore are still on the menu, maybe they managed not to ruin those. It's like the added fish to the menu and forgot that vegetarian food can be amazing. Prices are comparable to other restaurants in Aspen (which you get used to if you live here).
Pros: quite * nice location *
Cons: awful food * bland * |

Review: The food was definitely not mentionable, especially for the price. I'm in pretentious Aspen, shouldn't the food be pretentious too? The choco-orange mouse was good though and the service was great. My waitress was very kind and brought me a complimentary corn muffin, also she was wise up on what was vegan. Mostly Organic and local at least, and maybe I just chose a poor menu option.
Pros: Great wait staff * Mostly OG and local * Bookstore
Cons: Bland? * Pricey * |
