A good dining plan starts with the **nights that matter**, not a list of fashionable restaurants. We’re here in Aspen, we know the restaurants and we’re in contact with the people behind them. Tell us who is coming and what you have in mind. We help you choose the right rooms, work directly with their teams on your reservations and connect dinner to the rest of your stay.


## A table should fit the occasion

- **A dinner for two**: Choose atmosphere before cuisine: a quieter room for a conversation, a tasting menu for an evening built around food, or a livelier room if dinner is the beginning of the night.
- **A family dinner**: Share children’s ages, a realistic seating time and allergies. An early table near the residence may be worth more than the hardest reservation in town.
- **Eight or more guests**: For eight or more, we work with the restaurant on the right group-booking route, seating layout, menus and deposit terms. One coherent plan is better than several online reservations that may not fit together.
- **One important celebration**: Tell us what you are celebrating. We coordinate the details with the restaurant—timing, seating, a cake or other touches—and make any extra charges clear before you commit.

## Local relationships. A better dinner plan.

Knowing Aspen’s restaurants means helping you choose the evening, not just submitting a booking. We discuss your group and occasion with the team, work through suitable times and keep the details together. You have one contact here, rather than a week of separate reservation conversations.

Pick two or three essential evenings and leave space around them. During Christmas, New Year’s, Presidents’ Day and major event weekends, flexibility on the sitting can make the difference. We work around each restaurant’s booking window and keep alternatives you would actually enjoy.

Use [our restaurant guide](https://aspenprive.com/aspen-restaurants/) for a first look at the dining scene, or let us recommend a plan from your brief. The room, the atmosphere, your address and the rest of your day all matter.


## The details we take care of

- **Your actual party**: We pass along your final guest count, children’s ages, accessibility needs and dietary restrictions, distinguishing allergies from preferences.
- **The financial terms**: We make deposits, cancellation windows, minimum spending, gratuity and any fixed-menu requirements clear before you approve the booking.
- **Getting there and home**: Dinner should fit the rest of the evening. We coordinate [a driver](https://aspenprive.com/aspen-private-driver/) when useful, with your actual address, group size and finish time in mind.
- **A useful alternative**: If the first choice does not work, we bring you a different time, a restaurant that fits the same occasion or [a chef at the residence](https://aspenprive.com/private-chef-aspen/)—not a random substitute.

## A dinner brief in one message

Dates in Aspen; the specific evenings; number of adults and children; preferred time and acceptable range; two or three restaurants you like; dietary needs; occasion; where you are staying; and a per-person budget if you have one. Tell me whether you want one standout night or the whole week handled.

If you already have reservations, send the confirmations too. We coordinate the remaining gaps and any changes with the restaurant teams, keeping the parts of your plan that already work.


## Questions

**What does Aspen Privé handle for restaurant reservations?**  
We recommend restaurants for your group and occasion, work directly with their teams on reservation requests and coordinate the details: timing, dietary needs, group arrangements and transport where useful. You have one local contact throughout.

**When should I request holiday dinners?**  
Send your dates and party size as soon as they are settled. We check each restaurant’s booking window, prioritize the evenings that matter and work on useful alternatives for busy nights.

**Can you plan dinners for a large group?**  
Yes. We coordinate with the restaurant on the right format for your group: a regular table, group menu or private-dining enquiry. Send your headcount, occasion and preferred evenings so we can shape the plan.

**Can we keep reservations we already booked?**  
Yes. Send the confirmations, and we plan around them.
