ASPEN - Syzygy (520 East Hyman Avenue, 2nd Floor, Aspen, CO 81611; 970-925-3700; http://www.syzygyrestaurant.com/)
Of all restaurants visted in Aspen, Syzygy would be my first recommendation. Syzygy is not an inexpensive place to eat (this is Aspen, after all), but well worth the extra dollar.
To begin with, the service is friendly - formal, but friendly and competent. The wine list is quite spectacular, offering a wide array of domestic as well as international goodies.
Dishes seem prepared with choice ingredients, fresh, complex, creative. The creamy Wild Mushroom Soup was a winner, so were the Elk Tenderloins prepared to order. The chef takes his time, you should reserve plenty yourself to indulge. The atmosphere in the restaurant is enhanced by nightly live jazz performances, try to reserve a table in the extra room near the stage if you enjoy such entertainment.
Overall an upscale place to dine well, enjoy a drink or two, and great live music. Highly recommended.
