Betula was our favorite restaurant on our first trip to Aspen last year, so my wife and I made sure to return this year when we were in town. We had a great experience again, and I just love everything about it, including the food, the atmosphere, and the interesting drinks. The overall vibe is just perfect for Aspen – lively and upbeat, but not crazy or obnoxious either.
I do find it a bit annoying that this restaurant doesn’t seem to release their full restaurant availability on OpenTable when reservations open up. I went to make a reservation on the first day that our date was open to reserve, and only reservations around 5:00 and 9:00 were available. However, when I called the restaurant, they very quickly switched us to a time we preferred with no problem. It seems that it’s not necessarily hard to get a better reservation time, but you have to make extra effort and can’t just book it online.
The restaurant is owned by the same owners as Bonito in St. Barth, and it has an upscale island vacation vibe to it, which works surprisingly well in Aspen. It’s fun to come out of the cold and dine somewhere that takes you straight to feeling like you’re in an upscale part of the Caribbean.
Our table was ready right when we arrived, which was great since we had an issue last time with having to wait well beyond our reservation time for a table. We were seated at a nice table by the window in the main room where the bar is located, and we had only positive things to say about the experience. Service throughout the meal was good and friendly, and was exactly what we needed in terms of being present at the right times and always knowing when we needed another round of drinks. The overall pace of the meal was leisurely, but in a good way so we could enjoy the music from the live DJ and have plenty of drinks. A playlist of Betula’s songs is available on Spotify, which we’ve enjoyed listening to since then at home.
We really like the unique Betula cocktails, and made sure to try several of them. We started with some of the more spirit-forward ones, including the machado old fashioned the pinche picante, and the anejo a la mode, which were really good. It was nice to see that the more spirit-focused drinks are just as good as the lighter ones, which we had tried more of on our last visit. I also had a Bubbling Bonito, which is a sparkling watermelon and cucumber drink that just takes you straight to the Caribbean. I don’t think we really had a favorite drink – we just thought they were all really great, high-quality cocktails, and we look forward to our next visit to try even more of them.
For food, we split the tuna tacos as an appetizer, which are one of their signature items that are great. We both opted for fish/seafood entrées for dinner, trying the crispy skin striped bass and spicy shrimp with plantains. Both were nicely prepared and fresh, so we enjoyed that course as well. The shrimp was maybe a little spicier than I would have liked (although our server gave me fair warning about this), so the bass was the winner there. We finished the meal with cappuccinos and the banana flambe au rhum, which is presented really nicely when it’s flambeed tableside. It’s basically a chocolate cake with banana, rum, and ice cream, and was very delicious.
Just like last year, all of the food we had at Betula was quite good and we just had a great time dining there. The music, vibe, and décor were perfect for a nice dinner on vacation, and I would not hesitate to come back or recommend it to others. I don’t often see Betula ranked all that highly among restaurants in Aspen, but we really think it’s one of the best options in town and is a perfect complement to an Aspen vacation.
