Sam's

"Perched atop the majestic Sam's lift in Snowmass Mountain, Sam's Knob isn't just a restaurant—it's a culinary adventure worth strapping on those ski boots for. As seasoned visitors, my crew and I make this ascent a mandatory pit stop every time we hit the slopes, and boy, does it never disappoint. Prepare your taste buds for a rollercoaster ride of flavor, courtesy of a menu that's as dynamic as the mountain itself. We embarked on our latest culinary journey with gusto, diving into an array of tantalizing dishes that left us swooning. The pesto prosciutto pizza was a slice of heaven, marrying fresh flavors with the perfect crispy crust. The chicken liver pate was a decadent delight, spreading smoothly over toasted bread like butter on a warm ski slope. And who could forget the chilled tiger shrimp diavolo, packing a spicy punch that warmed us from the inside out. But the surprises didn't stop there. The lamb burger was a juicy revelation, each bite bursting with savory goodness. And just when we thought we couldn't possibly eat another bite, the spumoni dessert beckoned with its promise of sweet satisfaction. Paired with a scoop of velvety lemon sorbet, it was the perfect ending to our mountain feast. And let's not forget about the service and ambiance, which were as stellar as ever. The staff is ensuring that every need was met with a smile. And as we dined, the breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks reminded us why we keep coming back to this mountain oasis. Oh, and did I mention the cherry on top? The dedicated locker room where you can bid adieu to your clunky ski boots and slip into provided slippers like Cinderella after the ball. It's the little luxuries like these that make dining at Sam's Knob feel like a true indulgence. So, whether you're craving a culinary escapade or just looking to refuel after a day on the slopes, Sam's Knob is the place to be. Just be warned: once you've experienced the magic of this mountain gem, you'll find it hard to dine anywhere else. Reservation is must."

"Sam's is definitely a local must-try for an on-mountain restaurant at Snowmass. Fine dining with stellar views and not too expensive pricing. Elevate your business meeting or treat your ski group to delicious house made bread and tasty dishes, the atmosphere matches you. One of the few places where you cannot go wrong with the menu choices. Would recommend a reservation! It's worth it."

"Stopped by Sam's for a drink after a day of skiing. The restaurant is at the top of Sam's Knob in Snowmass and is absolutely georgous inside. I've been to a couple of fancy on mountain dining establishments where you need to take a lift, specifically at Vail, Keystone, & Beaver Creek and Sam's at Snowmass takes the cake for setting and decor without a doubt. We have not tried the food yet but plan to do so. This is a special place!"

"One of the coolest restaurants I have ever been too! I've gone here every year since I've been out to Aspen. Great place to stop and relax in the middle of a ski day. I would definitely suggest making reservation though! Reviews of the mountain are amazing in the atmosphere is so cool."

"Another amazing meal at Sam’s! We came here for the first time in 2021 and revisited in Feb of 2023. Sam’s is luxury on the slopes… you are welcomed with a warm fireplace, high vaulted ceilings and their “slipper service” giving your feet a much needed break. This spot has some of Aspen’s dreamiest views making it the perfect place for a break from a day’s skiing. The food is delicious and the wine list is extensive. Highly recommend to make reservations. Get the special pizza - You won’t be disappointed. Can’t wait to come back."
