a festive local place, great to relax with friends or sit at the long bar and say hello to someone seated next to you. great for a date, or with a big group. my kids love going too- they open early at 5:30. there are creative dishes with salmon and elk, but also alot of delicious vegetarian options. the sweet potato fries and home made guac are fabulous! love it! eat there!

Worst service and value in Aspen!
By Leslie, 07/12/07
Some friends and I were looking for a good place to eat without the typical Aspen prices- we thought Blue Maize would be it- but we were sorely mistaken.
We ordered $10.00 mediocre chips and salsa. We also ordered other appetizers which never came. For dinner we had $19.00 fajitas that came with 3 very small tortillas and a very small side of ...

A Local's Favorite
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/17/07
We've lived in Aspen for 12 years. This is one of our favorite restaurants. Most of the staff have been there a long time. Since it's so busy most of the time you have to be a little patient, but they aim to please. The food is beyond reproach, creative, and consistant. Be sure to get the sweet potato fries with chipotle aiole, and the ...

Fresh and Tasty

I loved the coziness and cost of this place. You sure can try something new from the menu and it will be loaded with flavor. This place is a hidden gem. A great place to relax, eat and enjoy a nice drink.

Great Place for a Meal!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/09/06
This is a very small restaurant with great food, and very little pretension (no need for fur). Great spinach, feta, pecan, and cherry vinaigrette salad. You might even see a local or two if you dine here.

Great Food!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/12/06
We have been coming to Aspen for the past nine years and this is the first year we've been going to Blue Maize. We've been there 5 times in the last two months. It has fast become our favorite. Great trout and french fried sweet potatoes. It's a local favorite. Good value, fast and friendly service. The only problem is that the outdoor seating is only at a high bar height. No tables. Highly recommended.

Don't bother
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/22/06
For such a small restaurant, how can the staff get overwhelmed so easily as to forget customers and mix up orders? The drinks (even the soft drinks) were the weakest and most uninteresting we can recall. As for the cuisine, the chef is more confused than creative. There is an unmistakable Asian influence here that is out of place. The space itself ...
FIrst of all, the service is beyond reproach. We were served with a quickly, professionally and wihta smile. The owner even made a point of coming over and checking on us and made sure that we had everyting. Even though it was our first time here, we were made to feel like regulars. The food is way better than excellent. We sampled quite a few ...
