Katrina StreichJanuary 23, 2015Absolutely nothing will disappoint here. Fantastic for both lunch and dinner. The buttermilk fried chicken sandwich and truffle fries are musts for lunch, and the confit pork belly for a starter.
Miguel BAApril 10, 2016I honestly didn't wanna come here because it's the most expensive around ($100 pp), but it was the best dinner I had in vail. Try the ahi tuna, the king crab tostada and the fillet mignon.
Jason ReiffApril 1, 2013Easily one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Everything that came to our table was not just good but outstanding. The quail, beet salad, and pork chop were all incredibly delicious! Go here
Kara CAugust 11, 2017Small menu. The tomato tower has 1 single fried green tomato. Truffle fries are a must. The ahi tuna sandwich runs on the dainty side. The burger was amazing!
Susie HuxfordNovember 14, 2013We love to come here for an amazing dinner and fantastic cocktails. Be prepared for a crowd because of this restaurants wonderful reputation. If you are in a hurry, this is not the restaurant for you.
Brittney PotterJanuary 24, 2020We were here for lunch started off with fire roasted cauliflower which we all were not fans of, very bold taste. The shrimp & grits were amazing.
Jenn CoughlinDecember 31, 2018The bison tartare and trout entree were fantastic. Great cocktails - in particular, the espresso martini - and an outstanding bourbon selection.
Some of the best food in CO. Go to favorites include - chicken liver pate, shrimp & grits, pimento cheese, wedge salad, and pork shank
Patrick ManusJune 11, 2018Very good dinner, right by the creek. Go with the Pork if looking for meat, steak is only OK. Whenever some sort of sauce is ordered the kitchen does this loud shouting thing, look out for that.
Paul SuwanDecember 15, 2012They have the full menu at the bar and it's first come, first served so if you want to eat here but don't have a reservation (or are a solo diner), the bar is a great option!
Joey JFebruary 18, 2015The Boulder Chicken breast was great. Portions are on the smaller side though. If you have room, try the Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake.- Greg GordonDecember 22, 2017The olives are super tasty. I love the pork shank. They change their menu regularly and it’s always top notch.
Susan J CampbellSeptember 4, 2015Bacon appetizer is beyond fabulous, tuna and lamb great, sticky toffee pudding great--is there anything not great at this restaurant?
Vin CrosbieJune 22, 2011Wonderful lunch. A fine demonstration of fresh ingredients imaginatively (no negative inference) prepared; fine service; and prices that leave you pleasantly surprised.
Jake BakerMarch 18, 2013Book a reservation far in advance - this place is always packed. Great food and worth finding your way here.
Brandon FischerJanuary 11, 2013Wow! Highly recommend! 3 of us ordered the Ahi Tuna, Venison, and Mahi Mahi - all were flawless!
Justin FjeldosMay 27, 2013Great lunch experience! Wonderful service and delicious food! Try the Rocky Mountain Trout...Awesome flavor.
Amber RachaelJanuary 3, 2014Consistently great! Food and service were fabulous! The best restaurant in Vail!
Rebecca MazzaJanuary 23, 2013For an appetizer get the sweetbreads or fois gras. And they really do have the "perfect" margarita.
Trinitys ChildMarch 21, 2010worked here for about a year. high profile bottom of the mountain, place to be seen and to see. great food. 300 long wine list. try the basil mary's if they still have them.
- Exclusive ResortsSeptember 23, 2011The "Hot Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake" is unforgettable. This is one of the finest restaurants in Vail.
- Chesney HellmuthJanuary 10, 2012The Cauliflower bisque, Colorado Lamb T-bone and Hot Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake made this place my favorite restaurant.
Philip WinslowDecember 29, 2012Karl is the best bartender in Vail. Try his creations and listen to his wine recommendations.
Kara FisherJanuary 7, 2011Probably my favorite restaurant of all time. Try the pecorino & pear ravioli or anything with lamb
Bill DAlessandroMarch 10, 2012Try the cocktail menu - the Hendrick's Haze and Elder Orange are both awesome.
Janyce BrandonApril 28, 2010Pair champagne with the duck entree. I dream about this combination, best duck in the nation!
