“On the receipt it said our server was Raul. He was awesome and made an iced espresso that my girlfriend thought was much better than Starbucks. The coffee creation was on the house… even the second one. The breakfast was very good and priced fairly. Because of it all, left a little over 50% tip and happy. Well done.”
“Food was great overall, and the ambiance was wonderful. The service was prompt and food arrived very quickly. The only thing that slightly disappointed me was the side salad as I was hoping for a more traditional Austrian or a German salad with pickled veggies and vinegarette. All the other food was delicious. We will definitely go back.”
“I rate it low, because the waitress took my drink (a Negroni) away from the table before it was finished without asking me if he can take it away. Once he came back and I claim to him he told me that he did it because it was not full, which he was right, but “wrong answer”..!! He shoul have 1st. apologize, 2nd. offer another one, or 3rd. if I did not wanted another one cause we ordered wine, he should have not charged in the bill. Obviuosly he was bad “trained” on how to deal with a mistake he made like that. Apart from that, everything else very good!”
“No frills restaurant offering traditional hot pot, plus basic curry/soup/noodle dishes. Seating is limited. Service can be slow during peak hours. Arrive early (or late) and BYOB.”
“Highly recommend Chasing Rabbits when in Vail. Very hip place with creative cuisine and a great wine program. I had Rabbit Bolognese and it was outstanding. Our server was excellent. Can't wait to go back!”

“Our family of four went to Ludwig's during our ski trip last year and again this year. All the dishes we've ordered both times (who were quite different) have been creative, delicious and beautifully arranged. The service is impeccable. We also enjoy the quiet atmosphere.”
“Our table at 7 was not ready at 7 ,when we had the reservation.That was very disappointing for us since we had 3 hungry kids with us.They postponed it for 8,30.We were not happy with that either,but we had to eat anyway. We ate many times there because our kids like it and as always the food is good.”
“Great food and awesome place. The margarita is very well made. Tequila bite in the beginning and nice salt taste after. Tried 6 different things and split them with my fiancé. Good portions. Left full but not uncomfortable. Our section was a little overworked for our serving team but nothing too crazy. Will definitely be back in the future”
“Impeccable food Impeccable service Impeccable ambiance ...... EXCEPT ....... We were seated at a 2-top next to the window, wonderful view of the Gore Creek, HOWEVER, the heating vents right next to the table were blasting heat. I immediately asked the waiter to turn down the heat. However, after just 5-10 minute sitting at the table I began to feel overwhelmed by the heat and had to remove my shirt and sit there with just my colored T-shirt (great for Denny's, not very appropriate for The Left Bank). With the heat slightly reduced but still very uncomfortable, I stuffed part of the table cloth into the heat vent and used two cloth napkins to block the heat. By the time we finished our appetisers, the heat was under control and we were able to enjoy our fabulous meal. Will we come back? ABSOLUTELY. Will we sit at the table again? NO WAY”
“Our dinner at Tavernetta in Vail was absolutely exceptional. The moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm, elegant atmosphere and the beautiful setting. It’s the perfect place for a special night out.
The service was top-notch — attentive, professional, and truly welcoming. The staff made sure every detail was perfect, and their recommendations were amazing.
The food was beyond incredible. Every dish was rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can taste the quality and passion in every bite. The combination of delicious cuisine, amazing service, and the cozy upscale environment made the entire experience unforgettable.
If you are visiting Vail, Tavernetta is a must-try. It’s one of the places that stays in your memory long after you leave. We had a fantastic time and would 100% come back again!”
“Connor is amazing in the kitchen, I’ve been having the wings here for years and they've always been solid, but tonight it SLAPPED. Also had the Apollo sandwich and a pizza which were made with love
Sam is a wonderful little bartender with good vibes, good music and good drinks! Everything was fantastic tonight. Looking forward to coming here more!”
“I don’t think there is an institution better than 10th mountain division. Having come here for 10+ years, the drinks are great - the service is great (if you aren’t rude) - and extra kudos to Mark and Andy. Thanks for making every experience at Vail something special.”

“We stayed at the sonnenalp for a week and had the best experience visiting the King’s Club everyday. The drinks were amazing and everyday we received incredible service, especially from Virag who was extremely attentive and made us feel very welcome. We love it here and cant wait to come back!”
Takeout Restaurants
“My husband met the owner on the gondola one day and told us all about First Chair. We made it out for dinner and drinks with the kids a few days later. Chris served us and it was great meeting him as a fellow East coaster! We ordered almost all of the burritos on the menu and were not disappointed! The smash burger was easily my favorite. My dad would order the meatball burrito for every meal, I swear, with how much he enjoyed it as well as my 1 year old eating half of one herself. My son did work on the nachos they were so tasty! When we get back to Vail, we'll be sure to stop in! great staff and food!”
“Lyssa and Heath served us and man they made either fun. Amazing service and a great spot for such a crowded mountain. You gotta not be scared to fight for a spot if you want immediate service or just wait for a table. But either way. Worth it. Amazing the deals and specials are sooo good for the area. They're so amazing”
“Atmosphere is like a chalet feel of wood n stone. Food was fine. Sloppy Joe was good. Chicken noodle soup was good. Pricey for the sandwich type food but we are in Vail Colorado. Daughter liked the salad. It was fine , the server was friendly. It was great to try. We were passing through to Utah.”
“This Starbucks sits inside the hospital lobby.
Don't worry; the map app is guiding you to the right place!
The hospital concierge staff is very friendly and will gladly point you in the right direction.
Audrey and the rest of the Starbucks staff are always warm and happy to recommend a good drink!”
“If you are looking for a sweet treat in Vail, this is the place! The ice cream is phenomenal! We stayed in Vail for a week and went three times. I will be sad I can’t get this ice cream back home. Shoutout to Morgan for the best customer service and friendly smile! 😊”

“We had a really lovely time at Treff Cafe in Vail. The café is very cozy and comfortable, perfect for sitting down and relaxing.
We ordered a few things at different times — the blueberry Danish, strawberry & cream sundae, and the smoked salmon bagel — and everything was surprisingly delicious. The smoked salmon bagel was especially amazing and definitely a must-try if you like smoked salmon. 😋
The staff were extremely friendly and kind. Some seats have power outlets, which is super helpful when you need to charge your phone or tablet while waiting for people who went skiing.
Also, the restroom was very clean, which I really appreciate.
Such a nice place with great vibes and delicious food. Highly recommend!”

“The bbq pizza was the best pizza I have ever had. The waiter was a little under par. He just wasn't as attentive to us as he was others. We ordered 2 beers he only brought one. And when we said we wanted 2. He had a attitude. But then apologized right before he brought the bill.”
“Imagine a perfect sunny ski day, when you skied 3 hours, tired and hungry, arrived at the top of wildwood lift to smell the bbq 😋
We had the brisket sandwich and ribs, big portions enough to share for 2 person. Really tasty and fueling to ski rest of the day without stopping.”
“Check in was at 4pm, not a minute earlier. But once you arrive at your room, it is extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated. We had a nice gas stove and all the amenities needed for laundry and cooking. Our family was super comfortable in a two bedroom apartment and had enough room for all their toys. The location is also the best in vail! you are seconds away from the village and all ice rink. We opted to stay on the non village side because we were worried about noise, however the other side (facing the highway) can be quiet noisy if you are a light sleeper. The pool/gym area was also a nice touch, with updated workout machines and bikes. We did have a little mishap with the concierge and our babysitter not showing up so we missed an excursion. The concierge desk was having trouble solving it, but the manager came in and handled it all swiftly to help make this feel like a five star vacation. We will be returning. xThank you!”
“Wow, one of the best restaurants on Vail mountain! For starters, this restaurant blew my mind away, especially it being 2 miles high! The pulled pork was so tender, the ribs were some of the best that I have ever had, the sauce is the bomb, and the prices were reasonable for Vail! Pro tip, use your epic pass if you have it, it will save you a drastic amount of money!
Vegetarian options: This is a bbq, so there is not many veggie dishes
Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating for dietary restrictions!
Parking: In terms of ski parking, there are many racks outside to “park” your skis. However, you can’t drive up to here!
Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!
Wheelchair accessibility: If you are on a wheelchair and are skiing, congratulations! It is for skiers!”
“Cucina is such a hidden gem. I wish more people in Vail new about Cucina! The space is huge, the atmosphere is great, and the staff is incredibly fast and friendly—especially Salvatore and Tyler. Even with our big event, they were quick, patient, kind, and super attentive. Their customer service really stood out, and I’ll definitely be coming back. The burger was delicious, and I can’t wait to try their breakfast menu next time!”
“the food was amazing. So fresh and delicious. The staff was equally impressing with great attitude and professionalism”

Cheap Eats
“Steven Teaver the owner was awesome! He opened up a little early to allow us Oregonians to check out Bad Kitty Lounge! Made us feel like long time friends! The suspended mirrored ski boot was a spectacular touch. Were there 08/23/21. Going through some of our Colorado vacation pics and had to comment on this place.”
“Nicest, most personable Starbucks staff I’ve ever met. Jada and Chloe were very patient with a complex order and held a lovely conversation when the POS was glitching, turning a situation which would’ve been otherwise unpleasant into a education time about the best sandwich on the menu (the impossible!). Coffee was on point and super yummy!”
“Andrea was very kind and helpful today at Starbucks in City Market Vail. This is a great place to rest and enjoy a delicious coffee beverage and a snack after skiing or groceryshopping. It's very conveniently located in City Market, Vail on the North Frontage Rd.”
“I recommend coming to the town of Vali, Colorado. I had a wonderful experience. It's absolutely beautiful. I enjoyed the delicious sandwiches from Deli & Market, their coffee, and their products. I hope to return again to this beautiful adventure. Thank you for the breakfast. I enjoyed it.”
“The staff were extremely friendly, greeting us enthusiastically as we walked in the door. This larger location is a great improvement from the small basement space I fondly recall from years back. We enjoyed a hearty breakfast, latte, and a smoothly while reading the local Sunday newspaper they provided. Tim, went out of his way to accommodate us. We didn’t like the ketchup on the burrito - too sweet for our taste preferences.”
“Pazzo’s Pizza in Vail is hands down the best spot for pizza around. Dan Renner and the crew make every visit feel like you’re part of the family. Their service is top-notch—always friendly, timely, and welcoming. The pizza? Absolutely unbeatable, with fresh ingredients and that perfect balance of flavor and crust. Whether you’re grabbing a bite after a day on the slopes or ordering in, they never disappoint. If you want great food and a place that treats you right, Pazzo’s is the place to go!”

“Lively sports bar with energetic après-ski scene in a rustic pub setting. They serve American comfort food classics in hearty portions. Great for casual lunch or dinner.”
