Restaurants by Cuisine
“The food is beyond exquisite, the environment , the views, the service, the options, everything amazing 💯.”
“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.”

“This was the only decent place with vegan options in Vail. The food was relatively tasty and not overpriced. I got the Buddha Roll (ask for eel sauce to be excluded), avocado and cucumber rolls, and the veg gyoza. Would recommend! Updated from previous review on 2026-07-30”
“We were visiting Vail for our anniversary and we decided to try Makoto for dinner. The food was excellent, especially the Wagyu Hot Stone and the Softshell Crab sushi. Our waitress Hiroko was very knowledgeable and attentive! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are visiting Vail.”
“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!”
“Our experience from start to finish was excellent at Zuma Vail. Alex our server made the best recommendations, very attentive and made our special celebration even more memorable. The management team also made sure we were taken care of and surprised us with desserts to celebrate our wedding anniversary and birthday celebrations. The food was impeccable. Everything was top-tier, we didn’t take photos of everything but we’ll always remember this dinner. Can’t wait to come back with family and friends.”

“Big shoutout to Smara, Ana, Rosa, Charrise, Julia, Lily, and Alejandra! You made our experience at Ludwig so special. The food was incredible, but the warmth and care from this crew were what really blew us away. Hands down one of our favorite dining experiences in Vail!”
“An extraordinary dining experience to remember!!We were celebrating my husband‘s 80th birthday and he chose to dine at The Left Bank, because it is classy, elegant and spectacular…and so it proved to be! Each course was made to perfection we sampled many of the desserts and they were all over the top wonderful. We feel like The Left Bank provides a very unique dining experience in Vail. Truly magnificent for any occasion…We can’t thank our server, Brendon, enough for his expertise and professionalism. Truly a night to remember! Thank you everyone at The left Bank for making Allen‘s 80th birthday so special.”
“Make a reservation even as you are walking up on open table. W/o the reservation they will direct you to the bar or there may be a wait. We grabbed a reservation while at the host stand, only table available was near the kitchen and then an outside for two opened and we were moved. Great service and appreciate their focus on conserving water during the drought.”
“Lovely dinner at Tavernetta with our toddler in tow! The stone-and-wood dining room has such a warm, rustic-Italian feel — cozy booths, dim lighting, and touches like the little brass table lamps make it feel special without being stuffy. Even our 3-year-old was won over, happily digging into a bowl of parmesan on the table before our pasta even arrived. Service was warm and accommodating for a family with a young kid, and the entrance off the stone staircase (right by the Tavernetta sign) sets a great tone before you even walk in. Great spot for a family night out in Vail Village — will be back.”
“We visited pre-ski season and the atmosphere was perfect. No large crowds and the service was wonderful.”
“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.”
“How can you go wrong with melted cheese, bread, and wine?? Everything was amazing and our server Sigi was the best, and had some great suggestions.. listen to everything she says.”
“We were visiting Vail for our anniversary and we decided to try Makoto for dinner. The food was excellent, especially the Wagyu Hot Stone and the Softshell Crab sushi. Our waitress Hiroko was very knowledgeable and attentive! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are visiting Vail.”

“When we arrived, we sat on the patio, but when the wind picked up, we moved into the dining room. The service was fantastic with good recommendations for food and drink, and we enjoyed the mountain scenery even from inside the restaurant. Plenty of parking, great bathrooms, and a good stop on our way home. I would definitely come here again!”
“A few places I’ve dined at in the area have nice atmosphere and just middle of the road food. Bart & Yeti’s is not one of those - spectacular food here! I had the best Caesar Chicken Wrap ever. The Pprk Green Chile was incredible, even the house salad that we also ordered was wonderful. Was not expecting to write these kind of statements about the food we ordered but we were blown away with how good it was. Service was impeccable as well … everyone was attentive and it was just a great experience. Was not expecting such a great meal, it definitely caught us off guard. Will definitely go again us our schedule allows.”
“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.”
“This place is so much fun! We had a girls trip this last week and went twice. The atmosphere was perfect, it was like a dive bar with great comfy seating. They had touch tunes so we got to play our own music (so fun) however, our only complaint is that there’s VERY limited country music options. Apparently the owner doesn’t want it to be a country bar but we’re just some Oklahoma girls wanting to play some of our fave tunes! If we could’ve played whatever we wanted I would give this place a 10/10. But for now, it is an 8.5/10. Regardless of the music limitations this place is great. We had the sweetest bartender both nights, Kaya. She made us feel so welcome and it was nice to see a familiar face when we came back. If you’re in town looking for a fun night out, this is the place to go. Maybe if we beg enough they’ll add some more country music to the touch tunes options????”
“the coffee shop is paired with a restaurant and the restaurant was basically empty, i’m assuming they were not open. the coffee shop portion was also empty but the baristas were nice and happy to take our order. i ordered the cafe miel which is honey, cinnamon and oat milk with espresso but i asked for mine with whole milk and they happily made that accommodation for me. the coffee was delicious and so flavorful. the coffee was made pretty quickly. i highly recommend this place if you are in vail!”
“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!”
“Stopped in while visiting Vail and had a great experience. We ordered the cashew chicken and sesame chicken, and both were delicious. The chicken was tender, the vegetables were fresh, and the sauces were flavorful without being overly heavy. Portions were generous, and everything came out hot and quickly. Friendly service and a great spot for Chinese food after a day in the mountains. We’d definitely come back.”

“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!”

“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!”
“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!”
“We had lunch at Wildwood Smokehouse. It's located at the top of the Wildwood lift at Vail. We each had a sandwich, shredded chicken, brisket, and pulled pork, and weall had onion rings for our side. They were all good. The shredded chicken had great smoky flavor. On the table, there are 3 BBQ sauces, OG, spicy and honey mustard.”
“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!”
“Truly an outstanding experience - food and service. Nicole was our server - fabulous! And made our experience with recommendations and her attention. Wonderful combinations of flavors and textures, in our opinion. Did not yet experience the Sushi, that's for another evening. Stayed with the menu.”
“We had the most amazing meal at Revel! The salmon with creamy leeks and Chardonnay braised turnips was spectacular—the subtle flavors were perfectly balanced with the leeks providing just the right amount of tang so it didn’t feel too rich. The braised beef was like butter; the savory vegetables it was braised in overnight gave a depth of flavor I’ve never tasted in beef before. The chocolate mousse for dessert…heavenly! The richness of the Belgian chocolate and vanilla bean cream had me moaning out loud.
The salmon is flown in from Norway and the beef is raised locally. I think this goes to show that if you start with fresh, pure ingredients and put them in the hands of a talented chef you can make the simplest of foods taste exceptional.
I just ate at a James Beard award winning restaurant last month and I can honestly say it was no comparison to our meal at Revel! I can’t wait to go back!”

“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.”
“Pretty good bar, especially if you’re staying at the hotel. It was loud inside when we first got there, and there’s a pinball machine and pool tables. I got the chicken cesar wrap and it was really good! Prices are reasonable for Vail. We also tried the tomato basil flatbread. That was good as well all though the sauce was spicy. A good variety of food and drink options, I’d go back again!
Vegetarian options: Different vegetarian options and they even had a grilled veggie burger”

“We were disappointed with our experience at Vendetta's. Despite having a 7:30 p.m. reservation on a Monday evening, we weren't acknowledged at our table for nearly 30 minutes. Once we were able to order, the entrée I had been looking forward to—the sausage and ricotta shells—was unavailable. The spaghetti and meatballs I ordered arrived only lukewarm, and the slice of pizza my wife ordered was dried out and not enjoyable. What makes this especially disappointing is that this restaurant has so much potential. The location in the heart of Vail Village is outstanding, and it's easy to see why it's so popular. Unfortunately, it appeared the restaurant was significantly understaffed, and the quality of both the service and food suffered as a result. I hope management views this as constructive feedback. With better staffing and more consistent execution, Vendetta's could provide an experience that matches its excellent location and reputation.”
“We visited pre-ski season and the atmosphere was perfect. No large crowds and the service was wonderful.”
“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!”
“Our favorite breakfast in the Vail valley! To save yourself some time, be sure to join their waitlist thru Google! They’ll text you when your table is ready! My husband’s & son’s favorite item is the Taxi Driver.”
