From the creators of Sweet Basil in Vail Colorado comes a fresh, innovative new restaurant opening December 2012. Aptly named Mountain Standard, this rustic and relaxed tavern aims to set a new standard in the Vail valley by using an ancient form of cooking.The majority of Mountain Standard’s menu will be prepared via the most primal cooking method: over an open and live wood fire. The only restaurant in the valley to devote themselves to this age-old way of cooking, the food at this exciting new restaurant will have rustic, bold and honest flavors, focusing on the purest ingredients in the Rocky Mountain region and beyond.Service, like the cuisine, will have that perfect balance of providing a first class dining experience with a more casual vibe. There is no smoke and mirrors here - no fuss - just simple, honest, from the heart service and cooking. The beauty of the creek side location is mirrored by the high energy vibe of this dynamic restaurant.

    Had a great meal at Tavernetta Vail! Our server Denni was wonderful, she made great recommendations. Highlights were pastas (mafaldine and rigatoni) and the tiramisu. We will definitely come back on our next trip to Vail!

    Lancelot’s is one of the original Vail restaurants. There is a reason they have been in business all these years. The food is excellent and always consistent. While they are known for their prime rib, two of us had fish, one person had veal and the fourth had the best filet I have ever tasted! Upon arrival, the owner greets you and is very friendly and accommodating (someone came in and did not have a reservation yet he helped them out). Our server, Nina, was absolutely delightful and helped make our experience very enjoyable.

    Very good experience. The gondolas were not cold because they are heated, so it was a great time. The food was great and it came on time. It was a prefixed meal so it was perfect for the experience. However, the desserts were not good at all. Very plain and simple. But expensive.
