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.

Delicious brunch with bottomless mimosas. Foie gras and the beignets were delish and the breakfast was divine. Did I mention the bottomless mimosas. Definitely hit this spot at least once on your trip to Vail. Only open for brunch Fridays-Mondays during peak season.

Top notch in every category. Food is fantastic. Service goes beyond a great experience. They even accommodated our 6 month old at the table; this would create anxiety for many other restaurants but the staff was still every bit as exceptional as Matsuhisa’s reputation commands.

Alpenrose was just as charming as I imagined! Friendly servers, great decor and ambiance and great food! We shared the fondue appetizer-very tasty with a good flavor (not too strong but authentic!) as well as the schnitzel, a couple house salads (a great salad actually) and the apfel strudel. Everything was delicious, it’s a bit pricey for what it is but still worth the experience.

Excellent dinner tonight with our kids! Very family-friendly place. Fantastic food options for kids, great service, very good food, and wonderful ambiance. Meal also moved along at a good pace which is helpful with little ones. And they have coloring/crayons for kids. We will definitely return when we're back at Vail next year!!
