Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Matsuhisa Vail offers a remarkable dining experience with "outstanding food" and "excellent service." Guests rave about dishes like the black miso cod and truffle tuna. The ambiance is enhanced by views of Vail's ski slopes. While some found it noisy, the "creative and fresh menu" and attentive staff make it a must-visit.

We had a beautiful birthday celebration. Our table was in a semi private alcove with view of the main dining room, with an open fire pit nearby for warmth on this chilly night. We had an excellent meal delivered with attentive and comfortable service. It was an exquisite birthday celebration , one that our family will always remember!
