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.

We absolutely loved this restaurant! We love how laid back but very nice the ambience was. Great place to grab drinks and eat an appetizer or have a good nice dinner. The margarita was amazing! All of the appetizers looked amazing, we got the pimento cheese dip which was incredible but wish we tried the wagyu starter. For dinner we had the pork shank and Tri-dip, both outstanding.

Been there several times. Food is not as consistent as it should be. We were there 1 month ago and I had the Santa Maria Tri Tip, which was excellent. Ordered the same dish again last night and tasted completely different. My wife had the Salmon which was supposed to have dates, she found one small date. We had a reservation and they sat us in a dark corner. Disappointing this go around. There is better elsewhere in Vail.

Excellent food. We started with the warm pimento cheese. There was enough for 4 people to share. We had wedge salads. One served two people. The tri tip was outstanding and one dish served two people. The ambience has a nice vibe. Highly recommend checking it out for a drink or dinner/drinks!

Enjoyed lunch here. Food was good . Had the lamb gyro. Would have liked it better if it didn’t drip all over. Sauce was too runny. The salad was good but too much dressing.
