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!”

Tavernetta Vail 1 Vail Rd, Vail Italian • $$$$

“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.”

“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????”

Found it shortly after checking into Lift House with our pups after a ~2.5 hour drive from Denver and just wanted a quick drink in a casual spot. We were delighted to see this pub basically right down stairs, especially since we didn’t want to stray far while our dogs got settled. Immediately loved the atmosphere! Definitely try their Sangria… it’s not too sweet or too bitter or too fruity. Old Fashioned was just OK.”

“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!”

“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!”

Revel 715 W Lionshead Cir, Vail American • $$$$

“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!”

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????”

Left Bank Restaurant 183 Gore Creek Dr, Vail French • $$$$

“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.”

Tavernetta Vail 1 Vail Rd, Vail Italian • $$$$

“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.”

Bully Ranch Restaurant 20 Vail Rd, Vail American • $$

“Not sure why this place is a 4.3…..it should be much higher! Staff was fantastic - showed up with two unhappy campers, and the wait staff immediately asked if we wanted to order the kids’ food. I very much appreciate any restaurant who understands the challenges of dealing with hungry children. The food was fantastic, the drinks were great - just an overall positive and lovely experience. Will visit again!!”

Vendettas Restaurant 291 Bridge St, Vail Italian • $$

“If you are looking for a hearty Italian meal to take back to your place after a full day in Vail, Vendettas Restaurant on Bridge Street is a very popular option to consider. We decided to get our dinner to go, and the ordering process was quick and efficient. However, waiting for the food inside the restaurant was a bit uncomfortable because it was incredibly hot inside the building. On a warm afternoon or evening, the indoor dining room can trap a lot of heat, which makes standing around waiting for a takeout order feel pretty stifling. If you are ordering during peak dinner hours when the kitchen is running at full blast and the space is crowded, you might want to step outside into the village air for a few minutes while they finish packaging up your meal.
Despite the stuffy wait inside, the food itself was packed exceptionally well and stayed completely fresh for the trip home. They line their takeout containers with heavy aluminum foil, which does an amazing job of insulating the dishes and keeping them piping hot. We ordered the fettuccine alfredo and a hearty pasta with red meat sauce and fresh basil. Both portions were generous and tasted great. The alfredo was creamy and rich without being too heavy, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The red sauce pasta had an excellent depth of flavor, and the fresh ribbons of basil on top added a nice, bright contrast to the savory meat sauce.
Getting takeout from here is definitely a solid choice if you want restaurant-quality comfort food in the comfort of your own space. The foil packaging ensures that your pasta will still be warm and delicious by the time you sit down to eat it. Just keep in mind that the interior temperature can get quite warm while you wait, so being prepared for a quick, hot pickup is part of the experience. It is a dependable spot for a satisfying Italian dinner in the village, and the quality of the food makes it worth a visit.”
