Beyond Sushi Thai 616 W Lionshead Cir, Vail Thai • $$

“We loved this restaurant so much! They have both good and authentic Chinese and Thai food. The sushi there was fresh and tasty. The sushi chef “Fei” even came to our table to ask about how we like the sushi when he was available. We talked a little bit and knowing that he has been working as a sushi chef for over 16 years. I would like to say my sushi was not only a dish but also an art work. I will recommend this restaurant to my friends if they come for skiing。”

“Food was great overall, and the ambiance was wonderful. The service was prompt and food arrived very quickly. The only thing that slightly disappointed me was the side salad as I was hoping for a more traditional Austrian or a German salad with pickled veggies and vinegarette. All the other food was delicious. We will definitely go back.”

Joy Sushi 2161 N Frontage Rd W #15, Vail Sushi • $$

“I would just like to clarify firstly for the business that I had put my name on the list to wait for a table and my name is “Bri”. When I went inside, I tried telling the gentlemen that I was just called for a table for 2 for Bri. I think he had mistaken that I had said a table for 3. I felt so bad because the lovely lady had a table ready for us already and there was just a slight confusion. I truly felt so bad realizing that the two words sounded pretty close to being the same.

ANYWAY, the sushi here is amazing! I will 100% be returning as a loyal customer, the yellow tail was absolutely amazing. Don’t listen to the reviews. For someone who misses my brother every day in Japan and always looks for a genuine Japanese sushi restaurants this is the spot to hit. Please take the chance to go and try their food. Hand rolls, sashimi, and speciality.

Their service here is fantastic as well. I enjoyed every second.”

Chris served us and it was great meeting him as a fellow East coaster! We ordered almost all of the burritos on the menu and were not disappointed! The smash burger was easily my favorite. 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!

It was exactly what I wanted and the bread specifically is amazing! Had a local feel to it. The plum sauce was good too. It is sweet, but not too much and goes well with the chicken (or the fries!)

Pivot 62 2211 N Frontage Rd W, Vail Bar • $$

“The bbq pizza was the best pizza I have ever had. The waiter was a little under par. He just wasn't as attentive to us as he was others. We ordered 2 beers he only brought one. And when we said we wanted 2. He had a attitude. But then apologized right before he brought the bill.”

Ludwig's Breakfast 20 Vail Road, Vail European • $$

“Excellent experience. I had the fish, it was like Arctic char, but had a different name. Very tasty. Also had an artichoke salad that was unique and excellent. Then they served strawberry cotton candy with chocolates! Then I had the three sorbets, with fruit. I got there early, so the atmosphere was quiet. The people were super friendly, including hostess, waiters,etc. Outside the restaurant is a piano bar, that was casual and cozy. I highly recommend this place.”

Garfinkel's 536 E Lionshead Cir, Vail Sports Bar • $$

“Cool place. Seated quick. Took a while for a waiter to grace our table. We both got burgers. They were ok. Performed patty. Probably a frozen one. Fries were weirdly crunchy. I don’t like limp fries but overly crunchy is just weird. I always prefer hand cut fries.”
