29 Best American Restaurants in Vail

“The best restaurant in Vail!“

“the food was amazing. So fresh and delicious. The staff was equally impressing with great attitude and professionalism“

“We have this experience two summers as we had a new waiter the first time but same waiter this time. Our order took over an hr to get and the waiter came back after 45 min wait to tell us our 15 month child menu was not available. How could they not know when we ordered from children's menu. Unexceptionable! Then after over hr food came but one did not receive her smash burger. That is inexcusable! Waiter then came back to apologize. The manager was very polite and comp our meal. We actually liked the food we finally got which is sad. We will not try it again from two experiences the same.“

“Love hanging out at the George! Any season throughout the year is a good time here. Great selection of beers and the redbull slushies are great too. Bar service is quick even when they get a little busy. The food at this bar is top notch. My favorite go to is definitely the duck and mushroom quesadilla. Its a great snack if your really hungry or a decent meal if not! Ski season Après The George is the place to be. Find it down the stairs and enjoy some damn good food and drinks.“

“The service was exceptional, beyond expectations for any restaurant, more on par with a private club.

The food was amazing, we had a large party and passed plates, the escargot, BBQ’d oysters, shrimp and artichoke appetizers were all amazing, the escargot was better than any I have had traveling in France.

Dinner was equally exceptional, the scallops were amazing and my wife’s Black Cod was also exceptional.

The wine list is one of the best I have seen, the wines are not chosen by popularity or label but by taste and quality. There are some great values!

Overall excellent service and even better food and they really did go beyond expectations to accommodate a large party of 10!“

“On the receipt it said our server was Raul. He was awesome and made an iced espresso that my girlfriend thought was much better than Starbucks. The coffee creation was on the house… even the second one. The breakfast was very good and priced fairly. Because of it all, left a little over 50% tip and happy. Well done.“

“As usual an excellent meal.“

“The reception desk was very friendly and welcoming. Our server was the best. He brought everything as ordered including all the extras. He checked back with us several times to make sure that we were satisfied and asked if we needed anything else. The food was outstanding. We ordered a pasta dish with lamb shank, which was delicious beyond words. Beautifully prepared and so savory. The ambience was lively with a good vibe. We went back today for lunch, which was excellent! Definitely on our list of favorites.“

“I had one 5-star experience and one 2-star experience.

The 2-star experience was mostly awful service... We only got our first drinks around 2 mins before we were given the cheque. Food was delivered wrong. Only saw the server once until we complained after food was delivered.

5-star experience was amazing the server was the best I've had in years. Charismatic, helpful, attentive. Pizza with honey wasn't a good decision. But was great food for everyone else.“

“I was pretty disappointed this season with the limited options this time. The food is served apparently only some days.. then there's no wait staff I guess anymore, and as much as this place suppose to be bumpin' for any apres ski time they decide to close at 4pm or so.. blew my mind.. absolutely the most prime real estate .. the way its ran I guarantee they're hitting less than 50% of its potential revenue! [It's a very obvious observation] no entertainment just self order line. Please be better.. make Vail resorts $$ so ppl don't need to pay $300 day for skiing“

“Fabulous fun people and service at Mid Vail!!! The Beach @ Vail ��“

“Hidden gem that we discovered years ago after bowling with our entire family. Good food, and service great and recently introduced Sandman Karaoke which was so fun to watch. We had a very enjoyable evening with friends but very family oriented place as well and food yummy without breaking the bank. Tacos best ever!“

“Amazing place. Classic Vail. Highly recommended.“

“Best views , Best Deal in Vail. Ugh I hate to even publish this ....because I have shared this with all of you. Please don't tell anyone .... locals favorite. Kristen thank you for always welcoming us and remembering us we'll be back tomorrow!“

“This place is a hidden gem, as it’s located away from the center of Vail village, inside of a mountain lodge. Spacious, rustic interior creates a cozy ambiance featuring floor to ceiling windows and a stone fireplace. The food is amazing - a combination of French and American mountain cuisine. The portions are big and great for sharing.“

“Great staff and food. The supper clubs were amazing“

“Me and my family visited Gessner last weekend for dinner while staying at Grand Hyatt. The ambiance is really nice, very classy with those mountain views, but the food was a bit hit and miss :(

We ordered the chicken breast, which I was really looking forward to. The meat quality was good, no doubt, but it was lacking that punch of flavor. it felt a bit bland, like they forgot to add something.

My wife got the pesto pasta, which was better, but still too dry for our liking. It had good flavor, but needed more sauce to make it perfect.

Service was excellent.

The presentation of dishes was nice, though, and the place is super clean and fancy.

Overall, it was above average.“

“The veggie chili is very yummy and filling after a morning of skiing. Can add corn, onions, and hot sauce. They used to serve it over a baked potato too but sadly not anymore. There is also a quinoa/bean burger, but unknown if this is vegan. Items are only listed as vegetarian on the menu. They also sell bobo’s bars and a few other vegan snacks if you look.“

“Great place to meet for larger groups. New seasonal menu, tasty fare, friendly servers. Bartender Frank was very attentive, ask Tyler about his new drink, "Camp Fire Mule, and Isabel always happy to serve you.

Vegetarian options: Falafel“

“I’ve been to Mountain Standard on a number of occasions and have never been disappointed with anything i’ve ordered. The appetizer biscuits are a comfort to me and one of my favorite starters ever. Earlier today I tried the Cubano sandwich and it was genuinely life changing. I haven’t stopped thinking about how I may never have a sandwich as good again.“

“The food is beyond exquisite, the environment , the views, the service, the options, everything amazing 💯.“

“Favorite local spot for dinner drinks and all the right laid-back Colorado vibes you can handle. When I worked in Vail this is the spot everyone would go after work for food and drinks and if the locals love it you know it's good. If you're visiting Vail in the summer, winter, or ever the October mud season when everyone's gone, you HAVE to try Garfs at least once. You won't regret it.“

“Grabbed an iced chai latte on break, it was refreshing. The barista was very friendly, even when guests came in for ice cream, which is next door, she'd point them in the right direction and tell them to enjoy their ice cream. This place can get packed quickly, but afternoon in the summer are quite pleasant.“

“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.“

“We made this our special dinner for our time in Vail...and Elways did not disappoint. I had the short rib, and it was literally the best I've ever had. Fall apart tender, great tasting au jus, awesome creamy horse radish sauce. We also had the halibut. Not cheap...but the food, service, and atmosphere were perfect.“

“Located at the top of Gondola 19 in Lionshead, Eagle’s Nest has several eateries for skiers and riders. The food here is good, although expensive. Over the past two years, the menu options and quality have improved significantly.There is a good bar on the first floor, Bistro 14. This use to be a restaurant, but post-COVID, it is just a bar.“

“Pleased to find a vacant table and immediately offered choice of drinks, followed by a waitress to take our order. Lovely selection of food options and delivered just as ordered. Bottomless cups of coffee and also glass of water supplied to each.“

“We stopped by the Fitz Bar + Bites after the concert at the amphitheater. They (Vail) were also hosting the Jazz Festival so they had an exceptional jazz improv going on. We snacked on cheese bites and other munchies while enjoyed the outstanding music. What a phenomenal weekend of talent, music and food.“
