28 Best American Restaurants in Vail

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

“The best restaurant in Vail!“

“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.“

“I don’t think there is an institution better than 10th mountain division. Having come here for 10+ years, the drinks are great - the service is great (if you aren’t rude) - and extra kudos to Mark and Andy. Thanks for making every experience at Vail something special.“

“Fish and chips were spot on, crispy perfection! Sadly I can't get fish & chips like that anywhere else. The duck nachos were tasty and loaded with layers not just dumped on top. Erin our server was fun and polite too. I can't wait to get back up there!“

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

“Our Tampa Bay Ski Club has been having our group dinner there for years. Always excellent food and service!“

“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“

“My wife and I had a great experience here, even during a busy weekend with Oktoberfest and the Farmers Market happening simultaneously. Our server, Alvin, provided excellent service and offered helpful menu recommendations. The ribs were incredibly tender, the portions were generous, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We’ll definitely be back!“

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

“Our server Amanda was amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed all the staff and the food was delicious as well! Thanks for a wonderful experience!!! Pinot noir, Cajun shrimp, and wedge salad were 10/10!!! Highly recommend eating on the patio to enjoy river views and patio heaters!“

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

“A lovely spot, amazing view, and really nice staff!
The food was decent, I really didn’t expect it to be this huge as a starter though; the ice tea lemonade was so delicious and refreshing, and I was really surprised when the waiter refilled it! I mean it wasn’t anywhere on the menu.. Of course loved the gesture and appreciated it!“

“Was a little tired from skiing all day and needed a little caffeine boost to prepare for the evening ahead. The place was a little busy but the wait was not bad at all. I enjoyed an Iced Nutty Irishman. I asked them to dial back the syrup and it was great. The coffee they use is great and a little less flavoring helped the coffee flavor pop. Service was excellent. There was a guy working the counter alone and he did a great job of tending to everyone’s needs. I did not have food there but a couple customers were returning because they enjoyed the food the day before. They also serve beer in addition to coffee and other drinks. Inside seating is available with tables and a small bar area. There is also a really nice outdoor sitting area where you can do some people watching.“

“Two Elk is just Too Good! This is the model for mountaintop dining. Amazing view. Staff is attentive and very friendly. Food is great. It might seem expensive until you know that every single thing came up on a gondola and was transported on a snowcat. And there is a beer garden. Perfection.“

“Salvatore is the mixologist at Cucina at The Lodge at Vail and his creations are amazing!! This is his take on a Espresso Martini. The rose color is a rose petal sugar he makes in house. The roses are sourced from India. Amazing! Delicious!! #Espresso Martini, #Mixologist“

“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.“

“Awesome food , good atmosphere, great service and Family owned!!“

“Like Nothing Else on Earth!!“

“I came in for my friend’s birthday dinner and ordered a full 3 course meal and it was absolutely incredible. We ordered a revel reclette as an appetizer and it was perfectly cooked and had an elegant flavor profile. We each ordered a ribeye for dinner that was also perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Their signature cocktails were also flawlessly executed. We finished the meal off with a cheese cake and carrot cake and were treated to excellent service from not only our waitresses Kaja and Payton but also the manager, Chris, who had a very high level of professionalism and attentiveness. The new executive chef Doug has been updating the menu to great effect. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a high end dining experience in Vail Valley.“

“I've been skiing in Vail for awhile. If you don't ski, take the Gondola up and have a meal here. The views are amazing. While I understand everything is more expensive due to the logistics of getting it up the mountain, the prices here are even high for the mountain. That aside, great service and very good food plus the views make it a must visit.“

“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.“

“Update...we've dined at Gessner's dozens of times during our visits to the Grand Hyatt Vail. This is the main restaurant on property, they serve breakfast, apres, and dinner. We've mostly had breakfast and apres here over the years but all in all this is a great restaurant located within the hotel. The food is always solid and I think the service has gotten better throughout the years we have been visiting this establishment....

The food is outstanding at Gessner's. The restaurant is located in the Grand Hyatt, the restaurant and hotel are both stunningly beautiful. We like dining out in the lobby area after a long day of skiing, highly recommend!“

“The Fitz is a busy patio whenever there are shows at the Amp and this was the case on this night we went. They should have a better system worked out for the bar. We waited for over 10 to 15 minutes for our drinks. The waitress was super busy. Maybe have some more help on hand on busy nights?“

“We celebrated my husband's birthday at Elway's and it was fantastic! He got the New York strip steak. It was cooked perfectly and he ate every single bite! He also enjoyed the mashed potatoes. I had the house salad which was simply delicious. I also had the coconut shrimp. There were 3 huge shrimp with a tasty slaw which included cashews. They brought my husband a slice if dark chocolate cake for his birthday. It was a memorable meal!“

“Best Hickory Burger Ever!!! We were in town for a wedding & stopped in for a quick bite. The staff was super friendly & made us feel right at home! Can’t wait to fly back for another burger!“

“Many people booked outside seating as did we and then the rain started and everyone requested inside. The wait staff, hostess and every other employee hustled to get everyone seated in a short time. They did an amazing job. Food was tasty, limited selection but solid on flavor. Our server was wonderful. Tavern on the Square is always on our list for dining during our annual summer visits.“
