25 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.“

“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!“

“When we arrived, we sat on the patio, but when the wind picked up, we moved into the dining room. The service was fantastic with good recommendations for food and drink, and we enjoyed the mountain scenery even from inside the restaurant. Plenty of parking, great bathrooms, and a good stop on our way home. I would definitely come here again!“

“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!“

“Valet parking was free just despite us just passing town. We were sat immediately, the service was immaculate, the menu was diverse and innovative. The food, despite being in a restaurant attached to a garage filled with Audis and Porsches, was extremely well priced and the best burger I've had in years.

I could not name a flaw of this experience, I wish I could do it 3 more times.“

“Sophia, hats off to you! She has a PhD in creating atmosphere and experiences. We enjoyed a stunning river view with beautiful scenery, but honestly, the service stole the show. Thanks for kickstarting our family holiday weekend with a memorable afternoon.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Had an amazing meal at Deca Bol sitting on the patio on a lovely summer evening. We had the Fungi Flatbread which was very flavorful with a contrast of salty and sweet with big chunks of mushrooms. The seared salmon with quinoa was outstanding. The flavor was unique and flavorful. My friend had the fish tacos with corn salsa which were delicious. The fish was pan seared and so we avoided the deep fry you sometimes find with fish tacos. The manager was welcoming and gracious.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“Zuma really set the bar for a fantastic dining experience! Every dish was a unique delight, bursting with flavor. Our server, Alex R., was incredibly friendly and made sure we had a smooth and enjoyable meal. The flow of the meal was impeccable.“

“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!“

“Like Nothing Else on Earth!!“

“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.“

“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?“

“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.“
