We loved this place. We hadn't been here before and have been visiting Vail for 23 years. So far no other restaurant in town has meet the food quality and outstanding flavor. The beautiful view superb bar drinks. We had the French onion soup, cornbread, chicken and steak frites with the pretzel and cheese dip. Amazing all the way around. We don't normally repeat restaurants in our week but we may this one! The waiter said it was quiet because the hotel was not busy but...
Ordered Colorado sea bass for two. Entree came as a whole fish on a platter with head and tail intact. No way at the table to parse it out. Had to send back to the kitchen to be filleted. Incredibly poor and impractical presentation. Taste not all that great either.
We chose the Gessner Strakhouse because it was convenient considering we were staying at the Grand Hyatt in Vail. It was a wonderful surprise! Galo, our server was amazing. He made suggestions that were out of our meat and potatoes, comfort zone, but we tried them and they were delicious. He was very attentive to our needs. We sat outside overlooking the river to complement our delicious meal. It was memorable, for sure.
