It’s the kind of pie that keeps you coming back after just one slice. On top of that, the bartenders here are some of the friendliest and most skilled around. They’ve got the perfect balance of speed, personality, and great recommendations whether you’re after a craft beer, a cocktail, or just something simple. Between the food, the drinks, and the atmosphere, Vendetta’s nails it every time. A true Vail classic.“

“Amazing food and the atmosphere is cozy and private. We have the Bruschetta Pomodoro, Ceasar salad and 2 different Veal dishes. All the food was delicious and fresh. Highly recommend giving them a try.“

“Our family of 4 ate at Sauce on the Creek a few nights ago and loved it! Our waiter Scott was wonderful and super attentive. The food was delicious! We started with the shrimp scampi, scallops Florentine, and fried ravioli, then ordered some house bread to dip in the sauces - yum! Kids had fettuccine alfredo and another order of fried ravioli, my husband had the spicy shrimp spaghetti, and I had the eggplant parm, which was some of the best I've ever had! Hoping to visit again before we leave town!“

“We were a larger party that increased in size at the last minute and Citrea handled the change flawlessly.

The heirloom tomato and tuna tataki appetizers were particularly good.

The halibut was slightly dry but tasty. My seat mate had the pappardelle and he enjoyed it.

The mixed berry sorbet was terrific.“

“We really love their pizza. They also introduced a desert pizza that was one of the tastiest desserts ever created. Highly recommend it!“
