Mountain Standard

Oh.My.Lord! Amazing!!! We went for dinner 12/5 while up at Vail. Charles, one of the managers, was thoughtful, checked to see how our experience was…it was second-to-none! The restaurant is beautiful, love the open kitchen, the staff—kind, informative, attentive. But the food! Next level!! The pork shank is the best pork I’ve ever had . . . wow! Charles told us the lengthy process it takes to make that, so delicious! The clam chowder was exceptional; they smoke the clams before putting in the chowder. That slight smoky flavor made this the best chowder I’ve ever tasted!
In summary, beautiful restaurant, great customer service and outstanding food!! Go!! You won’t be disappointed.

Definitely their menu is very limited and for me their food does not taste good.

AMAZING!! My husband and I went here for our anniversary while in Vail, and it happened to be our last night there and boy did it live up to its hype!! Staff…amazing! Ambiance…dreamy! And food…oh the food…was SO delightful! Highly recommend the Baba ghanoush and lamb appetizers, they have one of the most beautiful and tastiest wedge salads I’ve ever seen, and absolutely delicious pork chop to finish it out. One of the better dining experiences I have had not only in Vail, but out of anywhere we’ve been!

Holy moly. So delicious. Husband and I came here for an anniversary dinner. Food is phenomenal. We ordered basically everything on the raw menu (100% worth it), salmon dip (yes, yes, yes) and two meals (we are foodies okay). Oh and a dessert (not getting on the scale for 5 days). We are already planning our return trip back! We don't even ski at Vail, but will be returning to the town just for this restaurant though we live over 100 miles away north of Denver. Thank you Mountain Standard crew!! Y'all rock.

Mountain Standard made our wedding night dinner celebration an experience to remember! The food was all incredible. Highly recommend the wedge salad, pimento cheese appetizer, pork shank, and stuffed shells. Service was wonderful! Loved the open kitchen and cozy mountain vibes. We will definitely be back!

The atmosphere and service left quite a bit to be desired. We were celebrating a birthday and the waitress didn’t seem interested or have any well wishes or words. The food was okay but lacking a bit in flavor. Definitely not worth the experience for us and I honestly regret spending my birthday here. The pork shank was good. Everything else was average or below.

Food and drinks were delicious, and the service was great.

One distraction was the lighting. One overhead was too bright and shined down on us like a spotlight.

Service was awesome, great staff recommendations. The bone in pork dish was our favorite, but everything was delicious! Cocktails were perfect, good selection of spirits. The old fashioned with their restaurant selected Elijah Craig bourbon was the best I’ve had in my memory! Wonderful indoor and outdoor space. Will definitely come back next time we’re back in town!

The service was average and unremarkable. The food was decent, but felt overpriced for what we received.
