Terrific food, good service and lovely setting. It's a bit off the beaten track in Vail but worth it. On the higher side price wise but it's vail.

Maybe I just need to stop using Open Table. I tried to sign my family up for an “experience” yesterday at one of their listed places. This Vail Manor had a nice advertisement (totally AI) and I fell for it. I thought I was driving my kids and husband all the way from Colorado Springs for an “experience.” Instead we got an empty dining room with chafing dishes. Food that was prepared hours before our arrival and kept warm for our choosing! Then I was charged $50/head. My kids were so disappointed and usually they are easy to please. The best part of my dining experience was my alcoholic beverage. It was also weird, part of it was frozen in my glass and I had to wait for it to melt for the full effect. Our server was good, but we were his only table and the food was buffet style. Never again! Open Table needs to do a better job vetting!

This place is a hidden gem, as it’s located away from the center of Vail village, inside of a mountain lodge. Spacious, rustic interior creates a cozy ambiance featuring floor to ceiling windows and a stone fireplace. The food is amazing - a combination of French and American mountain cuisine. The portions are big and great for sharing.

Amazing experience. The food was fantastic, the place is nice and the service very good. We will definitively go back !

Decent place and good food. They got the kids' food out quickly. There were not enough servers working for a very large number of customers. It took 2 hours +/- for 7 adults and 3 kids to be served complete meal. 40 min for cocktails to arrive. Slow..slow service. Nice people.

Fantastic dinner experience. Service was excellent. Cocktails were spot on and our meal was superb. The group had steak and lamb chops that was cooked to perfection. Convenient underground free parking , would most definitely go back .

The food was good, but the service was abysmal! Waited 25 minutes just to get a glass of water! Then, our food cam out at 3 different times. All this for a restaurant that wants a $50/person deposit! Oh, and there's no point in talking to the manager, he wasn't helpful at all.

This was a great undiscovered place. No in Vail village, but it is easy to get to via village shuttle or car with free parking. Great space, and fantastic food. The service was excellent. We will go back again.

UPDATE: to add insult to injury these yahoos charged 1 of our party for the entire bill AND each of us for our portion. Great, so we have to deal with the credit card companies. What incompetence!We ate dinner here with a group of 8. The easy, free parking and quiet atmosphere were the best parts of the meal. I will not be going back though, because the food was decidedly average despite the high prices, and the kids meal was ridiculously bad.First of all we arrived in two batches. The first got a drink order in and were served relatively promptly. We arrived about 5 minutes later and were seriously ignored by the wait staff for the next 20 minutes. I’m not joking. My son even stopped the waitress and asked for a sprite, and was told she would return, but she didn’t. I finally had to flag down a bus boy, and even then the waitress didn’t come over. OMG I was mad at that point. $$$$ restaurants should have passable food AND passable service. This was not that. When she finally came to take a drink order we were given attitude. Whatever.So, the food was OK. The bone marrow was disappointing because they served it with this weird sweet Hawaiian bread which obliterated the subtle buttery flavor of the marrow, and was too soft to mop up the juices.The kids meal was ridiculously bad. For $15 they didn’t have an option of a vegetable side, and the buttered pasta was so mushy and undersalted that my kid wouldn’t eat it. So he had some of my pasta, which at $29 was way oversized and frankly poorly seasoned as well.I ordered the same dish as this reviewer. It looked nothing like this. It was way more sauce than pasta, no herbs on top, very little cheese, definitely no cheese on the edge of the bowl, all just mushed down in the bowl. They do not have consistency within their kitchen.
Just abysmal service all around- from getting seated, to being (non)served, to wait time. It's as if a bunch of dilettantes decided to open a restaurant. The food was good, at least what we ordered (mushroom strudel, burata, halibut, and scallops), but for the price that is charged the whole experience was just a major bust. Waste of an evening...

Very nice place. Easy to get to via the shuttle. Great ambience, and attentive wait staff. Food was excellent.

This is a 1-star restaurant that pretends to be a 5-star restaurant. $50. 00 pp reservation fee, must cancel 24 hours ahead. (one review pleaded to cancel due to illness, but they did not allow). We arrived at 6:00, on time for our reservation. Took 10 minutes to seat us in an almost empty space. At 6:30 we had to flag someone down to get WATER!!! We're skiers! We are thirsty!! Ordered bottle of nice wine, they had no decanter. (no one ever came to pour after 1st time.). Ordered a lemonade-type drink. Would bet my life there was no alcohol in it. Definitely "lemonade". Asked for order of bread: "no one eats it anymore, everyone is gluten-free". No bread. Ordered dinner after we tracked down our waiter again. Brought 3 meals for the 4 of us. Again, had to track down waiter for our 4th meal!!! The halibut was so dry you could barely swallow it. (did credit us for that!). Never checked with us after food served. Wait- person asked the manager to speak with us: Brian, I believe. After he asked was the problem was, we only got to the first 2 things. He immediately began defending the poor service, as a child was sick and they had to clean up.....???? How many people and how long does that take?? Said they were short staffed and a few other excuses. My husband basically told me to stop wasting my breath because he didn't care about us. He then walked away in a huff.....yes, he did NOT CARE ABOUT US. NOT AN WHISPER OF AN APOLOGY. They are located in a hotel...I asked if maintenance could have cleaned up, not the wait staff. He said "no", don't have any maintenance.... If I had read the reviews, I would have seen that this is what many other diners experienced. Sounds like they just have excuses, no solutions, nor do they care. Beautiful space. I predict a less than great experience at this restaurant. Suggest you go elsewhere.

Really excited to visit this Resturant , the former Lord Gore, which was recently renovated . Not really hungry ordered mushroom streusel, the appetizer. While dissecting it looking for mushrooms, not just fullers , I found a piece of plastic , like the corner of a baggie cut off. The waitress took it to the Manager who took it off the bill and apologized . I didn't want anything else to eat there..... Disappointed because I had such wonderful memories of the place.

Our waitress was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about both the food and the wine. We shared the rack of lamb appetizer, which was excellent and had short ribs and halibut as the mains, again absolutely delicious. The room is beautiful with a nice cozy fire and huge windows. Highly recommend.
