About Up the Creek

Located in Vail, Up the Creek offers exceptional outdoor dining with a view of the creek. The menu features a variety of delicious options such as chicken sandwich, mac and cheese, burger, turkey Brie sandwich, green salad with pomegranates and apples, and trout with bacon vinaigrette. Many customers praise the interesting, good quality food, including flavorful chicken enchiladas, arugula salad with pears, cranberries, candied nuts, and goat cheese, as well as clam chowder. The restaurant also serves dishes like crab cake, ahi salad, and smoked Gouda Mac, with the broth of tortilla soup being particularly praised. The seared duck with sweet potato and fig sauce, bone-in pork chop with bacon jam, and garlic mashed potatoes are highly recommended, although some find the broccolini lacking. Guests enjoy the cozy ambiance, the lovely sound of the creek, and attentive staff, making for a memorable experience. While the draft menu could have more variety, the restaurant provides excellent value and is known for its outdoor seating right on Gore Creek. It remains one of the top places for quality dining in Vail, especially for those who appreciate riverside views and good food.
