From the creators of Sweet Basil in Vail Colorado comes a fresh, innovative new restaurant opening December 2012. Aptly named Mountain Standard, this rustic and relaxed tavern aims to set a new standard in the Vail valley by using an ancient form of cooking.The majority of Mountain Standard’s menu will be prepared via the most primal cooking method: over an open and live wood fire. The only restaurant in the valley to devote themselves to this age-old way of cooking, the food at this exciting new restaurant will have rustic, bold and honest flavors, focusing on the purest ingredients in the Rocky Mountain region and beyond.Service, like the cuisine, will have that perfect balance of providing a first class dining experience with a more casual vibe. There is no smoke and mirrors here - no fuss - just simple, honest, from the heart service and cooking. The beauty of the creek side location is mirrored by the high energy vibe of this dynamic restaurant.

My daughter and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal here. We’re from out of town, and I didn’t know what to expect, but everything about the experience exceeded our expectations. The cocktail I had was phenomenal, and the “traditional” Thanksgiving dinner was delicious. My daughter’s truffle fries were among the best I’ve ever had. She went the untraditional Thanksgiving route and enjoyed her French dip sandwich. If I lived nearby, I would have to regularly have a fix of those truffle fries! Finally, the wait staff were thoughtfully available and helpful. I fully agree with a review I read about the overall “vibe” being great here. It’s an all-around happiness inducing spot.

The lights shining down on you are incredibly hot. It was like you were in a spotlight - almost unbearable. Good was amazing and it would’ve been a great experience if the lights were not shining down on you the entire time.
