    Service sucks. Waited 15 minutes after being seated even to take a drinks order. Lobster bisque good. Elk chops good. Duck swimming in marmalade, meh.

    The food was average, and the service was mediocre. We were seated at the bar which was what we had expected but the bartender was rude and demeaning which set a poor atmosphere for a night out. For the price point I would have expected a lot more - service and food included. I am a humble person who enjoys quality service and food. This experience failed to provide rudimentary service, and the food could have been easily sought out at other lower priced venues.

    The Left Bank opened in Vail in 1970 and I first dined there with my wife in 1971. There are so many excellent dining establishments in the Vail Valley but The Left Bank has remained at the head of the class ever since it opened. There has been one change in ownership but no change in excellence. I never miss a chance to dine at The Left Bank each year I come to Vail, which has now been over 55 years. Many special dishes have remained as features on the menu such as the salmon and caviar blinis , the classic onion soup which is as good as any you will find in Paris, the endive and pommes salad, the seafood vol au vents, the Dover Sole, the chocolate and the lemon soufflés to name just some of my favorites. There are typically quite a few special menu items offered each evening. This is world class level dining. Service is impeccable and the ambience is excellent. If you can only get seating in the bar lounge, go ahead and take it. Same menu, same attentive service, cozy setting. Best of the best!
