enjoy. First, I urge anyone reading this to go to other restaurants unless you specifically want a fondue experience. Second, I have written many reviews, and this is unfortunately one of the very few where I had to give a 2-star rating. Swiss Chalet failed to meet expectations and left my husband and me not only disappointed but outraged. While the cocktails and wine are commendable and the complimentary pretzel bread and butter were enjoyable (reason for the 2-star), the real food was a disaster. The Käsespätzle appetizer was far too heavy. We split the Zwiebelsuppe (equivalent to French Onion Soup), which cost an additional $5 to split (without being disclosed). The bread in the soup was burnt, there wasn't enough cheese, and it was excessively sweet and salty. I dare say that the frozen French Onion Soup from Costco might be superior. My husband ordered the Wiener Schnitzel Vom Kalb (Veal Schnitzel), and I had the Züricher Geschnetzeltes (Veal dish with mushrooms and round hash browns). Both dishes were absolutely terrible. My husband's veal was exceedingly dry, and my veal in mushroom sauce was unappealing, with the Rosti being worse than hash browns I had at another restaurant for breakfast. We were charged $223 for this subpar meal. The server's attitude shifted dramatically once we expressed our dissatisfaction; no alternative dishes were offered. This lack of service added to our outrage. We felt deceived into ordering unfamiliar dishes with no recourse for our dissatisfaction. We did not try the fondue, so I cannot comment on its quality. However, if you are seeking a fondue experience, this place might still be worth a try. For those looking for quality food, I strongly suggest exploring other dining options in Vail.

Wonderful as always. It has been a Carnes family tradition for 25+ years. Plus, I visited with my parents in my 20"s.
