Took us over 1 hour to get food. There were 6 of us. One got his food 30 min before anyone else. Then the rest of the food came except 1. Took another 20 min to get his food. Ridiculous when everyone was trying to get back out to ski before lifts closed.

Despite having a booked reservation, we were seated at a bar high top table even when most of the restaurant had empty dining tables. Service was mediocre with the waiter not even checking on us and food and the steak ordered was cooked wrong.

The Calabrian chicken wings were very tasty and the Australian bass was perfectly seasoned. Not crowded and a little less pricey than most other Vail restaurants.

Food was very average. Disappointing since location is excellent. Better place for apres ski drinks and snacks than a place for a good meal.

The food was excellent, the service was slow. He restaurant was packed with people so maybe they were understaffed for the night. We had a great time but waited for our drinks for a 20min and food order an additional 20min after that. Loved the place and the food, will go back and hope for better service. :)
