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.

Service was great, but food and drinks weren't up to what I thought would be "Vail" quality.

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.
