We came here to celebrate my son's birthday and called ahead to make sure bringing a cake wouldn't…read morebe a problem. We were told they'd happily serve it for $2 per person. Great! Easy. Fast forward to cake time... and suddenly no one knows who told us that, and the fee is now a flat $35. Apparently the $2 per person policy vanished into thin air. The manager also explained that it's "illegal" to serve outside cake -- but they'd be willing to bend the rules for the upgraded price. Nothing says birthday celebration like a little mystery fee and light legal confusion. Between the cake issue and the pretty mediocre food, it wasn't quite the experience we had in mind. Had we known the real policy, we would've picked another spot.

A week-long getaway to Vail Valley during shoulder season proved delightful, and Fattoria, which we…read morevisited TWICE, was the highlight. When we stepped in, the manager, looking a bit like The Dude in shorts and flip-flops, admonished us: "You walk in with a party of eight without a reservation and you expect to just get a table?" There was a pause. "Of course you get a table. It's mud season. We're so thrilled to have you!" The food, especially the lobster ravioli, polenta appetizer, and the Italian beef sandwich (that last one at happy hour) was fab, and the servers were all funny and personable. This will be our regular haunt when we're in town.

My friend and I were looking for a unique spot for a girls night in Vail. We found this cute spot…read moreonline. They have the cutest spritz window experience on the 3rd floor of the Four Seasons. It was such a fun, different way to kick off the night! Price: Around $18 per drink. With a tip, you're looking at about $20-$25. My opinion going out to get a drink is expensive but it's Vail! If you go to Vail you know things will cost more. I personally think it was worth it and would come back. Customer Service: The service was great! You just ring the bell at the window and someone comes to help you pretty quickly. They were very kind and efficient. Atmosphere: It's very relaxing. We sat outside in their outdoor patio area which had a fire pit and seating. It was the perfect spot to just sit, talk, and get to catch up with each other. Drinks: I got the Barca Spritz, which is a blood orange flavor. It was refreshing and cute. My friend got the Limoncello Spritz, which she really enjoyed. Overall Experience: This was such a fun hidden gem moment for our girls night. I would definitely go back just for the drinks and the outdoor patio fire! Pro Tip: A huge bonus for this location is the parking! You can park for free after 3 PM at a nearby lot the S. Frontage Rd. East garage right nearby. I'll definitely be back!

The food was decent, especially the lamb ragu, but the beef carpaccio and lobster pasta fell flat. The dishes did not have the same complexity as they did in Denver.

I probably would not order the lamb again although the lamb sausage part of the dish was amazing, I think other items on the menu might have been a better choice. Cocktails and service were great but be careful if you order something magical, it comes in a unicorn cup. I was glad my wife ordered it and not me, lol. Not pictured is a Hamachi Crudo appetizer, which was very tasty. The sticky toffee pudding cake reminded me of desserts. I've had another nice restaurants - they made it special for us without the peanut brittle and I bet it is even better with the brittle. The ambience in the restaurant was perfect with light background music, and the hum of people's conversation yet you couldn't distinctly overhear a singular conversation and could easily converse with your table.

Lively and loud bar but most hotspot bars are. Restaurant Reservations especially on a weekend or special event required, I'd say. Service was prompt, attentive and professional. Would I go back? For sure

Believe the reviews: GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!…read more The only reason we ended up here was because our first option, Alpenrose, was closed (even though Yelp said it was open today - take note, they are closed on Mondays). Then our second option, The Vintage, was closing for brunch (Yelp failed us again and told us that they're open until 9:00 PM). Everything here is wildly expensive. Which we normally don't mind if the quality is there. Do not be fooled by the scratch made pasta. The pasta is bland. For reference, and before we get into how lackluster the food was, note that they CHARGE TO SPLIT PLATES. They charge $6 to split a small and $10 to split a large plate. You're better off just ordering something between $10 and $15 and getting something for your money. They also automatically charge you 3% for cost of living and the only option for gratuity is 20% (or custom). People come here for the patio ambiance not the food or service. Our waiter was barely at our table. We needed a refill on our water and it never came. We needed more Parmesan and we had to ask another waitress after waiting 10 minutes. The tagliatelle with truffle butter was a dud. It's butter with noodles. The truffle pulled through too much and the butter was not salted. We added a bunch of Parmesan to give it some flavor. Even then, we left half of it behind. The chicken panini was just ok but better than the pasta. The focaccia is made fresh and was the standalone highlight of both meals. PASS ON THIS PLACE. There are so many better eats in Vail.
