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.

Great place with very good food. Menu is limited but that's usually a good thing in my opinion…read more This is a Michelin acknowledged place, but food was not as spectacular as I would have thought. Still very good though. 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

For the second half of our girls night, my friend picked Root & Flower. The atmosphere is…read morebeautifully elevated, making it the perfect sophisticated spot to continue a long conversation. Price: Expect standard Vail pricing for high-end cocktails, with most drinks ranging between $16-$20. Customer Service: The service was fantastic. The staff was incredibly kind and efficient; even though we stayed for quite a while to catch up, we felt welcomed and well-attended to the entire night. Atmosphere This spot has a cool, welcoming vibe that feels very safe. It's the kind of environment where you can really settle in and enjoy the company you're with. The Drinks I ordered the Sangre del Sol. The flavor was amazing, though be warned it is very strong! It's an excellent choice if you enjoy a cocktail with a serious kick, but I ended up letting my friend finish mine after a few sips. Overall Experience I highly recommend Root & Flower for a beautiful setting and top-tier service. Pro Tip: A huge bonus for this location is the parking! You can park for free after 3 PM at the S. Frontage Rd. East garage right nearby. I'll definitely be back!

What a fun fun fun cocktail bar! We were up in Vail for a wedding weekend with friends, and…read morestumbled upon this cocktail bar after the rehearsal dinner. It was pretty quiet (still off-season), and my husband and I were the only ones there when we walked in around 10. We sat at the bar and had a lovely conversation with Jeremy; I ordered the Gingerbread Man (take on an old fashioned with brown butter washed bourbon, and my husband got the "50 Shades of Green" - definitely one of the most unique cocktails we've ever tried! The description "arugula infused gin, yogurt washed aquavit with Pandan herbs & lime" - it had everything - some sour, some umami, some sweet from the Pandan - what a fun and unique cocktail. Shortly after we walked in, a huge group of 10-12 women walked in followed by some other groups shortly after them. It was a really fun atmosphere and both cocktails were 10/10.

Additionally, we really wanted to sit outside (the summer day was beautiful, the river was running, flowers blooming...) and the bar staff went out of their way to make this happen. We had beautiful martinis (a MUST with steak tar tar!) Everything was so great, we ordered a second round. We plan to go back again before our week long trip is over as this was a truly amazing & delicious meal.

Finished out my trip to Vail with a great dinner at Slope Room. We had 7 adults and 3 young kids…read more We started with the Heirloom Cornbread, Hamachi Crudo, and Scallops + Gnocchi. While they were all good, the Crudo was definitely my favorite along with the table's. For my entree, I split the Bone In Bison Rib Eye. It was cooked perfectly. I also split the Brussel Sprouts and Mac & Cheese sides. The Brussels were amazing. Our server, Jackie, was incredibly personable and made our experience amazing. If you are looking for a nice dinner in Vail, definitely check out the Slope Room.

This is the other, more traditional Thoma restaurant in Vail Village. It is located at the…read morefountain up stairs (elevator is available). The ambiance is definitely Alpen with wood floor, walls and ceiling. I hold a college reunion here every year and we go for the raclette grills with an abundance of cheeses, vegetables and fine meats. Lots of fun experimenting cooking techniques. Usually on Thursday a trio of musicians come and play Alpen music. Probst

I want to give kudos for a very friendly, attentive staff. However, the cheese fondue dinner was a…read morecomplete disappointment. The amount of fondue was absolutely paltry, especially given it was supposed to serve two people and cost $80. We had a nearly full basket of bread remaining after eating all the cheese. They also provided boiled potatoes and blanched vegetables to dip in the cheese along with dried fruit but that only made the meager cheese situation worse. It was more appetizer sized and even the fondue itself was bland and lackluster with no flavors of kirsch, wine, or other seasonings. We had to go somewhere else to actually get dinner. I appreciate the waiter discounting our meal to try and make up for it. The portions of the other entrees looked good so maybe go here for those and skip the fondue.

Bully Ranch has great food and drinks. It hails as a casual dining restaurant but when we first…read morearrived, I totally felt underdressed. The decor has an upper class, lodge-like feel (beautiful fireplace, exposed wood beams and rustic floors) and the diners were dressed in very tailored and tweedy country wear. Our waitress was very friendly and took our orders swiftly and we were served our meals in the same respect. Their pizza is made in a stone fired oven and is delish (get the Margherita). Also, I definitely recommend their tomato soup for a lighter dining option. Located at the Sonnenalp Vail, around the corner from valet.
