My sister & I visited Grouse Mtn Grill based on the other Yelp reviews. It exceeded our expectations! The restaurant Mgr, Tony McNally, spoke with all the guests and was delightful. The food was pleasing to the eye, perfect portions, and an explosion of flavor. We highly recommend the lamb ribs as the first course. The staff was very attentive, but not overbearing. A pleasant surprise was when the chef came out to speak with us. The whole experience was stress free, delicious, and enjoyable. This is a MUST DO! When in Beaver Creek or Avon. YUMMY!!! Plus as the sun sets, guests get to watch Elk, Deer, & an occasional Bear on the adjacent mountain. SPECTACULAR!!! read more

The entire experience was fantastic start to finish. The staff was friendly, knowledgable, and laid back. The service was wonderful, unobtrusive, yet first class. The food and wine was delicious. What a phenomenal wine list they have. read more

The best food and service that I have had here in beaver creek. I had the tenderloin and it was cooked perfect.

Probably some of the best food in the valley! Service very pleasant and attentive. If it's a quiet night, the atmosphere can be a bit disjointed. Their off-season special cannot be beat for the value. read more

Picked this on spur of the moment. Was great drive up and spectacular views. Atmosphere was fabulous from the start and service was top notch from the valets and hostess to the wait staff. Food was ABSOLUTELY fabulous. And the presentation was even better. We started with the corn soup and greens and had the flat iron steak and the crusted pork chop. OUTSTANDING food! To finish we had the chocolate pudding cake and the pear cobbler. Their cocktail menu was unique as well! Must try!!! read more

This is definitely in our top 3 favorite restaurants in Vail/Beaver Creek. The food is incredible and the staff is knowledgeable and polite. Our table had a nice view of the mountainside. read more

Terrific service and fantastic food -- the best we've had in a very long time! We had 5:30pm reservations because we knew we would be dead tired after a long day of skiing. We arrived around 5:00 because we wanted to sit at the bar and have a drink first. Their very friendly bartender made us three outstanding martinis -- he even adjusted mine to suit my taste for more sweetness. At 5:30, they came to the bar to fetch us and bring us to our table, which was right by the window near the bar. (Although the place was practically empty at that time, I feared that we would be seated somewhere in the back, but it was a great spot.) For our dinner entrees, we relied on the bartender's recommendations and ordered the steak, elk, and rack of lamb (all medium rare, as the chef recommends). All three were wonderful. The elk was a very pleasant surprise: not gamy at all, just a hearty flavor that was a nice contrast to the steak. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare -- not too rare as I often experience -- and it was as good as the best I've ever had. The wait staff were friendly, knowledgeable, readily available, and yet unobtrusive. At the end, the manager came up to us, shook our hands, and thanked us for coming. We've been to a lot of fine restaurants in Vail and Beaver Creek, but this one was the best -- and we will be back. read more

Outstanding service and food to match. A must if you are in Beaver Creek!

Incredible wine list. We started with the Brussels sprouts and tater tots. These were Brussels sprouts that even your anti-veggie kid would eat. Our friends ordered the rabbit wrapped in bacon alongside the roasted root vegetables. We took down the bison short rib and elk loin grilled. Bison was tender, lean, moist and delicious. The elk was grilled to a medium rare that was wonderfully tasty. It must have been grass fed elk as it was not overwhelmed with the sage flavor. One of the best places to dine in Beaver Creek/Vail. read more

Awesome experience. In a cool environment, all the people involved in the service, were more than polite. They were extremely kind and helpful in the menu description to select the appropriate meal. Homemade bread was outstanding, and all dishes were great. Would enthusiastically recommend this restaurant. read more

The food was great. Really enjoyed the restaurant. Very popular place.

A must do!!! I can't rave enough about this restaurant. We have a one year old and was concerned about eating here being that it's a fine restaurant. Upon our arrival we were greeted by the wonderful hostess staff that made it a point to make my baby happy. They brought books for her to entertain herself. The service was amazing! Our server gave us great recommendations. The food was outstanding!!! I had the bison and my husband had the elk. The meat fell off the bone! Unfortunately we were too full to try desert. Definitely will go back! read more

Grouse Mountain Grill has never failed me yet. I've been quite a few times over the years on my many family ski vacations and we always enjoy it! Their pretzel crusted pork chop is delicious and highly recommended. Whenever I make it to Beaver Creek, this is one of two restaurants I MUST make reservations at. read more

Ate here this spring while in town for a fly fishing trip. Food was great. I had a perfectly cooked steak with a rich sauce and morel mushrooms. My friend had scallops with stuffed ravioli and carrots. My mushroom dumpling appetizer was incredible. The only thing that wasn't good was our waitor and the chefs sent out the wrong dessert to us. read more

Having been a regular patron of this restaurant for the last ten years, I was shocked to find that the entire management has recently changed. Tony McNally, the prior manager, who would always greet regulars with a warm handshake is gone. Bill Minett, my vote for the most knowledgeable sommelier in the Vail valley is gone. Tony Gulizia, the renowned jazz pianist was not playing. All of the wait staff, many of whom have worked at this establishment for many years, are gone. Unfortunately, the renowned service that all of these individuals delivered is now gone. While the chief remains the same, the food fell flat. The "warm lobster mascarpone" was not warm. The great sauces that used to accompany the food have also changed, in my opinion, not for the better. This is not the same restaurant that won great accolades over the past many years. For those of us that have experienced this restaurant at its best, this is incredibly disappointing. read more

Worse. Service. Ever (ok, maybe only the second worst after Annie's in Austin). The food was ok but the miserable service overcame any goodness the food provided. Missed orders. Clumsy service. Etc read more

My husband and I dined at Grouse Mountain Grill this evening, but unfortunately our experience was ruined from the moment we got there by the hostess Sam. We were on time for our 8pm reservation when Sam told us our table for two wasn't ready yet and that we should take a seat. Under normal circumstances that would be fine, but we had just gotten off the shuttle with a number of couples and Sam proceeded to seat 3 couples of 2 who checked in after us while we sat and waited for the alleged table to be ready. As a person of color watching as Sam sat 3 tables of patrons who were not minorities it was clear to me why I was being asked to wait with my husband. To add insult to injury, Sam then sat us at a table near the waiters' water station. At that point, my husband went back to Sam to ask for a different table. Sam claimed that we would need to wait an additional 10 minutes. However, she miraculously was able to find a table in their main dining room. This is the shoulder season and the restaurant was not full and there were a number of available tables when Sam took us in to the main dining room. This was clearly just another fabrication by Sam. My husband ordered the Steelhead and was very excited to have it, but unfortunately it was over cooked and dry. Additionally, we tried to talk to Sam after dinner to explain our frustration, but she wasn't receptive to our comments and explained that she was the only person working the hostess stand so essentially what could we expect. Sam's display of microaggresions and explicit bias were clear to me. Unfortunately, Sam's behavior ruined my evening. read more

My first thought was why did I come all the way to Colorado to spend lots of money at a high class restaurant (I can get plenty of that in SF). But you know what? Vail is also a place for the rich and famous to mingle and experience fine dining. Everything we had there was exceptional except for the Venison Sausage -- can't say I liked it too much. Overall, if you have money to spend, the food here will not disappoint. read more

One of the best meals I've ever had! Beautiful decor, romantic atmosphere and wonderful service. Prices very fair compared to other places in the area. Stefan our waiter very attentive and well versed on all the menu items. All around a very pleasurable experience. read more

The food and dining experience at the Grouse was excellent. We ate at the bar on a Sunday night, by choice to listen to the fine musical stylings of Tony on the piano. The manager (another Tony) was welcoming, and the bartender, Alex, was spot on with all her read more

Have visited Beaver Creek for many years but never tried Grouse Mountain Grill. Well, that has changed, we will be eating there on a regular basis. We will also be asking for Colin to serve us.....what an awesome experience. Colin knew the menu and shared his wealth of information with us. He made sure their wonderful bread and spreads were plentiful. We followed Colin's suggestions and chose the Pork Belly, Gnocchi and Bison Short Ribs. All very good! A wonderful experience! read more

Wow! Freakin awesome. Sat at the bar for dinner. Sicilian piano player jamming, Nate mixing drinks, terrific. Started with the TaterTots, well, they're fantastic. Had the duck with grilled asparagus... one of the best meals I have ever had in CO (and we've been coming to the area for over two decades). HIGHLY recommend. read more

Truly enjoyed this gem! Gorgeous views, super friendly wait staff that seemed like they were actually enjoying their jobs, made it very fun. Even the hostess was very warm and accommodating. Sat at the bar for dinner which was comfortable and charming. Really liked the piano man, he came over several times to politely ask if we had a request, very classy atmosphere, felt like a quaint but elegant private alpine supper club. Everything was very good, excellent bread service, so creative with different flavored butters. Squash blossom app was delightful. Halibut was perfect, highly recommend that. I don't recommend the streak, it was flavorless which was very strange. All in all, however, this place is just outstanding in so many ways. Hope to return during ski season. We watched the talented bartender pour amazing looking cocktails that looked inspired by Mad Men, just gorgeous. Make reservations, they get booked early and attract people staying outside of the Pine Lodge Resort which to me says everything. If here in summer, try to get seated on the balcony, it's just like heaven. read more

Delicious. Outstanding service in a beautiful place! The salads are wonderful! I loved the service too!

Awesome food. The tator tots and the bread are amazing. We couldn't get enough of the wheat Rosemary focaccia. The duck was okay, but the filet was incredible. Probably one of the best steaks I've ever had (and I'm from Texas and eat quite a bit of steak). The service was wonderful. Our server was friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Highly recommend. read more

OMG! The best food and service without any pretentiousness! A must place to go while in Beaver Creek. Our waitress Rachel was a delight. The wait staff worked together beautifully. I can't wait to return! read more

Tony G. Pianist & Vocalist performs here regularly. Call ahead and when he plays make it a point to come enjoy the beautiful music over dinner or drinks. Food, drink, and service are all excellent. read more

Fabulous new American cuisine with creativity and beautiful presentation. We had great lamb and striped bass. Nice appetizers of sashimi style bass and black ink shrimp pasta. Best ice cream we've ever had with peach crisp and chocolate flour less cake. Top notch in all respects. read more

Wow! Grouse exceeded our expectations. The restaurant was so cozy and inviting. The live performer was incredible and made the evening. The bread service was well done and hit the spot at 930 because we were starving. We started with the squash soup which delicious and special with the arancini but heavy on the herbed chèvre. The cavatelli was made with fresh pasta (very aldente) and was so good with the ham hoc. The green salad was a nice fresh starter as well. The evening was made by the short rib. We've had many short ribs from top restaurants but this was the best we've ever had. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, and quality of beef which was local and grass fed. read more

Tasty cuisine; stellar wine-list with reviews and info on every wine; attentive unobtrusive service and a sommelier who actually stops by every table and serves you the wine with live background piano music. Very relaxing after a hard day at play. The Lobster started was outstanding. Don't miss this relaxing restaurant that serves up excellent creative and tasty cuisine with glass wines that are interesting hard-to-find wines matched to the foods. One of the few spots in the area to serve the glass at correct temperature. If you love to try amazing wines go to Grouse. read more

We hosted a party at the Grouse Mountain Grill. All planning was done long distance since this was the rehearsal dinner for a destination wedding. I estimated that 35 people would be at the party, in reality 48 people attended. The extra guests were accomodated without any problems. Nancy and her staff were gracious and amazingly attentative! The ambiance was unforgettable. Every person in the party raved about how great it was! The Grouse Mountain Grill is a must when visiting Beaver Creek! read more

My husband and I had our wedding reception dinner at Grouse Mountain Grill. I have no complaints. The food, beverages, wine, service, entertainment, and scenery were excellent. The staff was attentive to our every need from the moment we began planning our event and the menu. The service is five stars....every time I would leave my chair to greet guests the finest little details were attended to, such as the folding of my napkin to keep the table orderly. I am so pleased with our decision to host an event at Grouse. The recommendation to have Tony G. as our musical entertainment was perfect. The chef and kitchen staff does fabulous work, the pretzel crusted pork chops lived up to their reputation for being delicious and creative, and I only heard compliments on the menu items my guests had chosen. During our three course meal, everything from the bread and butter to the selection of wines (which their staff member Bill helped us select), right down to the chocolate cake in a crepe was a big success! A large number of our guests were children under the age of 6 and they even had an area to kick back and play some games. When the event concluded the staff members pitched in to help us pack up the centerpieces and odds and ends, see us on our way, and Nancy (our event coordinator) even sent us a thank you for the opportunity to serve our family and friends. Thank you Grouse Mountain Grill for making our special day everything we had hoped it would be and your excellent customer service. We would certainly work with Nancy and her staff again, given another special occasion to plan! My husband and I plan to celebrate with an anniversary dinner there annually and we will be anxious for the next opportunity to get out to Beaver Creek to enjoy an excellent meal there. I hope to work my way down the menu as every item appears to be delicious and based on the menu items we have tasted, never disappoints! read more

Ate here 3/15 and the food was excellent. Only reason not 5 stars is the environment is a little sterile. The lobster marscopone, pork chop, ny strip, scallops, and short rib lettuce wraps were great. Also the portions are sizable. The oysters were great, but served a little warm. Overall I would highly recommend. read more

Writing this between bites of dessert to say how fantastic this meal has been! The food, service and view...what an evening!

We were lucky to come here when they were having a $39 tasting menu. This allowed us to try very generous portions of an appetizer, main course and dessert. All the food was delicious to the point where I wanted to lick my plate. We tried many dishes off the menu and every bite was perfect! Additionally, the view from the dining room is stunning. I will eat here every time I'm in Beaver Creek. read more

My husband took me here on our first date and we go back every year for our anniversary. I'm never disappointed. It has the perfect atmosphere to relax, unwind, and enjoy a romantic evening with someone you care about. The staff is so friendly. Our meal is always good. Last time we went they changed the pretzel crusted pork chop to a thicker cut which I didn't like as much. But everything is still delicious and very well done. I would recommend it to anyone. read more

Although The Pines Lodge leaves much to be desired, this restaurant is a true jewel and offers a delightful experience to anyone. Not wanting to dine in the hotel with so many other options around, we first chose other establishments for our first nights. Now we wish we had dined here every night! The staff is incredibly friendly, helpful and outgoing, especially the maitre'd (forgot to get his name) and Carlos behind the bar. Very attentive and outgoing, but that is only the beginning of the wonderful experience. The ambience is very modern and upscale, yet not stuffy, but next to the wonderful staff is the amazing cuisine! The food is of a very high quality and absolutely delightful to the eyes as well as the palate. We're kicking ourselves for not coming here right away and spending every evening here. Rest assured, while we may stay at a different hotel while in the area, we will definitely be making this our first choice in dining while in the mountains! Definitely seek it out! read more

Wonderful place to have a romantic Christmas Dinner with my husband! Having dietary limitations, our waiter Elliot was most accommodating and helpful. With a decor that is Beautifully appointed, and elegant, festive atmosphere, I look forward to my next visit! read more

My wife and I last visited the Grouse Mountain Grill a couple of years ago, and couldn't wait to get back. They did not disappoint!!! They had a prix fixe Spring Tasting Menu with any appetizer, entree and dessert on the menu. I highly recommend the cavatelli (squid ink, chorizo, chiles, crab) - it sounds a bit daring, but was superb. The lobster appetizer was a very close 2nd! Our entrees were the beef tenderloin (my wife loved the potato pave') and the bison short ribs (brined and braised for for 24 hours!). Desserts were wonderful - flourless chocolate cake (you could taste the fresh mint in the mint ice cream!),and the rhubarb (crustless cheesecake, rhubarb sauce, rhubarb bar, candied ginger). A great dining experience! read more

My favorite restaurant in Beaver Creek and the Vail area. My friend and I try a different restaurant every evening. Last night we went to Grouse Mountain Grill and our dinner was delicious. The waiter recommended that we try the brussel sprouts (what?), and I'm glad we did. They were the best we ever tasted with bacon and maple syrup. I wanted more. Then I had the seared salmon layered over cauliflower puree, and lentils. It was so good I groaned. We sat next to a roaring fire and the service was top notch. I'm coming back next year unless I can talk my friend into going again this week! read more
