This is the best restaurant in BeaverCreek for a reason! Great food and very friendly and attentive staff. Our server was Duffy and he was the one who made our experience even better. Thank you for everything and see you again! read more

This was one of my favorite meals on a long time. The meal started with maple syrup infused Brussel sprouts with bacon then Followed up with a wonderful main course of aged Duck. The duck was so tender and the flavors married well with a wine reduction sauce. All in all a top choice dinner. read more

Grouse Mountain Grill - New American Near Me - Avon, Colorado

We have had 3 different opportunities to order Grouse Mountain take out. The food was superb and arrived on time. I highly recommend the salmon, walleye, and the elk. The carrot cake and bread pudding were who hits as was the Tuna Crudo. Well done Grouse Mountain!!!! read more

The setting is lovely. The food is excellent. The waiter was horrible. We ordered cocktails and one was subpar. There was no apology. He said 'what do you want then?' and then proceeded to ignore us for the rest of the evening. Our meal was delivered by another associate and the only way we could get any attention from our waiter again was to flag him down in between attending to all the other guests around us. Upon leaving, the valet was rude to us for taking up his parking spaces even though there was no one available to park the car when we arrived. The restaurant next door beat the pants off this place for service and experience. read more

Our second time here, the first being better than the last. The bread is absolutely yummy with three spreads. We shared the tuna tar tar which was good but served with hard as nails crackers(and only one so sharing a little tricky) and it needed a little salt which was not on the table. My partner got the rabbit sausages which I liked but he wasn't too impressed. It came with truffle pasta which was stuffed with potatoes and truffle. It would have been better stuffed with cheese. I got the scallops with quince and faro. The faro was the best part as the scallops were covered with this quince paste that resembled orange marmalade which I like on toast but didn't like this. I'm more of a savory person though. We also had bread pudding which was good. read more

Meh. I wasn't overly impressed. Caesar salad was average. Honestly, I expect anchovy's or at least a real Caesar - this one had tomato's and little garlic. I don't even recall what I ate - so not impressive. My son had the famous pretzel pork chop... again, meh. Just average. Pretty pricey for average food. read more

We didn't have a great dining experience our first time out; however, we were invited back by the gm, and we had a wonderful time. Had a nice, relaxing meal on the patio in the evening and the food was great. The chef also came out to say hello and bring us a special desert. Was very nice. Look forward to dinning here again. read more

I loved my veal dish that came with polenta and steamed spinach. The cesar salad was excellent as well. Very pleasant atmosphere and view of the mountains. We received excellent service from Dave. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Colorado! Every time we visit beaver creek we go here and it's incredible! Food is amazing, drinks are amazing, and the atmosphere is amazing! Oh! Did I mention it's romantic too?! read more

The food wasn't very impressive. A lot of the options are basic and tired that have been around for years. Not too much that is inspiring. Over priced for basic food. Decor doesn't make sense. I was expecting more with the reviews. Maybe my expectations were too high with what people have said, but really not worth it for me. Did have a decent wine list though. read more

I had my engagement dinner here and it was amazing! The food is just out of this world. We should have taken a picture of every plate but the atmosphere and food were so good we got swept away in dinner conversation and the experience. read more

Grouse Mountain Grill - I want to eat this again! Right now! - New American Near Me - Avon, Colorado

Pros: Good food Cons: decor from the early 80's This place has OK food, but it is begging for a remodel. Everyone and everything is tired. The food was good, but nothing really special. The service was OK too, but again, nothing special. I am not sure what they can do as they are inside an old hotel, but the place is really in need of a new menu, new decor, and some touch of modernity. The Beaver Creek resort fee tacked on the end of each bill is a not so special surprise tax that really is off-putting also. Really, you make diners pay part of everyone's homeowners association dues at this place? read more

We had a 7:00 PM reservation, we arrived at 6:15 and the place was empty. We were told to sit at the bar since they weren't ready for us. When we objected the hostess said she would see what she could do. Reluctantly she agreed to seat us, walked us thru the mostly empty restaurant to the very last table right by the swinging door of the kitchen and said this is your table where one diner would be facing the wall. We asked to sit at a table not facing the wall and she said they were all reserved. At that point we walked out. We have been in the valley for over 15 years and each time we try to go we have the same experience. We will never try them again. read more

Giving this restaurant three stars, purely based on the service. The food was excellent and the service was timely, but every server seemed robotic with very little personality. I would probably recommend this restaurant to a friend, but I only wish the service was a bit more personable to enhance the customer experience. read more

Grouse is the vanilla ice cream of nice restaurants in Beaver Creek. Pleasant, dependable, delicious. But a little boring. It isn't as opulent as Splendido, but it is very nice. Nothing over-the-top spectacular, but very nice. We were sat at a good table near the bar and the piano. I did realize that the space was relatively empty and that may have contributed why I felt a lack of energy. We started with the salads and a good bottle of wine. The sommelier decanted without asking. I appreciate that. I had the striped bass which was absolutely delicious. We ended with the flourless chocolate dessert and it was really rich and creamy. Perhaps we went on a slow night but I felt the food and service far overshadowed the dull atmosphere. read more

This review is solely for the bar portion of the restaurant. I had some downtime between unpacking and a rehearsal dinner for a wedding I was attending the following day. My Husband was a groomsman as were my husbands friends. The men had wedding stuff to tend to so us girls would have to find something to keep us busy. We ventured down for a quick round before needing to head to the rehearsal site. I really liked this bar, it had a lovely ambiance and the bartender was just phenomenal. I believe his name was either Nate or Nat. Super friendly and knowledgeable, he helped me out by offering a special old fashion with marinaded fruits. I love whiskey and this old fashion did not disappoint. My friend had the lemon thyme martini, which I tried and loved. The cocktails were lovely, which complimented the sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. I would have liked a seat on the patio, but it was on the full side and we were only there for one drink. We left after one cocktail a piece and ventured forth with our evening. However after the rehearsal dinner those of us that were staying at the lodge popped back in for a nightcap. We stayed until closing and maybe got a little loud and rowdy. It was all in good fun though and no one seemed to mind too much. The trip is over but the taste of the old fashion lingers in my head and heart, I must recreate the marinaded fruit for future OF's. read more

There are few times in life that a restaurant exceeds expectations. Our meal at Grouse Mountain Grill was one of those times. The food was excellent, simply some of the best food I've eaten anywhere. The beef tartare was incredibly good. But that wasn't the best thing about the meal. Our server Racheal was simply the greatest thing that happened all night, period. What a blessing to behold a person who takes their job super seriously but manages to be so personable and just a treat to interact with. When one of the servers didn't explain the origin of the bread and spreads brought at the beginning of the meal she ENSURED that he returned to do so. All done with the easiest smile and attitude one could hope for. Cheers to you Rachael! And Grouse Mountain Grill for a wonderful evening. read more

Dear Grouse Mountain - thank you for rescuing our night. We had an unsatisfying dinner at another local restaurant and were still hungry. We decided to return to our hotel at The Pines and hoped GM could seat us without reservations AND for apps & dessert only. After notifying the hostess of our situation, she gladly led us to a cozy fireside table for two and propped a PC tablet on the table that was our electronic wine menu. Looking around, I liked the new remodel of the dining room. It wasn't anything extraordinary, but it was very comfortable yet had a quiet, laid back dignity. Carlos was our server, and we informed him we were only there for starters and dessert. He was completely unfazed by this, and in fact brought us a basket of beautiful bread and butter, of which I devoured. He was also very attentive, funny, and personable... a welcome attitude that was worlds apart from the service we had just experienced at the other establishment. The other staff also appeared warm and friendly as they bustled around, but a few seemed surprised whenever we thanked them for pouring our waters or clearing our table. The duck confit tater tots were excellent - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with just the right amount of fat and meatiness. YUM. The buffalo carpaccio was delicious with its accoutrements, though the slices of meat were thicker than I expected. Its parmesan tuile was an artistic addition. Both dishes were definitely heartier than the "small" plates I was expecting. But if there was one thing that stood out, it was our dessert. I can't remember what it was called, but it consisted of a long stick of pretzel from which a huge row of brioche donuts were suspended. It was served with a trio of sauces, of which I recall blackberry, an alcohol-infused anglaise, and some red one. The entire thing was bigger than expected and wholly satisfying. This dessert blew us away. RECOMMENDED. read more

If you're staying near Beaver Creek, you've got to taste the game that Colorado is known for! Although they don't serve the grouse, they've got juicy, tender morsels of venison along with all sorts of scrumptious dishes. The ambiance isn't too stuffy to come in casual wear. Valet parking for this hidden restaurant within a hotel is free. Service could be better and be warned of the automatic 20+%. read more

This restaurant is one of the top rated restaurants in Beaver Creek. The view from the restaurant is nothing short of spectacular, specially if you can get in for dinner when there is still daylight. The wine selection is ok, but they do have some good labels. The service is amazing. The bread melts in your mouth. Now for the food - they have really good steak and great fish. You cannot go wrong trying either. The reason I gave this place 4 stars (and not 5) is because while the restaurant is worth going to, and while the food and service is great, it is overpriced. read more

We stopped in Avon for a couple of nights and had the best dinner here!! The bartender (Jessica) was friendly and made amazing cocktails. Their resident pianist who typically only plays on the weekends was playing and it created a wonderful ambiance. The halibut and osso buco were perfect. Great wine list, excellent service. Must stop in here for dinner if you're in the area! read more

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary dinner at Grouse last night and it was absolutely amazing and exceeded expectations! My husband told them when he booked that it was our 5th anniversary and they went above and beyond to make it special. They sat us next to the fireplace with a white tablecloth and roses, had sparkling cider for me (I'm pregnant and can't drink), everyone that came to our table wished us a happy anniversary, accordion player came to our table for a special song, and then they brought out a beautiful dessert for us (see picture). Our server Elliott was amazing and the food was fantastic! We started with the lobster mascarpone, we had the gnocchi and short ribs for our dinners, and then the chocolate bread pudding for dessert. It did not disappoint! It was such a special evening they put together for us and we would definitely return. read more

Thanks to Yelp, my husband and I came here during a recent trip to Beaver Creek and I am so glad we did! We both got the 3-course prix fixe for $45. Let's start with my husband's dinner: Citrus Glazed Lamb Ribs - he loved them. Apparently, they were sweet, with a little kick, without masking the natural lamb flavor of the ribs. The only thing was that they were a little messy, but it's not like he needs to impress anyone anymore. Wagyu Beef New York Steak - This was good, but not as good as he was expecting. I had a small bite and thought it was very tender. Double Chocolate Macadamia Crunch Bar - At this point, my husband was so full he could only have a couple bites. He did say it was amazing though. Now on to my dinner: =) Lobster Mascarpone - absolutely divine. Huge tender chunks of lobster sandwiched between layers of fried gyoza skins. Not a fan of fried food, so I simply took those out, but the lobster is truly amazing. Pretzel Crusted Pork Chops - Now seeing as how it clearly says "pork chops", I shouldn't have been surprised when my plate came out with TWO... but, I still was. They were both huge pieces though and I ended up not being able to finish. The mashed potatoes, although an ordinary concept, were so creamy and delicious. The mustard and balsamic glaze they had went perfectly with the pork chops as well. The only thing is that the pretzel pieces could have been a little smaller. It was hard to cut through the pork chop with huge pieces of pretzel all over it, but it was still wonderful. Warn Rhubarb Crumb Cake - this is comfort food at its finest. I have always loved strawberry rhubarb anything, and so was very excited to see this on the menu. It did not disappoint, and even though I was full from the pork chops already, I scarfed this whole thing down. Service here was also fantastic. Attentive and friendly staff. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience. read more

An incredible experience. My wife's family and I enjoyed an exquisite meal that included above average wine, enticing appetizers, and mouth watering desserts. I could honestly go into vivid detail, but I can sum it up rather quickly. Top to bottom, this was the highlight of my trip to Beaver Creek. Take away the slopes, this was by and large the most enjoyable moment of our trip. Well done. read more

Always amazing! New head Cheff keeping the old amazing traditions going. Been coming here for 25 years and this is still my favorite restaurant in west of the Continental Divide. read more

Really food, extremely tasty and extraordinary but severely overpriced. The four of us had appetizers and wine and the bill was $260. Wow. Nice music, great. Good service. read more

The food was great. We had Thanksgiving dinner here while on vacation. I've got to say, the turkey was by far the best turkey I've ever eaten...EVER! It was unreal how good it was. Everything else was great also, including the pumpkin pie that my wife said was the best she had ever had. Didn't give 5 stars because the service was only marginal. Drinks were slow; refills were slower. read more

Went to celebrate my birthday - it was an AMAZING meal. Homemade bread and tater tots were awesome. The tasting menu was great, so I started with the corn soup; I love soup and this one was so different than any I have had before -- so good! I then had the roasted chicken for dinner, and K. had the pork chop - both delicious! With the tasting menu, I picked the apple crisp for dessert. It honestly might have been the best dessert I've had! read more

We had our wedding catered by this restaurant in the reception hall at the pines lodge. Everything from the passed apps to the buffet, to the wedding cake was outstanding. The staff did an amazing job taking care if our group. The location and view was beautiful. It was a perfect experience. The first night we came into town we are in the restaurant and it was not as good. We returned a chewy piece of fish and it was corrected. It was also a little pricey. That is why we gave 4 stars instead of 5. I would use them again for a catered event but may not have dinner in the restaurant again. The breakfast buffet was also good but still a little pricey. read more

Every bite was delicious. The food was top notch and the wine selection was great! Thanks for the great service.

The food is delicious, the staff is very friendly. Untie the purse strings because this place is expensive. But, if your hanging out in Beaver Creek- you expect that. My husband had pretzel pork chop with honey mustard sauce and I had Osso Bucco. Both entrees were fantastic . For an appetizer we had tuna crudo - yum! We were stuffed. The time before this we had the tater tots - which as I write this I can imagine someone reading thinking, "really tater tots?" Seriously - order the tater tots! We went with 8 other people and all I remember was us ordering more tater tots! Hahah. This restaurant is delicious. read more

We had dinner reservations at this restaurant for 6pm. The concierge at our hotel made the reservations back in October to assure that we had the best seating for NYE fireworks. The evening started off absolutely wonderful. But our 5 course meal stalled at course 2 for over an hour and half. At 8:30pm we left without eating more than our salad and pasta appetizer. With a 4 and 6 year old with us who only received 3 tater tots in those 2.5 hours. This was a prepaid NYE event and turned out a disaster. The manager had no explanations and everyone there seemed confused. This is a warning of the type of service we received this time. In the past this has been an amazing place to dine but it appears there has been a decline in their dining and management. read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! We asked 5 times for no green peppers 3 different meals in a row many times because my father is allergic. We complained the 1st,2nd, 3rd time and they never got it! Then, I asked for no spicy sauce on my breakfast burrito. They, flooded it in sauce. Already 3 days a row in this place and it's horrible. I recommended not stepping foot in here. The manager was horribly rude and was very unaccommodating!!!! Overall I give them a 0/10. Hotel service is great.... Restaurant service sucks! read more

We thoroughly enjoyed all their appetizers from the Duck Confit tater tots, the pork belly, lobster marscapone, and the pumpkin soup were all excellent, especially the sea bass tartare. The appetizers were so good that the entrees seem to fall a little short and were not as impressive. We had the grilled elk loin, buffalo short ribs, and the potato and goat cheese agnolotti which were just ok. The crispy colorado sea bass however was very good, and my kids enjoyed their beef tenderloin steak. read more

Considering them for your wedding? Read on... We had them cater our wedding in December of 2014. They were amazing hosts. So so kind to us before we made the decision to hire them. We were in Wisconsin, and used them as a destination value for about 100 guests. The entire staff was kind and the pricing was well below the value we feel we received. Food. Wow. James beard chef. Steaks. Chicken. Both great. Favorite is the candied carrots. read more

This is one of the best restaurants in the Vail/Beaver Creek area. The decor is little understated, very casual. They have big windows looking out on to the mountain, but at dinner time you really can't see anything. The service is very good. They are helpful and knowledgeable. I have never been rushed through a meal, they let you take as long as you need for everything. The sommelier was phenomenal. He knew the wine list inside out, had tons of recommendations, and never tried to up-sell us (major props). The wine list is amazing. To start, we had specialty martinis while we decided on our meals, then of course our wines. They had something to suit everyone from classic to inventive. For appetizers, the fried oysters and gnocchi (with lamb shoulder, beet greens, golden raisins, and pistachios). We both enjoyed the appetizers very much. The pistachios were an interesting addition to the gnocchi, but it worked. For our mains, we had the culver duck and the elk lion. Both dishes were cooked perfectly. They were flavorful, tender, and just all around good. My only compliant is that the portions were quite large. Personally, I like small portions when the food is really rich. The restaurant is pricey, but if you are looking to splurge on one meal, this would definitely be one of my recommendations. read more

I have been going to Grouse mountain for years and must admit that there were a few years that I found it to be disappointing, but no longer! Had dinner there last night and it was wonderful! I can't say enough. The service was great and the food was amazing! I ordered the apple beet salad and the ritz crusted walleye. Oh my! WOW! My other party members ordered the lobster mascarpone (even better than I remembered it... I am so happy it is back on the menu), the halibut ( I didn't tasted this but they loved it) and the tater tots... yum! I will always highly recommend the pretzel pork chop too but no one ordered this last night. It never disappoints. Don't miss going here if you are in Beaver Creek... the atmosphere is lovely too! Sorry I forgot to take pictures! read more

This is the best restaurant we ate at in Vail/Beaver Creek, and we ate at some very good restaurants. I'd give it 6 stars on a scale of 5 just to emphasize that it's better than the other 5 stars I handed out. The atmosphere is very upscale ski resort cozy. For starters, the lamb and pistachio gnocchi is delicious. Full of flavor. The lamb shank entree and the striped bass entree are great options. I wanted to try the elk bc I have heard good things, but for $52 I was afraid I might not like it and that's pricey for experimenting. We went there for one of our party members birthday. A man with an accordion came out and sang. What's not to like about an accordion? It's a pricey place, but worth it. read more

We dined here for dinner but it's a bit difficult to find they're located in the Pines resort. The diners are dressed to dine, no apres ski attire here. They do offer a kids menu. We ordered the short rib lettuce wraps, pan seared scallops with oxtail marmalade, and let's no forget their signature famous pretzel crusted pork chops. The pork chops were so good I asked our server to share the recipe and he actually gave me a copy to take home. For desserts we ordered warm brioche donuts and chocolate trio. Our server recommended a good choice of pinot noir from France. I would return just to eat their pork chops it's that good! read more

We went to Grouse for our first dinner as husband and wife :) It has a great atmosphere and amazing service. The food was good - I didn't enjoy my dish (bison short ribs), but I enjoyed my husband's dish. Thank goodness he shares! Everything else was great - I'm doing 4 stars, b/c I had a higher opinion of another place, and I don't think it'd be fair to rate them the same. read more
