Just my opinion for what it's worth. I'll say a lot because I really want this place to work, and I am part of a group that is constantly cheering for your success. You can't be everything to everybody all the time so I would advise you to look at your menu mix in a month or so, pair with your guest comments and scale the menu down and use the extra resources to improve on the dishes you are most proud of, and think will make the biggest impact. I promise you will save on waste, have a more organized and efficient line, and improve your product. As an example, I had the skirt steak. Your steak was good, not cooked to the doneness I requested, and the chimichurri seen its best days a while back. I wouldn't even take a temp for the steak, but rather tell the guest, "the chef recommends medium rare for the best quality and flavor, is this okay?" Everyone I asked on the table said their food was good, just okay, or I won't order it again. The menu is all over the place with no real direction or theme. I heard Mediterranean. Chimichurri, mediterranean items, schnitzel, tacos...? Make sure you have a lemon wedge with schnitzel. I'll also say this, you probably have a lot of people demanding the "old favorites" and this is what got the place in the position it ended up in. They are what their name suggests (old). Do so well on the new products so they forget the old stuff. Scale the menu down (not sure if Branzino is flying out the kitchen, don't have filet if you can't hit temps), don't listen to the loud minority, and really drive service. Lots of new faces that mean well but can use some coaching. They leave a lot of money on the table. There are a few people who wanted another drink but was never offered. It seemed like they wanted us out of there at 6pm in a half empty dining room. I had one glass of wine coming from work, as a reference. Check your menu editing. I'll be back to support! read more

The 3 new owners sure know what they are doing food was amazing very open variety of food from fish to chicken and steak even pastas. The service was fast and the prices are decent to the place. Very calm with nice views full bar and you can relax and have a couple beers or a glass of wine or enjoy time with family or friends! Can't way to go back and try again! MUST TRY read more

This restaurant is located within a golf club in a stand alone building. Ambiance was similar to a lounge with a bar and restaurant seating. They have seating both indoors and on a patio. I ordered the nachos with chicken and the serving was HUGE which was great. Flavor was good (I love pickled jalapeños). We also ordered the green chile burger which was good. The price was great as well. Service was as expected. Food came out quick and the waitress checked on us a few times. Their ice water had a weird taste so I ordered a soda water and that tastes fine. Overall, food was decent and I'd be willing to go back. read more

I can downgrade this rating now that Toro Bravo is open. Everything is ok but just ok. Good for a snack after golf.

Incredible new restaurant. Dinner menu is spectacular. The seafood options are delightful.

We went to eat on Good Friday. The food was amazing! Great job with everything. Lived here for 15 years and it was the best it's ever been. Keep up the good work. See ya very soon. read more

Yuck, don't waste your time!! Too expensive, service was poor and the food is like cafeteria buffet. A 1/3 glass of wine was $12. Chicken Fettuccine tasteless! The Branzino sauce was salty and tasted like it came out of can! The tap water they brought to us was even undrinkable. Spent $85 Would have rather went to McDonald's and I haven't been there in over 15 years. read more

The food was fine, but I was expecting something memorable. I felt like the dining area was too bright and too noisy. It kind of reminded me of a dining hall at a reception. If the food was better or the ambience was better, I would rate it higher. I really wanted to like it because I want to support local. read more

2 stars only due to the incredibly high noise level. It was so loud we had to practically yell for our table of 3 to hear each other which just added to the noise level. The waiter was very good at replacing our orders that arrived cold. One order of shrimp was very tasty, the weinershnitzel was bland but tender, and the $18 1/2 lb burger was big but nothing special. We would love to return to try other dishes and to support local but not until the noise level is addressed. read more

Food is excellent . Enjoyed many breakfasts and dinners . Nice atmosphere and beautiful views. Mostly it is the staff that provides friendly and excellent service . Very attentive. If you are looking for a laid back dining experience that provides delicious food and excellent staff, I highly recommend . read more

If you haven't been since the new restaurant has opened - I don't know what you're waiting for. The newest "hidden gem" in Vail boasts a kitchen staff that is fully dedicated to making your taste buds giggle with delight. Don't wait, get a reservation (you'll need it)! read more

Hacienda Del Lago Restaurant - Espresso Martini and Crème Brûlée - New American Near Me - Vail, Arizona

I was looking for a place to host about 40 friends and family for a surprise birthday party for my wife. I stopped in to Hacienda del Lago just to check if they had room. I began working with April and Asher and was amazed at the level of support and assistance they provided. We had a wonderful experience. The food was great and the service was exceptional. The entire experience was above and beyond. The venue is A+ and I highly recommend it if you're looking for a very personal gathering environment with caring staff and management. Thank you April, Asher, and staff!! read more

The food was outstanding. We had the rigatoni with the andouille sausage and the pasta carbonara with a large flat noodle. Both extremely tasty and we brought them home so you can do takeout as well. The Hacienda restaurant has changed dramatically over the last four months and they continue to improve and always toward a great addition to veil area. Highly recommend recommended you give it a chance if you haven't already done so. read more

The Hacienda is under New Management with a brand new menu so all reviews dated August 21, 2025 or older are not valid. The new menu reflects the more than 25 years experience of each of the three partner chefs who now independently operate the restaurant without any influence from the owners of the golf course. The food is remarkable. read more

I do want to say first and most important was the food was amazing. It was a little bright inside I think they could turn down the lights and it does feel a little bit like a cafeteria instead of a restaurant. This particular night that we went everything I ordered was unavailable they were out of stock. I did find something that I was able to order but not what I wanted to order. The food was still very good, our waiter did everything in his power to keep us happy with conversation and making suggestions of substitutes. I'm going back there today for lunch and I will continue to go back there cuz I think with these reviews they will make some corrections. I also want to support local. read more

The new owner has done a remarkable job of turning this place around. The menu and food are excellent and the service outstanding. In addition, they are bringing back live music. The place is packed now and reservations are recommended! Well done Asher Amar and thank you for bringing back excellence to Vail Community! read more

Several of us went to lunch. The side salads were ok.burgers super dry. Carne asada tacos he'd extremely tough meat in them. The cheddar grilled cheese tasted like American cheese. And they couldn't put mustard inside before they grilled it. The person who had a tuna melt said it was ok. Noisy and echo-y inside. Glare from the windows. So much for the newer, better menu. No thanks. read more

Rancho Del Lago has Two new Chefs I have had breakfast Lunch and Dinner with friends an family now this week. This is heads above any restaurant Vail has to offer. And the price is comparable to any in the area. They are modifying they're hours staying open later on Sunday. Anyone like me that has shied away in the last six months take my word for it its time to come back . Advice (call for reservations) the. Word is out, no reservation you maybe waiting for a while. read more

The location is great if you live in Vail and it's very convenient! And since they have TVs by the bar, it's a good place to go and just hang out and watch a game, etc. Views at sunset are great! Menu is somewhat typical and I'd love if they added tacos and some vegetarian options as those options are very limited. The specials are usually very good. Prices are a little high in my opinion, but the food is good. Drinks are good as well. Service is always friendly. read more

the food was amazing, the service was really good and no wait for food. the environment of the place was good

friendly local neighborhood spot for bar food - good specials. Sad that the interior is very dated and not maintained very well. Service also isn't the best. Great views of golf course and mountains. read more

Hacienda Del Lago Restaurant - Patio Views - New American Near Me - Vail, Arizona

Great service, especially in the bar. Great place to watch sports (at the bar). All the food is excellent...my recommendation is to try the prime rib French dip. It is awesome! read more

So, we came back! Last time we were here it was very good. This time, just as good. Service was excellent! I ordered the all meat scramble and the wife had the burrito. She could only manage to eat half of hers. Guess she has breakfast tomorrow. Mine was also very good lots of ham, bacon, and sausage. I only wish they had included some onion and peppers. That would have made it excellent. They have a very nice patio for all meals and they are dog friendly. They also have daily specials. So it has been a long time, several years I fact since we have been here. I must that the improvements are great. We walked in and were met immediately and to sit where ever we liked. Great! Our server came over within a few minutes and took our drink order and brought us water. I ordered the Campfire while my wife ordered the Sonora Scramble. Needless to say, mine was excellent and my wife's was so large that she brought half of it home. Mine was hash browns with two eggs on top covered with gravy. Hers was eggs scrambled with green chili's, onions, chorizo, and cilantro. She commented that the hash browns were cooked perfect. Nice an crunchy with no grease. Service was excellent as was the food. Prices are very reasonable for what you get and the Bloody Mary's are great. So I am hanging my review to 4 stars. Glad to see the improvements and changes. Will definitely be going back. read more

I participated in a golf event at this location where a burger and chips were offered as meal to personnel that attended. I had been there before so I decided to get one of their signature 1/2lb burgers. Instead of preparing the burger with one of their 1/2lb patties, they used one of the cold grilled 1/4lb ones from the event. The reason for the one star isn't because of the burger but because the lack of willingness to do anything about it when I informed them of the mistake. I always looked forward to the burger and fries after playing a round of golf here, now I will just bring my lunch. read more

The Food was good. Had the prime rib, "tasty!" The vegetables were Ok, kinda small portion. The appetizer, Onion Rings was delicious! Service was decent. Of course the view of the area was very nice! read more

Hacienda Del Lago is good for what it is - a golf club house restaurant! The food is typical American bar food - burgers, salads, sandwiches, appetizers, etc. they have a good happy hour and make good drinks! The service is usually good. We typically go for happy hour and get beers and wings and when the weather is good, we try to sit on the patio overlooking the green and the mountains. I have also used the restaurant as a special event space for my baby shower. The event coordinator was so kind and friendly and the team who showed up to help the event were also very kind and accommodating. We had a brunch-like menu and that was just fine! I would recommend for special events. read more

We went here for our first breakfast in Arizona when we first moved here. I can only speak on their breakfast for now. The breakfast was good with an amazing view! My husband got the juevos rancheros which was decent! I ordered their pancakes and grits. The pancakes were dense and dry. The grits came out like soup so I don't think thr person who prepared it realized how water it was. If you are use to actual seasoned food this will taste okay to you. Also portions are small or "healthy" compared to other restaurants which isn't bad but you might leave still hungy. It's right next to our neighborhood so a great place to have if you don't want to cook. Hopefully we'll enjoy their dinner better because everything was "meh." for us. Happy Yelping. read more

Food was good. Not a good Martini. Service was good and it overlooks the golf course.

Nothing fancy! Clean, friendly and affordable. Simple menu and a bar menu for cheaper eats! Nice views! Roomy with many table options. Since I was just meeting someone, I had a cup of clam chowder soup. It was nice. Very simple with lots of tarragon flavor. Since I like tarragon, I liked the soup. Was it a dream clam chowder!? No. But it was ok! This is a good stop before and after golf or if you are just in the area! read more

Excellent food, service, and location! Wish they were open later, especially on the weekends.

When the hubby golfs here.. I either meet him for lunch or he brings me something home!! Never disappointed!!

This business could be so much better. It's got the location and a built in customer base. It's just ok... menu hasn't changed in a long while and it lacks charm. read more
