    We were delighted to visit this wonderful lunch-and-brunch paradise while discovering and exploring…read morethe charming mountain town of Frisco. There is ample free parking all around this upscale dining spot, nestled among great business buildings, boutique stores, and stylish eateries. The entire area feels safe, inviting, and framed by gorgeous Mountain View's. What's more: This chic bistro/pure-kitchen concept offers both indoor and outdoor seating, which is phenomenal, and the variety of vegan options is a highlight. We ordered the Mediterranean Bowl, Pure Thai Bowl, and Summit Stir Fry Bowl, and we were very happy eaters. Their food bowls and tableware looked stylish, clean, and gorgeous, making the meal a treat to look at and to enjoy. Adding to the charm, we were especially lucky to have Ms. Lora as our server. She checked in on us periodically, made sure everything was perfect, and even offered to take pictures of us, what a kind gesture! Prices felt appropriate for the quality and freshness, and our food arrived in a timely manner. Overall, this restaurant is a gem, and we will certainly be back whenever we drive through this gorgeous mountain resort town.

I ordered the Korean Zoodle Bowl with a tofu add-on. It was a bit sweet, but the mild spice helped to counteract this. The large variety of vegetables in it satisfied my closet vegan. The tofu had a very pleasing crispyness when it first arrived. I told the SO, "Quick, try the tofu!", when she got her bowl. The SO ordered the Summit Stir Fry with a tofu add-on. She enjoyed it, but thought it was a little on the sweet side. I thought it was a lot on sweet side. I made my bowl not seem so sweet after all, which I took as a plus. Overall the food taste and quality was good and the service was friendly. I will base my rating on that. I do have one comment not having to do with the food or service. Stop reading here if you don't care. Pure Kitchen has a 4% "Competitive Wage Compensation" charge. I was surprised to see this charge on the bill and only later saw that it was in the fine print on the menu, with an "opt out" option (what brave soul is going to "opt out" and risk spittle in their food). Maybe it's my fault for not looking at the fine print on menu, but it's a food menu, not a used car contract. Just my personal opinion, but I believe if a restaurant wants to have "fair wages" for their employees, it is their responsibility, not mine. Raise food prices, lower profit margin, whatever, but please don't add another tax. It just doesn't seem right. I have never once complained about high food prices in any of my reviews because it is my choice to go out to eat. I could eat at home if I want to keep within my monthly budget. I have avoided going to other restaurants based solely on this type of "fair wages" charge and will likely not come here again for the same reason (no matter how badly I want to try their Lamb Burger). I am really VERY SORRY for getting on my soapbox. I don't typically rant, but there are certain things that I believe should be addressed. I'm probably not the only person who feels this way.

    The Arrabelle is a beautiful property, but it lacked one very important amenity during our stay in…read moreJuly-a properly functioning air conditioner. On the evening of July 17, we inquired about why our room was so warm. A staff member told us that, due to capacity, the hotel's system was unable to adequately cool the room. This explanation was confusing because the hallway outside our room was noticeably cool. We were offered a fan, but it simply circulated the warm air and did little to improve the comfort of the room. It wasn't until our last night, July 19, that we were provided with a portable air conditioner (swamp cooler). While it helped somewhat, it was very noisy and made it difficult to sleep. One of the things my husband looks forward to most on vacation is getting a good night's rest, and unfortunately that wasn't possible. To make matters worse, when we checked out on the morning of July 20 at approximately 5:00 a.m., my husband approached the front desk. A young woman saw him standing there but did not acknowledge him and instead walked away. She didn't return until about 5:07 a.m. to assist him. A simple greeting or acknowledgment that she would be with him shortly would have gone a long way. While the hotel itself is beautiful and has many positive qualities, the lack of a functioning air conditioner, the delayed response to the issue, and the disappointing customer service at checkout significantly impacted our overall experience.

    Disappointing experience for a romantic getaway I want to be…read morevery clear from the outset: the staff at the Ritz-Carlton Beaver Creek were absolutely fantastic. They were warm, welcoming, professional, and genuinely tried their best throughout our stay. My disappointment is not with the people working at the hotel--it is with the management, planning, communication, and overall operation of the property. My wife and I booked this stay specifically for a romantic break. I have been traveling extensively, and we were really looking forward to some quiet time together. Unfortunately, we were not informed when booking that there would be a large wedding taking place at the property during our stay. When we raised this concern, we were told that the hotel could not tell us that a wedding was taking place because of privacy considerations. I found that explanation difficult to understand. We weren't asking for the names of the couple, details about the wedding, or any private information whatsoever. Simply letting guests know that a large wedding or private event would be taking place at the resort is basic information about the environment they should expect during their stay, not a breach of anyone's privacy. The wedding itself was clearly a high-energy event, and while I have absolutely nothing against weddings or people celebrating, the atmosphere was completely at odds with the quiet, romantic getaway we were expecting. Had we known in advance, we simply would have chosen somewhere else. More importantly, the impact went beyond the atmosphere. The hotel appeared to be operationally overwhelmed by the event. There simply did not seem to be enough staffing or inventory available to adequately serve the other guests staying at the hotel. At around 10 p.m., we attempted to order room service. We were told that the only option available was a Caesar salad without protein because multiple other menu items had sold out. This wasn't an isolated case of one particular item being unavailable--it seemed that multiple menu options and ingredients were no longer available. We experienced something similar at the Japanese restaurant. Again, the service from the staff was fantastic. They were doing everything they could, but effective inventory management should be a fundamental part of operating a property at this level. If a hotel is expecting a significant increase in occupancy and demand because of a major event, it should be anticipating that demand and ensuring it has sufficient stock to deliver the experiences and menu choices it is advertising. The staff were not the problem. The operational planning was. We did raise our concerns during the stay, and unfortunately, at one point the conversation seemed to shift toward the fact that our reservation had been made using Marriott Bonvoy points. I found that particularly disappointing. How a guest has paid for their room should not determine the quality of experience they receive. I am a long-standing member of the Marriott ecosystem, and one of the reasons people consistently choose to stay within a hotel group is the expectation that loyalty will provide a consistent experience across the brand. Whether a stay is paid for with cash, points, or a combination of the two, the guest is still occupying the same room and should receive the same standard of hospitality. In this instance, I simply did not feel that the value proposition of being a loyal Marriott guest was reflected in our experience. At some point, management needs to decide what this property wants to be. If it is going to operate as a major wedding and events destination, that can certainly make sense from a revenue perspective. But if that is the strategy, the hotel needs to ensure it has the staffing, inventory, communication, and operational capacity to continue providing an exceptional experience to the other guests staying at the property. Right now, it feels like the property is trying to do both, but the experience for non-event guests can suffer significantly as a result. The biggest disappointment was for my wife. We booked this as a chance to reconnect and have a quiet, romantic break after a period when I have been traveling extensively. Instead, the overall experience left her genuinely let down. To be absolutely clear: this is not a criticism of the staff. They were lovely, fantastic, and did everything they could. This is a criticism of management and the operational decisions surrounding the event. If you are looking for a romantic couples' getaway, I would strongly recommend considering an alternative property in the Beaver Creek/Vail area. If you are looking for a wedding venue, however, this may be a very different story. For us, unfortunately, it was a two-star experience and a significant disappointment given what we expected from a Ritz-Carlton.
