    Bratwurst mit Sauerkraut
    Markus L.

    I love their European entrées--truly authentic, just like what you'd find in Austria or Germany. They even serve Radler, which is rare to come across. The service was excellent, and the prices are fair. Definitely a go-to spot for lunch or dinner in Vail. The restaurant itself is beautiful and perfectly captures a classic European atmosphere.

    The vibe here was incredible!! The inside was very cozy & homey and the outside patio was such a vibe. The cosmo & boozy lemonade were delicious. The best food we had was the fries & the tomato soup!

    We loved Pepi's! We went twice on our recent vacation to Vail. Our son loved their Wienerschnitzel the best because of the coating. Their trout is delicious. And you have to get their sauerkraut and red cabbage! Their Apple Strudel was one of my favorites! The manager and staff go above and beyond to make sure your eating experience is superior!

    I was lucky to snag a last-minute table here, which is no small feat in Vail during peak hours. The service was excellent, and the food didn't disappoint--hearty, filling, and full of flavor. The only downside is the price, but it is a tourist town after all. Still, if you're a fan of Austrian food like I am, it's worth the visit!

    We showed up a day early, but they graciously got us in. Our service was impeccable, great wine list, and the food... authentic. I had Jaeger schnitzel (spelling?) with spaetzle and mushroom gravy with a size of red cabbage. My husband has Weiner Schnitzel, and our son had a platter of Elk, Bison, and Quail. All fantastic. The Strudel was spot on. I will come back next year! Oh- we sat in the Antler Room.

    We had such a fantastic time here that we visited twice! The venison was delicious, though my friend said the Wiener Schnitzel was a bit dry. Our first visit was for dinner in the main dining area, which was cozy and inviting. Big shoutout to Shawn, he was incredibly helpful with drink pairings. The second visit was for lunch on the patio, and it was lovely sitting out in the sun. Highly recommend Pepi's!

    Beef Stroganoff
    Mattie Y.

    This restaurant can be a little hard to find at night because it's connected to the bar, but a separate sit down restaurant. It's where they have the breakfast for the hotel guests. Lots of authentic German/Austrian cuisine on the menu, and both of our dishes were really good. I tried the Beef stroganoff and was not disappointed. Overpriced a bit, but so is everything in Vail.

    Roasted beet salad

    The service and food was OK. Nothing over the top or out of the way exceptional to warrant 4 stars. Food was.most likely on par for Vail prices. It worked while we toured the town and figured out the next stop on our road trip. We had a roasted beet salad and stroganauf... good but not like mama makes it! Probably would go elsewhere if I were to visit again, but I also wouldn't NOT come here. Just depends on what youre looking for!

    Just delicious! This place was so cute. We sat on the outside patio which was enclosed with heaters and big windows to see the snow fall. The soup was so good. I would rate it 5 stars but the only things was that it was my birthday and we met the waiter know and it wasn't acknowledged at all but that's okay! I can't expect that but usually restaurants would say happy birthday or something special but overall the food and service was great and I will be back if I'm ever in Vail again for a nice bite!

    Very nice bar. Food was surprisingly good. Got the pretzel and brat sandwich. The sandwich was good, but it's messy. The bread doesn't hold up that great and got soggy quickly- but taste was good down to the potato's. Great atmosphere. The place is bustling but it's very chill inside. Totally recommend.

    Visiting Vail for a quick getaway a few weekends ago made me realize (again) that this mountain…read moretown renowned for exhilarating outdoor activities is a foodie destination with so many options to choose from Michelin-recognized restaurants to something more casual. And to stumble upon this chic and inconspicuous cocktail bar in the busy downtown was something I wasn't expecting and became a treat after a nice stroll through the town after dinner in my hotel room. From the moment I stepped inside, I knew I was at the place where my heart was calling for. There were two gents at the bar and one of them warmly greeted me and said I could sit anywhere I would like. I hence picked one of the bar seats. Except one table that was occupied by a couple I was the only one. I appeared to have picked the right time; I had the whole bar to myself (eventually though, several different groups of people streamed in; only a few of them sat at the bar close to me. The bar was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate a little over 10 people.) Jeremy, who greeted me upon arrival, was a super host. As soon as I explained that wine is my usual got-to, he said he could mix and match reds and whites to create a "flight" based on what I had told him as to my likings. His extensive explanations as to what sorts of reds and whites the bar offers/serves was (of course) all in his memory. His eloquent speech with no filler words truly impressed me; he sure is a wine connoisseur. What he picked for me were... -2024 Pepiere "Les Gras Moutons" (Muscadet) -Kobal "Bajta", Hazole Belo (aka Orange Wine) -Sandlands "Red Table Wine (Lodi Red Blend) With his wealth of knowledge, after giving him only a hint of what I liked, what Jeremy selected for me to sample/sip was a superb choice. All of them were world-class excellence with elegance and beauty. I carefully and slowly sipped each one little by little to truly immerse myself in the art of wine. Yes, wine is a piece of art for sure. I think I said it correctly at the beginning of this review. This is a cocktail bar with variety of spirits which Jeremy could easily concoct just about anything from gin-based one to vodka-based one to tequila-based ones to whiskey-based one to name several. For those who don't drink, their zero-proof section also has something interesting to browse and choose. Not to mention, rotating pilsner or IPA on tap to name a few from the beer section as well. If you need a little bite to eat, their (changing) food menu has a good number of New American-style plates. The bar originally opened in a different building back in 2015 (I believe). They moved to the current location in 2019. They also offer various different classes so you can expand/extend your knowledge. So for your next foodie vacation in Vail, make sure to include Root & Flower in your list.

    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!

We're staying at the Grand Hyatt, which has been... fine. Meh, if we're being honest. A local recommended Mountain Standard, so we tried to make a reservation on OpenTable and quickly learned they were booked solid until tomorrow (a great data point, btw). But, being the swarthy pirates that we are, we showed up anyway; and thank sweet baby Jesus, we found two seats at the bar. Our barkeep, Gummow, a fellow swarthy pirate, was excellent in every possible way. His bar back, Rowan, could not have been a better support man. Together, they delivered the kind of service that makes you remember why hospitality is an art form. And the food? Absolutely to die for. My girlfriend had the oxtail, and I had the mock paella. Both were incredible. The service, the food, the environment; every facet was dialed in. We will be going back tomorrow for lunch, possibly dinner, and possibly to inquire about monthly rent. As a former service industry worker myself, real recognize real. This place and these people are it. Mountain Standard is iconic and must be protected at all costs.

This place is popular as we walked by 45 minutes before and already a bunch waiting as they have great creek side seating for maybe 6 tables. If being a tourist you should walk by and check in for waiting list seating as this place can be crowded. We came early and sat in the bar and I found it pretty hospitable the bar staff especially Rohan was great and helped pick some local whiskey. Got seated when our guest arrived with great seating. The food was good although not memorable as what I expected. Hard to compare as one of my first times at Beaver Creek Village. I can definitely see dropping by the bar as I'm sure there wouldn't be the wait needed for tables

Only four of us were there as the other two were across the street at Christy's returning their rental skis. There was a table of 6 but the hostess said she couldn't sit us until the other two arrived. Right then, a guy walks up and asks for that same table. He was by himself and she gave the table with six chairs to him. His full party was clearly not there but she sat him anyway. Why is that allowed? Clearly favoritism. And to be clear, two of his friends showed up and the other three never arrived. So, at that point we told the hostess we were now a table of four and she said we could sit at a table that had 3 chairs. Well okay....we took it. We grabbed the table and asked other tables around us for the extra 3 chairs and everyone was nice enough to give us the extra chairs. Our server, Suzanne was excellent. Very attentive, friendly and immediately brought us our drinks and food. The nachos were tasty. Drinks were good but pricy. I give Suzanne 5 stars, food 3 stars hostess 0 stars. Treat everyone fairly and respectfully. The hostess could use customer service training.

As anticipated, the place was gorgeous...with a slightly formal air. Given that it was in the Vail Village (near the ski slope), my husband was able to enter the place in his rugged ski suit. Despite the ambiance, it was a bit dead. I was disappointed with the lack of French music overhead...though maybe it was on so low, I didn't hear it? There were plenty of breakfast-brunch options, but on the menu, some items were noted as taking 20 minutes (which we didn't have time for!), so I was a tad bummed about that. In any case, my husband chose this Huckleberry Bacon French Toast, and I ordered the Maryland Crab Benedict. For drinks, we both just ordered plain coffee. As expected, the foods were good. I was more impressed with my husband's choice, this super-fancy french toast. Not only did it look amazing, it tasted spectacular! Mine was good, but disappointing at the same time. I really liked the Crab Benedict, but I only half-liked the side salad (basically just Arugula with a few Walnuts and Figs). The total bill for these items ran over 100 bucks... which, was to be expected in Vail. However, for such a pricey breakfast, I felt that I should have absolutely loved it...but it felt short of that. Overall, I just expected a bit more from this breakfast experience. Again, the decor was gorgeous, but the ambiance wasn't fully there (because of the lack of music?). Service felt a bit short-skimpy as well. Foods were good, but mine especially (Crab Benedict) felt a bit lacking. Let's just say that I've had Crab Benedicts as just as good for half the price...and with better sides. Maybe lunch or dinner experience is better here? In any case, am glad we checked out the place...but I doubt I'll choose it for breakfast again.
