This is a great place for a quieter lunch or snack and it was still quite comfortable and had excellent service. We each enjoyed a beer and shared a Buffalo Chicken Dip which came with celery, carrots and tortilla chips. They bring you a large carafe of water as soon as you sit down which was nice. The dip was delicious and was quickly gone! There were cool photos framed and displayed all around the room. I recommend this spot if the crowded cafeterias are not your jam.

Being a restaurant on top of a mountain in a ski resort area, it's really pretty good! We tried…read moretheir lamb reuben and beef sandwich and they're both delicious! Well we could be biased because we were very hungry, and everything tastes better when people are hungry haha. I've never had a lamb reuben before, but man it was so delicious! It's definitely expensive, but at least it was good. The view was also nice and the place had tall ceilings. The service was friendly but a bit slow that day. Overall, it's a decent place to stop by to get some hot food!

We stopped in at the Red Lion after skiing…read more It was crowded and we were looking for an outside table for six people. 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.

One of the top restaurants in Vail! Need to book a reservation in advance. Every time we come to…read morevail we stop in and love our experience. The food we have ordered is listed below and ranked 1-10. Wienerschnitzel (7.8)- We tried it and enjoyed it. I would order again but it isn't my favorite dish. Hamburger (6.8)- The meat was seasoned really well. I don't care for the pretzel bun but solid burger. Rueben sandwich (8.6)- Very flavorful and a must get! I never even order one anywhere else but I do when we come here. Delicious! Apple strudel (6.4)- Wanted it to be better. Apples could have been cooked longer IMO and the crust wasn't flaky at all.

My husband and I have been coming to Pepi's for several seasons, both summer and winter, and…read moreunfortunately, what happened tonight was shocking and discouraging enough that we don't feel comfortable returning. We walked in around 8 p.m. hoping to enjoy the live music, as we have many times before. Since Pepi's closes at 9, we assumed the music would continue until around closing time. Instead, we walked into an almost ghost-like atmosphere and were told that the musician had already finished because he hadn't taken a break since starting around 4. That was completely understandable, and we had no issue with it. As we were leaving, we happened to see the musician and simply said something along the lines of, "Sorry we missed you, have a good night." Instead of leaving it at that, he immediately asked us where we were staying and mentioned that he had played there the night before. He then asked whether we had seen him the previous night, and the tone and direction of the conversation made us uncomfortable. We politely played along, and he eventually told us to come back the next day at 4. What really caught us off guard happened as we walked away. We heard him refer to us to other guests or employees as "those people were weird." The irony of that comment was especially surprising considering that we had only stopped to politely say we were sorry we missed his performance. He was the one who continued the interaction by asking where we were staying and taking the conversation in an unexpected and uncomfortable direction. As longtime customers, this left a very bad impression. Guests should not have to wonder whether they are being mocked or talked about by people associated with an establishment immediately after a perfectly polite interaction. It made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable, and unfortunately it changes the way we feel about returning to Pepi's. After coming here season after season, we'll be taking our business elsewhere moving forward.

Zach's Cabin was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The evening began with the…read moresleigh ride up the mountain, which was incredibly smooth and cozy. They provided blankets so everyone could stay warm, and the ride itself gave us the chance to relax and take in the beautiful views on the way up, it really set the tone for the night. Once we arrived, the food completely stole the show. I was a bit unsure what to order, so our waiter asked what I would normally choose if anything was available. I mentioned that I usually go for a steak but prefer it without fatty cuts. He recommended the elk, and I am so glad I trusted his suggestion. It was absolutely phenomenal! So tender it quite literally melted in my mouth, and the flavor profile was rich, balanced, and beautifully prepared. We also ordered the Brussels sprouts au gratin, which were perfection- creamy, flavorful, and the ideal side to complement the elk. We enjoyed some champagne with dinner, which made the whole experience feel even more celebratory. To finish, we had an apple crisp dessert with toffee, and it was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Warm, comforting, and just the right amount of sweetness. Between the scenic sleigh ride, the incredible food, and the thoughtful service, Zach's Cabin is truly a special dining experience. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the Avon/Vail area and who is willing to splurge on a perfect dining experience.

As part of our Gondola Ride up Vail Mountain, we upgraded our experience with lunch. The voucher…read morewas valued at $30 and we exchanged it for lunch at Eagles Nest at the Talon Deck. The food was as expected (decent mountain fare), with options for a sandwich, wrap, salad or a burger. I enjoyed the Veggie Wrap with chips, even tho the wrap itself was a bit dry and the hummus almost nonexistent. My mom liked the Bailout Burger with Black Bean Patty and fries and my aunt found the Cub Club with chips filling. The outside patio provides diners a great view of Mount Holy Cross. Indoors, diners can enjoy the view of a college football game on the telly. Alcohol is available for purchase. Note that Talon's Deck is a cashless venue.

It makes it an investment in time too not just money to get to this prime location. Nothing stood out it was all decent, has the standards like burgers, flatbreads, soup and bread.

It's still worth a stop for the views but have tempered expectations on the food.

I love restaurants like these!…read more Do you ever watch ski movies from the '80s or snowboard movies from the early 2000s? All of the cool locals hang out at places like this. It's warm and cozy; there's a ton of crap on the walls; they're not trying to be too showy, and everyone that works there looks like they ski or board. It's fantastic! And this is one of those! The food is slightly better than bar quality, and the drinks aren't special, but they don't need to be; you just order a ton of them, and the best thing is you won't run up your bill in doing so. You come here après-ski to just let it all hang out with some buddies. It's so unbelievably special in this day and age, and all the other eating establishments get it so horribly wrong with their frou-frou menus and utilitarian dining layouts. Coyote Cafe is keeping the tradition alive of authenticity in a ski resort! One that isn't overtly stuffy and caters to families and locals alike! Viva Coyote Cafe! Awoooooooo!

The service was inconsistent, the organization was lacking, and the overall management left much to be desired. There seemed to be very little attention to detail, and the customer experience often felt like an afterthought.

There are plenty of other places in Vail where you can have a great drink, enjoy yourself, and actually feel appreciated as a customer.
