A Hidden Gem Worth Discovering!
I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and was absolutely blown away. The dishes were incredibly flavorful—each bite felt like a celebration of taste. The atmosphere was cozy yet vibrant, making it perfect for both intimate dinners and cheerful gatherings.

What truly stood out was the staff: attentive, kind, and genuinely welcoming. They made us feel like honored guests rather than just customers. I’ll definitely be coming back—and bringing friends!

Lively sports bar with energetic après-ski scene in a rustic pub setting. They serve American comfort food classics in hearty portions. Great for casual lunch or dinner.

Ordered a BLT sandwich the super thin tiny slices of tomato made the sandwich terrible the worst I’ve ever had thankfully they bought me a bunch of thick slices you’ll see in the picture the original thin slices on the bottom and the thick ones added on the top. The bacon was excellent and the sandwich turned out nice after it was modified. They have a great selection of sports on all the TVs here and a huge selection of local beers which I found very interesting some new ones that were not even on untapped that I added.

Basically a bar in the Red Lion area of Vail. Service was solid, food was hot and atmosphere was nice. Nice views of the mountains.

We’ve been going to Garf’s for a few years, but this is probably it for us. The food is decent, prices are appropriate for the location, but we got an auto 22% gratuity added for a party of five. When I asked about it the server just said “oh it’s automatic” and walked off.

I’m happy to tip well, but an auto 22% for five people is over the top. Likely the last money I give to Garf’s sadly.

Great place to catch the game, have a beer and a giant plate of nachos. Large beef & chicken combo nachos feed four. Bar has an old school ski town feel. Just as enjoyable in the offseason as it is during ski season.

While this is a great spot for après-ski, our experience was soured by the service. After a long day on the slopes, I tried to secure two spots for my friends at a shared table while I began ordering food and drinks. Despite other seating being available, the server was surprisingly rigid and told me I couldn’t “hold” the seats. It was an unwelcoming attitude that felt unnecessary given the circumstances. Great vibe, but the service needs a friendlier touch.
