Really enjoyed eating here during our ski day. It’s a solid spot for lunch at A Basin, but you are limited with the menu operating at such a high altitude. So it’s less cooked foods and more charcuterie, salads, sandwiches, and flatbread.
We got the Anti Pasto and Pane Piatto – Verdura + Aperol spritz.
Can’t get ice so the Aperol spritz was cold but warmed up quickly.

Five star view. More like a Euro-style ski lunch experience. Ingredients are imported and pretty high quality. Supposedly this is the highest elevation restaurant in the US?
Reservations made by leaving a name on the list. Waits can be up to two hours, so get a couple runs in the meantime.

We came back again and we were equally impressed with the food, service, and sustainability. Wow! Such a fantastic spot. A must do at A Basin. The food was great. Portions are huge! The antipasti platter for two is a meal in itself and the lobster bisque is an entree!

OMG! I can’t even tell you how amazing this place is! But I’ll try, service is fantastical, the chef is a wizard, and the cannoli and latte is so good you’d think they were on the schedule 1 drug list! When the cannoli arrived, I thought of “Suck the Cherry” new single from @TheVelveteers . Don’t miss them in Frisco on 4/11/25 !!!

Great Italian bistro restaurant in just about the strangest place you could find one. The flatbread was way better than anything I’ve ever had on a ski resort. It’s like a little hole in the wall restaurant at 12.5k feet. Great views but you have to ski down some challenging terrain.

Great place to stop for lunch at A basin. Staff is friendly, food is good. It is pricey but the views are unbeatable and the space is cozy. I highly recommend stopping in, I know I’ll be back.

Incredible views and food. Service was a bit slow and the place has no running water… But the last part is not surprising. A bit pricey but the quality of the food and the insane views it really isn’t that crazy price wise.

The food was outstanding 12/10. It is incredible to believe that they have to bring up all food and supplies via ski lift. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a phenomenal lunch while hiding away from the winds.

Great service. Limited food selection (sandwich, flatbread, salad, soup, etc). The view is incomparable as it’s at the top of the Mountain.

World’s highest (claimed) restaurant in the 12ks
Wine by the carafe of glass, tapas to wow your taste buds, charcuterie platters, and amazing panino sandwich. Pleasantly surprised by everything I try here
And the cannoli with maraschino cherries
