    Alpenrose was just as charming as I imagined! Friendly servers, great decor and ambiance and great food! We shared the fondue appetizer-very tasty with a good flavor (not too strong but authentic!) as well as the schnitzel, a couple house salads (a great salad actually) and the apfel strudel. Everything was delicious, it’s a bit pricey for what it is but still worth the experience.

    It’s one of the finest restaurants if not the best to have dinner in Vail village. The chef does an extra ordinary job in presenting the food in the dinner plate and the taste is spectacular. The dover sole plate is by far the best in the area and I’ve tried many. The dinner specials he prepares are amazing. They have an extensive collection of french wines for the wine conosieurs. Definitely a place you must visit when in Vail.
