Booked 45 times today
From the creators of Sweet Basil in Vail Colorado comes a fresh, innovative new restaurant opening December 2012. Aptly named Mountain Standard, this rustic and relaxed tavern aims to set a new standard in the Vail valley by using an ancient form of cooking.The majority of Mountain Standard’s menu will be prepared via the most primal cooking method: over an open and live wood fire. The only restaurant in the valley to devote themselves to this age-old way of cooking, the food at this exciting new restaurant will have rustic, bold and honest flavors, focusing on the purest ingredients in the Rocky Mountain region and beyond.Service, like the cuisine, will have that perfect balance of providing a first class dining experience with a more casual vibe. There is no smoke and mirrors here - no fuss - just simple, honest, from the heart service and cooking. The beauty of the creek side location is mirrored by the high energy vibe of this dynamic restaurant.

    First time going to Twin Owls, and it was great. Had the Elk Kabobs, first time trying elk, and they were amazing. Very tender and marinated well. I also had the filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. Topped it off with an espresso martini, which capped the night perfectly.

    My family of 8 (three generations) had brunch while in town from Oregon. This was our favorite vacation meal by far! We have some really picky eaters, too. All of the kids and adults over-ate because it was so good. We did arrive a little early for our 10 am reservation and felt bad that we got there before they were technically open. Everyone was so kind to us and the manager and our waitress welcomed us in and sat us right away. Seriously - the hospitality was amazing. I definitely recommend dining here!

    I was able to host a young friend celebrating her 15th birthday. She asked for gluten free sandwiches and she was happy with them. The tea choices are phenomenal. I had the Huckleberry and chocolate mint. Yum!
