    The food was amazing as always but our server was a bit pushy on upselling us on the wine and his demeanor shifted noticeably when we opted to purchase a more economical selection. A bit disappointing compared to our prior visit.

    The best part of dinner were the soufflés. Sommelier was great. Service so so. Whilst awaiting the sommelier we mentioned that we wanted wine by the glass. The server said”what do you normally drink?!!!” It was downhill from there. We ordered the endive and apple salad. The taste was good but could have been better. The presentation was not really French. Chopped salad is an American phenomenon and the taste is different from whole leaves and sliced apples.

    Beautiful restaurant and impeccable service. The food we ordered was just okay and not worth what we paid. We will not plan to return to this restaurant.

    Oh my gosh, The Left Bank is definitely the very best restaurant in Vail, bar none!!! The Manhattans were perfectly made! We both had the special of the evening which was Beef Wellington and came with a Bibb lettuce salad w/ a creamy vinaigrette. The salad was awesome and the Beef Wellington was prepared to a medium rare temperature, both being impeccable! I ordered a glass of the Pinot Noir and my husband had another Manhattan. We also had 2 soufflés which we shared, one Chocolate w/creme anglaise the other Citrus Lemon w/Grand Marnier crème anglaise! This restaurant is expensive however, it truly is well worth it! Please have dinner here one night. You won’t be disappointed, it’s sublime!

    This was one our best dining experiences ever. The atmosphere and ambience were perfect. The food was superb and the service was impeccable. We were not rushed and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. I highly recommend Left Bank for fabulous dining.
