    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.

    Tavernetta is an absolute must when you’re in Vail! They have done a wonderful job in creating a beautiful environment in which to dine, and curated the best cuisine you could expect. The Burrata is the best I’ve had in the world, and the lamb was outstanding! This will be a regular for me as I am local and highly recommend.

This town's reputation as a flourishing destination for skiers brings a surprising amount of variety to the area.
