Great evening. Food was delicious and our server Xavier was outstanding. We always have dinner at Swiss Chalet, whenever we’re in Vail, and it never disappoints.

So good we rebooked another dinner immediately after finishing our meal. And if you are lucky enough to have Sigi look after you, she is fantastic. I would recommend taking her up on her recommendations - the schnapps cocktails are a great way to start an awesome meal. We cannot wait to get back there later this week.

Our server, we think his name was Samuel (?) from Alabama was extremely accommodating and an outstanding host. We appreciated his hospitality and attentiveness! Food was delicious and cocktails were superb. Always an outstanding experience, but always superior with a capable waiter! Thank you!

Celebrating New Years Eve at the Swiss Chalet - and seeing the Vail fireworks from the window from our table was WONDERFUL. Javier provided magnificent service, and the team at the Sonnenalp is delightful and treats their guests as family. It’s why we return time and time again. A gem!!! And the raclette, pretzel bread, cocktails and wine were excellent. We love the Swiss Chalet!!

Cheese fondue was good, sodas sadly had no carbonation and they said it has been like that for a while. Overall it was fine, not sure I would return since it was over $200 for cheese fondue, one onion soup, and chocolate fondue. They did take the sodas off the bill kindly without us asking.
