    Nice location on the creek, food and service just mediocre. But probably still a pretty good place in Vail, where good restaurants are difficult to find.

    This was our second time dining at Up The Creek and our experience was different than the first time. The manager and wait staff were great but the food quality had decreased. The brussels sprouts were not crispy but wilted, the Fried Brie had little to no cheese in it, and the chicken on salad was very dry. The Braised Short Rib was good, but the Mac & Cheese was oily and the asparagus not fresh. Maybe we just went on a bad night, but we had higher expectations given our first experience was amazing.

    Ambiance pleasant.Server placed our drinks and food to wrong person. Salmon glaze and sweet mash tasty but mash was room temperature. Brussel sprouts horribly dried room temperature and looked day old . Chef should have been ashamed to serve the dish.
