Mountain Standard is our favorite restaurant in Vail! We make a point to come and sit at the bar every time we are in town (obviously, we do recommend sitting at the bar haha). We get the same thing each time we are here as well: the warm pimento che
Good food, some unique options.
Location is great. Good for kids. Service is usually good and the ambiance is enjoyable although often busy and loud.

I hear the food is very good -- elevated comfort bar food and more. However, I came for lunch after long moring of travel only to be seated and ignored for a very long time in a not very busy looking restaurant. No offer of water let alone bring appr

The apps were good -- warm pimento cheese, whipped feta, beef carpaccio. If spice tolerance is low, get diablo sauce on the side. Even the onion rings have heat. Service was a bit lackluster on Monday afternoon -- had to request water multiple times.
Slow service, stuffy, got several things wrong with wife's
Slow service, stuffy, got several things wrong with wife's order more than once. Stuck us in The bar despite the fact we had kids.
We loved our experience here.
the chicken salad and tuna were excellent. we also loved the cheese spread, excellent location next to the creek. drinks were great.

Delicious food with great options! The pimento cheese dip was great. Great ambiance with a kitchen view too.

We had such a wonderful evening at Mountain Standard in Vail. We sat outside, which was perfect for enjoying the mountain air, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout the night. For drinks, I tried the Cowboy Capri Sun cocktail refresh

Outstanding service! From the host, to our server and the manager visit. Well done! We were seated on the front patio, which was nice, but did notice the floor isn't very even in that area. The clam chowder is out of this world!! Gluten free bre

I read all the positive reviews, but my experience was really disappointing. Despite all the hype in the reviews, it just didn't live up to expectations. I visited this place based on the strong reviews, but unfortunately, my experience fell far
We came here because of the ratings and boy are they wrong.
Service was horrible, had to ask for beverage refills, had to ask for more sauce for sandwich, etc. Food overall was average and over priced like most of the locations in Vail. Thus far we haven't found a OMG stop to eat at in Vail.
A great little spot by the creek in Vail! Sat on the patio
A great little spot by the creek in Vail! Sat on the patio which felt so nice at night! Had the pork chop and it was one of my favorites! It had great flavor, wasn't too chewy, and was very filling! Our waiter was kind, knowledgeable, and quick!
There can only be one be one
Wow, spectacular service and food Octopus starter, pork chop and cortado Been to them all, this is the place for excellence. Go here

This used to be one of our favorite Vail spots, but no longer. Food quality and service were fine. The ambiance was atrocious for lunch today. First, we were sat near the busy entrance. Then, a group of unattended ten year old boys was placed at th
Must visit when in Vail!
Recommended by friends who visit Vail in winter. Great, relaxing atmosphere and welcoming and attentive bar and wait staff. Menu exquisite with wide range of delicious food and decadent cocktails. I recommend the Cowboy Spritz. Shout out to Zac and o
Terrible service
DO NOT eat here— TLDR. My server — Nives. The restaurant wasn’t busy, but they initially tried to seat me in a dark corner in the back. I asked to be moved and they accommodated with a better seat. Unfortunately, things got worse. They brought
Great lunch spot!
Service and food was amazing! The black cod with grits was so good! The cougar cocktail was one of the best cocktails in Vail!
Buyer beware…or know what your buying
Food was ok, wait was long for food. Watched neighboring table order a $200 porterhouse and get something they tried to pass off as one. They offered us same deal but we went with the pork and fish which were ok. Usually they tell you they are out of
Absolutely amazing in every aspect
Best experience for dinner. The service was impeccable. Very knowledgeable server. The food was incredible. 10 out of 10! It felt and was a family dinner that was not rushed and I was cared for in every way. Definitely worth every penny. Keep up the
Fun and fabulous
Yummy Clam chowder ( they smoke the clams ) and hot pimento cheese app Great on a snowy day !! Add a couple glasses of wine and it’s 5 star delicious
Nice to get away from the crowd
Cute restaurant with a good bar scene overlooking the creek It's great to get away from the main streets at the same time, just a hop and a skip away from the crowded shopping streets. Food and Service were very good We went a second time just a
Disappointing Experience with Limited Flexibility
Our experience at American Standard in Vail was underwhelming. While the restaurant had a nice atmosphere, the overall dining experience left much to be desired. The main issue was the chef’s unwillingness to accommodate our requests, which made t

Been dying to try out Mountain Standard for years!! I am ashamed to say that it took us 7 years to finally try out the place when we live just a pass away and are always in Vail. Huge regrets! Regret that it took us that long to finally discover our

Our first meal upon arriving. Reserved in advance during a busy Spring Break week. Quickly seated on arrival. Service was a little slow with drinks, but stayed in track with food. Mixed drinks were great, and a nice local beer selection. Food was
The Full Monty!
Great experience all the way around. Upscale mountain ambiance, great bar if you're looking to camp out, servers known their stuff, food is flavorful and excellent. We ate light in our second visit -- enjoyed the Coconut "washing machine"
Lunch was fantastic as always.
Me and some friends came in for drinks and light apps and boy we were satisfied! I ordered a wonderful pear drink and then the wedge salad and the biscuit. The biscuit was to die for, I HIGHLY recommend. The service was great and everyone there is so
Great ambience and service from our waitress.
There were some mistakes in which food got brought to us by mistake. We did order the spaghetti dish with seafood but we found it too over seasoned. The family style trout dish could serve 3 and was differently southeastern Asia inspired. Will order
Some restaurants don't deserve a second chance
This was our second visit to Mountain Standard this year and it only confirmed my opinion that it sucks. It's not just that it doesn't live up to the hype, our dining experience last night was truly miserable. The only reason we went there was beca

Super fun and homey feeling restaurant! Both the restaurant and the staff themselves are so inviting and welcoming. Great views of the surrounding snow and right in the middle of so much to do. With all this said, the star of the show is definitely
Chardonnay very good,Food 4/5 for Vail
Very nice wine list by the glass. Chardonnay from Burgundy was the best glass of wine I had all week in Vail.Food was upscale comfort food. I had roasted chicken( all bones intact) but it was served in a bowl with a dull knife. Interesting flavors b

Great service, Great food and drinks! The atmosphere is cool too especially after skiing or snowboarding.
Very popular restaurant in Vail.
Food is super prepped in advance for fast execution. We ordered and got an intricate entry that was served to us in like five minutes so that was a little disappointing when you don't even have three sips into your drink or time to unwind. The staff
Enjoyable for family.
Wait times are long but that is to be expected. Dinner was good even though there was a mistake with one of the orders. Management was very attentive and they fixed the mistake. Drinks were great. Perfect atmosphere. Really enjoyed the evening. Had a
We had lunch on Ash Wednesday.
We didn't have a reservation, but were seated pretty quickly. Great atmosphere! I had the sweet potato chilli, excellent! I also had the biscuit minus the ham. It was good and would have been even better with the ham. My husband had the endive salad,
A decline but still very good
Things have changed bit you still know what you're getting when you come here. Classic Vail lodge settings, classic New York Strip. The cocktails are a step above, we love the funny names but we love the taste even more! Both the food and drink offer

Why has no one told me about mountain standard?!? Would I drive to Denver for the pimento cheese and biscuits alone? YES. We came during the In Between menu (between lunch and dinner) so we had limited options, but everyone was insane, so didn't feel

Upon arriving at Mountain Standard on a Thursday night we were met with a bustling restaurant and a packed bar. Despite the long line at the door we were quickly seated as we had an 815 reservation. Service was very prompt and within a few minutes
This place was legit.
The chef made a veggie friendly dish that should be top of the menu!! Service great, drinks great, food great, ambiance great!
My steak was really good.
So were the mashed potatos on the bone. Drinks were good. Never had an empty glass of water and went through a whole bottle.
disappointing second visit
I hate to be one of those that also do not like my dinner tonight. But unfortunately I am in that camp. Limited menu. I had to force myself to find something to order. And I wound up with the steak. With bone marrow and potato. 8oz steak almost $60.
Few Dinner Meals
This is a fav spot for many - the Warm Pimento Cheese is a major draw. However, the dinner menu has limited choices (6ish) with repetition through the winter season years. I can never find a dinner main meal to order and settle for another appetizer
Bring back the menu
The menu has changed. We usually look forward to chefs innovative cuisine but this time was disappointing. True… I did not bother to check the menu before coming in but it’s a place where I go more than 6 times a year. Unfortunately we settled fo
Classic Vail Lodge-like Dining
The drinks were very unique and the atmosphere was classic, Vail, lodge-like. The pork shank and the chicken salad was tremendous. Highly recommend reservations. This place fills up fast.
Popular for a reason
Excellent high-quality meal. Top notch biscuit, grilled Mahi Mahi w/ plantain, and Italian dessert. The place was hoppin’. Good service.
The best meatery for vegetarians
There is nothing on their menu for vegetarians. Nothing. However, just ask the chef to make you anything vegetarian and it will be amazing!!!!
Amazing food.
Beautiful atmosphere. Phenomenal service. My husband and I have dined at several restaurants in Vail and I would say this competes for being the best restaurant. Everything about this place is 5 star.Accepted walk-ins at 5pm came in clutch as we had

Connect with users posting reservations for Mountain Standard Vail
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Mountain Standard Vail. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Mountain Standard Vail at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Mountain Standard Vail page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Mountain Standard Vail to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Mountain Standard Vail!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
