Perfect place for a special occasion or simply a nice night out in the area! We had a wonderful New Year's Eve tasting dinner as a party of 4. The food itself is great, as are the drinks. One particular drink I LOVE is a clear martini-like concoction with a coffee foam on top. I can't remember what it's called lol! I had 2 of those because it's a phenomenal drink--cheers to the bartender! The servers are nice, and overall much more attentive than the average server in the Vail area. However, for a tasting menu, we all expected to be taken on a whimsical culinary journey. That is... we expected to be told what we were eating, even if it was just a few words. Most of the time, they would set the plates down in front of us in a harsh enough fashion that made items roll and move on the plates. Additionally, the restaurant was medium volume--not super rowdy like a bar during the superbowl, but not stuffy quiet where you hear nothing but silverware clinking. That being said, our table had a stupendous time celebrating not only the impending new year, but also being away from our children for a few hours. Apparently, we were too loud for a patron who complained because there were children in the restaurant (To be perfectly honest, we only saw ONE child in the entire restaurant). Understandably so, but the offended party could've come directly to us if they had an issue with what we were saying or the volume we were saying it. I must say, the restaurant handled it the best way they could, and didn't inform us of our faux pa until we received the check. By then, we were happy to leave! However, there was another large party that had a dog literally at the dinner table (not on the ground, at the actual table!) the entire night. We didn't see anyone complain of that... which I thought was a bit odd, considering the possible health violations with food around. To each their own!
