Splendido At The Chateau

Here's a 5-star review based on your input: --- We recently had the pleasure of dining at Spendido at the Chateau in Beaver Creek, and it was hands down the most amazing dinner we’ve ever enjoyed. From start to finish, every little detail of every dish was pure perfection—flavors that danced on the palate, presentation that was almost too beautiful to eat, and a level of creativity that left us in awe. This isn’t just fine dining; it’s an experience that elevates the senses. The manager, Matt, was an absolute gem—friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made us feel right at home while sharing insights that deepened our appreciation for the meal. Our server, Jared, was equally fantastic, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely passionate about ensuring we had the best evening possible. The entire staff worked together seamlessly to create a top-notch experience that we’ll be talking about for years. Spendido stands out as the best Michelin-starred restaurant we’ve ever dined at, and that’s saying something. If you’re looking for a night of culinary brilliance and impeccable service, this is the place. Five stars don’t even feel like enough— bravo!

We had an exceptional dining experience tonight. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the valet who promptly took care of our car. Our server was gracious and attentive, recommending the Colorado lamb rack and the dry-aged steak—both of which were cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. Even our two-year-old couldn’t get enough of the meats! After dinner, we stepped into the front lobby to find our car waiting for us—what a seamless and thoughtful touch. While this restaurant is currently featured in the Michelin Guide, we truly believe our experience rivaled, if not exceeded, that of a Michelin-starred establishment. We were too full to try dessert this time, but we’re already looking forward to coming back for more!

Amazing experience! Our server, Jared, was so helpful, friendly and frequently checked it to see how our dinner was going. One of the better servers I’ve had in a long time, he made our experience so great. Highly recommend the lamp, pork belly, raw beef and kampachi (pictured above). The lobster bisque and cavatelli were good but nothing amazing.

Very elegant, cozy and romantic place that serve by far be best food in Beaver Creek. Amazing flavors and creative dishes. Outstanding service. I’ve never tasted a rack of lamb so tender and mouthwatering. Applause to the chef!

Our reviews had over 56 million views in the last 12 months. We do not get paid we just love to eat and have fun. We really love Splendido At The Chateau. This some of the best food in Beaver Creek. You can dress casual or dress up. Lots of tables but always requires a reservation because it always sells out. It is connected to some of the most expensive and elegant private homes and condos in Beaver Creek. All of the food we had was spectacular. Check out all of our reviews and look at all the photos below. If we do not like it we do no review it so all of the ones you see are places that are fantastic. Follow us if you like.

To start we suggest the Mushroom Potage, the Apple & Fig, and the Bison Carpaccio. All are just divine, melt in your mouth fantastic. Bread is served hot with a sweet salty butter we could not get enough of. Special app we had was the scallop ravioli which was a ten plus!!!! For dinner we had the Colorado Rack of Lamb and the Miller's Chicken. Lamb was served rare as requested and was super juicy full of flavor and it was A LOT OF MEAT!!!! 4 full ribs. She had the Miller's chicken which is cooked "brick" style and "Neapolitan" style. So top and bottom layers of white meat plus a darker center blend. We asked the waiter what was in the center blend and he said "horsemeat". We could not believe it so we asked another waiter who said he doubted it. Ask our original waiter again and we all laughed when he said "Forced Meat". Forced meat is when they take the dark meat, mix it with herbs and spices, and then force it through a press much like play dough so that they can make the final product in the shape of a brick. It was really lovely and we all had a laugh about "horse meat" which was not horse meat but was forced meat. Spectacular!!!! For dessert we had the Lemon Souffle which is one of the best in the world. Light, hot, like eating a sweet lemon cloud. Perfect. She had the apple pie and I had the chocolate croissant as well. Both were really good. The apple pie is a totally different presentation than you are used to but OMG is it good!!! Great service. Fun, funny waiters that really new their stuff. Explained every dish to perfection. This is truly one of the best places to eat in Vail or Beaver Creek area. Perfect on all accounts. Check out all of our reviews and look at all the photos below.

Incredible and hard to beat restaurant. Highly recommend the Berkshire pork chop and truffle risotto. Extensive wine list with a hefty price tag but worth it. The ambiance here is 11/10. It feels as though you’re dining in a castle. Top notch experience all around.

I want to thank the chefs, servers, and hosts at Splendido for the lovely birthday dinner. For my first course, my steak tartare was delicious and paired well with the potato baked pavé. I also tasted my family's appetizers, which were also amazing. The foie gras was especially excellent. For my main course, my rack of lamb was perfectly fatty and a was a satisfactorily hearty size. I only wish we were made aware of the time sensitive soufflé desserts before the end of dinner, as that sounded delicious. The restaurant is beautiful, with even more beautiful views. The dining room was quiet and felt intimate even with other diners next to us at the other tables. As the evening progressed, it did seem that the servers were a bit stretched thin. Nevertheless, our server Jared was professional and described all the food with vivid details. Again, thank you to the chefs and waitstaff for the excellent meal.

Undoubtedly the finest restaurant in Beaver Creek. Amazing food combined with friendly and efficient service makes for a memorable experience. The wine list is excellent and is combined with knowledge sommeliers. The atmosphere is refined casual. We have had several dishes over multiple visits and all have been excellent. The menu changes regularly. I highly recommend the swordfish au poivre, and the surprisingly bright and tasty California greens. I don’t think there is a bad dish, so you can’t really make a bad choice.

Excellent spot in Beaver Creek for a fancy, dimly lit dinner. The service was fantastic from even before you step into the restaurant. The valet service is prompt (they even make an effort to address you by your last name), organized coat check service is available if you're going in the winter, and the servers are well trained. The bread service is soooo good - the honey butter on their honey oat bread is now the standard. I only took a picture of the Cavatelli appetizer which was delicious! I split a New York Strip entree and it was plenty for me, I still had leftovers. If you do end up with leftovers and ask for it to-go, they provide you with an actual reusable bag :0

This food was PRICEY but you get what you pay for. Amazing service, fresh ingredients, and the lemon soufflé was phenomenal! My waiter even went above and beyond with dessert to congratulate me on my new pregnancy. Home baked breads were phenomenal. Truly this was a 5 star dining experience with a chef who gives you a wonderful culinary experience. My husband had the branzino, and that was our favorite.I loved that we could see into the kitchen and watch the chefs make the food. I would come back again for a special occasion!

My boyfriend surprised me with a dinner reservation here and I was so impressed! He knows that I love a fine dining experience and Splendido did not disappoint. The restaurant is beautiful and has gorgeous views of the mountains. Everyone was friendly and our server, Auggie, was super patient with us! To start, we ordered a couple glasses of Pinot Noir and the foie gras and asparagus appetizers. Both were extremely delicious. The foie gras was really well rounded in acid-fat balance. The acidity and sweetness levels of the sauce really rounded out the whole dish. The asparagus was also delicious. The sauce was the winner for me. I think it was a Bernaise sauce and it was extremely tasty when paired with the asparagus and mushrooms. For dinner, I ordered the dover sole and my boyfriend ordered the tenderloin. My mind was blown. Everything was so perfect. My fish was cooked perfectly and the flavor was so unique. Buttery and mildly sweet! I loved it. The tenderloin was also cooked to perfection and seasoned so well. Both were melt in your mouth satisfaction. I love that in fine dining restaurants they never place salt and pepper shakers on the table. The chef is expected to prepare each dish to the level of wonderful that you should never need to alter any aspect of your plate. Obviously, the service was fantastic, and they even treated us to a little anniversary dessert! We felt extremely pampered and were both completely delighted with our meals. 10/10 recommend!

Buckle up folks because this is going to be extensive! Service: Our main server was Laurie and she was absolutely delightful! She was extremely attentive and witty. Laurie made sure to clarify any items on the menu that were slightly confusing and was quick to make superb suggestions for courses. Additionally, there were multiple other servers who ensured our cups were never empty and our empty plates were picked up quickly. Food: Oh. My. Gosh. The food was so so good. The party I was in had 4 people and we each made sure to order something different so that were would be able to try the most possible options on the menu. For appetizers, we ordered Steak Tar Tar, this apricot burrata dish, and the carrot. All were exceptionally flavorful. We were also served bread with tomato purée and this amazing honey butter which I could not recommend more. Our entrees were also very yummy. Our table ordered the Dover Sole, which was this incredible white fish all the way from Norway. We also ordered the Millers Chicken that included this delish mushroom and truffle flavoring. Next, the beef tenderloin with the onion tart was like butter. It was amazing. Finally, the pork chop had a unique flavor and was perfectly accented with a sort of lime sauce. We ended with the best desserts. The lemon soufflé and strawberry soufflé were light and sweet. The rhubarb dessert was so yummy and unique. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. It's a bit on the pricier side but I think it's worth it. I had an amazing meal with amazing people.

Splendido is incredible. From the moment you walk in to the friendly folks at reception, to the atmosphere, the food and the staff - all of it is so worth the trip. We savored every bite of the dover sole, the pork chop, the hamachi - just to name a few.... A heartfelt shout out to Oggy who is so knowledgeable about the food and so personable and fun, and to Matt who is the best sommelier (in the world) and who makes each dinner there so special. You guys are the absolute best.

Beautiful location. Food was relatively tasteless. Service was average Much better value with other places in the area

Got a chance to revisit Splendido this season. Again, ambience and service were stellar. I just wish my food was as memorable....it was good, but nothing was amazing. We had the seafood tower and I ordered the duck entree, followed by the soufflé. Next time I think I'll try Beano's on the mountain.

Excellent restaurant in Beaver Creek. Great menu with many options to choose from and a well performing kitchen. We enjoyed delicious salads. Jamie choose a house green salad that was huge. I had a tomato salad. For dinner Jamie had a Chilean sea bass while I had their version of Dover Sole. Both were extraordinary. For dessert - we shared a chocolate soufflé. Highly recommended!

This place was fantastic. Best lamb I have ever had in my life honestly. Also extra brownie points for the bread. It comes with a salted whipped butter and a butternut squash spread. I could've just eaten the bread and left happy. The wine selection was really good, the ambience was great, and the people at my table thought that the chocolate soufflé was the best one they've ever had. Overall great experience. Only thing I would say is that the menu is quite Small.

We had the absolute best time. Everything was amazing, exceeded expectations. Our waitress, Lori, was super enthusiastic to tell us about what she recommended, which was exactly what we needed! She was the absolute best. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting the area. The ambiance is laid back but also entertaining. Absolute best service we've ever had!

Food was great for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, even though we had a res, we had to wait a bit to be seated. Service was great. We really enjoyed the ambiance.

Wow! This restaurant is gorgeous! The ambience is hard to beat in Beaver Creek! The food was very tasty and the service was topnotch! Moreover, the wines were fantastic and paired perfectly with every dish we ordered! I highly recommend this place!

What happened to wonderful Splendido? We were able to go twice this year, once in February and again in April. We always book it the towards end of our stay as the ultimate dining experience in Beaver Creek. My wife's favorite dish is the Dover Sole, which was once prepared with flair tableside. We noticed that the price has increased to $82, so we thought that the presentation might be more impressive. Sadly, it came in a smaller portion, already prepared, to the table. We were surprised by the change. I had the duck, which included a tasty duck breast with an unimpressive molded leg confit. The dessert souffles were smaller and dryer too, with only a tiny pot of sauce to eliminate the dryness. We asked whether the chef had changed, because the meal seemed so different from years past. We love the ambiance, and hope that Splendido will take these comments and make some changes. We hope the restaurant returns to its former glory. God bless, Marc

Amazing experience. Beautiful building and entrance sets the stage for a wonderful dinner where staff was extremely professional and accommodating. Food was incredible, both the Dover sole and rack of lamb shocked us as to how flavorful and tasty.

Pleasant setting everything from drinks to food overpriced, had the halibut special was like rubber, the appetizer cavities was amazing, my wife was very happy with her$80.00 Dover sole,when the bill came a 4% hospitality was added. I had heard so much about this restaurant I had to try it. Maybe being from NY I have higher standards

We have been coming to Splendido for the last 25 yrs and last night was by far the worst experience. The food was not even close to being up to Splendido standard. In short don't waste your money very low quality service and the food is just not worth it. Do better!

The property on which this restaurant is located is absolutely gorgeous. The menu is not only creative but delicious. Our server Lauren was fantastic, but honestly, the entire staff is amazing. What a difference from Wyld. Wyld has the Michelin star and this place does not, and I cannot understand why, because the experience at Splendido in every single way, food, ambience service, was head and shoulders above what we experienced at Wyld.

What a wonderful dinner we had at Splendido! The staffs are truly outstanding and service was very attentive. We received warm welcomes as soon as we walked in and after we had our coats checked, we were led to a table by the window offers the view of the slopes. I like the warm and elegant vibe inside the dinning room. The food was phenomenal from starter to dessert! We enjoyed the Le Bella Farms Foie Gras very much and the special of the night Scallops was absolutely appetizing. For entrees, my husband ordered the Chilean Sea Bass and it was delicious. I had the Berkshire Pork Chop, flavorful and perfectly cooked to my liking which was not dry at all. On dessert we tired the light and refreshing Lemon Soufflé, a great recommendation from our server. We had an amazing experience and wondered why it took us so long to try this place especially this is our 4th time visiting Beaver Creek! Splendido is definitely an excellent restaurant in BC, not to mention the beautiful atmosphere of The Chateau! We will be back for dinner again on our next ski trip.

Staff, management and food were fantastic... treated my 76 year old aunt on her birthday like a princess..we all loved the atmosphere and views... beautiful restaurant. Thank you Splendido

The food was fair and the service was terrible. We waited over an hour to get our entrees and a few of the entrees arrived cold. No one apologized or even offered to comp a drink or dessert. This had to be one of the most disappointing dining experiences that I have ever had especially given the big city prices.

This is the cream-de-la-cream of fine dining in Beaver creek and for that matter in Colorado. We were treated to this fine dining experience courtesy of our generous friends who are definitely well-heeled and have expensive taste. For me the entire experience - location, service, and the entire gastronomic experience is quite memorable and set the bar for dining. Oysters were amazing as was the champagne, wine and fish. The soufflé was the only thing that was mediocre. All in all great place.

Splendido is hands down my favorite restaurant in Beaver Creek and in the Vail area. It's been a long standard of my families and the one spot that we take any guests visiting Colorado to. With it's setting amongst the evergreens and aspens and the menu designed to showcase Colorado's finest, there's nothing to dislike about this restaurant. Their wine list is extensive and the general manager is a well versed sommelier and can help guide you in choosing the right wine based on your palate or preference. The menu has something for everyone but is focused on showing off what's great in Colorado. The elk, lamb rack, dover sole, and foie gras are the highlights. Finally, it's all about their soufflés. I highly recommend opting for one of their tasty soufflés for dessert. They are airy, fluffy, and delicious and my mouth is watering as I'm typing this. The flavors change seasonally so you'll have to see what suits your desires at the time, but after having tried a variety over the years, I haven't found one I haven't loved. I look forward to coming here again the next time we visit Colorado!

This was for sure the most I've ever spent on a meal, but it is definitely worth it for a special occasion. We had a fantastic experience in the yurt. Our group of 12 easily doubled the minimum amount required to book the yurt. Our waiter was wonderful - helpful and fun, we really enjoyed his recommendations. I wish I had taken a picture of the menu, I wanted to try absolutely everything. We tried the beet, salad, and seafood tower apps, all magical. I ordered the New Zealand venison which is what everyone should order; I tried a lot of friends' dishes and I thought it was the best. The margarita was my favorite cocktail. All the desserts were fantastic. The more adventurously you order, the bigger the payoff. The salmon and chicken plates were definitely good but not the thing to try here. Get crazy, you won't regret it.

The best restaurant on the mountain! We had the oysters, steak tartar, dover sole, and the bone-in steak special. The steak was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and cut like butter! The dover sole was tender and light with a creamy butter sauce. The oysters tasted fresh as did the tartar. I had a glass of the malbec which was good. The cocktails did not impress, but the food is well worth it!

Everything about this place is amazing. If you are looking for a special experience everything they serve is thought through from amazing flavors to beautiful presentation. The service is a level few ever experience and the setting is relaxed yet elegant. One of the best meals I have ever had.

Amazing restaurant!!! Every dish is unique and beyond delicious and we have tried almost everything in menu. My absolute favorite it's lemon grand marnier soufflé. I look forward every year to have it. Staff is outstanding especially Milan and service is 7 stars. Thank you Splenido!!!

Highlights: * Distinctive Fine Dining, Well Served amid Upscale Ambience * CIA Grad Exec Chef and Co-Owner Brian Ackerman delivers the Classics * Colorado Lamb, Dover Sole, Caviar, Oysters, Ahi Tuna and Fine Wine succeed Splendido opened in 1994 in the opulent Chateau at Beaver Creek and over a decade ago Brian Ackerman joined the team to eventually become co-owner. The original owners had named the restaurant after their favorite place in Portofino, Italy. Brian grew up in a typical American family without an appreciation for fine cuisine, but while at business school took some restaurant jobs. One restaurant lead to another, after which he grew a passion for fine food. He eventually enrolled in the esteemed Culinary Institute of America and took some jobs on the East Coast, had an offer in San Francisco before eventually falling in love with Colorado. He worked for a while at Sweet Basil before landing at Splendido and now runs Splendido with a great team. Before I get to the food I want to give thanks to Brian and his team for cooking for the first responders during Covid and donating meals to the Community Market a local non profit. If you are trying to choose between Grouse Mountain Grill and Splendido, choose Splendido. The quality of the food and the elegant simplicity of the presentation is hands down better by far. Grouse has a beautiful setting but as I will write in a review later, the food is overly rich, poorly executed and stuck somewhere in the 1980s. The only other restaurants in the area in Splendido's class is Mirabelle and Sweet Basil for food and Matsuhisa for a different Japanese experience. We started with a dozen Kusshi oysters ($48). We then sampled the the Ahi Tuna appetizer with tomato, jalapeños, red onions, calamata olive and cilantro ($23). We were looking forward to trying the Colorado Lamb, ($59) and it did not disappoint, served with vadouvan-carrot, kale, quinoa, yogurt. As with all the dishes the accompaniments are subtle, not overpowering, allowing for the quality of the star of the show, in this case the great lamb, to shine through. Our server Kevin recommended the Dover Sole ($55) and it was a good choice as well. A bottle of Domaine Raymond Usseglio & Fils Chateauneuf du Pape 2018 ($120) was a fine accompaniment for the variety of food. To summarize, if you're on a short vacation in Beaver Creek/Vail be sure to stop at Splendido. Other worthwhile stops as mentioned are Mirabelle, Matsushia and Sweet Basil in Vail. Beano's Cabin is an interesting experience to do one time, the food is good, but not at the level of the others mentioned.

This has and is one of the great restaurants in the all of Bail Valley. We were greeted by Matt the host and seated at a table about half way down. The service was excellent and the food was divine! We both had a special lobster and masked potato dish that was of the charts!!!!!!! We have been here three times so far this year but we failed to write reviews. All three times this staff has risen to the standard of excellence!

Went there with friends tonight. Food medicore at best and service was terrible. Waited over 1 hour for our first course appetizers to arrive. Asked to see the manager (Billy) who basically did nothing to explain how 3 tables around us who arrived after us were already on their main courses. He was useless and did not even have the courtesy to offer any accommodation. 30 mins later our mains finally came - brought to 1 of the 4 of us, the other 3 came 10 mins later. Food was cold - must have been sitting in the Kitchen. There are so many great restaurants in the Vail Valley. This is NOT one of them. Avoid it like the plague.

The whole experience was wonderful. The food exquisite. The staff impeccable. It's one of my most favorite restaurants in beaver Creek. The

I had top service wonderful food and wine. The artichoke salad and sea bass was just fabulous. We finished with a lemon soufflé was a stunning way to complete the night. From valet yonIa make truly creative cocktails to service thank you for the best experience

TEN OUT OF TEN! YES! This is thee best restaurant in the beav. Prices are fair and the food is outstanding!!!! The staff!!!! So so so so so so sooooo genuinely sweet! Ana is a goddess, so kind and talented! She goes above and beyond with grace, adore!!! Milan is so fantastic, he has a sweet presence and made us feel like we were the only folks in the room. The food was so well prepared and delicious. We overindulged but it was worth it! Can't wait to come back and act like gluttons again.

I give the food 4-5 stars if you order the lamb or sirloin but the service was about 2 stars since it took over an hour to get our entrees with no good explanation since it wasn't even that busy. The scallop and truffle appetizer special was tasty but over priced. The lamb entree was hearty and delicious. The sirloin I sampled was also excellent. The bread basket came with a honey butter that was unique and melted in your mouth. Unfortunately the service was really spotty and slow. We had reservations for five people at 8:30 on Friday night. After waiting an hour for our entrees we asked what was taking so long and the waiters response was, "they are clearing the board". This made absolutely no sense whatsoever. The ambiance and decor are fancy and nice but the live musician was singing out of tune along with kids and drunk people so that got kinda old really fast since we had to wait so long for our food. I want to give this place a higher rating but based on our overall experience I cannot. Come for the food but be prepared to wait for a very LONG time. If you want to kill time by having alcohol then be prepared to spend at least $20 on average for a drink.

We had a lovely dinner with family to kick off our wedding weekend and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Kevin was incredibly attentive and thoughtful. I also appreciated that the restaurant accommodated my vegan diet and tailor made my meal. What a great way to kick off the festivities!! Thank you, Kevin and team!

The. BEST. Meal. In. The. Valley. Best staff, composed apps, most amazing Caesar, Perfectly flavored and prepared lamb, lemon/elderberrry soufflé, key lime granita-graham awesomeness, etc. Much Love

We enjoyed a wonderful meal at Splendido at the Chateau. The service and food were wonderful! Our favorites were the scallop crudo, lamb chops, Dover sole and the dessert! The only item we did not love was the spanish octopus, as it was extremely salty. We did not have time to photograph the dessert as we ate it so quickly!! Highly recommend Splendido!!

Splendido more than lives up to its name. We came here for dinner and loved it so much, we came back again! The restaurant is located in a hotel at the top of a windy mountain road. There isn't a bad seat in the place: the first night, we were seated next to the open kitchen and got to watch a well-organized, professionally manned staff at work, and the second night, we were seated close to the live music and got really into the performer's music selection (maybe a bit too into it, but that's what vacation's for, right?). Service is lovely: our waiter on the first night, Nick, was friendly and enthusiastic about the menu, and when we informed him that our shuttle was about to arrive, he made sure to rush us our check so we were able to make the shuttle. Our waiter on the second night, Milan, was just as friendly and helped us make some great appetizer decisions (thanks for suggesting the baby octopus - it was so, so good!). Splendido's waitstaff in general was one of the best we've encountered at any mountain resort, and we also noticed that the manager took the time to go around to every table to make sure everyone was enjoying their meal. The staff also remembered us the second night, which was such an unexpected pleasure for us city dwellers (in contrast, I've been going to the same coffee shop in DC three times a week for a year and a half and I'm 90% sure they still don't know who I am). Onto the food: the menu descriptions really don't do the food justice. Every dish was perfectly cooked and well-seasoned, and the kitchen used quality ingredients from Dover sole to tender cuts of duck breast and almost sweet, not at all gamey portions of venison, and seasonal elements like a local squash that I'd never heard of before. The seafood tower was steeply priced at $90, but whereas other restaurants will simply serve a bunch of cold seafood thrown over ice, Splendido's tower featured scallop ceviche, tuna tartare, and caviar-topped langoustine tail with a creamy sauce, all of which we watched the kitchen staff painstakingly plate, as well as plump raw oysters, stone crab claws so fresh, the meat just slid out, and shrimp cocktails. We also loved the soufflé, which is such a rarity in restaurants these days - it was perfectly puffed and so tasty, we ended up ordering two for the table our second night! Entrée-wise, we particularly enjoyed the Dover sole (filleted tableside and served with a brown butter sauce), the duck (served with a brandied cherry sauce), the Colorado lamb, and the monkfish-short rib entrée (described to us as their take on surf-and-turf). I could go on about our wonderful experience, but the length of this review is already getting out of hand - suffice to say, everything we ordered was so excellent and the service made us feel so welcome, we were absolutely sure that we wouldn't enjoy the other place we'd made reservations at nearly as much and decided instead to spend one more evening at Splendido - and we were very, very glad that we did.

Beautiful setting and delicious food! Great wines and a helpful and knowledgeable staff. Top notch

My partner and I dined at Splendido at The Chateau in Beaver Creek, CO on Monday, January 20, 2020. Wow were we disappointed! We spent over $300 on two appetizers, two entrees and three glasses of wine for both of us. The dining experience for the price was on the same level as any other chain family casual restaurant scattered across the country. We had the octopus and beet citrus salad. The octopus was cooked and seasoned well and after that, I can't make any other positive comments. The salad was ok, nothing special. We had the NY strip and the bison loin. Again, cooked to order, but not high-quality cuts of meat (again, for the money go to a chain steakhouse as it is the same quality). Finally, the service was poor. I get it, some restaurants just have poor staff, but are redeemed with excellent food. Or the team is just having a bad night, but again the kitchen saves. I think our experience was the best Splendido has to offer and it was not worth it. When we return to Beaver Creek, we will not dine at Splendido and of course, we do not recommend this restaurant to friend or foe.

My family and I came here for Christmas Eve dinner, and being Italian, it's tradition to eat seven fishes. Therefore, we started off with the seafood platter, which consisted of king crab claws, tuna, lobster salad, scallops, shrimp and oysters. It also came with salmon, but my finally not being huge salmon fans asked to replace the salmon with more of the fish already on the platter. It was absolutely incredible: the shrimp was probably the most incredible shrimp I've had in a long time, the scallops had some sort of Thai flavor to it that made absolutely delicious and the lobster salad was gone within seconds from everyone fighting over it. For an entree, I had the Dover sole, which was unbelievable. It was prepared perfectly with a side of assorted vegetables and potatoes. The only mistake was that it came with a side of brown butter sauce which was too much of a dominant flavoring for the fish. Overall, the experience was (as always) magical. I will always continue to come to this restaurant every time we visit the area. The service was great, the atmosphere was absolutely stunning and filled with Christmas spirit. For dessert, they had a coconut snowman special and a chocolate almond Christmas tree special, which was the perfect way to end our evening.

The best restaurant in the Valley, hands down. It's pricey, but well worth it. From the food, service, ambiance, and all of the rest of the other little details, nothing is unattended to at this luxurious venue. Just sitting at the bar enjoying the music is such a pleasure. Never have I had such a lovely time waiting for a table (came without a reservation. Shame on me.)

Looking for the best dining experience in Beaver Creek?! Look no further! I had no idea what I was getting into when booking my reservation, at the suggestion of a driver! Our table was located next to a glass wall for full visibility into the kitchen, basically a chef's table. The foie gras alone is worth going for and I would say that even if you think you don't like foie gras, you will love this version! I got the lamb and my boyfriend got the steak. The lamb is definitely a winner on this menu! The wine menu is pretty exceptional as well. They have an in-house pastry chef as well. And the service- outstanding. I'd put this restaurant against any top restaurant around the country.

Perfect 4 star restaurant. Excellent menu including a variety of basic upscale food options with a few surprises. Overall, it seemed like the chefs took their time to freshly choose and prepare the meal which was much appreciated. I recommend the dove sole entree for fish and the buffalo ribeye for red meat. We enjoyed most of the plates, but skipped out on desserts completely due to the poor service. For a $100/person meal you should expect the best of everything. There was much to be desired and I hope they can throughly train the staff in the future. Half of our wine glasses were empty most of the time. We had to fill them ourselves, ask for more water and remind them to bring the main sauce for an entree dish. We received several dirty looks from servers when asking.

I had a nice date night here. The Dover sole was good, we really enjoyed the caviar appetizer, and the Christmas Ornament dessert was really fun.

Splendido is one of my Favorite restaurants. Chef Brian's food is locally sourced, imaginative, and most importantly, delicious!! It's great fun to sit near the back of the restaurant and watch "The Show" in the open kitchen. Thank you for always providing amazing food and a delightful evening out.

The service was soooooo good. The main courses came out very timely. And, the strawberry sundae was out of this world, it came with all kinds of sides including candy gummies, cotton candy, brownie pieces, sprinkles and chocolate sauce. Highly recommend!

Having just dined on 9/24 I can't help but feel very disappointed and let down. This was my 3rd time visiting Splendido, as summer/fall trips have become the norm for us the last three years. The food is exquisite as always and the service USUALLY has always been top notch. However, tonight fell short. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and saved Splendido for our last night in Beaver Creek. From the moment we sat down, our server Kevin was not interested in taking care of us. He didn't ask where we were visiting from, our names, if we had dined before, or if we had any questions regarding the menu. He disappeared after the water and specials for about 15 minutes before coming back to the table ready to take our order. I hadn't even been offered a drink order. When I asked if I could order a cocktail first, he seemed put off. We eventually placed our order with him and that was the last we saw him until the check arrived. He was busy chatting it up with other tables and providing them attentive service, but left me wondering why we weren't being treated the same. Perhaps he felt uncomfortable serving a same sex couple as evidenced by his gruff and harsh demeanor towards us. We were nothing but polite and his behavior was atrocious and made us feel unwelcome. The only saving grace was the server assistant Ryan. Between clearing our plates, filling our waters and providing more bread, she sensed something wasn't right and actually took the time to ask. She was so pleasant, sweet, and kind and actually turned the night around for us. Thank you, Ryan! Overall, the food was amazing. However, with appetizers and salads at $20 and entrees at $50, you expect a certain service standards ...such as an offer to take a cocktail order. I would have reservations about coming here next year and more apt to patronize an establishment that would be more welcoming to a couple such as my husband and myself.

Most awesome place in the vail area. It's a must go Great views, wines and champagne selections. Never dissatisfied with this fabulous restaurant.

Splendido is such an amazing beautiful place to visit and dine while you are in Beaver Creek. We visit every year and this year with covid restrictive measures, we were not sure if we would be able to dine here. We were thrilled to find out we could and the food was amazing. We had the duck and the lamb chops followed by the upside down pineapple butter cake! Wow what a nice treat. Highly recommend this place.
