Elegant lodge kitchen with live piano, caviar, lamb, and soufflé
"Set above Beaver Creek village on a sprawling property, the setting is at once grand and comfortable, evoking a sense of special occasion without fuss, with warm woods inside creating an upscale, lodge-like feel and warm, attentive service that makes you feel like royalty. A thoughtful menu overseen by longtime chef Brian Ackerman straddles creative and classic, seen in a pomegranate-marinated rack of Colorado lamb, while Dover sole is pan-seared before being adroitly filleted tableside and served with brown butter beurre blanc—a staple for good reason. End with an airy soufflé, or opt for something a bit more nostalgic, like a chocolate and peanut butter pave." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Set inside the Chateau Beaver Creek, Splendido is one of those places that make everyone look like they arrived via private helicopter. Start things off with Vail Valley’s best dirty martini—shaken with light vermouth, the perfect amount of olive juice, and served at just the right temperature (teeth-numbingly cold). Based on the posh atmosphere, the menu makes total sense: caviar, foie gras, a Colorado lamb rack, and seasonal specials that hit perfectly for whatever the weather is doing outside. Leave room for dessert, especially if you like soufflé." - kim fuller

"You might think the name lays things on a bit thick, but the setting is as grand and as comfortable as could be hoped for, and the warm, attentive service is sure to make you feel like royalty. Looking beyond the glamorous environs, you'll find a thoughtful menu overseen by longtime chef Brian Ackerman, which straddles the line between creative and classic, seen in a pomegranate-marinated rack of Colorado lamb. Dover sole, pan-seared before being adroitly filleted tableside and served with brown butter beurre blanc, is a menu staple for good reason.

"Crystal chandeliers, a piano bar, and an open kitchen make for a dramatic and romantic dinner setting inside the gorgeous Chateau Beaver Creek guest lodge. The elegant, white-tablecloth service starts with seafood towers, smoked ham consomme, and Petrossian caviar, followed by sophisticated specialties like swordfish au poivre, Colorado lamb rack, and Long Island duck. And don’t forget to save room for a pillowy lemon or chocolate souffle for dessert." - Katie Shapiro
