The Gashouse Restaurant

We were a wedding party with a fixed menu. We had a choice of the bison ribeye with mixed veggies and baked potatoes or fries. Our salad was mixed greens or a Ceasar. To finish it off Apple pie, or key lime pie. All of the courses were very generous. I had the bison. It was cooked as I ordered, medium rare and was an 11 on my 1 to 10 score. My mixed veggies were peas, carrots and squash off the chain. The only negative comment from the entire wedding party, said their stake had too much grisel. Great job guys . When it came to service the wait staff were great. We will tell our friends about you restaurant.

Cool atmosphere with all the taxidermied animals. Service was a little slow but the waiter was polite and the people were polite. Overall. I got the baby back ribs and they were fine but a little bit flavorless except for the barbecue sauce. I felt like more time could have been spent getting flavor into the meat. He also got sirloin steak medium rare. It was also more on the dry side and a little overcooked. All in all, after spending $100 for two entrees and two drinks, I just don't feel like the value is there for the taste of the food.

When we first arrived, we were not greeted with a "hello" or "welcome." It was 5:28 (reservation was at 5:30 and the restaurant posted a fifteen minute grace period, so we were early in arrival). Our party of 10 was mostly there, with three individuals on their way (a few minutes out). The host (a tall male fellow with an angry countenance), said to us as SOON as we entered (the restaurant was EMPTY), "If you're whole party isn't here, we will have issues." He still sat us (It was 5:30 by this time) and we received ice water from our server, whom was very friendly. The front desk host then came over to our table, at 5:35, and said very rudely, "If your three are not here in the next minute, we will have a HUGE PROBLEM!" His countenance was so rude and he spoke very angrily with a gruff voice. Keep in mind, it was 5:35 and the restaurant had only two other tables being served. We even heard one of the other servers rushing the patrons to order. He said, "I can't wait long on your order." It was absolutely the rudest service we've ever received. Our party got up and left. There were 7 of us at the time and our three were just entering (at 5:36 pm). The host didn't say a word but defended himself and said he was "only doing his job." There was no apology for how we were spoken to. There were no smiles, only scowls and sneers. The Gashouse, as it may have been a great establishment in the past, has gotten very very bad. I give it 1 star only because I feel so sad for our server who would have gotten a HUGE tip from 10 people that love to eat and drink the finest foods. We will never go there again. The host made us feel bad about ourselves, like we were a huge problem. There was no respect and no kindness shown. We are Oklahomans, and we don't ever receive this kind of treatment in our state. It was Appalling.

Absolutely amazing food and phenomenal service. I will definitely be returning here in the future. The salmon was the best I’ve ever eaten and the apple cobbler cocktail was quite tasty!

Really enjoyed this restaurant. Buffalo Burger was best burger I ever had. Had it cooked medium rare. Elk bites very tender. We sat outside as it was a beautiful day. Highly recommend.

Great food, great service. BLT had what seems to be 2lbs of meat. Game appetizer was great. Also had the lamp chops.

Overall, a nice menu with lots of options. Atmosphere was nice, but workers standing around and cursing while talking among themselves, was conduct that needs to change.

Possibly my favorite spot in vail area. Great flavors with lots of game meats. If you haven’t had an elk steak yet, that’s a must order here. I also enjoyed the quail, jackalope sausage and the key lime pie.
