Best Family Style Restaurants in Vail

Josh and his team provided another great dining experience, as usual. Highly recommend.

We came away from a Christmas dinner here truly wowed. The friendly server named Jamoy took us through the menu with care, providing his recommendations. We started the evening with cocktails, well-balanced and refined. The biscuit was as hands down one of the best things I’ve ever tasted! The pimento cheese was savoury and delicious. The tuna tataki was fresh and delicate. And the wood grilled pork chop was nothing short of a piece de resistance! This menu was inventive beyond expectation. The melange of flavours put this place near the top of the heap in all of Colorado, in my humble opinion. I can’t wait to come back. Gratitude to the chef, servers, and other staff who made this such a delightful experience.

We have eaten at many restaurants in the Vail valley (avon, eagle, vail,) area. This is our current fave. We went Christmas night and was seated in the library. The ambience was excellent, just not the hustle bustle of the dining room. The service was excellent and the christmas special duck was absolutely the best duck I’ve ever had. My husband had the snapper. It was fantastic albiet the dish was small. But it was so good. The tuna carparccio was also excellent to share as an app. Highly recommend this place. It is pricey.

This is our favorite Japanese restaurant in the world. Highly recommend all of these items. It is a perfect balance of cold and warm and the progression is great. Yellowtail jalapeño Oysters Nobu salsa Cucumber Sunomono salad Miso soup Black cod lettuce cups Octopus, King Crab and Yellowtail nigiri sushi Grilled cauliflower with jalapeño Miyazaki Wagyu beef Tuesday we just walked in and sat at the bar. You need to start lining up if you walk in at 4:30 and you either get last minute cancelled tables, bar, or sushi bar. Otherwise you have to wait for the second turn. For reservations on Christmas we were thankfully in Paris so the timezone was manageable, because reservations open up at midnight of the timezone the restaurant is in. Likely to sell out quickly on the weekends or peak season. Hope this helps!

Wonderful Christmas dinner 2025! Would definitely go back. Great food and service.
