   We were so excited to come here this week we actually made 3 reservations, 2 for dinner and one for lunch, as it was easily our favorite restaurant the last time we came here 2 years ago. Not sure what happened but food was not good. Appetizers were ok but entrees were inedible. Place was so loud it was hard to talk. We cancelled the other reservations as not sure what happened but this place has gone downhill.

   This was our second trip to Mountain Standard and we haven’t been disappointed yet. Our first visit was at lunch about a year ago and it was fantastic, so we decided to give it a try during the dinner hour. All 5 in our party ordered a different entree and we were all blown away. The rotisserie chicken, the pork shank, the tri tip, the salmon crudo and the pork chop were all excellent choices. The pork chop was juicy and tender-cooked perfectly. Highly recommend the country ham biscuits with pepper jelly and the smoked salmon appetizer. And do not miss the frozen Snickers bar dessert. It’s worth it for the fun presentation alone! There was not one aspect of our meal that was not outstanding. The only issue (not a big deal) was that the large party next to us was loud. Not unexpected, given the location. No matter, it wouldn’t stop me from going back. No wonder I had to wake up in the middle of the night, exactly 30 days prior to make a reservation! And I’ll happily do it again on my next visit. Make sure you “order” the kitchen sauce on the dessert menu ($15) to buy the kitchen staff a round of beers. They loudly show their appreciation! So much fun! A great way to give them a “way to go”!

   Our family of four visited Mountain Standard by recommendation from a friend. Very tough to get a reservation, and we were put on a list a month ago. The reservation came through while we’re were in Vail, so we moved some things around and visited the establishment on 3/22. The vibe is cool and the decor is contemporary. The server was very attentive the entire time, and our water glasses were always full. My wife had some altitude and dehydration issues, and the server and team made sure she was okay throughout the dinner. We appreciated that special attention. The appetizers were amazing, and the baba ganoush was incredible. The dinners were very tasty. I had the pork chop, and it was full of flavor with sauces and pecans on top and on the side. The kids each had the tri tip and my wife loved the chicken. The desserts were creative, and their version of tiramisu was terrific. They have time limits on tables, but they never pushed us. We enjoyed Mountain Standard immensely and will return. Vail has many fine restaurants, but Mountain Standard is definitely near the top!

   Great food and ambience but pretty poor service… certainly understaffed in the front of the house.
