During happy hour, even though we were in the back room, the music was so loud, you could barely hear yourself talk. Go after 6 if you can get a table. Price was high but I had the rib eye at $69 and it was excellent.

The only advantage they have is location as service and the food is not the reason to eat there. After my steak arrived it was garnished with a side of mash potatoes. I realized that it was the wrong steak and the waiter said “opps my bad.” This delayed my dinner as I ate alone as my colleague was already finished. To top it off they did not replace the mash potoates. When the correct steak arrived - it wasnt that good but at this point I did not want to cause a scene. Very unprofessional and dissapointing. Its clear that the quality/service is deteriorating at the Vail Chophouse.

I was disappointed with Vail Chophouse this time. We couldn’t get a standard table, only a high table, even though we made a reservation 4 weeks in advance. We’ve been told that all standard tables reserved but there were 2 tables next to our available for entire time. The stake was way undercooked and we had to return it. It used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Vail for years… not anymore.
