Mountain Standard

The food was excellent and the vanilla custard pie was delicious. You do need a reservation. Our server was nice, however, it was disappointing that when ordering one of their specialty drinks we asked to simply substitute ginger ale for ginger beer (not a ginger beer fan). The server said no, nothing could be changed. A bit disappointed and really started the meal on a negative tone. While they kept checking in, the coat check was nice, it left us feeling that customer service was a bit of a let down especially for the cost of dinner and drinks.

Delicious!!! We loved the atmosphere with the open kitchen, nice music and great service. We were in and out within an hour with drinks, apps, entrees and a dessert! Our server Kendall was fantastic! Our toddler has an egg allergy, and she does as well so she was super accommodating to him and was very informative on what he could and couldn’t have before it was brought to the table. Our picky toddler ate his entire wagyu beef hot dog! We would definitely return if we’re back in the area!

Stopped in for lunch while visiting Vail Village for the afternoon and totally worth it. Slight wait to be seated as only 2 waiters today, but they did great. Mu husband and I started with the warm pimento cheese and pepper jam and toasted bread and a country ham bisquit for each of us. Both were fabulous. We split the grilled crab and cheese sandwich and soup and ordered an extra bowl of soup. The cheese was a perfect contrast to the crab on the sandwich and the porky tomato soup was great too. We left pleasantly full and very happy with our meal.

Mountain Standard is a standout in Vail for both lunch and dinner, with service that feels genuinely welcoming, attentive, and well paced. The kitchen clearly takes pride in ingredient quality and execution. The food is fresh, deeply flavorful, and built around combinations that feel creative and intentional, not trendy for the sake of it. It is absolutely a chef driven restaurant. I started with the octopus appetizer. The octopus itself was cooked perfectly, tender with the right bite, and the overall flavor profile was delicious. The only element that felt unnecessary to me was the black beans. They distracted from the dish rather than adding anything essential, so I removed them. Aside from that, it was excellent, and the avocado slices added a great creamy texture that worked beautifu

This place was insane! The cocktails and food were incredible. Amazing experience. Our bartender/waiter Sparrow was a true homie and guided us through all the best choices. He made our night even more special.
