I consider myself a professional diner...meaning I am out 3-4 nights a week, and Northside Kitchen is my most favorite restaurant in the Vail Valley. I usually dine at the bar where either Connor or Brandon are not only offering service with a smile, but are also welcoming everyone who walks through the door! Their custom cocktails are awesome, but I go for their insanely extensive wine by the glass menu!! Caymus, Silver Oak, Duckhorn, Quilt, and about 40 other high end wines are all offered by the glass at Northside! Both 6oz and 9oz pours are available. The dining staff, are professional, pressed, and knowledgeable about wine, food, and professional fine dining service levels. The dining room offers beautiful white linen covered in butchers paper, with the perfect level of lighting to see both the menu and the guests you are dining with. The dining room and porch are modern and clean. The menu items, created by Chef Noah Bender, are delicious! Hand cut steaks and Prime Rib are favs, but don't be afraid to try their pappardelle Bolognese or the fantastic fresh "sea to table" black cod or trout! It's dynamite! You will find the service in the dining room attentive yet not overwhelming. Northside Kitchen to me is one of the most underrated fine dining restaurants in the Vail Valley!! Definitely go give this great spot a try!!

I ordered the French dip, and it was yummy. I liked how the chef butter the bread, giving it a nice crisp. The cheese and shaved ribeye all went well together with the caramelized onions. The French onion soup was excellent! There was no cornstarch, and it was soupy. I would come back just for this dish! Salmon was a frozen product and dry, but the salad saved it. The service was not good. Our server was not attentive. I had to ask for everything from straws to napkins. I wanted to order a glass of wine, but the time he came to check on me, I was almost done with my meal. When the food came out, he did not come by. So don't expect good service when you go there.

Our server was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with providing recommendations. We started off with the bread and fondue. The fondue was a big hit with our table, and the cheese was so tasty. The bread was also good, and had a nice unique taste. For mains I tried some of the following: -steak frites: delicious and cooked perfectly, and a huge portion of delicious fries -mussels: definitely a miss, and tasted a bit too salty and the sizes were pretty inconsistent -filet: amazing -mushroom ravioli: absolutely horrible, literally the worst ravioli I've ever had -cacio e pepe: sooo tasty, but tastes was more like carbonara vs a traditional cacio e pepe. I liked the presentation and really loved the pork too. I would definitely recommend sticking with the meats here, as the pasta and seafood were major misses (except the cacio e Pepe was amazing) Overall a solid option for a nicer meal, but not the greatest place ever.

We weren't asked if we wanted it split - this made it $25, which was not worth it. I opted for the table side cacio e pepe which was super cheesey and also had delicious pork belly blended in.

We weren't hungry for dessert but the table next to us got a unique mason jar dessert that looked like it was packed with chocolatey goodness.

It was a little embarrassing as other guests who had blankets as well chuckled at the one I had been given. I was not going to use it, but unfortunately for me, the August evening was rather chilly and I had to use the silly blanket over my beautiful dress. The food, like I said was delicious, our favorite was the fire roasted cauliflower I had chosen for my main. Truly the best cauliflower I've ever had. Although I cannot remember her name, our waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable. Buy more appropriate blankets please.

For such a "ritzy" and expensive place, the service is below average which I think is because they are under staffed. Hey business owners! Want a better review?

Service is always very good with attentiveness to filling water (gotta stay hydrated in the mountains!). Note: it's pricey, but you'll expect that if you're dining here!

They provided blankets so everyone could stay warm, and the ride itself gave us the chance to relax and take in the beautiful views on the way up, it really set the tone for the night. Once we arrived, the food completely stole the show. I was a bit unsure what to order, so our waiter asked what I would normally choose if anything was available. I mentioned that I usually go for a steak but prefer it without fatty cuts. He recommended the elk, and I am so glad I trusted his suggestion. It was absolutely phenomenal! So tender it quite literally melted in my mouth, and the flavor profile was rich, balanced, and beautifully prepared. We also ordered the Brussels sprouts au gratin, which were perfection- creamy, flavorful, and the ideal side to complement the elk. We enjoyed some champagne with dinner, which made the whole experience feel even more celebratory. To finish, we had an apple crisp dessert with toffee, and it was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Warm, comforting, and just the right amount of sweetness. Between the scenic sleigh ride, the incredible food, and the thoughtful service, Zach's Cabin is truly a special dining experience. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the Avon/Vail area and who is willing to splurge on a perfect dining experience.

(It is cold so bundle up - there are blankets but the prior guests have probably let them fall on the floor or get snowy on both sides.) There's a roaring fire near the bar, wonderful food, and really nice service. The sommelier had a most welcome wine suggestion (and didn't try to embarrass us by only recommending $200+ wines when we asked to stay under $100). Our server (Katie, maybe?) was on top of things the whole time. I loved her menu suggestions. I had the lasagna -- very cosy and filling, and not actually lasagna-like. It almost tasted like a dense soufflé with bolognese and bechamel. Delicious. The real star was the carrot cake dessert. If it's on the menu, do not pass this by. Start with it, in fact. Get two pieces (one portion was nicely sized but I could have downed an entire cake without stopping). It was plainly served but packed the most awesome browned butter creaminess I've ever had.
