    Tiny little venue nestled in the mountains. I have seen two shows here and love this place! Winter or summer, it's pretty incredible with a ton of amenities.

    What a fantastic outdoor venue up in beautiful Vail, Colorado! What better way to finish off the Oktoberfest then by seeing Death Cab for Cutie up there! We loved the large seating area and lawn sections. Opting for a late ticket still got us nearly 20 rows back and really close to the band! The venue is located a bit down the road past the transport center, and pretty easy to get to. There's a pretty nature center and it's set right in the pine trees and along the creek. I thought the staff was nice and I enjoyed the merch tent. Sound quality was great and for the money, you can sit really close to your favorite artist!

    The lawn tickets are the best experience in Vail. Special $5 pricing for 12 and under kids. Fabulous venue and great staff. Good value food on site. They'll let you bring your own small side Yeti cooler of food.

    Great music venue with an incredible amphitheater that's built to last, lots of hardwoods and meticulously clean. Came to a Bravo/Vail music festival series to see/hear Joshua Bell. Has lawn seating where people line up 1 hr before to get a center seat and they have stadium seating. There's concessions of food, snacks and a full bar along with bottles of wine you can carry to your seats. Top notch organization running this amphitheater that's both professional and not invasive. I was well pleased with attending the music festival. Venue can a bit country, so don't hesitate to wear a red plaid shirt, jeans and a cowboy hat to the venue. I never seen so many men chinos pants since I was working in Financial services.

    The Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater is nestled in a serene natural setting along Gore Creek, with the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens as a backdrop. Beyond the covered seating, a manicured lawn provides casual space for beach chairs or blankets. Bring your own food, or buy it there, as well as alcohol (no outside alcohol). The Free Tuesday Night Concerts were the place to be during Summer. Packed audiences enjoyed the cool Summer Nights. Weekend Concert tickets start @ $35. Special events were held, celebrating the Amphitheater's 30th Anniversary. From Solo Artists to Orchestras, all gave amazing performances. A variety of musical genres was presented.

    Dancers stretching on the stage!

    Awesome place to see a concert! It's like a mini-Hollywood Bowl. Bring an umbrella! You can also bring your own food.

    “Sitting in the lawn was a great idea, with enough room for a toddler to run around and the music carried beautifully out of the amphitheater for us.”

    I had a good experience here a few years ago, but this time was much more disappointing…read more The conundrum cocktail was a cool presentation, and we got some wines by the glass. Food: - French onion soup: not overly salty, the short rib is nice, but it's pretty small - Tuna tartare: this had a good kick to it - Pork Belly Porchetta: good flavor, not too fatty, good sides - a solid dish - Purple cabbage: pretty rich and meaty, interesting and good on a cold day Portions were on the smaller side. My main issue is that service started out good, but then our server went MIA because like they assigned him tables in various parts of the restaurant, which makes no sense and sets him up for failure, so I think it's a management issue. I was not happy that I had to flag down multiple other people for a water refill, another wine order, and dessert. The food itself was good, but service was just really disappointing. Honestly, I feel bad for our server - he was well intentioned but was dealt a rough assignment. Note: there's also a 3% credit card surcharge, which I've NEVER seen at any other high end restaurant.

    The food was delicious, fresh and presented well. Service staff was helpful, extremely friendly…read moreand knowledgeable. We sat inside as the night was cool, modern dining room with large windows.
