It's pretty casual, the staff there are always cool as hell and they have a great, albeit small selection of beers on tap. Not just IPA's which is a nice change from many other places. The food is good too. It's Vail village so you're not getting a free appetizer with your purchase, but it's a better deal than many in the area. Breakfast burritos are the bomb! In the winter, aprés is pretty good to but it's small and fills up fast.

**15/10; iconic, must be protected at all costs**…read more My girlfriend and I are in Vail for the weekend to watch dogs jump into water, as one does. We're staying at the Grand Hyatt, which has been... fine. Meh, if we're being honest. A local recommended Mountain Standard, so we tried to make a reservation on OpenTable and quickly learned they were booked solid until tomorrow (a great data point, btw). But, being the swarthy pirates that we are, we showed up anyway; and thank sweet baby Jesus, we found two seats at the bar. Our barkeep, Gummow, a fellow swarthy pirate, was excellent in every possible way. His bar back, Rowan, could not have been a better support man. Together, they delivered the kind of service that makes you remember why hospitality is an art form. And the food? Absolutely to die for. My girlfriend had the oxtail, and I had the mock paella. Both were incredible. The service, the food, the environment; every facet was dialed in. We will be going back tomorrow for lunch, possibly dinner, and possibly to inquire about monthly rent. As a former service industry worker myself, real recognize real. This place and these people are it. Mountain Standard is iconic and must be protected at all costs.

This place is popular as we walked by 45 minutes before and already a bunch waiting as they have great creek side seating for maybe 6 tables. If being a tourist you should walk by and check in for waiting list seating as this place can be crowded. We came early and sat in the bar and I found it pretty hospitable the bar staff especially Rohan was great and helped pick some local whiskey. Got seated when our guest arrived with great seating. The food was good although not memorable as what I expected. Hard to compare as one of my first times at Beaver Creek Village. I can definitely see dropping by the bar as I'm sure there wouldn't be the wait needed for tables

The gondola is cool because we had our own speak to play whatever we pleased! It felt very private and intimate which I really enjoyed. I loved the decor throughout the restaurant and our gondola had cute little touches as well. For example they had a coo coo clock that when off every hour. For drinks I tried their feuerzangenbowle and the muled wine. My husband got a Hugo spritz and jagertee. I loved my drinks the feuerzangenbowle uses flambé which was so cool!, it's pretty similar to the muled wine. Muled wine is always a favorite of mine when the weather gets cold! Our server was awesome and super attentive. He answered any questions we had and was very friendly. The gondolas have a set menu we ended up ordering more that was on the set menu since I wanted fondue and my husband wanted the raclette. We added on a fondue, ordered the raclette that came on our fixed menu and added on steak, along with the pretzel that comes as an appetizer. The food was really good, I think it is also just so cozy and suiting for the cold weather! Fondue and raclette are also just such a fun way to dine! Highly recommend and definitely will be back just to try the standard experience too without the gondola.

My girlfriend and I walked in and got sat at a table. 5 mins in the manger lady comes over and starts making my gf and I feel so unwelcome. She was suppose to reserve that table for the owner. But there was no reserved sign on the table when we got sat there. So she started to tell table around us about the table issue and it made us feel so uncomfortable. On top of that she was giving us attitude the whole time. Now the owner... I feel terrible for the people who have to work for this lady. After 30 mins of us sitting there and having a drink and some snacks. She walks over and gave us some much attitude and was said "WASNT THERE A RESERVED SIGN ON THIS TABLE? Because this is my table!" we quickly replied no there wasn't. Whole time the manager was also there rolling her eyes at us and giving us a face. These ladies continued to make us feel so uncomfortable for the next couple minutes. So I just paid and left. I didn't even want to pay to be honest. We're paying customers, we did nothing to be treated this way. The owner is some old grumpy entitled lady with some money. I WOULD NOT COME BACK.
