I had a good experience here a few years ago, but this time was much more disappointing. 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. read more

BEST MEAL WE HAD IN VAIL. We chanced upon La Tour before going to a concert up the hill. Food, ambience, and service were excellent. We enjoyed a half dozen oysters, which were delicious, the salad with heirloom tomatoes greens (we switched out the chèvre for blue cheese),plus we shared the black truffle miso marinated cod. JUST WOW. The sommelier recommended a dry riesling which paired perfectly. read more

This is one of the best restaurants in the US! They do not yet have a star from a certain French Tire Co., but they have been nominated a number of times. Unlike many of those who have this distinction La Tour is still trying with every meal they serve, and it is so evident, and so good! This spot deserves a star and then some from our friends in France! I was there the other night and with a large party, the service was better than could be expected, even if I were at a private club, they were on the spot with drink recommendations and food suggestions. The food was exceptional! Escargot that made Paris seem dull in comparison, scallops that melted on your mouth, Black cod that was like candy, beef that was so fresh you did not recognize it as beef. They pride themselves on fresh local ingredients and they do a great job. If you are looking for a good meal in Vail this is not your place, they are incapable of delivering a meal at that level.........If you are looking for an exceptional meal in Vail, or anywhere in the US........this is your spot! read more

This place is Super nice Excellent service super detailed orientated and attentive The food is amazing, everything that we order was great read more

Food was good, service was flat out awful! Manager acknowledged the service was bad halfway through dinner then didn't check in on us again. Service ruined the whole experience. Didn't not get extra water refills, needed utensils for an appetizer, or even a pen to sign the check. We had to go up to the counter to sign the bill. Manager was a bit of an a-hole too. Would not recommend for a nice night out. read more

The food was spectacular. I have not had better escargots, even in Paris! We sampled much of the menu and were blown away at how good everything tasted. The service was impeccable. The wine list was amazing. We sat outside under the stars. It is the perfect restaurant for groups, celebrations and romance!! read more

Food was fine but nowhere near worth the cost even in Vail. Menu was limited and unimaginative with too much salt throughout. Biggest gripe was an additional 3% "culinary fee" on the total tab. read more

Came here for Max's birthday, he wanted French and insisted on this place - La Tour. I was a little concerned, because there are a lot of haters on the reviews... but I've been telling Max, I'm very glad he picked this place. Food was amazing. Service was impeccable. I honestly call out everybody who gave a low rating and criticized the food - You are the reason Yelp is dead and broken. We ordered - caesar, french onion soup, Hibachi Oysters and bread service to start - every item was delectable. Entrees - Lamb trio, five spice duck, manhattan steak, and black cod. Amazing every item. Each of the five in our party whole-heartedly agree. Yelpers are a joke, this place is EXCEPTIONAL - service, food, and beverage. read more

My husband and I came here during our visit to Vail for my birthday dinner! We booked a couple of weeks out, and even then reservations were piling up - so make sure you reserve way in advance! The restaurant was convenient to get to cause it was right on the main road, and the interior was very cute, cozy, and warm. Right away the hostess showed us to our seats and within moments a server asked if he could take our coats and get us started on water. The service during our entire meal was amazing and so attentive - we loved it! For the food - it was delicious! I ordered the Duck breast which was amazing and cooked just right. The meet was tender and the broccolini was a good touch. The fried rice - I gave to my husband since he's a bigger fan. The truffle onion soup seemed small but there's a lot inside of it and it was so good. The perfect soup for the below 0 weather ! The bone marrow was a must get - it was a little thicker than others we've had but the seasoning with the bread was still a great combo! We got the loaded scalloped potatoes which tasted good, but was the same same as most scalloped potatoes. The presentation was where it was coolest! And of course asparagus since my husband got steak - the balsamic vinegar was a great add to the asparagus! Then we got creme brûlée for my birthday cake dessert - and it was amazinnggg. DEF wish i had room for two of those!! Overall, we definitely would come back and would highly recommend! For the price, it is on the pricier side but definitley not at the highest end in Vail Village! read more

The food was okay, but we were very surprised at the conclusion of our meal to see not only a 3% credit card charge, but also a 3% culinary charge. Upon questioning, the manager could not provide an explanation as to why those charges were added to the bill, other than that the owner didn't want to pay the credit card fees and the culinary charge goes to pay the cooks. This was a large bill for a party of nine people. We would have happily paid 6% more if those prices were included in menu prices but it is extremely deceptive to add that to the bill after the fact. We have frequented this restaurant numerous times in the past, but following this experience, we will never be back. read more

Great service, exceptional food! Our group enjoyed cocktails and mussels in the bar before being seated. I had a perfect dry martini which paired perfectly. We enjoyed all the courses, most notably the hibachi oysters and Alaskan cod. Superb! read more

Quiet, romantic, intimate, and delicious. LaTour is all of the things you want out of an upscale meal in a ski chalet town. We had the incomparable earl grey cocktail and an unbelievable whiskey sour to start. Wow! Don't miss the cocktails here. We had a beet salad (artful and tangy) and a Caesar with anchovies (delicate with a satisfying crunch). For dinner, I opted for the truffled French Onion Soup, which frankly, is to die for. Better than any entree I think. My husband has the panko chicken (can't remember the exact name), which he loved so much that every bite was the "last bite" until the plate was empty. I WISH we had had room for dessert but alas. We will have to come back! Kudos to the amazingly friendly wait staff. Such a pleasure. read more

Service was smooth. Great seating half inside half outside. French onion soup, Caesar salad, and scallop appetizer were my favorite. We also got the tuna poke, artisanal greens with citrus honey salad, the panko chicken entree and dessert trio. The panko chicken used to be my favorite. It seemed less seasoned, but I used to get it on their salad. Shout out to the restaurant for having a dessert option to buy beers for the staff after work. I had never seen that on a menu before and think it does a great job of reminding customers that the food and drinks don't magically appear. Even if someone didn't add it to their bill, I think it would cause someone to think about the people providing the service and leave a good tip. Would definitely dine at this restaurant again. read more

This was the first time and place I ever ate escargot and it was quite good. Had bad thoughts in my head on what it would take taste like but it was surprisingly pleasant. It could be that they excelled at escargot and it was best I was introduced to them here and nowhere elder. It was a beautiful not quite yet fall day in September. Although it wasn't ski season Vail was still quite busy. If you try escargot anywhere, let it be here. read more

Love this restaurant! When I come to vail I like to visit my friends that work here for drinks and a superb meal. The escargot is a hit whenever I bring a friend or family member here. The scallops are amazing, I only wish there were more on my plate! This restaurant leaves me feeling full and still wanting more! Service is great for vail and exceedingly warm! I love the art and flow of the restaurant. It's an open and inviting environment where you can sit comfortably for hours talking with friends and loved ones endlessly. read more

Not sure where to start, but had terrible server who was not really paying attention to us, on top of that food was terrible. Escargot was ok. Had better bone natter somewhere else, why put crumbles on top of that? Lobster bisque was watered down, terrible. Duck and steak were cold and steak was undercooked. Only ok thing was French onion soup. Pick a better place for same money and go somewhere else. read more

La Tour Restaurant & Bar - Table was not leveled on top of everything. - French Near Me - Vail, Colorado

What an amazing experience I had at La Tour in August 2025!! We had a large party of 13. We were seated at a gorgeous table outside with wonderful lighting and a beautifully set table. We started with appetizers, including tuna tartare, escargot, and jumbo shrimp cocktail- all wonderful and got our taste buds anticipating dinner! The specialty soup is French onion. I've never had such a delicious soup as this! I ordered the crispy panko chicken as my entree-so flavorful, crunchy and moist. And don't forget the bread service!! The buerre blanc made this dish delectable! La Tour has an extensive wine offering, which was presented to us by a super friendly and knowledgeable sommelier. Dessert was beautiful and savory!! The wait staff couldn't have been more attentive, and yet not intrusive. We even got to meet Chef Paul! He was happy to chat with us and truly wanted to know if we enjoyed our dining experience. It was nice to meet his wife who welcomed us when we arrived and returned to the table to be sure we had everything we wanted. The restaurant and bar are lovely! I can't wait to return to this magical place - thank you everyone at La Tour!! read more

What can you say about an establishment that was founded almost 25 years ago.... It may have once been a great place to dine and the wine list is impressive but there are other places I would spend my dinning dollars. The food is good, lots of butter and salt ensure that, but our party of 4 agreed nothing was outstanding. If you're a vegetarian there is one lonely entree to choose from. The service was acceptable, nothing other that. To add insult to injury bread ( not even very good) will set you back $9. The setting is ok but starting to look a bit tired and in need of updating. In my option this place needs a major reset and even then not sure it would be much better that a place for visitors who don't know better to choose as a last resort read more

La Tour has gone from being one of the best restaurants in Vail to one of the worst. I will spare the details, but suffice it to say it was an awful meal, made worse by the failure of management of management to respond in any form or fashion to our respectfully communicated concerns. read more

We were really impressed with both service and quality/presentation of food. We got the chef tasting menu for $52 which had three courses and dessert. They were willing to replace venison with shrimp since I'm a pescatarian. All food was very tasty and good sized. We left feeling full and happy. I recommend this place for a nice, romantic dinner. read more

I don't think this restaurant is as good as it was. We made a reservation 6 weeks in advance and our table was in a poor location. We are pretty regular customers when we visit Vail. They have bread service on the menu for nine dollars and it was a pretty lousy bread selection. Hardly worth the price. I ordered Duck Breast and it was pretty tough to cut. I didn't complain as I didn't want to spoil the evening for the others. We are not cheap diners we spent almost 900.00 dollars for five guests. There are plenty of good restaurants in Vail and I think we will give this one a pause. read more

La Tour is the top of my list of favorite Vail restaurants. We had a beautiful Christmas Day dinner tonight. Stevan paced the meal perfectly and had excellent recommendations. Stevan made the entire evening a real pleasure. Also, the sommelier (Victor) had a wine recommendation that we'll remember for future reference. From hostess to bussers, everyone made sure we were welcomed and had everything we needed from entrance to departure. It is simply a well-run, well-designed, chic restaurant with delicious food. The entire staff hits just the right note, every time we've visited La Tour. The menu options are sometimes classic, sometimes interesting - the menu will not bore you. Even the vegetable side dishes (so often just grilled something-or-other at other restaurants) are addictive and beautifully presented with optimally prepared main dishes. Desserts should not be missed. We look forward to coming back! read more

I would compare La Tour to the French Laundry when Tom Keller was cooking! Best restraint in Vail by far. Everything was to die for, Escargot, Foie Gras, Oysters, lobster bisk, French Onion Soup were are starters! I had the Black Truffle Cod was best piece of fish I have ever had! Incredible meal with great wine list and fantastic service! Best meal we had in vail as we went to every high end restaurant, we where there for 10 days. If you go to vail and are looking for a great meal priced very reasonable for fine dining don't miss going to La tour. read more

I wish I could leave a more positive review; however, the service in this restaurant is lacking severely. We stopped during our trip to Vail for dinner and quickly realized that customer service was non-existent. First off, we ordered a white wine, and our server brought us our red (even when we pointed at the name because when we first ordered, it seemed as if he didn't recognize the wine). Anyway, I kept my red wine because it would be a shame to throw it out. The waiter did not seem to give a damn if he messed up our drink order or anything and was quick to just walk away, RUDE. We ordered our appetizers, and I looked forward to their french onion soup with short rib. Let me just say that there was basically NO short rib in this soup. I came across a burnt piece of meat that reminded me of a chicharron, and that was it. The soup was okay, but it wasn't spectacular. I would not recommend it. The escargot was just okay, also something I probably would not order again. I ordered the black cod for the entree, and my boyfriend ordered the duck. To be honest, the only reason this place is being rated a 2 star is because of the entrees. They were actually quite tasty. The black cod came with asparagus, potato, and a seaweed salad. I didn't really care for the seaweed salad, but it was an overall good dish. My boyfriend really enjoyed his seared duck breast that came with farro and a winter squash puree. Overall, if I traveled back to visit, I would not make reservations here. The service by our waiter was horrific, and when you're out to dinner, you want to have a pleasant experience. It felt as if we were a bother to him. There are plenty of other good restaurants in the area. read more

The cocktails are excellent here! Very inviting interior. The seared foie gras is very nicely prepared and just melts jn your mouth with flavor.

Great menu, great ambiance, mediocre food. The escargot was served slightly above room temp (yuck), the filet was quite average (not sure it was actually Wagyu). Oysters were just meh. Staff was hit or miss. Sometimes friendly, sometimes snobby. I hate to leave bad reviews but we just didn't get the love here that we received everywhere else in Vail. Feel the need to share in hopes they can improve. read more

Visited La Tour for our 4th anniversary dinner. Why bother asking during the reservation process if we'll be celebrating a special occasion if nothing special is done? The hostess seemed like she couldn't care less, not smiling or being cordial once. My chicken was fine, nothing special, but lacked sufficient sauce. My husband's $49 halibut was tiny and lacking in flavor in every way. The interior is dated and appears to be suffering from an identity crisis. No a/c apparent inside, which might be ok if window openings weren't restricted the highest part of the window rendering insufficient airflow. read more
