Grilled mahi-mahi with fried rice and winter veggies
Cynthia P.

We stayed at The Hythe and it was convenient to eat at Revel Lounge. No braving the cold to go outside. The atmosphere was chill and friendly. Our server Sarah was sweet, explained things in detail, and looked in on us frequently. Everything we ordered was excellent: Grilled mahi mahi with fried rice & winter veggies. Lamb chop with mint puree, sautéed mushrooms, mashed potatoes, roasted carrots. Truffled shoestring fries yum. Some of the items could have used less salt, like the winter veggies and fries. Apple strudel with bourbon cinnamon ice cream!

Late dinner for two on Friday without a reservation. No ambiance. Very touristy and loud. Friendly hostesses. Kevin was a solid waiter but he acts off at times. Food and beverage come on time. Food was hot and fresh. If you are staying at the hotel this is a great choice when staying in as not much else near by. Cheesecake is a grand slam.

We were staying at the Hythe and decided to check out the restaurant on a chill Sunday! It was off season and a Sunday which probably accounted for how dead it was so it was a bit baffling that the reservation required a credit card up front and would have charged $25pp fee for no shows - as when we saw we were about the only patrons we would have left of not for the fee. The atmosphere was dead but food was great! Lovely cheese plates featuring local cheeses, a water melon salad, an eggplant veggie dish and grilled artichoke! Service was kinda a miss! The completely forgot one dish then included it on the bill along with the entire order from the party behind us! I imagine it's better in season but food and drinks were good!

One of their menus. Compare menus and spot the differences lol

Ok. This place. It has some good qualities. The best one being our waitress which was an absolute sweetheart so I just wanted to say that first and foremost. But the food...oh where do I start. We ordered the filet medium and a burger and it took an hour for our food. Hubby got his filet 10 minutes before I got my burger as well. Bread rolls? Don't recommend. Looks like paper. No good. The burger was not that great but it was edible and I loved the fries. There's also the issue of differing menus so the filet plate hubby ordered, didn't match. Thought he was getting whipped potatoes and asparagus but got a green paste with colorful cauliflower instead. When we asked the waitress about the menus, she did mention that there was an issue and that someone really needed to proofread these menus lol. At the end of the day, we would say that our waitress should be running the place because she was the one actually paying attention. This hotel is super crowded and it seems like there's just some things that need to be fixed. Maybe they will fix these things and they will be amazing in the future, but right now I will not recommend this place.

The Food and Craft Cocktails at the Revel Lounge within the Hythe Hotel (Vail, Colorado) were amazing! I was there on business for 5 days and ate at the Revel Lounge at least once every day. Everything I ordered was top notch, especially the Grilled Cheese & Steak Sandwich! The lounge has a good vibe and the staff was welcoming & attentive. Cassandra, one of the bartenders, makes the best Old Fashioned - apparently she also works at a local Whiskey Bar so that math adds up! .

We stayed at the Hythe during our trip to vail so naturally, we found ourselves going to revel basically every day for some apres ski drinks and snacks. They usually had live music which was great, the ambiance was dim and cozy, and the drinks were all delicious. The service was friendly, but the drinks did sometimes take a while to arrive. We tried a few food items here and everything was delicious as well. Some cocktails and a charcuterie board is the perfect post-ski pre-dinner vibe. Highly recommend!

Charcuterie Board

I spent a lovely evening at Revel with some friends who were staying at The Hythe. We ordered a charcuterie board and wine to start. My favorite part was the honeycomb. Then for my entree I ordered the Colorado Trout and whipped potatoes and it was very good. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant and hotel. Our service was great and the manager of the restaurant made sure to check in with us and ensure we had a great dinner experience. I would love to come back!

Elegant modern hotel with very hip restaurant. They had a DJ at the restaurant playing great music that set the mood wonderfully. Yet he never made it about himself. The decor is spectacular and the service is very good and the menu has great selection and flavor. Highly recommended.

The drinks were so good and Revel is a great place for a night cap if you're staying at the hotel. The sandwich and salad were amazing and easy shareables.

Located in the Hythe hotel Revel Lounge is brand new and has a nice modern space. Really cool spot to have a drink and warm up after being out in the cold all day. We really enjoyed both our drinks, the Hot buttered rum was one of the better hot cocktails I've ever had! The burger and fries were cooked well and exactly what you would hope for. My favorite was the lamb patty melt a unique dish with a bunch of flavor! The lamb was cooked just right and wasn't too gamey. Overall one of the better options for dinner in Lions Head.

Smash Burger with Shoe String Fries

Best Burger in Vail! Perfect with a beer or old fashioned. Bartender was great. Awesome DJ for a relaxing Friday night.

Must try is the pork shank. Seems like every table ordered it. I like my grilled mahi mahi with asparagus, quinoa & creamy harissa sauce. I like the well decor atmosphere & open kitchen. They also have outdoor patio. Great service. Prices are on average for Vail Village. Would love to go back and try more!

I've been coming to Mountain Standard for years, for lunch and dinner, usually at the bar. The…read morebartenders have always been knowledgeable, engaging and genuinely fun. It's the sort of hospitality that keeps me returning. Two dinners this past weekend reminded me why I love the place, but also why I think it's slipped a notch. Friday was lovely. My partner and I arrived between lunch and dinner, settled in at the bar, and ordered a Manhattan and a draft beer. Some fries kept the hangriness at bay. The bartenders were terrific, as usual. Then dinner arrived. The $54 Angus hanger steak comes with miso creamed corn, toasted sesame, tempura maitakes and Japanese BBQ butter. An ambitious supporting cast for a good piece of beef. The steak was delicious, but we ordered medium-well and received medium-rare. That's quite a miss at this price. We didn't send it back because my partner didn't want to make a scene. Worse, the sauce overwhelmed the plate. A good steak should be the star, not an extra in its own production. The $23 crab mozzarella sticks, with green onion, pecorino and shrimp-and-Calabrian-chili sauce, sounded fun. Unfortunately, the crab tasted distinctly fishy, not fresh, and the sauce seemed to be trying its best to cover it up. That's an expensive mozzarella stick with a serious identity crisis. We finished with Meyer lemon tiramisu, port and two espressos. The tiramisu was good, though the crumble on top seemed an odd, unnecessary flourish. The port and espresso were perfect. Friday remained a wonderful evening because the bar and its people are that good. Saturday we returned with friends and sat in the dining room. Packed, energetic and LOUD. I enjoy a lively restaurant, but I also enjoy hearing the people at my table. Drinks were slow, and the delays continued throughout dinner. Everyone was courteous; the whole operation just felt off. Credit to the manager and front desk team for pitching in to deliver food rather than leaving an overwhelmed staff to sink. We shared the $16 whipped tahini dip, served with Lebanese pickles, crispy shallots, marinated feta and warm pita. The pita was excellent: puffy, warm, irresistible. The dip tasted good too, but with so many competing elements, it felt like one ingredient too many. Not every appetizer needs a committee. My $39 rotisserie piri piri chicken was tender and nicely spiced. Unfortunately, its smashed steak fries were undercooked and practically submerged in poppy seed yogurt. The sauce overflowed the plate. Somewhere beneath that yogurt lake was a very good dinner. My partner's Standard wedge was similarly overburdened: too much dressing, prosciutto and blue cheese, leaving the salad excessively salty. Our friends ordered the $54 hanger steak and $46 grilled Pacific sea bass. The steak once again seemed over-sauced, and the decorative corn shoots were promptly pushed aside. The bass, at least on paper, is a thoughtful combination of toasted farro, pickled carrot salad, basil and miso carrot butter. I can't speak to how it tasted, but the recurring excess across the table was hard to miss. Here's the frustration: Mountain Standard has talent, imagination, a great location and genuinely good people. But creativity isn't the same as piling on ingredients, and more sauce doesn't mean more sophistication. Across two dinners, there were missed cooking temperatures, underdone potatoes, questionable crab and dishes that needed editing. That's training, restraint and execution, not a need for a new menu. I still consider Mountain Standard one of the Vail Valley's best restaurants. But let's acknowledge that the competition here isn't exactly fierce. Too many resort restaurants seem content to rest on their laurels, knowing another wave of visitors is coming. Being among the best in the valley shouldn't be the finish line. Would I return? Absolutely, especially to the bar. The hospitality remains a real strength. But before the winter crowds arrive, I'd love to see the kitchen tighten things up and the dining room find its rhythm. Mountain Standard doesn't need another garnish or another sauce. It needs to make the very good ideas it already has work consistently. Three-plus stars, with genuine hope for more next time.
