Okay, first the food. Incredible wings, perfectly spicy. The smash burger and fish and chips were fabulous. But the best part? The server was amazing!! So attentive and entertaining. He had us laughing the whole time! read more

We stopped in at the bar for food and drinks before continuing out walk to the amphitheater. Greatly enjoyed the smash burger, I recommend with the sweet potatoes fried (crispy and flavorful), and the chicken wrap is a healthy favorite too often overlooked on the menu. Our bartender was excellent and they have a nicely curated selection of spirits and cocktail options. The indoor seating is comfortable with excellent ambiance and the back patio deck is gorgeous and spacious. read more

The 4th star here can be accredited to the short rib Mac and cheese. Absolutely hit the spot after a long day of skiing, and haven't found another dish like it in Vail. A little bit secluded from the rest of Vail Village, but easily accessible with the Vail shuttles. Would definitely go back. read more

Food, service and great patio views! I had the BEST Asian Poke salad by far! The tomato soup was fantastic as well. Our waitress was super helpful and attentive! We were able to sit outside and view the river. All the flowers were blooming and it was just a great experience overall. read more

Wish I could have tried it. The reviews looked excellent here. The look is more bar vibe than restaurant. We couldn't seem to get anyone to acknowledge us to be seated. We were the only two people there, too. Finally left. read more

No bad notes on this restaurant - everyone needs to dine here! I came here with a big party of 8 and the service is impeccable, we had the pleasure of having Will as our server. He's super kind and gave fantastic recommendations. I cannot express how attentive Will was with our party and checked in multiple times with us. The food was also phenomenal - we ordered almost everything on the menu and every dish was absolutely scrumptious! read more

The Fitz bar is a hidden gem for a mountain ski town. Aside from the fact that it's very convenient right across the street from Gold Peak. The staff makes the apres experience, relaxed and comfortable. I'd like to specifically shout out one of the bartenders named Ben, he is efficient and welcoming. I frequent the bar quite often and while other staff like Matt and Jayla are top-notch. I know it's always gonna be a good day if Ben is behind the bar. I always recommend this part family and friends and clients as well. Even if you're not staying at the Manor Vail, you should stop and check it out.. read more

Came here for dinner after a hard day of snowboarding on Wednesday. I made reservations but honestly, it was pretty dead so you can just walk in. The restaurant is located inside a hotel and offered free parking inside the garage which is a plus in Vail. The food was great for the price. We got the poutine to share and it was amazing! Completely hit the spot. I had a burger with truffle tots and the tots were absolutely delicious! I highly recommend this place for dinner if you're ever in Vail for a ski vacation. read more

Beautiful, peaceful patio overlooking the creek to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat. Flower boxes everywhere, very friendly, attentive service, and peaceful vibe. We enjoyed a Fire on the Mountain cocktail and martini, and split a Fitz burger with tater tots. Everything was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyable. read more

Great location and great food! We sat on the top patio deck which was very pleasant our table fit the 8 of us and had a very nice fire place! The service was good with nice waitresses. I highly recommend! read more

We went here because they had reservations at the last minute. The whole staff was so friendly. They were getting ready to close for a month but still so accommodating for us. We had a nice relaxing date night. They let us take our time. We enjoyed the food and drinks and the view and it was very peaceful. read more

Had reservations - no one showed up , no staff or hostess or anything - waited 10 minutes, seemed like there may have been a private event? Sad - food seemed decent and worth a try - whatever! At slope room now for dinner read more

I had dinner here last night and have mixed thoughts about the experience. The Fitz felt very much like a bar in a mid range hotel in a nondescript Midwestern town. We were seated "upstairs" in the alcove overlooking the main restaurant and consequently hotel guests were constantly walking through on their way to their room, sometimes in a bathrobe. There was industrial carpet like you'd see at a Courtyard Marriott. One of the main specialties at The Fitz was a Brussels Sprouts dish which many people ordered. The strong unpleasant smell permeated the restaurant. I had the Tuna Nachos which were very good. My boyfriend had a Fried Chicken Sandwich which was nothing special. read more

We had dinner here two nights as we were staying at the Vail Manor Lodge. The food is always solid and the service is sometimes questionable. Great place to go to before a concert in Ford Amphitheater. read more

Easily our favorite spot in Vail. In fact, we loved it so much we came here twice! Without naming names, we made it a priority to visit all of the "must go restaurants" in Vail during our recent ski trip. After building out our itinerary, we still had an open evening without a dinner reservation. After scrolling through Yelp, I came across an unassuming restaurant in a hotel a short walk from ours that seemed reasonably priced and unpretentious called The Fitz. There weren't a ton of reviews, but the reviews were really good. Even though no one I knew that frequently visited Vail had mentioned the Fitz, I went ahead an made a reservation. Thank goodness I did... this place was absolutely incredible and blew all the "must go" Vail restaurants out of the water. Service was phenomenal, friendly, and quick. The drinks were generous and delicious. Old Fashion was great. The different flavored Moscow Mules were great. However, their spicy margarita was the drink we couldn't stop ordering. Most importantly, their food was so so good. The cheese curds are a must get appetizer. The 10 oz flat iron was perfectly cooked, melted in your mouth, and was packed with flavor. Also really enjoyed the truffle Mac and cheese and the Brussel Sprouts. We loved this place so much, we cancelled our reservation for our last night and came here again. Couldn't recommend this place enough! read more

While spending a week skiing in Vail, we took the recommendation of our concierge (at Arrabelle) and made reservations at his #1 pick, The Fitz. Everything was excellent! Our party of 7 people had an entire dining room to ourselves. Our table was next to a giant fireplace with windows all around us. We loved everything we ordered. We all thought the best dessert was the butter cake! We ordered: Appetizers: Fried Cheese Curds (basically fried cheese) with marinara sauce Ahi Tuna Nachos - both excellent! Entrees: Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich Seared Salmon PastaAlfredo Chicken Carbonara Breast Sides: Creamed Spinach Truffle Mac and Cheese Dessert: Crème Brûlée Chocolate Cake Butter Cake read more

Beautiful atmosphere, great food and great service. They had something for everyone in my party. Highly recommend.

We had a delightful lunch today on the patio/balcony. Good staff and atmosphere. Salad, apps and steak sandwich all good. read more

Me and my fiance went here in 2019 when we visited Vail, and I never finished my review then, so 3 years later, here I am. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but at that time, I think this is where we consumed some of the best donuts of our life. I remember we sat at the bar and ate, and decided to have dessert. And they brought out these heavenly hot donuts with a side of some sort of jam and it was splendid. The fact that I am writing about this 3 years later should tell you how memorable and mouthwatering they were. read more

Overall this is a 3.5 star place, bumped to 4 because of friendly service and cozy atmosphere. The restaurant is located inside the Manor Vail Lodge, in case you are driving, GPS coordinates should take you to the right spot. there is an enclosed parking area and the gate will open for you. We had reservations (use Open Table to score points), and were promptly seated on a weekend night. We ordered a few drinks (vodka mule, Lift Line, and Winter in Tropic), all great, good balance between taste and booze. For food, some items were fantastic, Bison NY Strip, Asparagus, and the carrots - some were just OK, broccolini, mashed potatoes, and the mushroom risotto (seemed it was prepared a few hours before...). The dessert - butter cake - was pretty good. Service was friendly and the place is cozy and inviting. Would recommend for some drink, steak, and veggies after hitting the slopes in the area. read more

Great dinner and service! The staff was really friendly, our server was attentive, and the music was 10/10. We all enjoyed salads and added sides of protein, which seemed priced really low. 12$ for 6oz side of steak! read more

The Fitz is located in the Manor Vail Lodge and has a very nice outdoor seating area combined with an indoor bar. We had salads and snacks. Very prompt service and reasonable pricing. Brussel sprouts were are favorite. The Fitz is a little off the beaten path but well worth the visit. I would call first though as we noticed during our stay the hours were erratic due to the bar being closed for various wedding events and private parties. read more

The Fitz - a glass of wine on a table - Bars Near Me - Vail, Colorado

My wife and 5 yr old just finished having Thanksgiving dinner here. It was absolutely amazing and worth every penny. They had all kinds of bread including gluten free bread. There were so many dishes: green beans, mashed potatoes, sweet potato, two kinds of salad, roasted cauliflower, mac n' cheese , stuffing both bread and corn, turkey carving station and ham carving station and of course delicious desserts. They had apple and pumpkin pie, cup cakes and ice cream. The quality of the food was top notch. The turkey was brined for 24hrs before serving. The mashed potatoes were from scratch. I could go on and on and on. I feel like we got our money's worth for sure. The ambiance was very cozy and frankly...out of what you would see in a Christmas movie. It was night time, snow outside and fire lanterns glowing. The service was tops as well. Payton was our server and she was very attentive and not overbearing. Kudos to her. We loved this place and will comeback when we are back in vail. read more

Nice place. It's a little tricky to get to, but once you're there it's a great place. It's not exceptional but it's a nice place to have a drink and have some appetizers and maybe dinner. read more

We came here for Valentines Day. The restaurant is a small with a an upscale feel. But at the same time the vibe is relaxed. You'll fit in if you dressed up or more casual. The food is really nice but not pretentious. We shared the crab cake appetizer. You could tell it was hand made and really yummy. We then shared the short rib and mushroom risotto. Both were awesome and perfectly seasoned. The portions were big, too. We didn't have dessert. Nothing on the menu really spoke to us, and we were already quite full. Service was very attentive. I never ran out of water, and that's saying something because I drink a lot of water. Definitely give this place a try. read more

The Fitz is a hidden gem in Vail! Above par ski town food, good location away from the main area of Vail. We've been here twice and have always had a good experience. Off peak season it's quiet, secluded and you can easily talk amongst your group. During peak season the wait isn't long but it's a good idea to book a rezy! We got their shrimp and grits (YUM!), fried chicken sandwich (meh.. it was a frozen food service patty) and the spinach salad. Again while the food is better, it's bar food. Prices are ski town prices aka expensive. For the warmth and modern vibe - love coming to the Fitz when we're in town. read more

Had a great summertime lunch on the outdoor patio of this hotel restaurant, which overlooks the west end of Ford Park. It's a bit pricey, but it's Vail. Had an excellent quality Fitz Burger ($24) with a teeny, tiny side salad (extra $3) that made the fries (included unless you 'upgrade' to salad) look like the better deal. Throw in an appetizer or a drink and it's pretty easy to hit $50 per person for lunch, but again, it's Vail. Pro tip: we arrived at 11:30, which meant we were the first customers with choice of any spot on the outdoor patio. Grab the table at the far east end overlooking the river. Service was good, although things were slow because it was lunch. Overall no reason not to stop here unless the prices scare you off, follow up your meal with a walk around the beautiful Fort Park and Betty Ford Alpine Gardens! read more

Awesome place! Great atmosphere, the host Bruna was awesome handling our reservation over the phone, service was great, place was full and flow was good, every plate was full of flavor, we got few dishes and drinks and all was great, recommended. Parking was provided at the lodge south next door. Will be back for sure! read more

Really a 3.75, primarily because a super poor version of a Caesar Salad. We were staying at Manor Vail and wanted to try out the in-house restaurant, and that it posted a 4+ rating. We shared a Caesar Salad and steak, which was excellent. Do not order this salad. What was presented was a bowl of undressed cut romaine lettuce in a bowl, with some croutons, shaved parmesan cheese and a small container of dressing that was far from tasting Caesarish. It was store bought for sure, but not Caesar. Also, no anchovies, and $18. Fitz, please learn how to make this salad taste great and toss the salad in dressing in the kitchen. This is not a salad to pour dressing on at the table! read more

We had the worst service at this restaurant, the gal that waited on us couldn't have been more rude. The way she treated us was disgusting. We called the manager and explained what happened and she blew us off completely. We will NEVER eat here again... read more

This place had great food, a little farther out from vail village and inside a lodge/hotel. The server accidentally misheard one of the orders and brought out a salad instead of the salmon, however they gave us the salad for free and brought out the salmon eventually. We also ordered the flat iron steaks which were very good and the chicken carbonara. Unassuming, but great and fresh food! read more
