    Molcajete
    Samantha S.

    Vaqueros feels cozy and had an authentic charm. It was pretty busy when we arrived, it took a while to be greeted and seated. The menu is quite lengthy so it took us a while to read through so I guess it was okay the service was somewhat slow. The chips and salsa came out fresh and pretty quickly. Once I saw Molcajete on the menu, I knew that was it for me. The flavors were good but it definitely didn't look like the menu photo and was lacking in the amount it was filled, especially for the price, and I don't think it had any onions or poblanos. We also had the Vaqueros Special but it didn't come out in one platter, so they brought the rest of the items out separately. I forgot to take a photo of the taquitos as they came out later on another plate, they were flavorful, especially dipping them in the molcajete sauce. The flan was not the typical texture, maybe over cooked and the sopapillas were pretty hard/over cooked. Presentation wasn't as expected based on the cost. Hopefully it'll be a bit better experience if we revisit. Was close to two stars but the flavors of the molcajete sauce bumped it to three for me.

    The tamales are absolutely amazing!  Rice and beans are on point!  A MUST VISIT!!!!!!!

    VERY Over priced, imcredibly small portions, questionable quality. Didn't taste authentic. I won't be returning.

    I'm posting this review a few weeks late. The restaurant is located right at the base of a ski run…read more So, the ideal location at winter time for hungry skiers and snowboarders coming down the slopes. Everything on the menu looked great, prices were reasonable (for Vail/Avon, CO), and the portions were generous. Nachos and burgers are amazing! Burgers were cooked to perfection (medium rare we ordered). Now the details... Wow! This place was absolutely fantastic! In my experience, it is very rare to walk out of a restaurant and be in awe over the service (Cassie) and their food. Not to mention, to continue to talk about the dining experience there. Yes, of course it is 'bar food' or 'pub food' but in that category, this place gets FIVE STARS! What made the experience over and beyond great was the waitress -- Cassie (Casanave). Super friendly, very accommodating, fast and efficient! Cassie raised my bar on what good restaurant service should be! Next time we visit this restaurant, we are going to seek her out and sit in her section. I must say that I also noticed a camaraderie amongst the staff here. Everyone looked happy and they all seemed to treat each other like family. That says a lot about the good management here! I highly recommend this restaurant!

He took the order and someone from the kitchen brought out the food. Only one other table and a few people at the bar was a bit concerning, but we decided to stay. Place could really use some cleaning and updating. It reminded me of an old college bar that needed tlc. The menu had a lot of good offerings, but the food didn't taste freshly prepared. The chicken tasted premade and frozen. With so much competition in the area, it was surprising and disappointing . I guess it's fine if you have munchies while you're having a few drinks, but definitely not a place I would go to for lunch or dinner.

    We were staying down the street from The Four Seasons and wanted to pop in for a drink after dinner…read moreat the Remedy Bar. We walked in and it appeared to be a quiet night, we could see the bar was pretty empty. The hostess asked if we were staying at the hotel and we said no, we were dropping by for cocktails and wished to sit outside. She told us we could sit inside at a couch area by the entrance. One of our friends walked through the bar and noticed the fire pit seating areas were available and asked a server if we could sit there instead. She looked at us and said she would have to ask the hostess if any were available. Clearly they were and they didn't want our group sitting there for some reason. The bar was practically empty so not sure what the issue would be, perhaps it was because we were not hotel guests. After not getting back to us we just sat ourselves outside. Our server was Nivas. Nivas was not overly friendly but she was attentive. We ordered a couple rounds of cocktails. They were pricy but good. The fire pit tables are very nice. If you can sit outside at a fire pit I would recommend doing so.

Such a relaxing but chic spot to enjoy a meal after being out in the mountains. Our waitress was not overbearing and gave us enough time between bites to take it all in. She also made sure we got the full experience with the hot chocolate to marvel at its glory! The food was excellent, but the butternut squash soup was truly outstanding. It had a beautiful natural sweetness with a subtle hint of apple that made the flavor feel layered and comforting, and the pepitas added the perfect little crunch. It was one of those dishes you keep thinking about after you leave. We also ordered the hummus, which tasted incredibly fresh and crisp, light, bright, and perfectly refreshing alongside the richer dishes. But the real star of the experience was the hot chocolate. It was absolutely decadent and comforting, easily one of the best cups of hot chocolate I've ever had. Rich, smooth, and the perfect treat in a snowy Vail setting. Overall, Remedy Bar delivers a beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, and a cozy mountain-luxury experience. I would absolutely recommend stopping in if you're visiting Vail.

    Me and my family had an amazing time here after a long day of skiing we decided to get dinner here…read more Wow the food and vibes of the place were IT. Our server "Claudia" was a delight very insightful about the menu and we had an awesome conversation.

    We stopped in at the Red Lion after skiing…read more It was crowded and we were looking for an outside table for six people. Only four of us were there as the other two were across the street at Christy's returning their rental skis. There was a table of 6 but the hostess said she couldn't sit us until the other two arrived. Right then, a guy walks up and asks for that same table. He was by himself and she gave the table with six chairs to him. His full party was clearly not there but she sat him anyway. Why is that allowed? Clearly favoritism. And to be clear, two of his friends showed up and the other three never arrived. So, at that point we told the hostess we were now a table of four and she said we could sit at a table that had 3 chairs. Well okay....we took it. We grabbed the table and asked other tables around us for the extra 3 chairs and everyone was nice enough to give us the extra chairs. Our server, Suzanne was excellent. Very attentive, friendly and immediately brought us our drinks and food. The nachos were tasty. Drinks were good but pricy. I give Suzanne 5 stars, food 3 stars hostess 0 stars. Treat everyone fairly and respectfully. The hostess could use customer service training.

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.

    The red sauce on this pizza is SO GOOD!…read more We got a couple different kinds and what stood out to me was how flavorful the red sauce was. I also really liked the toppings to cheese ratio. My favorite topping was the sausage, but they were all super tasty. Also the location is perfect, I've been walking this place for years and am so happy I finally got a chance to try it! The inside is also feels like an old school pizza shop, which is very cozy and welcoming. I think they also do pizza by the slice, but I was with a group so we gotta a couple mediums and they were perfectly cooked. Service was super attentive and overall really liked this place!

The guy working the register totally ignored me for 2mins while he texted someone on his phone. Didn't say hi or anything just "what can I get you?" Being it from CO, I ordered a 3topping and then asked if they had a white sauce pizza which he then replied no.. with no other suggestions on a closer style pizza. The guy seems so annoyed that I was even ordering again they were not busy!!! Then when it came to pay I put "0" for a tip since I had cash in my wallet and the guy decided to throw attitude and sarcastically thank me for not tipping and crumble up the receipt Again I was going to tip in cash but after that I didn't think he deserved it. Pizza was just ok nothing fancy.
