    Extremely pleased with the meal. We shared Beet Salad and bread/butter. (I remember when rolls were complementary opening for all evening meals.) The red vinaigrette dressing for the salad retained the flavor of both arugula and beats. Main course of Prime Rib of Beef and Colorado Trout were cooked to slow perfection. Side order of beans and blistered tomatoes was heavy on the beans and quite sparing on the tomatoes. Our waiter, Ken, was juggling too many tables. We waited for the bill long after the process of digestion had begun. We were imbued and enveloped in a blanket of calm during and after the meal…happy to be there and looking forward to return on our next visit to Vail.

    We had a wonderful dinner at Lancelot. We chose the restaurant based on reports that it was a Vail institution. Service and food were very good. In particular, the dishes are much lighter than their description. Definitely in the "comfort food" family, but excellently prepared with fresh ingredients. Definitely worth checking out.

    After traveling to Vail for 25+ years, we finally took the time to eat at Lancelot. Food was incredible and we only wish we would have eaten here sooner. Will definitely be back!

    We have been coming to The Lancelot every time we visit Vail, since the early 70's. The prime rib is simply outstanding and highly recommended.
