Tapas / Small Plates
Set in the heart of Vail Village, just off the pedestrian corridor, Leonora offers an inviting dining experience inspired by the French Alps, Spanish Pyrenees and our own Colorado Rockies. Using only the finest fresh, local and organic ingredients, the menu is designed as a tapas experience, one where diners embark with shareable small plates, progressing to larger plates which revere alpine flavors including Colorado lamb pops, local steaks and more. Flavorful dishes are simply prepared and thoughtfully paired with wines from around the world. Our sommelier's handpicked selections are sourced from traditional and unexpected places, each selected to complement Executive Chef Kevin Erving’s playful yet sophisticated menu. Reservations highly recommended.

    Mother’s Day buffet brunch! So delicious. We had a large party reservation and they treated so wonderfully, had a whole separate room set aside for us and kept drinks and service going promptly. Lovely servers and best buffet brunch we’ve enjoyed in a long time.

    Easter brunch was a HUGE miss. $75 per person for dried out ham, cold bacon and sausage and a variety of pastries. My wife first tried the eggs benedict from the buffet and after not being able to cut the English muffin with her knife we asked for a steak knife. Even with a steak knife the bread was so rubbery that it would NOT cut. We had to order it fresh. The only food we enjoyed was the eggs we ordered fresh. I thought maybe the “fresh baked pastries” would redeem our experience but the carrot cake was the driest I’ve ever had. When I put my fork in it, it just crumbled. In hindsight we should’ve skipped Easter menu and just ordered off the regular menu. Buffet was below subpar and because the restaurant was fairly empty, there wasn’t much turnover on the food so it ended up just sitting there and getting dried out or over cooked. Service was so slow that “bottomless mimosas” were not worth it. Managed to sit there for 1.5 hours and only get 2 mimosas. Total with tax and tip (which they automatically include 20%) came to over $250. We don’t mind paying $275 for brunch but we expect to have excellent food and service.

    LeonoraResponded on April 12, 2023We are deeply sorry to hear that your Easter brunch fell short of your expectations. We appreciate your feedback, and we will be sure to take this into consideration to improve our offerings for future events. We value your patronage and hope that you will give us the opportunity to make things right. Thank you again for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back and exceed your expectations.

Leonora is definitely added to our restaurant list for whenever we return to Vail, and we will recommend to anyone.

    The wait staff was not focused or organized from the very first stop at the table. The wrong wine was brought, some of the food plates not attractive or tasty, and the main 2 dishes, lobster and seafood fettucine was small and not worth the $68. The Norwegain salmon dish for $48 ws small, salty and hardly a top end main course. Our only dish liked were the brussel sprouts. Overall the place needs a lot of fixing before i would go back and not suggest it for any friends or family.

    LeonoraResponded on April 2, 2023It sounds like our wait staff may have fallen short of your expectations, thank you for bringing this to our attention. Additionally, it's disappointing to find that some of the dishes did not meet your expectations in taste and value.

    Restaurant inside the Sebastian which is a Really beautiful hotel in Vail. Very tasty tapas. Huge wine selection. Brought friends here from another state and they were impressed.

    Calamari was way too over fried and breaded with very little calamari, lamb, lollipops, heavily, over, seasoned, tiniest, charcuterie board I’ve ever seen, and cheese was stale, service was excellent. Staff is great nice ambience, but definitely not worth the prices for the quality of food that being said we went to Ludwig’s in Vail the night before and we were absolutely blown away!

    LeonoraResponded on March 23, 2023It seems the food fell short of your expectations and caused a mixed experience at our restaurant. Please accept my apologies. We take these comments seriously and I have spoken with our Sous Chef on how to avoid these issue in the future. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to let me know. I'm here to assist you in any way I can. In closing, I'm glad to hear that the service was excellent and the staff was great. Thank you again for those kind words.

    Incredible food. Don't miss the crispy Brussels or the caramel pudding with bacon ice cream. Great wine list. Stellar service.

    Dinner at Leonora was an unexpected pleasure. Service was attentive, and the tapas-style menu suited our party of six, whose tastes ran the gamut. Our server Lance steered us well, with colorful and accurate descriptions of the food, and he successfully tempted us to try a few items that hadn’t jumped out at us initially. We loved the pork belly and the sticky toffee pudding. Thanks Lance!

    LeonoraResponded on March 19, 2023It's great to hear that you had such a wonderful dining experience. I'm always glad to hear when a server goes above and beyond to make recommendations and provide colorful descriptions of the food, and it sounds like Lance did just that. The pork belly our signature dish and sticky toffee pudding, these we are especially proud of. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your meal and that Lance made the experience even better. Thanks for sharing your review!

    The overall experience was fair. Our waitress was very attentive, she gets a star for that. I have 2 main complaints, thus 3 stars. The food took a bit long time to get to the table, but the problem was that out appetizers (4 plates) arrived one by one every 5-10 minutes. Then our entrees did the same thing (4 entrees) arrived one by one every 10 minutes! We ate at different times! Which was ridiculous. The second compliant is about the service charge (tip) enforced at 22% (we where 2 adults and 4 minors) that they clearly didn't deserve. I would have been confortable paying 15% because of the kitchen tardiness, but not 22%. I did not say anything because my wife and kids hate when I complain about anything on a restaurant, so this is me complaining. I would go back but I'd be a bit more demanding on service. The food tasted very good.

    LeonoraResponded on March 19, 2023I apologize for the inconvenience, as it seems that the restaurant experience was not up to your expectations. It is nice to hear that your server was attentive. However the delay on food is unacceptable. I spoke staff about the the importance of prompt service, and have explained our service charge policy to ensure that it is fair and transparent for all customers. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and I hope that we will have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.

    The best reason to go to Leonora, besides the food and setting is the service one receives from Makenna. She's helpful, efficient and jolly. She made our evening special.

    LeonoraResponded on March 23, 2023While the food and setting are important aspects of any dining experience, it's often the service that can make or break the overall experience. It's clear that Makenna's helpful, efficient, and jolly attitude made a big difference in your enjoyment of the evening.

    Our server was great, but it took way too long for the dishes to come out. The shrimp was bland and focaccia bread a little disappointing. Brussels sprouts were fantastic and lamb shank worth ordering again.

    LeonoraResponded on March 19, 2023Dear AStewart, We are glad to hear about the service, and that the Brussels Sprouts and Lamb Shank were enjoyable and worth ordering again. However we are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Please know that we strive to provide our customers with the best possible dining experience. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to our restaurant, and please to let us know if there is anything we can do to make your next visit even more enjoyable.

    Beautiful restaurant at the Sebastian Hotel in Vail with a menu based on Spanish tapas fusion. The food was excellent, but the service between the different tapas took a long time. Very nice wine list.

    LeonoraResponded on March 23, 2023We are glad you had a great dining experience at the Leonora in Vail. The compliments on the tapas menu will be passed along to our kitchen. However, it is unfortunate to hear that the service between tapas took a long time. Be assured we strive to provide a timely dinner service and apologize for the evening not meeting your expectations. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the near future and providing you with a great dining experience.
