    Hadn’t been to Pepi’s in 15+ years. It was as great as I remembered. Burgers were delicious and the goulash was outstanding, as always. It’s amazing that it’s the same as the first time I was at Pepi’s since 1983 and it’s still one of my favs in Vail. Thank you!

    After many years returned to dine in the Antler Room. I first experienced dining here over 45 years ago. It was my first time eating wild game and this remains the focus along with the Usual veal dishes. Nothing has changed since then which is how it should be if you want this type of food/dining. It's an old time classic experience with tableside preparation. Nothing trendy. The Wapiti elk was the best of all the dishes in our group. It was nice seeing Sheika enjoying dinner with friends, Pepi, long gone. I hope this place goes on for many more years

    The food and service was great. It’s a cool place with a bar on one side of the restaurant with a lively crowd and musicians. The restaurant side is closed off so it’s quiet.

    Great Reuben sandwich, Kasespaetzle and pork schnitzel. The soft pretzel was meh. There are much better soft pretzels in other European restaurants at Vail. We had a 2pm reservation, server quickly took our order and food was served promptly. Unfortunately, server never returned to top off drinks.
