Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Fire Tower Restaurant & Tavern offers a memorable dining experience with "amazing food" and "super nice staff." Signature dishes like Ahi tuna nachos and spicy beef empanadas shine. The atmosphere is inviting, particularly for outdoor dining. While prices reflect the resort location, the vibrant bar and "fantastic service" make it worthwhile.

    Starting with the highlights, Scott, our waiter, is top notch! The seasonal specialty drinks were very good as well. The service was timely and excellent too. However, the experience with the food was spotty. The burrata salad with mushrooms and pea puree fell flat. The Chicken tortilla soup was very nice. For entrees I had the red snapper and was very disappointed. It was not seasoned properly and lacked flavor. The greens were too bitter to eat. The rice was okay at best. I wish I had chosen something else. My dining partner chose the beef short rib and said the risotto was truly excellent but the star of the dish should have been the short rib. It was tender but lacked flavor. For the price points on the menu we expect a truly exceptional meal. Hopefully the kitchen will step up its game moving forward as we love the location did enjoy certain aspects quite a bit.

    Hard to book a table in the winter. Always nice to have dinner outdoors. Super nice staff, good food on the expensive side.

    We go to this restaurant a few times per ski season. Tonight we tried something new: we ordered 3 small plates, a salad with chicken, and a smash burger to split among our table of 3 people. It was the perfect amount of food and the tab was not as outrageous as when we all order entrees. I find the apps here to be more interesting than the entrees so small plate style is the way we will go from now on.

    The entire meal at Fire tower was exceptional from the Spicy Beef empanada to the last bites of Dirty Chai Cake. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and was able to anticipate any needs that we may have had.
