We always love brunch at Ludwig’s. But, the tables were so close together that people returning from the buffet as well as waitstaff pouring drinks repeatedly nudged our chairs. It was quite disturbing. Fewer tables and umbrellas please!

For some reason they never seem to manage the queue to get in and the tables. Same in winter time. There's a massive queue and I waited 15 min. to get the table making us late for the reservation. When seated we could see lots of empty tables. Kept going on while we sat and ate, massive queue and lots of empty tables. Seems like poor management and it starts off the day in negative way. Besides that, we still love the breakfast buffet and the waiters are lovely and sweet. There's absolutely nothing to fault as soon as you get your table.

There was no order off the menu option, thus, everyone dining had to choose the buffet which was $50 per person. This was explained as we checked in for our reservation. Know this going in. Very $$$ for breakfast

Disappointing. Service slow, apologies were Germanic as if it was our fault for being part of a busy evening. Nice touches (great salads) were offset by a couple of menu choices we regretted (the gnocchi is actually not a pasta dish) and vegetarian menu choices visible on the online menu which we checked for our guests were not available. This is a beautiful space but they really take their Vail vacation audience for granted. Since we are locals we will not be back soon

Food is excellent and value is reasonable for resort dining Unfortunately we were seated at the table near the door, which was very busy with crowds brushing by - although we reached out in advance to request a specific table We also had to wait 30 minutes from seating until we were served our beverage Our waiter was very personable and the meal service picked up after the initial delay

See my recent previous review. As before, dinner was superb and service impeccable. One major difference this time was I had the arugula and radicchio salad with blue cheese instead of the Caesar. The Caesar was very good but this was even better. Also highly recommend the hamachi starter which was omakase quality. My two best meals in Vail this ski season were both at Ludwig’s.
