We are so fortunate to have such a unique and authentic restaurant in our backyard! Thank you for the thoughtful and excellent service! The breakfast buffet is always exceptional and the staff always willing to go out of their way to accomodate a request. In a time of extreme staff shortages and reduced hours or opening days it is such a treat to have a fabulous breakfast experience in a gorgeous setting. Thank you for your commitment to our valley and fantastic food!

Tricia, our server was excellent, and the food, ambiance, and service was excellent. Perfect setting to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and well worth the 90 minute drive from Denver. Tricia was very attentive and readily retrieved additional items from the buffet as we requested. Great!

We fell on this restaurant at the last minute looking for a Friday evening reservation not at 515pm. We didnt plan ahead. What a lovely surprise. The food was delicious, the service impeccable, and we could hear each other talk across the table wo shouting. We will definitely be back.

We went straight off the slopes at 5:15 pm on a Friday, so we had the place practically to ourselves. Servers were fantastic, the food (scallops for app, wild boar and venison mains) were excellent, Erdinger bier was really good, and the surprise champagne cotton candy at the end was delightful.

Fantastic food, first rate service, and great ambiance. Every dish was perfectly prepared and presented. The wait staff was terrific. And the room has wonderful alpine decor and a comfortable warm feeling to it. The terrace room is also a beautiful place to dine. I highly recommend a dinner at Ludwig’s while you’re in Vail.

Wow, day 20 of 21 of our holiday and we found Ludwig's. So far ahead of the rest it's untrue. Fine dining at its best. The restaurant is quiet and beautifully constructed. The food was subkime, Chef's take on crab cake and velvety wagyu tenderloin. Lena our server was just amazing - a complete contrast to the rushed pushy servicd we have experienced everywhere else. The Chef came out to chat too - he has a real passion for food. We loved this place so much and so sad we only found it at the end of the trip.
