Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Fitz offers a charming outdoor venue and is a prime spot for pre-concert dining with its lovely river-view patio. Patrons praise the "attentive service" and "amazing food" in a "comfortable atmosphere." Despite some service hiccups during busy times, it remains a "go-to restaurant" in Vail.

    This was a very poor experience. Reservation for lunch on July 4th made weeks in advance. Call from restaurant received on July 3rd at 4:47pm to let me know that only a BBQ buffet at $50/person would be offered and we could not order from the menu. At that late notice, finding another lunch option was impossible. When we arrived, the place was mostly empty and when we left, it was still mostly empty. This is one of the busiest weekends in Vail and the number of empty tables should've been a huge red flag. Our server took our drink order, delivered the drinks and walked away. I had to ask a nearby table where the buffet was located. We had to go into the restaurant to find her for our check. Food was mediocre at best. Hot dogs were shriveled, hamburgers were overcooked and burned, brisket was more fat than meat, mac and cheese was gummy with a hard crust on top, watermelon salad was almost gone with no replenishment in sight. Overall, had I been served any of that food from a menu order, it would've been sent back. The buffet was located in what appeared to be a basic banquet room....so much for a BBQ Bash. The real surprise came with the check...which we had to chase down. There was an automatic high upcharge charge for the holiday, a high automatic service charge for our server who only took one drink order...no food order, no food running, no plates clearing, etc. $50/person for the quality of the food was a stretch to begin with; the upcharge and "tip" were ridiculous. After apologizing for the terrible experience to our out of town guests, it's clear that my family will avoid the Fitz in the future. I hope other locals and visitors also find other options among the many restaurants in the Vail Valley.

    Our reservation was mishandled. Food took over 30 minutes to arrive. The loud music overwhelmed the diners inside. The food was ok, not great at all. Our server Austin was excellent. He tried to make things better and was a delight.

    Terrible. Sandwich arrived cold as did the fries. We had to hunt down the staff to get drink refills and the check. Brought the check to the bar to try and pay, and the bartender could not help us. Server was nowhere to be found, assume it’s because she was running around. I will not return to the fitz

    The Fitz is/was one of our favorites. The wait staff yesterday was absolutely terrible… AND had attitude and almost aggressive towards a woman with us. Putting them in “time out” for the Summer. Life is too short for that behavior - plenty better places in Vail.

    Waited for 35 minutes. Filled our water glass 3 but never even took a drink order. Left after we complained to the hostess and waited another 7 minutes.

    The Fitz has always been a great go-to restaurant, especially when we are hitting the amphitheater for a concert. They have a nice outdoor patio overlooking the river in addition to plenty of seating inside. The food has always been great and we’ll definitely be back!

    We went for a pre-concert drinks and apps and it appeared. The restaurant was not prepared to handle everybody at once. It took a long time for someone to come over and bring us water and then to get our order taken. Since we were going to a concert, we had limited time so I had to keep coming up to find our great person. I have been coming to Al for years but never have eaten here and it’s a perfect pre-concert location, but I would not go back if they cannot staff the restaurant to handle the crowd

    Really good dinner here with great service! We looked at reviews and thought this was a little more ~fancy~ dinner when it really is more a nice sit down bar. Still really enjoyed it. Food and drinks were pretty expensive even for being in Vail lol. But overall good!
