Megan was an amazing server. We celebrated my birthday here and it couldn’t have been any better. The service and food were outstanding. I would highly recommend the Ahi Tuna Crudo to start with. We ordered the Venision Loin Chop which was exceptional and ended our meal with the Lemon & Fennel dessert. So incredible from start to finish. Don’t miss going here when you are in Vail!
