It was disappointing , the lettuce/ salad was drenched in dressing, the soup came after the entrees inspite of saying forget it, the lime and lemon slice for drinks never arrived, we were never offered a dessert menu The table had melted cheese from a previous diner stuck on the place setting I know they can do better!! This is the beginning of the summer season, no excuse for sloppiness like this, with so many other choices We live in Colorado and often come to eat here during the year when we stay here in Vail

We had Bouillabaisse and Hachis Camarguais; both were superb! Our dessert was a Clafoutis aux cerises. Same quality we would have found in France (where we are coming from). The owner, chef, and server are top class. We are going back for dinner next week! We highly recommend this place where you can eat next to the river. The sound of the water is much better than loud patrons or loud music!

The food was good but the service was awful. We have been here probably 15 times and have never had such a bad experience. We were the only ones on the restaurant when we got there and our waiter Javi seemed bothered when we asked for anything. They didn’t have the supplies to make the signature cocktails on their drink menu. He never came back to tell me they didn’t have it he just never brought my drink and when I told him later to just cancel he said “oh we don’t have the stuff to make it.” We then tried to order a sodas and and they were totally flat. He said they would switch the carbonation but when the drinks never came I asked him and he said they had no carbonation to switch it out so we just drank water. The grill was broken for the raclette and it took forever to cook the food. When we told the waiter he acted annoyed that he had to switch out the grill. We had to ask three different people to have a fondue pot relit and I had to go back to the kitchen to ask for a to go bag after our waiter heard the request, acknowledged that he would have to go to the kitchen and get it and then just walked away in the other direction. He just overall ruined a really nice dinner with his horrible attitude.

Comida deliciosa y servicio excepcional. A pesar de la familia García que fue muy ruidosa, el personal hizo todo para asegurarse de que tuviéramos una buena experiencia. Muy agradecidos por cómo manejaron todo.

Me cambiaron la hora de reservación 2 veces Al llegar me dijeron que solo había lugar en la barra y el lugar estaba vacío, era cumpleaños de mi hijo y aún así no quisieron sentarnos en una mesa aún y cuando hice la reservación hace un mes, la hostess nos dio el peor trato y nos canceló la reservación
