Phenomenal - Chef Kate and her team have the perfect balance of genuine connection, personalization, and attention to detail. The long history and committed staff is proof that they are doing hospitality and culinary right. We savored every bite of Chef Kate’s ingenuity, and appreciated the sommelier’s suggested glass of wine that paired just perfectly. Casey was a gem and master of the dining room. Thank you everyone for a memorable evening. We will be in again!

About the restaurant

Splendido at the Chateau offers wonderful Rocky Mountain dining featuring hearty yet refined American-European cuisine. In summer, enjoy a cocktail or dine outdoors on our flower filled deck and enjoy great views of Beaver Creek Mountain. As the sun sets and the mountain chill sets in, retreat indoors and get cozy next to our lovely, double-sided, wood burning fireplace.

Vail

About the restaurant

From the creators of Sweet Basil in Vail Colorado comes a fresh, innovative new restaurant opening December 2012. Aptly named Mountain Standard, this rustic and relaxed tavern aims to set a new standard in the Vail valley by using an ancient form of cooking.

The majority of Mountain Standard’s menu will be prepared via the most primal cooking method: over an open and live wood fire. The only restaurant in the valley to devote themselves to this age-old way of cooking, the food at this exciting new restaurant will have rustic, bold and honest flavors, focusing on the purest ingredients in the Rocky Mountain region and beyond.

Service, like the cuisine, will have that perfect balance of providing a first class dining experience with a more casual vibe. There is no smoke and mirrors here - no fuss - just simple, honest, from the heart service and cooking. The beauty of the creek side location is mirrored by the high energy vibe of this dynamic restaurant.

After traveling to Vail for 25+ years, we finally took the time to eat at Lancelot. Food was incredible and we only wish we would have eaten here sooner. Will definitely be back!
