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.

We absolutely loved this restaurant! We love how laid back but very nice the ambience was. Great place to grab drinks and eat an appetizer or have a good nice dinner. The margarita was amazing! All of the appetizers looked amazing, we got the pimento cheese dip which was incredible but wish we tried the wagyu starter. For dinner we had the pork shank and Tri-dip, both outstanding.

This is our first time visiting Vail for our anniversary, and some locals invited us to the Halloween Drag Brunch at Vintage. It was phenomenal! Great ambiance and vibes, great performance, delicious food and bottomless mimosas for a steal! Would definitely recommend brunch at Vintage! The highlight of our whole week here!
