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.

    I always enjoy eating at Montauk. Seafood might not be your first thought in the mountains, but theirs is always fresh and expertly prepared. Their BBQ Salmon and Miso Glazed Sea Bass are our favorites but they also have several simply grilled dishes as well. Thanks to Rob, the GM, who always takes great care of us, and John, for the great service during our recent dinner.

    The lights shining down on you are incredibly hot. It was like you were in a spotlight - almost unbearable. Good was amazing and it would’ve been a great experience if the lights were not shining down on you the entire time.

    Second time we are here and it did not disappoint. The weiner shnizel and Hungarian goulash were both delicious. The escargots were good. Beer on tap was refreshing. A lot of food for the portions given so we took the rest back to the hotel. Service was great. Was nice to hear a guitar player play from the Bar area as background music.
