Lancelot’s is one of the original Vail restaurants. There is a reason they have been in business all these years. The food is excellent and always consistent. While they are known for their prime rib, two of us had fish, one person had veal and the fourth had the best filet I have ever tasted! Upon arrival, the owner greets you and is very friendly and accommodating (someone came in and did not have a reservation yet he helped them out). Our server, Nina, was absolutely delightful and helped make our experience very enjoyable.

In town for business, I selected this restaurant based on the food reviews here on Open Table! The food was delicious. Our server was impeccable with her table service, describing the various dishes as well as making dinner recommendations. I will go back. I have one note to add for management that almost derailed a positive experience. Our party of 3 arrived at 7:50 pm for our 8:00 pm reservation. As we walked in we noticed a family of 3 seated in the waiting area, as we approached the hostess podium we overheard the father state to the wife “why didn’t we make reservations?!” As I approached the hostess she greeted us warmly and asked if we had reservations and I answered “Yes, we have reservations for 8:00 pm” She then stated loudly “ Please take a seat, there are 2 parties ahead of you with an 8pm reservation as well.” As she pointed to the family that we knew DIDN”T have a reservation at all and another family behind us, also seated and waiting. I pressed further and asked “For an 8pm, seating” ? To which she answered “Yes!” And motioned to where we could sit and wait for her to seat the other two parties ahead of us first. As I was contemplating should we stay or leave, because this was certainly disingenuous on her part, she suddenly appears and advises our table was ready and seats our party of 3 ahead of the other two parties already waiting, one of which we knew had no reservation at all. I’m assuming now the other party did not have a reservation either. I’m guessing she had a change of heart. Honesty and integrity fuels a businesses reputation. Always treat your customers fairly and act with integrity. Our servers more than made up for this unfortunate first impression. My colleagues and I enjoyed our meal, Christmas 🎄 carolers serenaded the restaurant during our meal and it made it all the more pleasant.

Best Weiner schnitzel I have ever had! Everything was excellent! My husband had the prime rib and we shared the apple strudel for dessert. They also make a wonderful martini.

We always dinner at Lancelot’s every ski trip. Our dinner last night was great as always. We had Prime Rib-which was cooked perfectly. We also had the Beet Salad which was delicious. A trip to Vail must include dinner at Lancelots.
