Neighborhood gem

There's nothing that quite compares to the experience of sharing a meal.

The Raclette Grill & Fondue Combo is designed for a fun and delicious family dinner.
A variety of foods can be cooked at one time, opening up the door for creativity and encouraging entertaining.
While food sizzles under the grill, meat or vegetables can be searing on top, and a bubbling pot of beef broth is ready and waiting for you and your guests to dip in their creations.

Join us for a unique private Gondola Dining Experience, located on the back patio of Alpenrose Restaurant in Vail, CO.

Our gondola cabins were recruited in South Tyrol, shipped to Austria for interior design and improvements, to the Black Forest for the final touches on the outside and after a long journey eventually found its way to Vail, CO.

Great time enjoying the gondola experience! The service was outstanding and the food true to its roots. Mix the cheeses and put them on the meats…delicious! The space is a bit tight, but cozy, so just be prepared, and you need every inch of table space! Also the mulled wine was outstanding! Enjoy!

Service and food was great. My only complaint was that despite a reservation, we were forced to wait quite a bit after our reservation time for our table, and there was absolutely nowhere to wait without being completely and utterly in the way of every staff member... who seemed annoyed with us.

If you’re just looking for a cute experience, this is the spot. Food is pretty mediocre and our burner wasn’t hot enough to even melt cheese.

Pros: Neat private gondola sitting area, friendliness of staff, good quantity of food. Cons: Fondue foods lacked flavor. None of it had any seasoning so you get potatoes, raw veggies, and meat that is very bland. It did come with sauces, but they oddly did not have very good flavor either. The cheeses were good so that is what we used to add flavor. The grill takes a long time to cook the meats so be prepared for that. Beef broth for the fondue did not add any flavor. We had to ask for salt and pepper just bring the flavor out of the meats. Plenty of food but the quality was low. Dinner for four adults with tip was $387 and really not worth it. We are not too picky and this is a really a great concept but poor attention to seasonings to make the meal tasty.
