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.

    This is a food hall, more than a restaurant. They have a Ramen bar, hamburger and sandwich stall, Mediterranean/Middle Eastern stand, dessert, and a pizza stand. The hamburgers were excellent. The Shawarma was excellent. The Caesar salad is more of a coleslaw. The Ramen was acceptable. Getting there is a little bit of a hassle from the village. Would stay on the main road if walking.
