Dining

The Lodge at Vail offers two exceptional restaurants, a live entertainment bar, and outstanding banquet facilities. Join us and experience the very best food, wine, and service available in a variety of intimate settings.

Our signature restaurant, The Wildflower, allows you to experience a rare epicurean treat. Enjoy a romantic dinner for two overlooking the snow-covered mountain or dine on the terrace alfresco amid the fragrance of wildflowers and playful hummingbirds.

Cucina Rustica, serving breakfast year-round and dinner throughout the winter months, is the epitome of alpine warmth. The restaurant features a dark wooden interior, colorful china, limestone fireplace, and leather couch, exuding a feeling of comfort and tranquility. Cucina Rustica will serve an entirely buffet menu for the 2006-2007 winter season.

Mickey's Bar is a true Vail institution with real local flavor. Mickey Poage, our very own pianist, has been delighting generations of guests as his fingers dance across the ebony and ivory of the grand piano that permanently rests near our fireplace. After a day on the slopes, this cozy setting is the perfect place to relax, enjoy a drink, and soak up live apres-ski entertainment.

The Lodge at Vail's reputation as the Vail Valley's leader in food, beverage, and service quality does not stop at the entrances to our lounge and restaurants. The award-winning wine selections and culinary delights available in our dining areas can also be served in the comfort of your own guestroom, 24 hours a day.

For the convenience of our guests, the concierge is also pleased to suggest nearby dining establishments with rich local flavor.
