A group of ten had a great dinner here recently. My lobster sandwich was delicious and chock full of lobster meat (not salad!). The scallops and zucchini noodles someone else had was excellent, as was the Caesar salad appetizer. The ambiance is a little stark, but our servers were helpful and very friendly.Mike, thank you so much for your review! We are so glad that you enjoyed our Lobster BLT & our signature Scallops & Zoodles - definitely crowd favorites. We would love to invite you back in to bowl and dine! Email me next time you're in town so we can make your next visit even more special. Thanks again! -Karlynn, Restaurant Manager [email protected]

I have had MANY great experiences at the Tavern but last weekâs visit was a disaster. We were dying for nachos and seemed to remember getting them there in the past. Must haven been hallucinating. We ordered one for the table as an appetizer and my fiance and I and my daughter were going to share another for dinner. But when the app order arrived and we took one bite we changed our whole dinner order! They were terrible and the staff of what seemed like 100 europeans could have cared less. The kids got mac n cheese and it was literally a box of Kraft and they charged $12. Hardly any other place in Vail tries to hose you that badly. They say one bad experience can ruin dozens of previous good ones and that is exactly what happened here.

Miamimangomike gave a very accurate and eloquent review that I would agree with 100%. Our Weinerschnitzel was dried out along with the potatoes. The jagerschnitzel's sauce tasted like it came out of can. So disappointing.

We come here every year. We have been here 3 times this week. We enjoy the best happy hour in Vail. $4.75 for any drink from 3-9. We have had the tuna, crab lags, filet, nachos and most other entreeâs. We have never had a bad meal. Every time we have had a great experience. Our servers this year Theo and Rio were awesome. Check this place out it is a great place.

We had dinner on the patio because indoors felt stuffy and loud. The setting at the base of the mountain was beautiful. Ample vegetarian options where we had to make hard choices. Fun restaurant with a fun menu (though we did have to run a bit of gauntlet of smokers on the walkway to the patio).Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed the beautiful views of Vail Mountain from our patio in Lionshead Village and the many vegetarian options available. To avoid the smoking area, we suggest walking though our restaurant to get to our patio. Thanks for visiting!

I can't come to Vail without stopping at Bully's. I was here twice during this trip...once for lunch on a Sunday and again for drinks and appetizers with my Son. I love this place because the setting is so beautiful and peaceful. I had to get away from the crowd at the Farmers Market, and this was ideal. A glass of wine and the Ale Battered Fish and Fries is always a winner and once again, I was not disappointed. Service is friendly and attentive without hovering and I never feel rushed. Again, my Son and I stopped here for drinks and an appetizer on our last evening in town. Our Server didn't seemed thrilled that we were not there for dinner, but nonetheless she provided gracious service. Our Appetizer of Artichoke and Spinach (served hot in a crock) was very flavorful and was an extremely generous portion, served with chips...looked like the same ones I buy at my local Safeway. I'm not complaining (just observing) and altogether both experiences were excellent and I look forward to another visit to Bully's next year. Thanks for still being there!!Dear Nancy H,Thank you for your wonderful review! Agreed, when wanting to step away from the busy street, the Bully Ranch is the perfect location, especially with its beautiful outside patio. Nancy, be assured we will continue to be there and hope we will continue to never disappoint you. RegardsDanijela McGinley

All the food was phenomenal. The prices are quite high, but I'd say it's worth it once in a while! Also, it's Vail. Anyway, this place is famous for its hot chocolate, which is completely warranted, but the other food was got was great too. We had some yummy sweet potato things, to die for macaroni and cheese, and I had a good salad. The hot chocolate was brought with a production worthy of video taping. (See my photo caption.) I'm not giving a rating of 5 only because I wish there was more a nod to healthy selections, but based on taste alone, they deserve a 5+.
