Left Bank - Vail

Ok but not great. Certainly there are better options for French cuisine in Vail. The chocolate soufflé saved a mediocre meal. Good service. Ridiculously expensive. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Chocolate Souffle

The Ambiance/decor is a little weird, but if you get a seat by the window it's nice. We go here occasionally and always have a great meal and they have a great wine selection.

My husband and I didn't have high hopes based on the pictures of dishes. Not imaginative or innovative plating I guess. Because it's Vail during Spring ski season, we didn't have a lot of options left; restaurants get booked months in advance. We resolved to have a mediocre meal for exorbitant prices but with the lovely company of friends to make it worthwhile. We banked on at least decent service. Upon arriving, we were further disappointed when we saw a steel coat rack right at the entrance and a refrigerated case of desserts next to the hostess stand. This is acceptable for a diner, NOT for an elegant restaurant. The high rating despite my gripes above is because the meal was outstanding. Again, nothing innovative, but high quality ingredients, perfectly executed traditional French fare. What stood out: Lobster bisque had good quantity of tender fresh lobster meat in a bisque whose consistency was just right- not too creamy or thick and not too thinned out with cheap stock. Seasoned with restraint and rich in flavor without being overpowering. Everyone at the table kept this dish rotating until the dish was wiped clean with bread. Pork chop seasonal special was cooked to perfection. The French style of beef Wellington was also impressive. The pastry was a beautiful light compliment to the decadent buttery soft meat inside. The chocolate soufflé was not up to par unfortunately. Small, barely tasting of chocolate, ours came to the table puffed up, but did not have the satisfying crusty layer on top. It was more of an airy bread pudding type of dessert. A good meal overall but not to the quality their prices would imply. A 3.5 star rating would be more appropriate. I'd return if there were again no other reservations available
