Bistro Fourteen

Being a restaurant on top of a mountain in a ski resort area, it's really pretty good! We tried their lamb reuben and beef sandwich and they're both delicious! Well we could be biased because we were very hungry, and everything tastes better when people are hungry haha.I've never had a lamb reuben before, but man it was so delicious! It's definitely expensive, but at least it was good.The view was also nice and the place had tall ceilings. The service was friendly but a bit slow that day. Overall, it's a decent place to stop by to get some hot food!

Was expecting a high-end mountaintop lunch but Bistro Fourteen is not what it seems like at first glance. If you are expecting nice service in a relaxing atmosphere, this is not it. Pretty much everyone else who was seated around us had the same reaction.The main gripe is that after you are seated and presented with $25 elevated sandwich options, you are instructed to queue at a single cash register to place your order. Huh? After waiting in line for ten minutes, placing your order, and being asked to pay upfront, you're then presented with aggressive suggested tip amounts.20+ minutes after having been seated, I had to flag someone down to bring water to the table. After we drank the entire carafe of water, we were back to not being acknowledged.Food was good considering it's a marginal (25%) price increase over cafeteria burgers and chicken tenders. Food came out at a decent cadence. Service was consistently absent.Chairs are basic hard metal mountain lodge chairs with no padding.

Let's face it. We all know that you're not going to get the best food at the best prices on top of a 10,000-foot tall mountain. The skiers, snowboarders, and tourists of all ilk are there for mountain and are pretty much a captive audience for whatever types of food there happens to be on top. We ended up eating at Bistro 14 because a $20 food voucher was included in our gondola tickets. Otherwise, we wouldn't have even attempted an overpriced resort place like this for lunch. Given all of that, it wasn't terrible. The food actually tasted very good (even if costing double its actual value). My husband and I split the charcuterie tray and the turkey pot pie. For two people, this was plenty of food.One of my only complaints is that our server specifically asked if we wanted the pot pie split into 2 plates and I said no. When they brought it out, it was split into two plates. Oh well... Also, there were not nearly enough crackers on the charcuterie tray to go with that much meat and cheese, so we asked for more. All in all, good quality food and not "junk food" so if you're looking to eat healthier on top of the mountain, I'd recommend it over the food-court style places with pizza and burgers. Just be prepared for the prices, including built-in resort gratuity.

Fast upscale food for a ski resort. Enjoyed a Quinoa salad with grilled salmon $20. A fresh salad with mixed greens / only suggestion is that lettuce needs to be pre-washed, because some had a chemical taste. Otherwise, very nice combination of flavors.

We stumbled upon this place after a snowshoe tour at the top of Eagle's Nest on Vail mountain. A few people were saying that it's not worth it to buy the pass to ride up on the gondola, and the views (in the day anyway) are breathtaking, but we had our lift tickets still so we just rode up. Upon arrival, we were seated right away and had a quirky but attentive waiter. I didn't really notice a whole lot about the atmosphere, not good or bad, but there was a beautiful sectioned photograph of the mountains above the bar.The food was all good, not incredibly memorable but everyone enjoyed their food and was satisfied. I ordered chicken tacos. For me, it was just the right amount of spicy-ness (not much at all) and the rice and beans were nice on the side. Then we asked for a dessert menu, because we are on vacation right?, and he just brought out a small brownie with ice cream and whipped cream and sprinkles on top. They regularly give these to diners but you have to ask, so be sure to do so! It was a nice little treat at the end of our meal!

We have only eaten in the dog friendly patio for lunch! We love their food everything we have tried is wonderful. Usually enough that we take a to go.

We took the lazy route up the mountain, while our friends hiked two ours to get up here. You have to go here even if just for the view. We had a light lunch of a flatbread with tomatoes and balsamic, a cheese and meat plate, and a couple beers.

The views are beautiful and this is the only reason that you would eat here in the evenings. The service was good on this evening.The ahi tuna salad was decent, but I was very disappointed by the portion of the tuna that accompanied the salad. There was only 5 or 6 thinly sliced pieces, so very little protein to make it a meal. The beet salad looked like it had canned beets and could tell that the beet were even roasted. For the price of the salads, I was disappointed with the portions and quality. Also, order the bakes oysters, which was OK and went well with our salads. The one really great point of the restaurant is that it has a wonderful kids' menu. For $10, the kids started with a carrot and fruit plate, then had spaghetti with cheese and a hamburger as their entree (respectively), and then dessert with ice cream+brownie. This worked out well for us. Just for this point, we will come back because as parents I will pretty much eat anything as long as my kids are taken care of.Lastly, if you have a gluten sensitivity, ask for their gluten sensitive menu. They are very accommodating in regards to this dietary requirement. Overall, we would come back to make the most out of the fee for the gondola.

Really nice mountain restaurant. We've eaten there many times for lunch and have found the service quite good. Get Cindy if you can! Nice soups, salads. At the top of the Lionshead gondola.

This was once an excellent dining experience in what once was a world class resort (Vail). Neither is now true. Now Bistro 14 is a bar with Costco snacks. Kitchen tray stacks are pushed into a corner. It is not attractive in any way. Is this Vail or some third rate resort?
