Up The Creek

When you are in vail, this is the place to stop by and enjoy the Gore River flowing nearby, delicious food and friendly staff. It's tucked away behind and below other restaurants. Bit of searching, you will be delighted.Only got to try the blackened fish taco with delicious salsa and chips. Highly recommend. Arugula salad was very fresh and delightful.One of the highlights of visiting Vail.

Ambiance was nice, if a little low-energy. Adult food was fine, decent portion sizes for the price for the starters. Service was also fine, polite but not particularly welcoming. I have a very specific complaint, but it just leaves me with a bad taste about this restaurant. The main reason we chose to eat here is that the kids' menu looked reasonable for Vail ($8-9 for plain noodles, which is what our young kids wanted). When we arrived, the only pasta dish on the kids' menu was over $20 for spaghetti and fancy meatballs. Ultimately, they still made plain noodles for us but charged $14 per meal. We were just annoyed that the menus didn't match; felt like a bait and switch. Please update your website!

hmm. Where to even start.Let's begin with drinks, I enjoyed my drink, the Dulce Vida Margarita. It was good with a little spice at the end. My boyfriend got the old fashion and it tasted like a straight shot of Jack Daniels Tennessee honey whiskey, which wouldn't be bad if it didn't cost 15... To sandwich in a positive, the crab cake appetizer was delicious, just be warned if you're sharing it only comes with one. The sauces really elevated the crab cake and added an extra umphNext, the entrees... this is where it went down hill real quick. The braised short rib with Gouda Mac and cheese was tasty but the portion was very small, imagine a 1/4 cup of Mac spread around and 3 asparagus... My boyfriend ordered the pork belly and scallops. For $38, there was a small piece of overly salted pork belly and two tiny scallops (maybe the size of a quarter). The ocean is 139 million square miles, I'm sure we could've picked a few bigger ones... Honestly, I wouldn't mind the small portions if the food was mindblowing, but I wasn't wowed. It's a nice place, a bit tight but still intimate and cozy. to end, it's good but that's it

First off, view is amazing. Came here for lunch. I had the bison gyro. Highly recommend. My wife had the blackened fish taco. She really liked them. Fyi, they have a full bar!

Outdoor seating was my favorite! You get the view of the river and the fall leaves. Perfect spot for lunch. The service was great. Attentive and communicative. The food was delicious. I got the gyro and fries, satisfied my cravings!

Exceptional dining experience. Wife got a pesto shrimp pasta special. I got the beef shank. Both spectacular. We dined at night in the winter but you still had a nice view of the stream outside. The parking at Vail Village though ($65 for two hours). Absolutely ridiculous!!! Especially at that time of night/year when very limited crowd.

This was the best meal we had in all of Colorado! WOW! The service of our bartender Alex was PHENOMENAL!! The ambiance of the restaurant on the creek is perfect! GO HERE!!!!

The ambiance can't be beat, but I found the food to be mediocre, especially for the price. I got a salmon dish that tasted like they spread orange marmalade on top of it. It was way too sweet and sticky, and there was way too much of it. It was hard to eat. I added one scallop to the dish as a side, and that was delicious. So maybe stick to scallops. However, all that being said, sitting on the creek outside is quite lovely. Maybe next time, I'll just come for a drink.

We had a delicious dinner with wonderful service. The short ribs and Gouda Mac and cheese were delicious.

Great lunch. Good gluten free options The Rueben is great!Mixes green salad is different and good. They even have gluten free croutons.
