Mountain Standard: Wood Fired Cuisine in Vail Colorado

Mountain Standard is passionate about serving seasonally crafted cocktails, sought-after spirits, and an extensive selection of local and national craft beers. Even our non-alcoholic beverage list is comprised of unique concoctions utilizing juices, rotisserie roasted fruits and fresh herbs.

The creators of the legendary Sweet Basil opened Mountain Standard in December 2012 as a rustic relaxed tavern. The majority of Mountain Standard's menu is prepared via the most primal cooking method: over an open and live wood fire. The food has rustic, bold and honest flavors, focusing on the purest ingredients in the Rocky Mountain region and beyond. Service, like the cuisine, has that perfect balance of a first-class dining experience with a more casual vibe.

There is no smoke and mirrors here - no fuss - just simple, honest, from the heart service and cooking. The beauty of the creek side location is mirrored by the high energy vibe of our dynamic restaurant. It is this energy, outstanding service, and hand-crafted food that enables Mountain Standard to offer a truly unique dining experience, approachable and enjoyable to everyone.
