Daniel's Bistro - Edwards

I’ve been to Vista twice, once last winter and last night. Atmosphere is absolutely wonderful with fire and Micky playing piano in the background! This visit was with my husband and another couple. We enjoyed martinis and good suggestions from the server. The filet, Caesar salad and wasabi potatoes were delicious! The halibut was good but not the best quality for the price. The trout was very good and sizable portion. Short ribs very good. We enjoyed our dinner and will be back!

Met some old friends here just the other night. I loved the ambiance in the old Vista. The new Vista is very mountain modern and beautiful as well. This is a great place to visit any time of year. The outdoor deck, now expanded, is gorgeous. Staff is very personable and efficient. We loved being seated near the fireplace and the piano, as Micky Poage is a Vail treasure. You name it, he can play it. Menu is expansive and we loved every course.

We have often been guests here ... both in the summer and winter. And we always had a great meal and great service. The latter was also the case this time ... but the food was rather stall and tasteless. Very different to prior visits. Maybe because it was the last day before 2 days off for the kitchen or the later seating. But the food both appetizer and main courses did not convince by any means. Disappointing.

This was a dinner with friends to celebrate our 55th anniversary. Waitress was ungracious and totally matter of fact. We ordered 3 beef ribs and 1 halibut. I asked our guest how was his fish. He was reluctant to complain(he was our guest) but said it was dry. I sampled it. Halibut is one of my favorites and his was overcooked and flavorless. All of the beef eaters agreed the beef was tasty but overly fatty. My wife’s spinach was so salty, she quit after a forkful. When I complained to manager, he wisely took the fish off bill and comped desserts. If it wasn’t for our great company, the overall experience would have been a disaster. The bill tip, even with removing fish and comped desserts neared$300. Conclusion: overrated, overpriced , underwhelming food experience. Will not return. Docsacks

We have eaten here twice before and it's been a lovely dining experience in the past. This visit was once again for an anniversary celebration and we were excited to come back for dinner. Same friendly and attentive service, same lovely outside ambience on the terrace overlooking the 9th green, same delicious food (given that we only ever order the short ribs best value on the menu for sure! . But this time we noticed a few small changes which took away from our prior experiences. The restaurant did a renovation and we're not sure why they did, as the restaurant was already lovely and elegant before. Also, the young women at the host station were not as competent, gracious and welcoming as in the past disappointing at the start of a dining experience. Lastly, we're used to receiving a confirmation phone call prior to the reservation and we never got that, so I had to call and confirm our reservation myself. If you've got host staff, then why aren't they paying attention to that detail? Small things, but noticed and wish they would find a way to return to the way it was before.
