Kelly Liken - Vail

Throughout our dining experience, two dishes stood out to us: the vegetarian risotto and an exceptional bass dish—honestly one of the finest fish dishes I've ever enjoyed. To sum it up, if you're in the area and seeking outstanding cuisine, Kelly Liken is definitely the place to go. Should you choose another restaurant that doesn't measure up, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself. For photos of our meal, check out our blog at [hidden link].

Before the winter rush, we visited this restaurant and took advantage of an incredible offer: 50% off the entire menu, including drinks, a wide selection of wines, appetizers, and main courses. This generous discount allowed us to sample a variety of dishes. Just before our appetizer arrived, we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary taste of the soup of the day. The menu changes with the seasons, and we decided to start with pork belly as our appetizer. For our main courses, we chose lamb shank and braised beef, both expertly prepared. Each dish was paired with a different wine that perfectly enhanced the flavors. To top off our meal, we enjoyed a small selection of desserts, which felt like a lovely farewell gesture. When it was time to leave, we were thrilled to find our car ready and waiting right outside the door, as the valet had anticipated our departure. I have never experienced such outstanding attentiveness to guest satisfaction at any other restaurant.
