Concerts & Shows
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Beaver Creek Village, the Vilar Performing Arts Center is a cultural gem that offers an array of year-round entertainment. With a seating capacity of over 530, this venue showcases everything from Broadway musicals and concerts to comedy shows and family-friendly productions. The center is not just about performances; it also plays host to community events, awards ceremonies, and fundraisers throughout the year.
During our stay in Beaver Creek, we had the opportunity to visit the Vilar Performing Arts Center, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! This intimate yet world-class venue is a hidden gem in the heart of Beaver Creek. The theater’s design and acoustics are outstanding, creating a perfect setting for an immersive performance. Despite its cozy size, it hosts an impressive lineup of shows, from concerts and Broadway performances to comedy and dance. The staff was incredibly welcoming, making the entire experience seamless from arrival to seating. We appreciated the comfortable seating, excellent sightlines, and the overall upscale yet relaxed atmosphere. It’s clear that Vilar Performing Arts Center is committed to delivering top-tier entertainment in a setting that feels both elegant and personal. If you’re in Beaver Creek, whether for a ski trip or a relaxing getaway, I highly recommend checking out a performance at Vilar Performing Arts Center. It adds a unique and cultural touch to any trip, and we can’t wait to return for another show!

I absolutely loved this theater! My wife and I needed a quick getaway to the mountains. We discovered that one of our favorite artists was performing here, so we bought tickets. The theater was beautiful and comfortable. Seats were great! Staff and clientele were delightful. Lobby and amenities exceptional! And the show was phenomenal! It was so easy to park, get in, and get out. I can't wait to return!

A truly incredible venue nestled in the magnificent mountains of Colorado. The theatre is stunning, with a contemporary design in wood that feels warm and cozy. The sound was spectacular, it boosts one of the best systems for a smaller venue. Rather mind-blowing to realize the theatre sits three floors below street level. Here on work with a concert tour, the support staff was friendly and skilled. A real pleasure, look forward to getting back.

Got to go see 311 here and was happy with parking (not a far walk to venue), seats in the balcony were great and they had a free coat check. Looking forward to seeing other shows (comedians and magic as well as other bands) here.

Outdoor Activities
Cross-country Ski Areas
The Beaver Creek Nordic Sports Center, located at the base of the Strawberry Park Express Lift in Beaver Creek Village, is a must-visit destination for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing enthusiasts. With 19 kilometers of lift-accessed trails in McCoy Park, visitors can enjoy stunning views and diverse terrain. The rental shop offers a variety of equipment for classical, skate, and snowshoe activities. Visitors have praised the knowledgeable and friendly guides who ensure a comfortable pace and provide great trail suggestions.
We went out snowshoeing twice in two days with Carrie, and had an absolute blast both times. She's knowledgeable, careful, thoughtful, and funny. She always made sure to match her pace to ours, and was judicious with breaks and making sure everyone in the group was handling the pace and exertion comfortably. She's been bumping around these parts a bit and knows the area really well, so you can be assured you're in good hands if you go out with her. I can't recommend this experience enough, and if you're in Beaver Creek and want to give a different experience a try, be sure and book a tour at the Nordic Sports Center.

Nice, friendly staff. Well maintained trails and epic views! The gents running the chair lifts and scanning tickets were all so helpful to a lone snow shoer amidst a bustling skiing crowd. I had an epic day snow shoeing at around 10,000 feet in freshly fallen sparkling snow! How wonderful!

On my recent trip to Colorado I stopped by the Beaver Creek Nordic Sports Center to rent some snowshoe gear for the day. I’ve rented gear from this location many times before, and it’s always been a pleasant experience, but I felt like my recent visit was less than enjoyable. Laurie assisted us, and when I opened the door to the shop she told us to wait outside, she was on the telephone at the time, and it appears that she was the only one in the shop. So we waited outside, and a couple minutes later she comes out and asks us what we need, she seemed a bit frazzled at the time. We let her know that we’re here to rent gear for the day. While sitting outside she has us fill out the paperwork and she brings some hiking shoes for us to try on. Once we tried on boots that fit, she asked for our credit cards, and took them back inside the shop to ring us out. It seemed to be taking a little long, so I thought it might be a good idea to check and see what was going on. When I opened the door to the shop she tells me that my credit card is being declined, and I thought that was strange because I just used it to get a cup of coffee within the last 30 mins and it was working fine at that time. I started to approach the counter because I noticed they have a credit card machine with the chip reader and perhaps she needed to insert my card in there for it to work, and once I do that she puts her hand up and tells me “can you just stand over there”. She then walks to the front of the counter and my credit card works when she inserts the chip. After that she comes outside to give us our receipts and says we’re good to go, and then I ask her to please explain how to put on the snowshoe gear because my mom has never done this before. She did explain the gear and made sure our poles were at the correct height after I asked her to, however as soon as someone else walked up to the shop, she was quickly walking away and I had to raise my voice and say “Wait a second, we would like to use the restroom before we get on the lift can you please give us the code?” The entire interaction with Laurie was very strange. Usually they would give you a map and share their recommendations of where to hike depending on your skills level. I’m not sure if this was stopped due to COVID-19 protocols or if she just forgot to do it. She seemed a bit rushed or perhaps she wants to limit customer interaction as much as possible due to the COVID-19 situation, but whatever the reason I didn’t feel like it was good customer service. I’ve gone on multiple tours and rented gear in the past, and it’s always been great. I understand that with the COVID-19 situation some changes needed to be made (i.e. trying on gear outside, leaving your shoes in bins outside), but if an employee is so fearful of what’s going on that they come across with an attitude, perhaps they shouldn’t be in a customer facing role, there has to be a happy medium. I wish the best for this shop, but definitely feel like they would benefit from having more of a friendly and warm approach, providing excellent customer service at a distance if they want those customers returning. Without customers there will not be a Nordic Center in Beaver Creek, and that would be a real shame because McCoy Park is such a lovely place to explore.

Rented cross country skiing equipment from Sue L, Ulrica J, and John B. Everyone was so helpful and we had an amazing day cross country skiing for the first time. This is the place you want to rent from as everyone was very friendly and had great trail suggestions. The boots were very comfortable as well.

You can buy lift tickets to McCoy Park here. They also have maps for the Nordic trails in all of Beaver Creek, not just McCoy Park. Discovery Overlook and the Upper Atlas Traverse have amazing views!

Excellent equipment and service. We rented some snowshoes for a day. Insulated boots, snowshoes and poles all came with the package. Nordic Center is located right on the showshoe trail that leads through the golf course, or a quick lift to McCoy Park. Employees help fit us perfectly, showed us the trails on a map, and got us going. Great experience from beginning to end. Thanks!

Terrible experience with cross country skiing lessons. We had lessons earlier this month and the trail was in terrible condition. No one said anything to us about these conditions. The trail up on the mountain was closed. Instead we skied at the bottom of the hill on the golf course. kids were sleigh riding, dogs were playing on the track that was not recently groomed. No one at the ski center told us about the terrible conditions. Spent $1000 for the 4 of us to rent equipment and to take lessons. When we returned the equipment spoke to a gentleman at the front desk about the conditions and no response. Like, tough luck. The instructor Nick was awesome! best part of the experience by far. Beware if you book this excursion to ensure the conditions of the track are not filled with sleigh tracks, paw marks and just generally unkept. Again, no one at the Center said the conditions were poor. Very disappointing.
Todd S — Google review
Very over priced for what it is. $61 for daily trail pass is steep for what you get. Telling my wife to get on the chair and look for the trail signs wasn't very helpful. The Vail Nordic Center is a better value and experience overall.

Hiking Trails
Beaver Lake Trail in Beaver Creek is a beloved local favorite that offers something for every season. The area provides opportunities for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and on-mountain snow tubing. Families can also enjoy the Children's Museum and the Black Family Ice Rink. This 10.14-kilometer trail is perfect for a day out with loved ones, including furry friends.
We hiked up the Beaver Lake trail then connected to Royal Elk near Beaver Lake. I like this combination as your effort is rewarded with a free ride down the Centennial lift. The first section of the hike was marked as the Five Senses Trail. It started just after the Beaver Creek Chapel. This section was picturesque and ideal for families with small children. The next section is along Elk Track Rd. You pass the maintenance facilities and fire station before getting on an actual trail. This section was marked as 1.4 miles to Beaver Lake. There are sections of the trail that are absolutely gorgeous, but long sections are just a gravel trail. The final half mile to the lake is very picturesque. Beaver Lake is beautiful and makes the effort worthwhile.

Great hike with a spectacular lake at the end of the trail. Out and back, up all the way to the lake and then down. Beautiful views along the way to the lake. I highly recommend this hike. Totally worth it.
Jeff B — Google review
The Beaver Lake trail is the signature trail at Beaver Creek. If you start from the bottom of the mountain it's a grueling up hill hike that takes a good 3 hours or more to complete up and back. I took the Centennial lift up, hiked the Royal Elk trail which connected me to Beaver Lake, then hiked the Beaver Lake trail down to the base. To me, this is the best way to attack this hike unless your looking for a long grueling workout!
A R — Google review
It was a nice challenging hike for the physically inactive me. Took us a little over 3 hours going up because we had to deal with our 10yr old's tantrum. Going down took us just an hour and a half. We brought a blanket and had a nice picnic by the lake at the top. Wasn't happy avoiding all the horse poop on the trail. How come us dog owners have to pick up after our pet but horse handlers dont???
Albert Z — Google review
Would not recommend for beginners, even if you are very physically active. Poorly marked trail and if you wear the wrong shoes, you will be slipping down steep areas with loose rocks. View was beautiful but it took us over 3 hours total and we got lost on the way down.
Holly R — Google review
Were staying in Avon, CO a few years back, and decided to tackle this trail during the month of late June. Mild-moderate difficulty for 2 "average" hikers. The scenery was fantastic, going from green grass at the beginning to snow near the top, which made for a diverse hike. It felt a little bit treacherous at times for the reasons stated, so be forewarned, and be sure to bring appropriate footwear. Definitely worth the visit for the amazing Colorado scenery - including mountains, pines, creeks, streams, wooden bridges, and of course Beaver Lake itself. Enjoy!

Sushi restaurant
Nestled in Beaver Creek Village, Hooked is a rustic-style seafood joint that offers an array of delectable dishes. The seasoned waitstaff guides patrons through a selection of fresh seafood from distant seas, which can be prepared grilled, sautéed, or fried. The restaurant's Insta-worthy whole fish can be enjoyed sashimi-style on one side and crisply fried on the other.
Holy tuna this place is good!! Everything from the food to the service to the atmosphere. Amazing job! Side note, the snapper is scary.

The food was great but clearly overpriced as I’m guessing the rent is super high, the menu is very vast and has a range for everyone. Fondue of lobster and crab was good, sushi combo omakasi sashimi came on a bed of rice which was a shock. The service was not great and needs some training and direction from the manger. The staff were very friendly.

Our recent visit to Hooked Beaver Creek was a delightful experience that earned a solid 4 stars from us! We decided to mix things up with a variety of dishes, and the menu didn’t disappoint. We started with some sushi, which was a standout—fresh, expertly crafted, and bursting with flavor. The fish was clearly high-quality, and the presentation was simple yet elegant, making it a treat for both the palate and the eyes. Next up was the Lobster roll sandwich, a dish I’d been eager to try. It came loaded with tender, succulent lobster, lightly dressed and nestled in a perfectly toasted roll. While it didn’t completely blow me away, it was undeniably delicious and a great option for seafood lovers. We also ordered the chicken sandwich, which was a pleasant surprise. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, with a nice crispy exterior that added some texture to the experience. It wasn’t the star of the meal, but it held its own as a solid choice for anyone craving something hearty. The atmosphere at Hooked Beaver Creek was decent—casual and relaxed, though not particularly memorable. Service was okay; the staff were friendly enough, but there were moments where it felt a little slow or disjointed. Still, the food more than made up for it. Overall, this spot offers quality eats in a laid-back setting, and we’d happily return to dive deeper into their menu. Four stars well-deserved!

We had the best meal at Hooked! They have been voted the best seafood restaurant in Colorado for four years and I understand why. They brought out a tray with four whole fish. The fish are flown in from Asia and Australia, never frozen. We picked a scorpion rock fish from Japan. The Chef then prepared the fish half raw (ceviche, sushi and sashimi) and half cooked. The whole meal was delicious and an unforgettable experience!

Our favorite place to dine in Beaver Creek village. They have a really nice diverse menu and all of their fish is not only fresh but they can prepare it for you a number of different ways depending on your tastes.

Nestled in the charming Beaver Creek, the Beaver Creek Chophouse is a delightful restaurant offering a delectable selection of steak and seafood. With year-round outdoor seating, it provides a wonderful dining experience with beautiful views of Beaver Creek Mountain. Families are sure to enjoy the fun environment and fantastic menu that includes appetizers, salads, robust steaks, chops, and fresh seafood. The Chophouse also hosts live music evenings and welcomes families with entertaining table-side magic shows.
Took my family for lunch here. We were served by Milan. As I’ve stated before in all my restaurant reviews, service accounts for 50% of my star rating. And Milan was one of the best. He is attentive and so friendly. It’s great that you have a kids menu since it allows the adults to have a menu with better foods than the typical ski lodge menu while the kids can have their typical favs like Mac n cheese, chicken fingers, burgers…etc. The outdoor seating ambience at the Beaver Creek Chop House is fantastic. You can bask in the sun and watch skiers coming down some steep blacks right before you.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chop House Beaver Creek, and I can confidently say it deserves every bit of a 5-star rating! From the moment we arrived, the experience was exceptional. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a stunning view of the mountain that perfectly complements the upscale yet cozy vibe. It’s the kind of place where you feel instantly relaxed and ready to enjoy a memorable meal. The menu is a delight, and we couldn’t resist trying a variety of dishes. The homemade chicken fingers were an absolute standout—crisp, juicy, and packed with flavor, especially when paired with the truffle fries, which were perfectly seasoned and indulgent. The lollipop wings were another highlight, tender and glazed with a sauce that had just the right kick. The shrimp and ahi poke brought a fresh, vibrant taste to the table, beautifully prepared and bursting with quality. We also loved the Caesar salad—crisp, tangy, and made with care—while the sweet potato fries added a delightful sweetness to balance the savory dishes. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made us feel truly welcomed. Every bite was a testament to the kitchen’s skill and passion. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Chop House Beaver Creek is a must-try gem that combines incredible food with an unforgettable view. I can’t wait to return!

I was looking for a place for dinner that could accommodate our group of 10 which included 2 young children. I called the restaurant, and despite a full inside buy out, they took our group on the patio with less than a 10 minute wait. Despite being insanely busy, we had great service, steaks cooked perfectly, and the server interacted with the two young children all throughout dinner. I was very impressed how they handled our large group with children despite being so busy! Thanks for a great meal, and great service!

Dining at Beavercreek Chophouse started by getting one of the best tables at the window towards the mountain. We basically had dinner and a show. The meal was excellent, we had the lobster Mac and cheese as an appetizer, which was filled with big chunks of lobster. My husband had the 8 oz filet, roasted brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. I had their Signature salad. The salad was wonderful, sweet from strawberries, crunchy from pecans and creamy from the goat cheese, plus more. The service was excellent. Just one tip, the sides are served family style, so everyone can share. We watched the groomers going up and down the mountain with their precision lines. Those machines are amazing! We also enjoyed watching the sleds being filled with people pulled up to Beanos and Allies Cabin. We really had a wonderful time.

Apparently they had a buy out of the chop house this day and the only option was their c-bar. The only table they had to offer us was a small patio two top next to the hostess and door. The dark haired hostess was chomping on her gum and popping bubbles like a horse. Very unprofessional. It took the server 10 plus minutes to greet us, and when she did she stated she wasn’t the server and would just take our drink order. It was a simple drink order of two of the same drinks but seemed to get the drinks wrong. After starting my timer and waiting an additional 10 minutes we waved down a wait assistant and asked them to find our server since we waited 20 minutes and told him we didn’t like our drink and it was wrong. He found the same original server and she took our order. The food wasn’t bad, for the price I expected more. Our salmon was overcooked when we asked for a med rare plus, the fava beans were hard. Mac n cheese was decent. The dessert wasn’t a lava cake more of a dense chocolate cake and rather dry. There was some magician entertaining the children and boy was he loud and obnoxious. I probably wouldn’t come back if I was in town again. The server was nice enough and apologetic, it wasn’t her fault the management wasn’t attentive to their staff and other customers. As a restaurant manager I understand how buy outs work, however you should still be cognizant of your other paying patrons and staff appropriately. Maybe even do a table touch and make sure the restaurant and customers are in fact happy.

My husband and I have been going to the Chophouse for several years and have always had a great experience. I have always felt that the food was fairly priced, especially because of the amazing location. We were so excited to celebrate our friend’s 40th birthday tonight with cocktails and apps. It was a huge disappointment. We ordered the seafood stack, which I must say was the most anemic seafood tower I have ever seen. I was expecting multiple levels of seafood, we received a small platter with half (yes, a half) lobster, a scoop of poke, a scoop of crab, and a few shrimp. The second level was only a half dozen oysters. The final oddity was the server’s insistence on dismantling the two measly trays of food. Not a great value considering the price. I was so underwhelmed, I asked the server how often the seafood was flown in because it seemed like they ran out midway through preparing our stack. The cocktails were great and service was fine.

Blue Moose Pizza in Beaver Creek Village holds a special place in my family’s heart. Dining at this restaurant is a time-honored, decades-long tradition. Our favorite pizzas are the Cowboy, Chicken Ranch, Marguerita, and Winter. More importantly, we value the fantastic customer experience that the manager, Mark, and his crackerjack staff deliver every time we have the opportunity to eat there. Since Summer 2023, our family has been fortunate to build a friendship with one of its staff members named Raheem. We ALWAYS ask to be seated in Raheem’s section. His outstanding service, joy, and laughter are why we come back. Yes, we love the piping hot, fresh out of the oven pizzas paired with ice-cold Coors Lights. But seeing Raheem and catching up with him matters! He’s a huge reason why Blue Moose Pizza in BC is our favorite restaurant in Vail Valley. I am confident other families feel the same.

Mark is easily my favorite restaurant manager anywhere. He’s always friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel like a VIP every time you walk in. Even when the place is packed, he stays cool, checks in to make sure everything’s perfect, and you can tell he genuinely cares about the guests. The whole experience is better because of him. Honestly, he’s the reason we come back! Thanks Mark!!

Absolutely, incredibly disappointed. I have been going to Beaver Creek for more than 20 years. We have always gotten Blue Moose Pizza. It was my favorite childhood treat. Today, I found out that I will never go again. I advise anybody to take my warning. $45 for two 12-inch BURNED pizzas. On top of them being charcoaled, they were soggy/floppy, as you can see by the massive amounts of grease in the picture. The taste is equivalent to DiGiorno Walmart brand oven baked pizza now. For some reason, they changed their, once, delicious recipe. Save your time and money and just eat in Vail or Avon. My kids ate it but asked for Domino's instead the whole entire time. Something that also needs to be mentioned for those of you who unfortunately will go through the same nightmare. I put my phone number in to be informed when I needed to pick up my order. 30 minutes passed, and I still didn't receive a text. So I just decided to walk from my resort back to Blue Moose, thinking it was an input error. Especially since they were not busy. When I got there, I immediately got my order and walked back to my resort. About 25 minutes later, I finally got a text message from them stating that my order was ready. So my pizzas would have just been sitting there cold had I not gone.

We came to Blue Moose twice for lunch over our 4-day stay... the best lunch spot to eat in Beaver Creek! The campfire pizza was phenomenal (great spice with the banana peppers!) and the cowboy pizza was delicious as well. An 18" was perfect to split between us two hungry skiers, and prices are very reasonable for the resort. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed the whole fish experience. We chose our fish and had several hot and several cold preparations. All of the courses were excellent. My husband tried aged fish nigiri for the first time, which he loved, and our bartender did an excellent job talking us through the different fishes

Everything was absolutely unbelievable. The service was excellent. The vibe was chill, and the food was beautifully presented and tasted phenomenal. We had a party of four. We had oysters, 3 sushi rolls, seared scallops, lobster roll, and clam chowder. We will be back before we leave Beaver Creek!

We love Hooked! We come twice a year in the off-seasons, it is such a treat to get to enjoy good sushi in the valley. The close-knit cozy restaurant is perfect for a date night intimate dinner spot.

We had the best meal at Hooked! They have been voted the best seafood restaurant in Colorado for four years and I understand why. They brought out a tray with four whole fish. The fish are flown in from Asia and Australia, never frozen. We picked a scorpion rock fish from Japan. The Chef then prepared the fish half raw (ceviche, sushi and sashimi) and half cooked. The whole meal was delicious and an unforgettable experience!

Our favorite place to dine in Beaver Creek village. They have a really nice diverse menu and all of their fish is not only fresh but they can prepare it for you a number of different ways depending on your tastes. This is a highly recommended restaurant to visit while staying in Beaver Creek. We have dined here over a half a dozen times and have always had a great experience.

American restaurant
Fine dining restaurant
Grouse Mountain Grill, located at the elegant Pines Lodge in Beaver Creek, offers a delightful dining experience with stunning mountain views and seasonal live piano music. The restaurant is known for its New American fine dining, featuring a prix fixe menu that includes options like butternut squash soup or mixed greens salad, organic roasted turkey breast with sage and sausage stuffing, and delectable desserts such as s'more chocolate pie.
Grouse Mountain Grill turned a potential disappointment into an unforgettable experience that has earned them a lifelong customer. In August, I made a reservation for a special occasion in late November. Less than 24 hours before our scheduled dining time—and after I had already confirmed the reservation—the restaurant reached out via OpenTable to let me know they couldn’t serve us that evening. However, they immediately offered to move our reservation to the next day and covered the entire meal, including cocktails and desserts, as an apology. This gesture alone speaks volumes about their commitment to exceptional service. When we finally dined there, everything was outstanding. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and seamless—and the food was a delight. We started with their famous hand-rolled tater tots, which were out of this world. I’m still dreaming about them and wish I could recreate them for Thanksgiving. Next, we split a Caesar salad, which was well-prepared with fresh cracked pepper. While the grated Parmesan was good, I personally prefer flaked Parmesan for a more upscale feel. For entrees, I had the off-menu filet. It was cooked closer to medium-rare than the medium I ordered—not a big deal, so I didn’t mention it to the server. While it was a flavorful cut, it had more fat than I like for a boneless filet. I expect a filet to be lean, so the excess fat was a minor letdown. On the other hand, my spouse’s salmon was perfect. This dish seemed to be the standout of the evening, as many tables ordered it. Everyone, including my spouse, raved about the flawless preparation and seasoning. For dessert, we enjoyed the chocolate cake and carrot cake. Both were delicious, but be aware that the portions are on the smaller side and not shareable, which is a bit unusual for upscale restaurants. Full transparency: our meal was on the house due to the reservation mix-up, but this did not affect my review. Grouse Mountain Grill is an excellent choice in the area, and I highly recommend taking the Village Connect to visit. You’ll enjoy great food, attentive service, and an experience truly worth the cost.

Gourmet food, attentive service and unexpected extras. I had the pretzel encrusted pork chop with the polenta green beans and carrots. Beautiful and incredibly tasty dish that is a house standard (do watch out for a small bit of bone on the end of what otherwise appears to be a boneless chop). There were several entrees competing for my attention. Unexpectedly, a dessert round option on the menu was a Century of Port flight, with tastes of 40, 30, 20, 10-year port. I had heard of this but never seen a venue actually offer this on the menu. Definitely gourmet prices, but it is also at Beaver Creek ski resort. Likely unforgettable if you are able to spend an evening there.

One of the best dinners I ever experienced. Robert took excellent care of us! And every course from this kitchen was made with love! Wish I could dine here every night!

I cannot even begin to explain the breathtaking experience of dining at Grouse Mountain Grill. Nothing brings me more joy than eating with my family surrounded by the beautiful mountains. The food has never failed us – it is absolutely delicious and gourmet. I had the mushroom Bolognese and highly enjoyed it. I also recommend the tater tots; for some reason, they really made the day. 🥔🤍 More than anything, I recommend living in the moment and enjoying some good food with great views. It was a def 10/10✨

The food is absolutely to die for! The cauliflower soup might have been the best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth #pause. The short rib melted in my mouth and was perfectly cooked. I would definitely come back to Beaver Creek just to eat here. 10/10!!!

I recently dined at Grouse Mountain Grill in Beaver Creek, CO, and it was an exceptional experience that deserves every bit of a five-star rating. From the moment we arrived, the warm ambiance and attentive staff set the tone for a memorable evening. The rustic yet elegant decor, with its cozy fireplace and mountain views, created the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable meal. The menu is a masterclass in elevated American cuisine, showcasing fresh, locally sourced ingredients. I started with the elk tartare, which was impeccably prepared with a delicate balance of flavors—rich, savory, and just the right touch of spice. For my main course, the Colorado lamb chops were a standout, cooked to perfection with a rosemary-thyme crust that complemented the meat’s natural tenderness. The accompanying truffle mashed potatoes were creamy and indulgent, elevating the dish to new heights. My dining partner raved about the pan-seared scallops, which were beautifully caramelized and paired with a vibrant citrus reduction. The wine selection was equally impressive, with an extensive list featuring both local and international varietals. Our server, who was knowledgeable and genuinely passionate, recommended a fantastic Pinot Noir that paired flawlessly with our meal. Service throughout was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, with every detail thoughtfully executed. Dessert was the grand finale: the warm chocolate lava cake with house-made vanilla ice cream was pure decadence, striking the perfect balance of rich and refreshing. Grouse Mountain Grill isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience that celebrates the best of Colorado’s culinary scene. Whether you’re a local or visiting Beaver Creek, this restaurant is a must. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to this gem, where every dish and moment feels crafted with care.

Our waiter,Scott, was attentive and pleasant, made great recommendations and served our party of 14 a delicious dinner. The “tater tots” are special, as is the pork chop entree. Everyone was happy with their steaks and the walleye is tasty too.

The restaurant is beautiful and feels special, the service was outstanding, the main courses were average unfortunately. My Elk dish was bland and my wife didn't like her octopus at all. The waiter did graciously remove it from the bill. On a positive note, my son loved his burger and the brussel sprouts were the best I've ever had and I'm a huge fan of brussel sprouts.

Mexican restaurant
Coyote Cafe is a lively Mexican cantina located in Beaver Creek Plaza, known for its Tex-Mex menu and scenic outdoor seating. It's a popular spot for locals, including off-duty ski patrollers, who gather here for apres-ski happy hour specials. The restaurant offers a variety of Mexican dishes such as nachos, fish tacos, fajitas, and carnitas along with a selection of signature margaritas. Visitors can also enjoy value lunch options like the $4.
Great spot for lunch and a beer while you’re up at Beaver Creek. While the food is okay the atmosphere and customer service makes up for it. Definitely a better option than the typical Vail cafeteria fare!

The food was okay, nothing too exciting. The restaurant was packed when we arrived, and the service was average. The nachos were decent, but my achiote chicken bowl was underwhelming—it looked better than it tasted. For some reason, my bowl was a bit watery, possibly from the lettuce. The ambiance was loud and had a typical sports bar vibe. Overall, just okay food.

Absolutely outstanding service. The food was good and reasonably priced considering it’s “on the mountain“, but not what I would call Five Star. We had the green chili pork enchiladas with black beans and green rice. Decent. We had the al Pastor tacos which I’d call above average. The four street sized tacos were stuffed with meat. We had the ceviche which I would just say is average. We had to use all of the limes on the table and add salt. We ordered the chips and salsa, and the salsa was so good we actually ordered some to take home with us.

The food is authentic Mexican and very good. The chef, Miguel is very talented and has created a menu with authentic Mexican food at very reasonable prices. The bar stays open until late at night and it's the place where all the locals go after they finish work in Beaver Creek.

The food is decent and better than the more expensive food on the mountain, however the staff when it's busy seem to have some issues. Equally the waiter we had basically disappeared for a while and when we asked to split the check it seemed as though he had never done it. If this was early in the season I'd say he was new, but I only just went and we are over half way through the season.

We have been going here for years, and the quality never disappoints. This time we got to sit at the counter because there was no table available but it turned out to be the best seat in the house. Watching executive chef Benjamin work his magic was really fun!

The waiter took out drink order and never put in our food order. After awhile we asked where is our food and he said he we never ordered any. Unbelievable. We left of course and mentioned it to the host snd he said that he is an excellent waiter. To me he looked stunned. . To me he looked stunned.

Definitely a must to dine in Beaver Creek! Great casual and affordable dinner spot with lots of flavor! Great post-skiing Mexican food - the al pastor and carnitas tacos were a hit. Friendliest server during our stay at Beaver Creek and quick service.
