“ This was probably the best place to go to for some after skiing grub! If you’re wanting a beer and some good nachos or sandwiches/burgers, this is the place! We were able to walk in and find a table around 5:30ish on a Saturday night. They just closed the patio after we arrived since it was getting dark. Best starter is the platter of nachos - for a party of 5, we dominated it! I ordered the Reuben sandwich and it was a solid sandwich for dinner. Service was pretty good, our waiter was helpful and continued to check in on us throughout visit. I would come back and recommend Garfinkel’s for a easy casual dinner in the Lionshead village! ”
“ Overall we had a good experience! We got the Southwest Chicken salad and Garf’s Green Salad with salmon. Food was pretty fresh and I’d get it again! Views were awesome, our server was great, and prices were very reasonable for the area. I really wanted to try the House Pasta, but it was a Dinner option and dinners are only available to order after 5, so I’m sure I’ll be back to try that another day! ”
“ Very good food with a lot of healthy options. I really enjoyed the Power Salad. Also gluten-free burger options. The view is stunning. Fair prices. Highly recommended. ”
“ Genuinely the best vegetable quesadilla I have ever had. As a vegetarian who typically has limited options, that is really saying something. Our server was friendly and the drinks were great. We will definitely be back ”
“ Very pleased with nachos. The portion can feed 3-4 people! Unbeatable view of ski slopes. Very casual atmosphere. Picnic tables out on deck. Inside chairs with a back. Quick service. ”
“ This place is a must visit when in vail. Food was great and the staff went out of their way to make our experience great while visiting. They even changed the TV channel on the big TV to the MSU game so we could watch NCAA tournament. Shout out to Santiago our waiter for making the experience great. We were a party of six with four teenage boys and everyone found something on the menu they loved! Great atmosphere both inside and out! ”
“ Visited twice during our stay in Vail - once for drinks and again for lunch. Great views & nice, casual atmosphere. Ordered the Buffalo Chicken wrap with fries, mozzarella sticks, Italian sub, and BLT wrap. All were decently priced and decent quality. Service was always friendly and attentive. ”
