This restaurant can be a little hard to find at night because it's connected to the bar, but a separate sit down restaurant. It's where they have the breakfast for the hotel guests. Lots of authentic German/Austrian cuisine on the menu, and both of our dishes were really good. I tried the Beef stroganoff and was not disappointed. Overpriced a bit, but so is everything in Vail.

Very nice bar. Food was surprisingly good. Got the pretzel and brat sandwich. The sandwich was good, but it's messy. The bread doesn't hold up that great and got soggy quickly- but taste was good down to the potato's. Great atmosphere. The place is bustling but it's very chill inside. Totally recommend.

A little pricey but worth the money. Amazing food, nice environment dinning area separate and quieter than the bar and live music section of the restaurant. Comfortable ambiance.

Was in town and folks were telling me about this place so I had to check it out. Went with my friend and her mother; food came out fast and hot (we got the sandwiches and French onion soups) however food is overpriced and mediocre, but it's Vail.... The staff were friendly and attentive as well.

Food is excellent, very authentic and delicious. We had nearly everything on the menu and with our large party and it was all so good! However, the service was absolutely terrible. We had a reservation and they sat a large walk in party after us, and then let us sit there for 20 min before we were helped. The walk in table that came in behind us had their drinks and appetizers before they even took our drink order. The manager was rude, and scattered, so that didn't help either. I gave it 4 stars solely on the food.

Had a quick drink and the pretzel with my daughter. Sat in the enclosed patio and it's the best spot to sit in my opinion. The pretzel is small but dense so it's just as filling as the large pretzels you get at other restaurants. Our server was super sweet. Highly recommend this place! The inside is so cute and cozy also!

Perfect Al fresco setting, good people watching and nice hospitality for our party of 3 plus two dogs! Beet salad was very good.

Enjoyed the vibe and live music in the bar area while waiting for the restaurant to open. A cocktail server never approached our table so I ordered at the bar. We enjoyed the cozy little Getman restaurant with authentic food choices. However the cost was high even for Vail. $168 before tax or tip for 3 meals, 1 appetizer and 1 martini . Worth one visit to try the food but we probably don't need to go back for $$$.
