La Tour Restaurant - Vail, Colorado

The service was absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in I was greeted by the hostess with a warm smile. Adam our server did an amazing job explaining the menu and recommended a lot of tasty dishes for me to try. He also made great drinks! The food was cooked to perfection. I have been living in Vail for a few years and have tried many restaurants and this one is by far my favorite. From the moment you sit down to the moment you leave it is an incredible experience. I was in a food coma at the end of the night. The staff is amazing, you can tell they all really care and show great hospitality, very personal and attentive. The restaurant owner came to the table to make sure the food was perfect. She is so sweet. I highly recommend this restaurant as it is by far one of the best in Vail.

A good choice for a French restaurant in Vail. A combination of salty and sweet flavors from the selected dishes, the first course "Truffle French Onion Soup" was very tasty. For the main course, we ordered three of the options, and they were all really good: "Five Spice Crispy Duck Breast," "Heluka Pork Chop," and "Pan Roasted Organic Scottish Salmon." To top it off, the dessert "Profiteroles with Armagnac Date Ice Cream." I congratulate the waiter Gustavo, who served us with great courtesy and kindness

Elegant upscale restaurant offering exquisite French-American cuisine, an extended wine list, outstanding service and cozy ambience. Generous portions, so we alway shared an appetizer and an entree.

My wife reserved this restaurant hoping to give us an enjoyable dinner however it did not turn out that way. The second we walked in the restaurant the atmosphere and decorations did not match the price and that was a common theme during our dinner. For the price we paid the service did not match it whatsoever our server was rude and wanted to finish quickly with our orders and was pushing us to order food he wanted to get our order and leave quickly. He was very unfriendly and lack of customer service skills. The food was decent the appetizers were good especially the onion soup but the main course were average for the price they ask. Maybe your experience might be better but ours was very disappointing and unpleasant.

Went for my birthday. It started out well, staff was attentive and friendly. My friend had asked upon arrival for a small celebratory dessert to be brought out at the end to surprise me. Things started going downhill once the food arrived. First, our appetizer was incorrect, but no efforts were made to replace it. We got what we got apparently. We had ordered the shrimp cocktail and ended up with the sashimi. That being said it was the best part of the meal taste wise for me . The food was brought out so quickly we didn’t have time to finish, before our salads were served along WITH our entrees. Instead of spacing the timing of the cocktails, appetizers, salads and entrees everything just came out on top of each other. Also the entrees just came out so fast! Was pre prepared? Just waiting under hot lamps till someone chose ordered that item? Bc that’s exactly what I had thought. How did they have time to cook that, highly suspect. We were definitely feeling rushed. The food was a straight mid. Not terrible, but not knock my socks off either. I got the duck which is my favorite treat yourself meal. It was cooked well but the flavor just wasn’t really there and it wasn’t properly butchered as there was quite a bit of fat still attached. The potatoes were very very dry, overcooked (hot lamps?). Again, we were feeling rushed although there were plenty of tables available and open for new patrons. Our waiter kept coming to take our food before my friend was done with her meal. Several times. I indicated that my plates could be taken, but they weren’t. We we’re hurriedly given dessert menus, but at that point we just felt that we’re done. I didn’t want to linger as the whole thing was just felt so rushed and we couldn’t just sit and chat and enjoy the meal. We were hoping for a high end dining experience that we could take our time enjoying each other and the meal. That is not what happened. My celebration dessert was never brought out and that disappointed my friend whom had arranged it.

Food was ok, my party of 9 was a mix of reviews. Some plates were ok others were good. Service was not on point, even with a reservation our food took a very long time, also the waiters i felt are not in line with a French restaurant experience, they expect the big tips but not top notch.

Sadly we didn't enjoy this spot at all. Started with the bread service which was passable. Bread wasn't very fresh which wound up becoming the theme of the meal. Warning signs should've been flashing at this point.

For apps we did the French Onion Soup and the Gnocchi which we really enjoyed. Positive step!

Entree is where it truly fell apart. The Cod was awful. The fish was well cooked but the flavor was all off with a stale taste, no miso to be found, oddly sweet. The accompanying seaweed salad had an off, fishy flavor.

Service was pretty transactional and stiff. We order a bottle of wine, should've been a fun experience at a French restaurant, but the Somme's service was perfunctory at best. Our waitress was rushed, but good. Clearly a "get people in and out as fast as possible" resort village spot.

Not worth the price of admission.

My boyfriend is a seasonal Vail resident, he had dined at La Tour years ago and knows I love French Cuisine.

Hostess was extremely warm and welcoming. It was dumping snow and our timing was off, she accommodated the reservation change.

I'd go into a more detailed food review but it doesn't matter because the night was ruined within the first 10 minutes. I do not drink, I can't be the only sober person in Vail. We ordered our meals and my boyfriend ordered a glass of wine. I said I'd like something non-alcoholic but tasty. The waiter said he could "bring me the kids menu".
My bf asked if I wanted to leave but we were already there & hungry.

I don't think I need to write anything further. They offered a $35 gift card we could pick up but I was flying out the next day.
