Fall Line Kitchen & Cocktails

We went here based on a recommendation from our friends. The place from the outside has a more casual and vibrant vibe with a few tables on the patio but once instead it definitely was trying to be more of a fancy, upscale restaurant. Frankly it felt like the place was unsure of what it wanted to be. Unfortunately they only do one vegan option which is the chef's choice every night. We were told there wasn't an option the night we went. Maybe the waiter was mistaken? For a modern American fare, it would have been nice to see more vegan/vegetarian options on the menu. But this is a challenge overall in Vail so I don't fault them too heavily. The cocktails were good but that's all we had. I can see it being a good option for a date night without spending an arm and a leg in Vail, but it just wasn't the spot for us. And this might be nitpicking but the manager was not happy we brought our daughter's stroller through the restaurant. We would have happily kept it at the front door had the hostess not told us to bring it through as there's a place in back for it. Vail is a family forward town and I would have expected a bit more courtesy vs. annoyance.

I would recommend avoiding this eatery. Prices were VERY high ($27 for a rather ordinary burger- no fries included). There are a host of other restaurants in Vail Village that have equal quality food at half the price. Too many other places to eat in the Village with reasonable prices and smiling staff.

Delicious! The staff are super friendly and the food is unique and tasty. The cheese board was the best I have ever had. They are also short staffed, but make up for it with lots of attention and friendliness. By far my favorite place to eat in Vail. It is expensive, but the price is easily reflected in the quality of food and service.

It’s a very boogie place to eat dinner. The food tasted great - I had the elk steak, which had a coffee brown sugar crust on it. I also got the Caesar salad, but the beet salad was actually the better tasting salad. My only complaint would be the sommelier, who was overly aggressive in upselling us on wine and then pouring large servings so we’d buy a second bottle - these behaviors tend to break down the customer-restaurant relationship. In all, it was a great dinner. Worth it for nearly $200/person? That’s debatable.

I’m sure this restaurant is just fine with food selection and all, but my family and I will never try. Today I found a phone on the bench outside their restaurant (as a phone owner it would be the first place I looked). I took it to the host stand and the matter was treated as such an annoyance from the owner. Her approach could have been friendlier, but alas I took care of finding a safe place for this person’s phone. Seen other reviews stating how uppity the owner is and I will agree first hand.
