if you like small portions and a menu that has to be explained with excessive prices, this is the place for you. The sunset was beautiful as was the facility, but the food lacking. We ate at Zack's Cabin the night before which was superb and the Little Dinner the next day. Both far exceeded Game Creek in taste, portions,... More

even arriving there is fun, you take the lionshead gondola, at least 20 min. before your reservation, going up at night gives you a very nice view of the lighted town, the recieve you and then you take a 7 min. ride in a type of bobcat truck (the inside is warm and comfortable) the service is probably the best...

Fantastic experience for the family! Evening gondola up the mountain, then a ten minute snowcat to the restaurant. Phenonmenal service. Great 3-,4-, and 5-course tasting menus. Even the kids had a 3-course meal w/ Tomato soup (w/ grilled cheese sandwiches), filet, and three flavors of profiteroles. The adult wine menu and variety of selections for each course were also excellent.... More

I love to find experiences unique to a place that I'm visiting, and dinner at Game Creek fit that bill. We rode the Eagle Bahn gondola up from Lionshead at Vail, and then boarded a Sno-Cat for a ride to the Game Creek Club. The enclosed Sno-Cat fit about 10 people in the back, though we had it to ourselves.... More

I waited 10 years to visit Game Creek. My husband and I first traveled to Vail when we were both still in high school, and made a visit a priority on our 1st trip back since. The gondola ride at night was pretty (however, remember that with a multi-day pass, you can take it up, anyway). I would have preferred... More

You take the gondola followed by a posh snow cat ride to get there. It was nighttime so we want to go back someday to see the view at sunset. You choose the number of courses from a chefs menu and we opted for the wine pairing as well. My husband and I chose different things so we could experience... More

We had a fantastic time at the Game Creek restaurant. Going up in the gondola at night and then getting the snowcat is just a bit special, and does make you feel like a VIP. The food itself was superb. They felt the need to tell us beforehand that the portions were small - in fact they were pretty much... More

We went to GC with a large group, including MANY kids between 4-18. EVERYONE loved it. They make it just as special for the little kids as they do the adults. You can't go wrong. From the snowcat ride up to the ambiance, it is simply perfect!

We went to a number of the "top" restaurants in Vail and this was the best meal. Others have written of the trip to/from the restaurant which is great, but the food was fantastic.

We had a little problem with our reservation - they had our email wrong so we didn't get a confirmation and then when we called back they had the name and number of people wrong and still had the name wrong when we arrived but we were glad to get the reservation. The gondola ride up the mountain was beautiful... More
