Locals recommended and the were right on. Right on the river, beautiful views, great food and great service. We went for lunch and heard their specialty was braised short ribs over gouda mac and cheese, but it wasn't on the lunch menu. Our server went and asked the chef and he made it for us special and wow! Melts in...

You never know what you are going to get in Vail, but my husband and I had dinner at Up the Creek last week and we were very pleased with the food and the service.
He started with the Truffle Fries which I had heard were great and indeed they are delicious. It's a huge portion and very rich, but...

The river view is great and so is the food. I love their lamb chops. Even when the place is busy, the service is good.

I have eaten at Up the Creek probably 7 times in 10 years. It was always a stable, consistent meal with a great view. Not this year.

This is a very good restaurant it our go to place, always busy. Food is imaginative and well prepared. Not cheap but not a rip off. Anything from special or menu lunch or dinner. View on the Gore creek is relaxing.

We heard about the great game meat they offered and thought we should give it a try and pair it with some excellent Carte Blanc Vineyards wine. We were blown away by the fantastic service and the unbelievable choices that the menu offered. Two of...

We had a lovely meal here, but I felt it was a little pricey for what was decent, although not knock-your-socks-off food. I had elk, a first for me, which was beautifully cooked, but it was served with a risotto which was very rich, I simply couldn't finish it. The portions were unnecessarily large - not a substitute for quality...
