Alpine and Antlers — Restaurant in Beaver Creek

We were staying at the hotel and decided as this restaurant was open (limited hours in Sept/Oct), we'd give it a try.

Seated immediately as literally only 3 other people sat at the bar. They had a QR code for the menu but also gave us a physical drink and food menu. Asking the host (who was also our server) for the cocktail "cosmogroni" that was not on the physical one but was on the QR code and online menu, he said he would ask the bartender. Came back to state that no he couldn't make that as he was "missing the ingredients", despite it clearly being a fully stocked bar! So my dinner guest asked what ingredients he was missing because actually he liked the idea of an aperol spritz. Again our friendly, professional server/host went back to the bar and relayed our question. We clearly upset him with him this request as he dramatically tore off his face mask and threw it across the bar. He picked up a menu gesturing how he didn't know how to make it and proceeded to start pouring something in a shaker aggressively. We decided to leave at that point both alarmed and shocked at this childish behavior from a grown man.

Tip for the bartender- if you only want to open a can of ipa or a bottle of wine, don't work in a bar where there are cocktails on the menu. Maybe learn to control your anger in front of the only 5 guests that were trying to enjoy a night out. Because your behavior was not professional or even warranted. Leave your issues at the door and don't bring it into work. Re think your career in hotel F&B as maybe something not guest facing would suit you better!

Can't comment on the quality of the food or even the cocktails! But giving this establishment 1 star for the bartenders appalling behavior. Beaver Creek Lodge should hire better staff. We won't return to even give it a...

I joined my wife and sister for lunch at the Alpine + Antlers restaurant in the Beaver Creek Lodge on my last visit to Colorado. We started with the Saganaki. It came out to the table sizzling in a black iron skillet, then set on fire with brandy, and doused with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon. We spread the molten cheese over the crusty bread provided and indulged. We were all soon quickly clamoring for the last bits. I don’t usually eat seafood when not on the coast, but I tried their BBQ oysters. They were incredible, on the half shell, roasted with butter, bacon, and Parmesan. I wanted to try the Short Rib Grilled Cheese, which sounds incredible, but the fact that I already had quite a bit of cheese already, I opted for the Lobster Roll instead. Even though the restaurant was 1,800 miles from where they catch them, I was not disappointed. A plethora of perfectly cooked lobster chunks spilling out of a butter toasted bun with shredded romaine and tarragon mayonnaise. The roll came with these perfectly cooked French fries with this amazing savory seasoning. We also shared the Cauliflower gnocchi served with fava beans, glazed carrot, Meyer lemon reduction, and dried black olive dust; sublime. I think most folks and I don’t like to take a lot of time eating lunch, our waiter read us well and the service was attentive and swift, but could have been long and leisurely if so desired. What amazed me the most is how unique the menu was, nothing like the fair of other restaurants in the area. If your ever around Vail, I recommend you check this place out. I can’t wait to...

Not a place for big groups during the week. While the food was very solid and atmosphere everything you could ask for in a Beaver Creek upscale restaurant, the service was very disappointing. We were a group of 15 on a Monday night during ski season, meeting for our annual 'industry wide' ski trip. We had booked our reservation well in advance so the restaurant knew we would be attending. We did not see a drink other than water (we all ordered alcohol) at our table for 45 minutes. Apps came our roughly 1.25-1.5 hours into our reservation, followed by entrees at about just under the 2 hour mark. Our tab was split evenly by 4 credit cards but yet somehow only one card got charged and we spent considerable time on the phone that night with the establishment attempting to rectify this situation. Gratuity was automatically added, which normally makes sense for a party so large, but should've been up to the discretion of the parties paying considering the situation. While the wait staff was for the most part quick and kind, some disconnect between the bar, kitchen, and table was clearly evident and disappointing to our guests. I recommend that this establishment not seat a party they are unable to adequately serve and that anyone looking to host a group here should...
