This is the place East Vail needed. Great food & drinks and atmosphere, and the service was awesome as well! The pizzas are especially delicious, but everything is stellar. It’s amazing to have a new spot in East Vail and I couldn’t be happier for the owners!

After our first dinner service there, and certainly not our last, we have absolutely no doubt as to what all the buzz is about around the new Apres Cafe at the Raquet Club in East Vail. A massive congratulations to Chef Michael Ianniello, and to all of the wonderful people involved in opening this fantastic nook of a spot nestled in the depths of the Narnia-like mountain fantasyland that East Vail truly is. Seeing it so lively on a Thursday during a dinner rush during it's first two months of being open, and hearing the constant chatter, and that is no exaggeration, amongst the many tables around us, as well as seeing the smiling faces and full bellies all around was a true pleasure. The service staff was absolutely fantastic as well, and offered plenty of recommendations all with sincerity and a smile. And the meal? Well, it's beyond words, but pictures might aaalmost do it justice. A beautiful orchestration of incredible combinations of flavor in each different course made for an incredibly exciting and enjoyable meal. I cannot enough express how much of a pleasure it is to see the people I love most in life flourishing in their passions, and having an opportunity to share and appreciate their art and skill with other loved ones, but please do yourself a favor and stop by the Apres Cafe to treat yourself whenever you have a moment. Because as Mike always says, "Only the best for the best of people," and when you're in his dining room, you're always the best of people, and you're truly in for a treat. Thank you, Apres Cafe and keep killing it. I can't wait to see where this place goes!

What a wonderful experience my wife and I had. The atmosphere is delightful, the service was tentative and genuine and the food was outstanding. We enjoyed the Truffle Parmesan Fries that were dynamite and a Pepperoni & Sausage Pizza that was fresh, crisp and delicious. By far the best place we have eaten at during our time here in Vail!
