Kelly Liken - Vail

During our meal, two dishes really impressed us: the vegetarian risotto and an incredible bass dish—truly one of the best fish dishes I’ve ever tasted. In short, if you're in the area and looking for exceptional cuisine, Kelly Liken is the spot to try. If you decide on another restaurant that falls short, you’ll only have yourself to blame.

Before the winter rush, we visited this restaurant and took advantage of an amazing offer: 50% off the entire menu, including drinks, a wide selection of wines, appetizers, and main courses. This generous discount allowed us to try a variety of dishes. Just before our appetizer arrived, we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary taste of the soup of the day. The menu changes with the seasons, and we decided to start with the pork belly as our appetizer. For our main courses, we chose the lamb shank and the braised beef, both of which were expertly prepared. Each dish was paired with a different wine that perfectly enhanced the flavors. To round off our meal, we enjoyed a small selection of desserts, which felt like a lovely farewell gesture. When it was time to leave, we were thrilled to find our car ready and waiting right outside the door, as the valet had anticipated our departure. I have never experienced such exceptional attentiveness to guest satisfaction at any other restaurant.
