From the creators of Sweet Basil in Vail Colorado comes a fresh, innovative new restaurant opening December 2012. Aptly named Mountain Standard, this rustic and relaxed tavern aims to set a new standard in the Vail valley by using an ancient form of cooking.The majority of Mountain Standard’s menu will be prepared via the most primal cooking method: over an open and live wood fire. The only restaurant in the valley to devote themselves to this age-old way of cooking, the food at this exciting new restaurant will have rustic, bold and honest flavors, focusing on the purest ingredients in the Rocky Mountain region and beyond.Service, like the cuisine, will have that perfect balance of providing a first class dining experience with a more casual vibe. There is no smoke and mirrors here - no fuss - just simple, honest, from the heart service and cooking. The beauty of the creek side location is mirrored by the high energy vibe of this dynamic restaurant.

    We came away from a Christmas dinner here truly wowed. The friendly server named Jamoy took us through the menu with care, providing his recommendations. We started the evening with cocktails, well-balanced and refined. The biscuit was as hands down one of the best things I’ve ever tasted! The pimento cheese was savoury and delicious. The tuna tataki was fresh and delicate. And the wood grilled pork chop was nothing short of a piece de resistance! This menu was inventive beyond expectation. The melange of flavours put this place near the top of the heap in all of Colorado, in my humble opinion. I can’t wait to come back. Gratitude to the chef, servers, and other staff who made this such a delightful experience.

    We ate at Leonora for Christmas Dinner, and it was really good. The steaks were cooked as requested, the prix fixe menu had the right options for our party of 8. Our server was really sweet and ensured we had a good experience from beginning to end. This was our second time at Leonora - we’ll come the next time we’re in town.
