More expensive and half as good as Michelin star restaurants I've been to. $600 for 3 people to eat soup, salad, and steak.

Food was above average. Tenderloin came out barely warm. Maybe because it’s “Vail” a place can charge $200/person for this menu but it certainly isn’t worth it. There’s nothing that makes this place twice as much as other restaurants in the Village or Lionshead. My advice, skip Leonora, eat somewhere else and save $100/person.

Honestly the service was subpar, with lack of knowledge of their own food or wine. There was missing menus, silverware, and the waitress forgot our wine pairing. The beef tenderloin on the Christmas ment was mediocre and burnt. Many people in our party felt ill after dining here. Very unfortunate.

It was an odd dinner. The staff didn’t quite know what they were doing but they were trying very hard. Maybe they will get the kinks worked out as the season goes on.

It was clear that the servers were caught off guard and had no idea we had a reservation when we arrived. Then after we were seated we found out they were out of pancakes, which caused us to need to leave the restaurant since many of the young kids in our party were planning on eating pancakes. This ruined my wife’s birthday brunch. The server did not apologize. Luckily the manager did apologize right before we left and explained that they didn’t receive the ingredients for the pancakes due to the snowstorm.

It was a peaceful Saturday morning breakfast. While the food was decent, the service fell short of expectations—acceptable, but not quite up to the standard one might anticipate from a resort of this caliber. The stunning grounds, however, provide a beautiful backdrop, though the kitchen could use some fine-tuning.
