The two reviews talking about “racist” and unable to get a seat with 6 people as a walk in have clearly never heard of a “reservation”. This is a small restaurant that almost never has room for walk ins. I’ve had to wait several times for a table as I don’t normally do reservations either. I frequent this restaurant and have loved it every time. The service is great and matches the vibe and pricing. I do think the tip machine starting with 25% as the suggestion for tipping is ridiculous, but you can always bypass it and do a custom tip. I’ll be back again soon! Cheers.

We stopped for lunch craving some onion soup (online menu not updated). The only soup available was tomato bisque - fresh and delicious. Very small portion though. We ordered fries x2. The other portion was over fried - almost burnt. Overall the fries with truffles were very good, not greasy at all. I ordered burrata salad - loved pesto sauce underneath - I’d rather have burrata in a room temperature than cold straight from the fridge (that’s how you cannot taste the creaminess). We also had a burger - didn’t take a pic. Pretty high quality of food, a bit pricey I’d say. A tiny bowl of soupfries1beer - 44. Salad was 28.

A wonder-filled time at Fall Line! We skied right into a dream of a dinner—starting with a round of fancy cocktails that deserve their own chairlift to fame. I floated away on the “Gone on a Purple Cloud,” while my crew got casually profound with a Colorado cream espresso martini and an old-fashioned that gave Buffalo Trace its best showing yet. The dry-aged Porch Chop (yes, you read that right—it’s what pork would be if it got its PhD) was pure savory perfection. We also cozied up with the beet salad (earthy and elegant), lasagna (layers of love), and crispy Brussels sprouts (bravo, brassica!). A final shot of espresso sent us off into the night with warm hearts and full bellies. Shoutout to our waitress Devon—a total gem who made our night pleasant. The historic ski photography gave us all the vintage Vail feels, and the busy corner view of Vail Village made the vibe feel just right—part postcard, part apres-ski party. Five stars from this snow-loving soul!

We picked this place randomly after hitting the slopes! We made in time for the lunch menu (before 3) my grilled cheese and soup was amazing! Also the PANNA COTTA dessert was REALLY good!

I love this place. When I want to enjoy a bottle of wine this is my top choice. I love the atmosphere and the service. You have to get the charcuterie board. Of course there will be a wait without a reservation. I find it impossible to believe that the diverse staff would discriminate against anyone. Margot and Alex behind the bar are the best

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time! Fall Line Kitchen & Cocktails exceeded expectations from start to finish. The ambiance is upscale yet welcoming, the staff was attentive and genuinely kind, and the food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish we ordered was full of flavor and beautifully presented — especially the [insert your favorite dish if you have one]. Their cocktails were creative and perfectly balanced too. Whether you’re going out for a date night, celebrating, or just treating yourself, this place delivers a memorable experience. Highly recommend!

Wow! What a great spot with very impressive menu. The wedge salad is state of the art! With quail eggs, thick cuts of bacon (more like fried pork belly) and loads of delicious blue cheese. Very savory and refreshing. It’s so big and filling, that we didn’t even come around to order an entree. Would definitely come back to try other things on the menu.

Excellent place for lunch! We were walking around looking for a place to grab a bite and after looking at their menu, this was the spot we picked. The service was great, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was awesome. We’ll definitely be coming back!
