We go to the Vail/Beaver Creek area often. The best meals we have ever had there were at Splendido in BC. The crab cake appetizer is excellent and I say that growing up eating lump crab meat. Their souffle is great also, especially the lemon-huckleberry. Other restaurants of note in BC are the Grouse Mountain Grill and Mirabelles. When in Vail we go to LaTour and Sweet Basil.
