This was my first time in Vail so being a tourist I suppose you should take my post with a grain of salt.

The restaurant was very nice and the view was incredible. Their drink selection isn't shabby but the waitress not only brought me the wrong drink which I ended up accepting. Then she forgot bring out my orange which I had requested when she had given me the incorrect drink. Not a huge deal/

The food is a bit pricey but with a view like Tavern on the Square it can definitely be expected. The calamari was alright, large thick slices instead of baby calamari, the breading wasn't season very well, the sauce was good, but the calamari was just the rings. Besides that the chili's temperature was only warm instead of hot. I'm obviously not expecting scalding hot chili but hot enough to keep it's temperature in the cold weather. The flavor was mediocre to be honest, I was expecting a bit more.

This place also preauthorized my credit card twice, leaving me with three charges, and when I called to ask a manager about this I had to call back three times to get a straight answer after being promised a call back twice. About 6 hours past total and no response back, finally the third time I called the managers had everything figured out but for whatever reason had yet to call me back.

Regardless of how pessimistic my post may sound the entire experience wasn't terrible, but I probably wouldn't go back. I can see how others may like Tavern on the Square and perhaps I didn't order their better dishes and came on an off day. I wouldn't say to avoid this place but don't expect this to be the end all be all. In my opinion you may the price premium for it's view and location, so if that's what you're looking for Tavern on the Square is the place for you.
