About

Ridge + River Mountainside Kitchen is the dinner restaurant at Manor Vail Lodge, at the base of Golden Peak on Vail Valley Drive. It is between seasons right now: as of September 23, 2026, the lodge says regular dinner service is paused and that it looks forward to welcoming guests back this winter.

When it is open, it suits a slower evening: a modern mountain dining room of warm wood and soft light, with a menu of thoughtful cuts and seasonal sides and a wine list chosen for pairing. It works well for lodge guests and anyone staying on the quieter Golden Peak side of Vail Village.

Seasonal schedule

Ridge + River paused regular dinners this summer. Instead, in summer 2026 the room hosted The Overture, a ticketed pre-concert dinner on Bravo! Vail concert evenings, along with private events and celebrations. The lodge had not posted a winter reopening date or hours when we checked, so confirm on the lodge's dining page or OpenTable before planning around it.

The menu

The most recent posted menu, for winter 2025-26, leaned on Colorado game and produce: Rocky Mountain bison tartare, an elk sausage flatbread, a Colorado cheese fondue with Haystack Mountain chèvre, Colorado trout and a red wine-braised bison short rib, alongside steak frites and handmade pastas. Desserts come with suggested dessert-wine pairings. Expect the menu to change for the new season.

Location

Manor Vail Lodge sits at 595 Vail Valley Drive, a short walk from the Golden Peak lifts and about five minutes on foot from Gondola One, with the Gerald Ford Amphitheater and Betty Ford Alpine Gardens close by. Diners who drive can ask the lodge about parking in its lot.

Private dining

Ridge + River can be booked for private dinners with a customized menu from the lodge's executive chef, and Manor Vail offers other private rooms for groups of 16 to 64, which makes it a practical choice for rehearsal dinners and family celebrations.

At Manor Vail Lodge

Ridge + River is one of the lodge's two restaurants. The Fitz is the lodge's everyday bar and restaurant, open daily with creek and mountain views, comfort food and a daily happy hour; it is the family-friendly choice and the one to pick while Ridge + River is paused. BioMed Spa Vail is the spa at the lodge. The lodge's own listing covers the rooms, parking and events.
