Fine Dining Servers on Vail Mountain exemplify guest service excellence and have a commitment to exceeding guests' expectations.  Menu knowledge, wine knowledge, executing service with high Vail Mountain Fine Dining service standards, having an interactive rapport with guests, and having a dedicated work ethic while working in a fast-paced and high end environment are skill assets that we seek within our staffs.  Applicants may be considered for either The 10th, Vail's critically acclaimed on-mountain fine-dining restaurant, or Game Creek Restaurant, a members-only private lunch restaurant with a prix-fixe multi-course dinner open to the public.   

 

Nestled just below Eagle's Nest and just above the Game Creek chair lift, Game Creek Restaurant is a truly unique location where guests can enjoy a gourmet dinner and an exceptional dining experience while overlooking the beautiful Game Creek Bowl. Game Creek Restaurant is open 7 days a week for a private Club luncheon, open exclusively for Game Creek Club members, and offers delectable, five-star, distinctive American cuisine.  Receiving the Best Of Award of Excellence, the culinary experience is complimented by an award-winning wine list and superior service. This breathtaking European chalet-style restaurant is accessible as ski in/ski out for lunch or by gondola and snow cat for dinner.

 

The 10th serves an upscale sit-down lunch daily, complete with a boot room for guests to enjoy slippers while they dine!  Located at the top of Gondola One at Mid-Vail, The 10th is accessed either by ski-in and ski-out during the day or via Vail’s brand new high tech Gondola One.  Modern.
