Wild Pine Kitchen Bar

I don’t understand the lower ratings for this place. We had a great experience. Service was attentive and they were able to accommodate a special request. Menu had lots to offer and the food was delicious. Unlike some other restaurants at the resort, portions were generous. And Tipsy Tuesday offers 2 for 1 wine by the glass with generous pours. Please give them a try. You won’t be sorry!

Great food. Excellent service. Poke bowl and chicken were both great as were the Brussel sprouts

Delightful hidden treat at Northstar. You exit the loud crowded ice skating area and this little gem is quiet and clean and spacious enough for privacy. Just what me family needed after a big day on the slops. The kids menu was 15 each which is reasonable to me with a fruit side and cookie. We really loves the salmon and risotto. Very high quality ingredients and well balanced and thought out. I got a fun cocktail called the peppermint dude which delighted and wasn’t too sweet. We booked again for tomorrow. We usually go to the other big restaurant which is fun but this was the calm quiet fine dining but kid friendly experience we so needed but didn’t expect.

Our visit to Wild Pine in Northstar was great. The tacos and wings were exceptional, with fresh ingredients and a perfect balance of flavors. Eric, the bartender, added a special touch with his excellent service and accommodating nature. The wings were crispy and flavorful and Eric's expertise and friendly demeanor enhanced our dining experience. The cozy ambiance of Wild Pine made it a perfect setting for a casual evening. If you're in Northstar, Wild Pine is a must-visit for a combination of mouthwatering dishes and outstanding service.

Felt bad for the workers. Understaffed and took over an hour to get a table. On a holiday weekend such a lost opportunity for this business. Must be bleeding revenue. Sitting with empty tables but no staff to turn them and keep the service going. Food was good once we got it. Over 2.5 hours to get lunch. Add more staff to help!

So the food is good and about the price you expect for the area. Drinks were well made. The only down side is the atmosphere is like an amusement park restaurant. So very family style but like not as nice.

The restaurant has a great location and offers classic American food. Overall, the experience was good, but there were a few distractions. The food was just okay—nothing bad, but nothing memorable either. One issue was dishes being paraded across the dining aisle, which took away from the dining atmosphere. Also, service could be improved; staff assisting on the floor should be able to perform full waiter duties to keep things running smoothly. Overall, it’s a decent place, but the distractions from non-essential tasks affected the experience.

Dirty silverware and napkins. Went to lunch at 1:30 and at 2:20, still sitting with water and no food. Server appeared once in 45 mins. My "pancetta" on my salad was overcooked bacon. The pork sandwich with caramelized onions had a mini piece of meat and uncooked onions. Would not recommend.

Why would this restaurant charge $40 for a rotisserie chicken when you can get it for five dollars at Costco. Vail, please use your common sense and make some good food that people will want to eat and is reasonable and they don’t feel like they’re getting ripped off. We want the restaurants at Northstar to be successful. There was 2 tables eating at the restaurant tonight. please change your menu.

Terrible experience. Supposedly open till 9 pm, showed up at 6:45. Only 4 appetizer fried items available, so basically no dinner service at all. Bring your own food if your staying at Northstar....

Showed up for dinner at 645. We were told the kitchen is only serving French fries and a few other fried appetizers. Website says they are open til 9 but there were ready to shut their doors at 645. Very rude about it as well. Mad we showed up. I would never go there again

Went to dinner's with my wife and friend at 6:45. They told us to hurry and order the kitchen was closing only fried food available. Which consisted of french fries or fried brussels sprouts. Ridiculous they say they're open until nine.

If you want to visit a restaurant with slow service, long wait times, yet empty and un-bussed tables..this is the place for you. Hear for lunch on a Friday ski day and I am convinced the owners/managers believe servicing customers is a burden... if you want better attention..sit at the bar...

Everything was off… staff was disengaged, food was bad, our order was totally wrong and the whole place in state of neglect and disarray. Dry chicken, inedible bok choy, staff hanging at the bar with boyfriend… just a mess. Even in Northstar it is not possible to get a worse value for your $50 a person. Anyplace in the village is better.

This place is dumb. Went in because of their sign suggesting a 'happy hour'. This just meant their $23 wings, were $22. Cool bro, why bother. Then I ordered their $28 chicken sandwich which was chicken tenders on a bun and they charged me an extra $4 to sub fries with a small (gross, inedible) side salad. All with a sorry/not sorry attitude. Please avoid this business so it can be put out of its misery

Absolutely disgusting and disappointing, food was unbelievably bad. We had a family of 5, 2 adults 3 kids and EVERYONES food was honestly horrible. This place could be so good, the entire menu and kitchen situation is embarrassing. Overpriced and a waste of space ! AVOID AT ALL COSTS

All these one star reviews aren’t wrong. I was excited to eat there but after being abandoned at a table for over half an hour, we got up and left. Nobody came by to check in, take any drink or food orders, or give the “I’ll be right with you” statement.

Walked out - 7:30 peak holiday season - only half the tables were occupied, the other half not cleared, with food scraps and dirty dishes everywhere. The place is a mess. Then we sat down and half the items on the menu they were out of: Prime rib - out, sundried tomato penne - out, wings - out. Chicken - limited, not for everyone in the party. IPA - out. We walked out. Across the rink, Rubicon was packed, and dinner was delicious. Different management?
