"Westside Cafe" Vail, CO.

My new favorite place for apres/happy hour if you're not living in a pretentious ski town, is Westside.
I believe everyone is familiar with their epic bloodies and truffle fries but they also have outstanding beef carpachio and amazing eggs benedict.
The breakfast comes in a multitude of benedicty varieties, including crab cake eggs benedict. The carpachio is pounded thin and topped with arugula tossed in truffle oil, fried capers, shaved parmesan and some kind of herb cream dressing that indices foodgasms.
Service is great, ambiance relaxed and it's always spotless. My only complaints are that the restroom is not actually in the restaurant and that they are a little lenient with the intoxication levels of their regulars.

All in all, four and a half shiny objects!
