Love the location of this restaurant. Hugging by the river and opens up to a beautiful ground that’s perfect for kids to run around. Depends on your preference, you can be at the place that feels like so secluded or in the middle of all actions.

Came in for lunch. Great views of the creek and if you can get an outside seat during hours where the sun is behind the buildings or trees then I’d recommend sitting outside if you can.

We stopped by to have lunch. Good place to eat outside (we had our dog). Only had to wait for a few minutes to get a patio table. Everyone was very friendly and the food was good too!

Very good food, a good friend recommended to me, otherwise I wouldn’t have known to go in. The look from the outside isn’t obvious that the food is so top notch. Great little spot in Vail village right on the creek. The dishes we got were the Beef Carpaccio and the Beef short rib with smoked Mac and Cheese. Very rich so I’m glad I shared this dish! Would pair nicely with a simple salad. We’ll be going back!

We love going to Up the Creek! Been here several times and every time the service and food is outstanding. I love that it’s a laid back vibe with a classy menu. Right next to the creek it’s always peaceful. The staff is always friendly and the service is quick. Here’s our favorite dishes (honestly you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!): scallops and prawns, mac & cheese, pork chop, elk, non fried calamari and the whipped butter with the dinner bread is so good!

Up the creek is a smaller restaurant that is located below another restaurant right by the creek. The atmosphere was nice and welcoming the bartender was helpful in letting up know we could basically seat ourselves. Our server was not the friendliest nor talkative or welcoming. But the food was at least great. We had the short rib with macaroni which was a great combo together. Overall a good experience would have been great if the service overall was worth what was paid.

This amazing combination of scallops, shrimp, brussel sprouts, mushrooms and parsnip hash ranks among the best dishes I have ever tasted ANYwhere. This alone is worth a trip to this restaurant. I highly recommend it.

One of our favorite restaurants in all of Eagle or Summit County! The best wings in the world are always baked, them flash fried, and served soaking wet…with blue cheese. Everyone trying something else can just stop- Up the Creek has is figured! And the service- simply the best.

Nice lunch menu with seating outside next to the creek. Service was good. Truffle fries were delicious and so was my salad.

The food was Great! They had the Best Buffalo wings. Exactly how I like them crispy and done. Sauced perfectly. My hubby had the burger and Ceasar salad. He said is was very good, great patty and toasted bun. Relaxed atmosphere. Sat at on the patio and watched kids play in the stream, also tubing down it. Very relaxing.
