In my opinion, Sweet Basil is by far the best restaurant Vail has to offer. Excellent food, great menu, fun atmosphere, and good service. more

My husband and I dined here on Christmas Eve and loved the food and ambience. Both the salad and crab appetizer had great complexity of taste. The duck served with foie gras ravioli and dates was exquisite and filet was great. This was the best service we had in Vail as far as skill and knowledge. more

I did not dine here, so I can't vouch for the cuisine. I only had a couple of martinis at the bar, but they were some of the best martinis I've ever had. Also, the ambiance of the place was very nice. more

Brunch this morning was amazing. YOU MUST get that beet salad. It comes on a cool wooden board with fabulous cheese. We also shared the lamb benedict which was great. This place never disappoints more

I would highly recommend this restaurant. The staff was very professional, knowledgible and attentive. The food was excellent. We went back several times after being disappointed at so many other places. Don't go to Pepi's! more

I have to start with dessert. After years of having Sticky Toffee Pudding in numerous restaurants in England, I have finally found a USA star! It was moist, warm, gooey and devoured. It topped off a delicious lunch. I had the mixed seafood which had a wonderful blend of flavors. My husband savored his chicken, apricot salad. Unlike some of... more

My friend and I ate at the restaurant the evening of Oct 20, 2009 while staying in Vail. It was one of a limited open-recommended by our hotel. My fiend got food poisoning from her dish-halibut. I contacted the restaurant and spoke to a manager and she called me back after speaking to the Chef and said sorry. Did not... more

Just came back from a long weekend in Vail - Sweet Basil was highly recommended by many on this site. It is definitely one of the "top restaurants" in Vail. Food is excellent, service is professional and friendly. more

We have been going to Sweet Basil for 10 years on a regular basis as we live in Colorado and spend a lot of time in Vail. We have always liked the scene there, the food not so much. Yesterday we were here for Oktoberfest and wanted to sit out on the patio (which was empty at that time) at... more
