Sweet Basil in Vail stands out with "superb food" and "great service." A must-visit for creative dishes like the French Onion Lasagna and "amazing" whipped feta. Though reservations are essential, the "beautiful ambiance" and "expertly prepared" cuisine, including standout cocktails, make it "worth every penny."

    Service was wonderful, we were seated quickly and had a fabulous table however the menu was a little limited and we didn’t love anything we ordered. Nothing was bad but nothing we would come back for. The portions were tiny and it was very pricey…for reference we went to Russell’s the night before and ordered so much more food and a bottle of wine and it was the same price as our dinner here and we only ordered one cocktail. It was okay but again, not somewhere we will be going out of our way to come again.

    Wife’s birthday dinner at Sweet Basil was perfect. The staff seated us upon our arrival, even though we were 20 minutes early. The food and dessert were delicious. The staff even personalized my wife’s dessert with a happy birthday sign. I highly recommend visiting if you find yourself in Vail.

    Lovely restaurant. And great ambiance. Ordered 2 roasted duck dishes. Very tasty, but very small for the price. One order of the pork dish, very tough meat. Not enjoyable at all. Probably the toughest meat I’ve eaten in a restaurant for the price tag. Steak tartar was amazing. French onion lasagna was so good. And we ended the evening with the cherry bomb dessert - decadent.
