    Hands down BEST MEAL we have ever had! Oysters with the pineapple vinaigrette, Serrano, and curd were AMAZING! French onion lasagna appetizer was one of the best tasting appetizers- delicious caramelized onions. Colorado Rack of Lamb entree cooked to perfection! Tender and so full of flavor! We have traveled to some 5 star destinations and have visited 5 star restaurants and this was hands down the best food and dining experiences we have ever had!

    The food was spectacular per usual!! The entire staff was extremely accommodating! We were a challenging crew with several families with kiddos and they made us feel completely welcome! Special thanks to Meg, Kaley, and our other amazing waitress but I can’t remember her name! 🙈

    Everything was wonderful, service and food. Whipped feta, octopus ragu and sticky toffee cake were my favorites!

    Food was expensive & honestly not worth it. Sweet Basil has been on our Vail restaurant list year after year for many years. I think we all agree it’s no longer a must in Vail. We are accustomed to expensive entrees but $85 for two lamb chops is criminal. The rest of the entrees and drinks were just adequate.

    For this price point one would expect flavorful rack of lamb that was subpar. The staff and restaurant are amazing. The ambiance was fantastic. Food was mediocre.

    Overall...we were disappointed. The whipped feta and onion lasagna were both really good with strong and interesting flavors, and the service was lovely. However, the broccoli on my beef and broccoli was too salty to eat, and the beef, while cooked well, was flavorless. My husband's pork chop entree was more than 50% fat. He literally had to go to the bathroom at one point to spit it out. I was really excited to dine at this Michelin star restaurant, but this wasn't the experience we were hoping for.
