Waiting area was very small, food/presentation very good overall, restaurant temperature was cold, service was very good from all but our main server. She was very busy we noticed when we came in, but didn’t feel we were given good service overall.

I dined at Sweet Basil recently, and while the overall experience had its highs, it was somewhat marred by inconsistent service. The bartender was noticeably unenthusiastic; it felt like he was not happy to be there, which reflected in his lack of attentiveness. This somewhat dampened the start of our evening. On a brighter note, our server was fantastic. She was knowledgeable about the menu, explaining each dish and dessert with enthusiasm, which made up for some of the earlier disappointment. Regarding the food, the dishes were good but didn't leave a lasting impression. They were executed well but lacked that special touch to make them memorable. However, the desserts were a highlight - their presentation was excellent, almost art-like, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, a decent meal with room for improvement, particularly in the bar service department.

I've been going to Sweet Basil for 15 years. Food is still delicious. Service is atrocious, truly the worst service in vail at lunch time. Rude staff got multiple things in our order wrong (missing dishes, extra stuff we didn't order), was unapologetic and rude about their mistakes.
