Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
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."

    Amazing food. It exceeded our expectations. We almost skipped dessert and are so glad we didn’t. The lemon basil sorbet was DELICIOUS. we also got the cherry bomb and hazelnut pudding cake which were a 10/10 too. Will absolutely be coming back every time we visit 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.

    Waitress tried to take our order within 5 min of sitting down and 3 more times before we ordered wine. Also appetizer was 11/10 (least order potato one) but my lamb chops were not that tender and just 7/10. Disappointed as I had a great meal at this restaurant a few years ago. What was nice is ambiance, well spaced tables, low noise level.

    Five of us, and everyone’s food came out cold. Taste was great. But for sweet Basil, and the price this shouldn’t happen.
