    The Spanish Octopus and Iberian Duroc Pork were simply divine. The Whipped Feta was a novelty but at the end of the day, it was just a lump of feta cheese and can be missed. The Sticky Toffee Pudding cake was delicious but a little too sweet for my taste. All of the food were presented beautifully. As for the service, it was prompt and attentive. However, I didn't like the fact that the restaurant added a 3% surcharge to the bill for "staff pay". That seemed cheesy. I would have preferred that 3% to be included in the menu prices instead of a separate line item. Overall, I would still recommend Sweet Basil for special occasions.

    It is a fun Italian eatery with reasonable-for-Aspen pricing, excellent food, and attentive, upbeat staff. Lots of laughter and fun. I regularly go when in Aspen. Nice place with post-ski to semi-nice clothing. Hoping for more Vegan options in the future.
