    Unfortunately, we had a pretty bad experience. Despite understanding that it is early season and the staff is probably new, they seemed completely confused about orders, timing, and overall, service was terrible. The food came out very slowly, (over 2 hrs) even though it was an early lunch and 2/3rds of the tables were empty. One of our tickets got lost, which meant we all got our food at different times, some were very undercooked because they were rushing. We were still waiting for our last plate, and after over 15 minutes of waiting, we had to get up to find a waiter to help us. No one checked on us or asked how our food was, and after everything, they brought the check and never apologized for the mix-up. As locals, there are much better restaurants to spend your money at and better value. We sadly will not be going back.

    The food was amazing. But the vibe and service was mid considering it’s a Michelin star restaurant. I’m sure there are better overall restaurants in Vail.

    Over and over again the food and experience at Sweet Basil is amazing. The winter menu is really great. We enjoyed every bite. The meat was cooked perfectly. The desserts made us want to lick the plate. Our server was awesome and brought joy to our meal.

    We had the earliest reservation after the renovation shutdown (which made us happy as a meal at Sweet Basil is an essential part of our anniversary weekend)! No glitches, amazing delicious food and warm friendly service

    Excellent service at the bar. Wine selection was vast, something for everyone. Tuna Tartar and French Onion Lasagne were fantastic!
