    Megan was our waitress and she was a 12/10. We took every single recommendation she gave us and she did not miss a beat. Her level of hospitality and knowledge of the menu was exceptional and her spirit for good food and good service prevailed the whole meal. The food was absolutely mindblowning and the presentations were delightful. Would definitely come back.

    I was underwhelmed by our experience. Our appetizers were great but our entrees were not. We both got the beef and broccoli, one with filet and one with short rib. The sauce was entirely too salty. I was done after a few bites. The best part of the meal was def the dessert. That redeemed the meal at least.
    Sweet Basil - VailResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We're sorry to hear that the entrees didn’t meet your expectations, especially with the saltiness of the sauce. We truly value your input and will be sure to address this with the kitchen team. On a positive note, we're thrilled you enjoyed the dessert! We hope you'll give us another chance to provide a better experience in the future.
