Sweet Basil Vail Reviews
This place was very good.
We were in Vail for vacation and I had a hard time finding vegan options. I saw on their website they could accommodate vegan diets, and though I wasn't sure what to expect... I was not disappointed! The two veggie dishes I had were very flavorf

I had high hopes for Sweet Basil, but unfortunately, the meal didn't live up to expectations. We started with the Feta Appetizer, which was decent and had a good balance of sweetness and savory cheese, but nothing spectacular. Then we moved on t
Came in with very high hopes.
Everything missed the mark. Service was just rude. Not friendly at all. Salmon made me sick I had to send it back. Fishiest i've ever had. Only good thing was the tenderloin. Really disappointed. Michelin recommended? No idea how.

Good Service & Cheeseburger
Arrived on a Sunday around 2 pm and was able to get a table top immediately. Waiter was knowledgable and friendly and helped us pick out some fruity cocktails that we were not familiar with. They were both good. We just split a cheeseburger and

I enjoyed the Lawman cocktail, the gnocchi, and the lemon & fennel dessert on the outdoor patio. The vibe and the food were perfect!
We did 9 o'clock reservation.
We got there early tried to get a drink at the bar. The bar staff was busy because everybody was eating at the bar. We couldn't get a drink. So we just patiently waited.. took us back to our table, which is very nice with the back of the restaur
NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE
I spent my summer at Vail. Beautiful, great activities and great weather. I went with 5 friends to Sweet Basil. The service was very slow, but the food was just not at its prime,
Would not return
My friend and I were looking forward to this dinner but it was definitely disappointing. We had nice service, but our appetizer consisted of heirloom tomatoes, and the yellow tomatoes were not ripe- they were white. Then our dinner came and we found

Mountain Standard is much better

Sweet Vail Lunch
Classy lunch stop on a day trip to Vail. It was busy and we didn’t have reservations but were able to get seats at the bar. We enjoyed a delicious whipped goat cheese appetizer that was baked in a puff pastry and drizzled with ginger honey lime s
Sweet Basil - not so sweet
Sweet Basil was an honored tradition for over 15 years. We recently visited to celebrate multiple birthdays Sadly, this visit is our last. This was the worst dining experience - I never write reviews but feel compelled to do this time Service
Great service but luke warm food
service was great, whipped feta was amazing but entrees were served lukewarm warm at best. We sent back pork chop and was still returned sort of warm. Food temperature is very important!
Terrible and Rude Manager
We had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. Our server was great—she explained everything well and provided good service. However, the attention from the hostesses was the worst. We arrived early, and even though the restaurant was

Not a good dining experience
Was very disappointed with our meals. Service was poor and not well attended by our servers. Our meal was cold and not tasty at all. They brought me a second serving and it was still not good at all. We were 2 couples and all disappointed with wh

Best food I've had in my life! Everything we ate was a 10/10. Would recommend the whipped feta and yellowtail for appetizers. Spicy tuna and steak tartar. For entree we recommend the chicken, tomato and mozzarella salad and the venison loin!
Lunch on the 4th
Stopped in for lunch on the 4th of July! The service was wonderful and the food was delicious and full of flavor. Stephen, our waiter, was so friendly and helpful on the menu items. The view of the creek is perfect on a beautiful summer day! We had t
Great place!!!
Just an excellent restaurant… We got a seat by the window overlooking Gore Creek… My Duroc Pork Chop was amazing!!! My wife had the venison and it was sooo good!!! The toffee desert is also something special… The Sommellier really knows his win
Whole staff was rude to us Idk why.
We were just there on a Friday night for a couples date. Hostess food runner and waitress were extremely short with us- it was a terrible vibe and experience Food wise, they were out of the snapper we wanted ,, gnocchi was just a block of cheese ver
Absolutely amazing food and service.
We made a reservation and were sat on the patio with a view of the water.
Food and service were ok.
Ambiance was dated. They need better bartenders. Not impressed.
Very expensive, tiny portions
Very expensive, tiny portions and not worth it. The portions are getting smaller and smaller each year. The size of an entree is the size of an appetizer. They even charge for the bread- 4 bites of bread costs 8$. Cocktails are mediocre and full of i
What a fantastic restaurant! Sweet Basil is the premier
What a fantastic restaurant! Sweet Basil is the premier restaurant on the main walking street in Vail for a reason. From the lovely welcome from the hostess at the door (Kaley) who answered all of our questions and made a wonderful suggestion to have
Difficult to get a reservation, but the food is pretty nice.
Service is good. Overall, I think this place is a little overrated and the cost of dining is off the charts.
We had the best experience here for dinner.
Sat right at the windows overlooking the beautiful creek, our server was super attentive, and the food was INCREDIBLE. We enjoyed the oysters, caviar, and venison tartare to share - all perfect for 2 people. We had the venison meal - perfectly cooked
Very slow service and nothing special about the atmosphere.
Food looks pretty but I didn't enjoy it. If overpriced, fancy food with small portions is your style then definitely try it. I wouldn't recommend coming here.
Unwelcoming and disrespectful unfriendly employees
I was with my wife, ordered a house cab. The bartender with the most dull (dud) personality poured what looked like, well let me tell you if I put a dime at the bottom of the wine glass it would not have covered it. He walked away,And then he asked m
I thought this place was pretty good.
The food was quite delicious- I tried a host of appetizers plus the scallops and the wagyu, all of which were tasty. 4.5 stars.
Good food in Vail
Great spot for dinner. The food is typically well prepared and enticing to look at. The wine list is well-appointed with a range of varieties and prices. This is one of our places to bring friends when they visit Vail. as it has a good location and r

Connect with users posting reservations for Sweet Basil Vail
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Sweet Basil Vail. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Sweet Basil Vail at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Sweet Basil Vail page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Sweet Basil Vail to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Sweet Basil Vail!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
