Best Lunch Restaurants in Vail

Food, service and place is great. I’d just disliked the practice of presenting the bill prematurely, disrupting the enjoyment of post-meal conversation.

Hands down our best meal and dining experience during our stay in Vail. We shared the chateaubriand with four in our party and it was incredible - perfectly cooked. My daughter had the halibut which was so inventive and equally as delicious. Gera, our server, was awesome - so attentive and knew the menu inside out - all of his reccos were amazing. The restaurant has such a hip, yet cozy mountain vibe…

Restaurant was just amazing food was amazing and service was amazing overall we loved it

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.

We loved our dinner! My boyfriend is from Germany and said it was the best German he’s had since he moved to the US last year. Thanks for making it such a special meal to celebrate his birthday!
