Best Fun Restaurants in Keystone

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

The menu is great! We also enjoy the specials. The food is always prepared perfectly and the service is exceptional! Blue River Bistro is our favorite restaurant in Breckenridge!

We were warmly greeted by the hostess and manager, and promptly seated although we had arrived early. The manager noticed my husbands’ interest in bourbon, and he was very helpful, bringing the extensive list of bourbons and helping with his selection. From the cocktails, to the appetizers and entrees, everything was exceptional. We did not try the prix fixe menu but it looked amazing. This is the place to dine while in Breckenridge, we will be back!

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.

The miso cod, seafood udon, and combination sashimi were all excellent. Service was prompt and attentive at early seating (5:00 PM).
