About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighbourhood gem
Charming

Free Range Kitchen is the creation of owners Steve & Robin Humble who have been immersed in the Roaring Fork Valley's restaurant scene for 30 years.

We strive to create a menu that offers seasonal, innovative comfort food. We use responsibly farmed, freshly harvested ingredients without hormones or antibiotics, supporting the local Colorado farming and ranching communities. We use local ingredients, whenever possible.

Our goal is to create a BEAUTIFUL, FUN, WELCOMING restaurant & bar with WARM, FRIENDLY service, & a GREAT VIBE alongside the river, in Historic Downtown Basalt. With boutique global wine offerings, hand selected by Steve and a wide selection of regional craft beers and specialty cocktails using artisanal spirits and house-made infusions.

We absolutely adore this restaurant and the staff that works there! The Hamachi Crudo special was to die for last night and the wine options are superb! It was a little too loud last night but usually they have a musician playing at a very reasonable volume and the noise level is usually wonderful - bring the music back! Thanks for being awesome!!!

Would absolutely go back and overall had an incredible meal - all dishes were really good, the smashburger was fantastic, and the skillet chocolate chip cookie was a wonderful ending to the meal. Menu items were thoughtful and priced well. The only complaint I have was the service was extraordinary slow. We waited almost 15 minutes once sat for anyone to even greet us or take a drink order. We waited again quite a long time for our food. Our server was extremely warm and nice, but they just seemed overwhelmed. That said, we would certainly go back in the future and hope for better service.
