    Our server was very knowledgeable and able to tell us what could be prepared gluten free off the top of his head. The whipped feta app was outstanding and unusual. We loved both our beef and broccoli entree (not gf) and the cod. Service was great all around. Love this place! Is a must when visiting vail.

    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.

    French onion lasagna with the black truffle add-on was delicious. The duck entree was really good, very rich in flavor with basically no seasonings or spices, just the duck, celery root and orange. I'd definitely get both dishes again.

    The food was knocked down, drag out. Even at altitude in which my wife could barely smell or breathe she enjoyed every minute of it. We would go back poor service and all. Because the food was that good. That’s it.
