We stopped here over Labor Day weekend for lunch. We sat outside on the little patio and watched all the people passing by. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. I ordered the gnocchi in smoked tomato butter sauce with mozzarella and my husband had salmon with lemongrass rice. Both dishes were lovely and perfectly seasoned with a surprising variety of texture which made the dishes even more satisfying. I had a Mexican senorita cocktail and my husband had a blonde ale, both were wonderful.

We spent three days in Vail. So many great restaurants. Sweet Basil is clearly one of the best. We started with a gnocchi app that was glorious. The pork chop and Salmon were prepared perfectly. The lemon/fennel dessert was out of this world. We sat at the bar and had a great time with Andy the bartender and other guests at the bar. Pretty restaurant!!

We came to Sweet Basil the night after our wedding to celebrate. The food was absolutely amazing and was one of the best meals we have ever had in our lives. The gnocchi was so delicious we are still craving it one week later, and the toffee pudding cake was incredible. The service was excellent as well and we cannot wait to go back soon!

Wow! What a lunch. Started with a 1/2 btl of Guy Lamardier Grand Cru Bubbles with Truffle Fries, Crispy Shrimp & Calamari and Corn Cappelletti then moved on to a 1/2 bottle of Chateau Cantermerle with Ricotta Gnocchi and Lombardi Brothers Loin Burger. Great wine program; particularly like the great 1/2 btl selections. Everything was amazing. Staff professional and Friendly. Beautiful space. Will be back!

Best restaurant in Vail. Make your reservation early as it gets crowded in season. The octopus and or tuna crudo appetizers are excellent. Follow those with the generous pork, crab, or venison loin entrees and you won't be disappointed!

Really good food in Vail! I wish they would have a soup or stew option but the things I have gotten are all great. Recently had the ricotta gnocchi and the shrimp la plancha. Both excellent. I'd round this up to 4.5 stars but the prices are too steep to give it a full 5.

We came in for a late lunch and were really impressed by the food and the view. We had the heirloom tomato salad and I had the Argentine shrimp while my husband had the salmon. Each dish was so flavorful and well cooked. The shrimps were tender but still have a slight crisp and I loved how well cooked and flavorful the veggies in the dish were as well. Would come back again to try out other dishes if we have the chance

We had an absolutely outstanding dinner at Sweet Basil! Every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Between our group we enjoyed the beef tenderloin, salmon, Iberian duroc pork, and the Dungeness crab bucatini—each one was perfection. For dessert, the toffee pudding cake was the perfect sweet ending, especially paired with an espresso martini or coffee. Our waitress, Lora, was fantastic—warm, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. She made the evening even more enjoyable with her recommendations and professionalism. The atmosphere is lively yet elegant, and it’s clear why Sweet Basil has such a stellar reputation in Vail. Highly recommend for a memorable dining experience!
