"It’s rare when something continues to improve after being around for almost 50 years (we’re looking at you, Bradley Cooper), but Sweet Basil is doing just that in Vail Village. Continuous updates both to the menu and dining room since its opening in 1977 have kept the restaurant from being outdone by any Vail newcomers. And while the space and cocktails are great, the real reason it’s a Vail institution is the food. Start with the yellowtail crudo or Colorado lamb tartare, and move on to the Iberian Duroc pork. Try and make a reservation, but you might be able to slide into the walk-in bar seats if you aim for that liminal space between après-ski and the dinner rush (aka 5pm)." - Kim Fuller
