Sweet Basil – Vail, Colorado

Any regular Vail visitor is well aware of Sweet Basil. It never disappoints. Sweet Basil opened its doors in 1977 and is a creative, modern American restaurant located in the heart of the Vail Village, voted Colorado’s Most Popular Restaurant by the Zagat survey. The menu features imaginative cuisine with an innovative array of diverse influences. A destination for wine lovers as well, the wine list features over 500 carefully chosen selections from around the world.

Vail is a beautiful place to visit in the summertime. Every time I visit, I always think about how lucky I am to live in Colorado. Does it get any better? Vail Village was hoppin’ this past weekend and the weather was perfect. We were so excited to dine at Sweet Basil (again) and as usual, it was absolutely fabulous. Here are few things we had:

Asparagus and Smoked Prosciutto Carpaccio
Shaved Green and White Asparagus + Crispy Egg Yolk
Bagna Cauda + Asparagus Puree
