Surprisingly empty on Black Friday morning for brunch, and so we greatly enjoyed everything on the menu as well as the usual great service by our waiter Ronald!

Smoked Salmon toast was excellent and so were the chicken sandwich and prime rib sandwich. The fries were especially good! Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside - just the way we like it! The iced tea is now a flavored passion fruit black tea which was also excellent. Basalt has never disappointed my dining experience.

What a nice place to grab a nice but not break-the-bank-nice Thanksgiving dinner! We had been to their bar once before, and everything coming out of the kitchen looked good, so we tried it for Thanksgiving. Spot on! Turkey, ham, pork tenderloin, root veggies, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy...and a delicious pineapple (bread? cake?). Everything was delicious, and the servers and bartenders were ALL amazingly friendly and helpful. Will definitely be coming back soon.

Went to Basalt with my two adult children for Thanksgiving dinner (the holiday, not the food). Shared squash coconut curry soup and lemon pepper shrimp recommended by waiter. Both were outstandingly good! Entrees included shutome (a sushi grade swordfish) and mushroom risotto, both of which were excellent. And for dessert, mochi brownie and POG mousse, great choices. We tried the rum-based sangria, but didn’t care for it and weren’t charged for it. Overall, an excellent experience for the family!

We were seated promptly for our reservation, and the servers were very helpful. The butternut squash soup was excellent.
