Reviews for Tempranillo Restaurant in Basalt, CO
We hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner here for about 20 people. The food and service were above and beyond! They made my family... feel like part of their own and everything we had was delicious. My guests are still talking about it days later. Thank you toLaura for helping me put everything together! A beautiful restaurant with delicious food all around. Read more
Our group of 8 arrived at 6:30 pm for dinner, and we suffered through 4 long hours of very poor service! We ordered cocktails... which finally arrived 45 minutes later. Our waiter could not understand us, brought half of our first course, and the other 4people had to wait another 20 minutes for their first course. Our second course finally arrived for everyone but one, and whenhe finally got his pasta entree, we were almost finished eating ours. He said it tasted like it sat under a heat lamp for 30minutes. The bartender did not know what kind of beers were available- really!!? The food was not worth the wait. Sadly, wewill not be returning. Read more
We had a pleasant experience here during our vacation. We sat on the patio with our dogs, it’s very dog friendly which was... great for us! They have a huge and magical patio space. I was so hungry, I forgot to take pictures of the food. We had the friedcalamari to start, which was juicy and fresh tasting. I had the linguine and clams, which was delicious and exactly what Iwanted! My only wish was that it was slightly bigger. My husband had the veal Marsala, which was a generous portion, but hefound it to require vigorous cutting with a less than sharp knife. However, the flavor was good. We enjoyed our waitstaff, whowere tolerant of our dogs and enjoyed their quirks! I would look forward to coming back the next time I am in town. Read more
The pasta with elk sausages was delicious. I also had the gazpacho of the day which was topped with crab meat. Incredible!
Extremely disappointed with our experience at Tempranillo. Even though we were welcomed nicely by a younger hostess, our dinner... wasn’t very pleasant to say the least. The service by an older waitress was just enough not to be rude. Luckily the waiter wasnicer to deal with. The food was definitely not what we were expecting after reading the reviews: overcooked and barely warmveal Marsala, undercooked paella so you would feel the floury taste of the rice, no more bolognese pasta, extra cost to splitour plate and 20% compulsory tip for a party of 5 (including one kid). This restaurant seems to want to play high end, butnothing there goes that route beside prices. Unfortunate experience, we thought that we would share our disappointment. Read more
I was not overly impressed. The food was okay and not what you expect for the price. I had the cappellini shrimp ad arugula, the... pasta was overcooked and mushy. For a $28 plate of pasta perfectly cooked pasta is expected. I do know that I rarely findcappellinj on a menu and maybe its so thin its hard to prepare. We had the house appetizer shrimp, mushrooms, arugula and abalsamic reduction that was divine and my husband was happy with his meal. We may go back but not regularly. Read more
This restaurant is good, but not great. Nothing memorable. The food is okay, the patio is lovely. The service could be better.... Overall an enjoyable experience eating dinner outdoors with friends. I would think twice about returning. Read more
This place was highly recommended by some local friends and we were disappointed. Food was just ok. A $30 pasta dish had shrimp... that were bland and a poor dry texture. The calamari w chorizo was very vinegary - if it was chorizo then id be surprised andthe calamari was a bit tough. Salad was ok. Check arrived with extra charges that were surprising. Avoid. Read more
