Really yummy food and great service. I called to get a table and the manager told me unfortunately they were booked. After I hung up a few minutes later The manager called me back and said that if we could get there quickly they would have a table for us for 2 hours. Luckily we were right around the corner at tipsy trout! Got a great table outside for the dogs. Have drinks at tipsy trout next to the river then head here for dinner the burrata board is a must!

Had a lovely dinner here with family. The atmosphere is contemporary with rustic finishes. It was very busy and loud but also created a fun environment. The menu was creative with plenty of variety for everyones tastes. The food was excellent, cooked perfectly, and flavorful with good portions. The service was also stellar with enough staff to ensure all needs are taken care of. Will definitely return here and highly recommend.

Great vibe. Yummy cocktails (old fashioned, barrel aged Manhattan, pomegranate martini). Burrata share plate had roasted brussels sprouts, olives, pickled beets, and other veggies. Duck bao were amazing. Then the entrees. Short rib falling off the bone was to die for. The pan seared trout was incredible. Chorizo bolognese was solid. The burger was a bit dry but had yummy cheese sauce, but I’d skip it. Too full for dessert but the options looked enticing.

Out of respect for the restaurant industry, supporting local and the work it takes to get wholesome food on a plate. The French onion soup is the burger & truffle fries also . Sorry for my out-of-line first review. It was based on a bitterness I feel towards dining, inflation, the cost of living in this valley and not so much your individual restaurant and I realize that wasn’t fair. Keep up the great work

I can’t find any thing to improve! This place is a gem! Ditch Aspen & head to Basalt (Yes, Basalt). Food, atmosphere, service - Free Range Kitchen has it all going on. And we got to enjoy good live music on top of it. Thanks for a wonderful dining experience!

Really nice place to dine in. 2 steps from the river, perfect for a digestive walk in the nature after an amazing meal. Renee was very friendly and professional! I had a blast. Highly recommended.

We came here for a company dinner and had a fantastic time. The servers and the owners are all wonderful, as is the food. Also, great decor too.
