Brick Pony Pub is the kind of Basalt spot that does not try to impress you and that is exactly why…read moreit wins. It is warm, unpretentious, and packed with the kind of local energy you can not fake. The burger with sweet potato fries is the move, the fish and chips delivers, and the menu hits that rare sweet spot of comfort food you actually crave after a long day. The real reason we will be back is the service. Chloe and Kendall were the stars of the show, sharp, welcoming, and genuinely on point without ever hovering. If you want a place with honest food, a solid pour, and a staff that makes you feel like you belong, Brick Pony just earned a customer for life.

This was an amazing meal after a multi-day backpacking trip. The bar was bustling with good vibes…read more Even though I was ravenous at first, I couldn't finish my meal because it was so large. I had "The Regular" burger with a side of sweet potato fries, and it was so good. The fries and burger were excellent. My friend ordered two big beers and really enjoyed them. We got good service from a teenager who was kind of awkward but very attentive. I didn't bring this up because I didn't want to bother him, but the menu clearly says that you can add cheese, mushrooms, and avocado for $1, but they charged $3 for it. I was wondering if I had somehow misread it, and that they charge $1 for each extra topping, but the receipt said the avocado was $2 and cheese + mushrooms was $1. I do not like a misleading menu and price discrepancies. It ended up being around $28 after tip, which was pricey for just a burger and fries at a casual bar.

The ambiance is upscale and you can tell that there was attention to detail when it came to decor. I also really like how the restaurant is laid out.

I highly recommend if you find yourself in the area.

I received the complete opposite impression as soon as we sat down... The sign said see the host stand to be seated, so as we were making our way over there a nice young man told us to pick any table we would like. My cousin said the river view was very pretty, so we chose a table with that view. That table, along with a few others, had not been cleared/cleaned yet (which we didn't have a problem with but apparently they did). We sat down and a very rude server came over and essentially asked why we were sitting at a dirty table and that they have a system with the host desk. We said we didn't mind, but again they seemed to have a problem - because she walked away and the bar tender came over and asked if we checked in with anyone. She also seemed to have a problem with the fact that we sat at a dirty table! And then a third server came over and said "Can I get you anything else to drink besides a dirty table?" At that point, we just left. One rude encounter, okay, but 3 different people?? Absolutely unacceptable. We will never be eating there again and I will be telling my family to do the same.

MUST READ PRIOR TO VISIT…read more We dined at Tipsy Trout on Friday evening, March 20th. The dinner itself was good--two beers, a burger and fries--and the price was reasonable for the area. Our waitress was also great during the meal. Unfortunately, everything that followed completely overshadowed the dining experience. When we sat down on the patio, I took my wallet out of my back pocket and placed it on the table. After finishing dinner, we paid and left. About 5-7 minutes later, I realized I had left my wallet behind and returned immediately to retrieve it. When I got back, two new guests were seated at the table and said they had not seen a wallet and that the table had been cleaned before they arrived. I spoke with our waitress, who told me the manager had cleared the table, so I checked with him as well. He said he had not seen it. At that point, it became clear that my wallet had gone missing while still on the restaurant property. I had an AirTag in the wallet, and its location never left the premises. I searched extensively and asked multiple staff members if they had seen it, but no one had. Eventually, my friend found my wallet in the alley behind the restaurant, near a cigarette tray and some brush. The wallet still contained my cards, but my ID and $5 cash were missing. I returned to speak with the manager again about the missing items and got no meaningful help or resolution. I filed a report with the Basalt Police that evening at the restaurant. An officer came out, took the report, spoke with employees, and began reviewing the situation, including obtaining security camera footage from the restaurant. Early the next morning, the police department returned to follow up, speak with staff, and search the property. Later that morning, I received a call that my ID had been located in the trash room associated with the restaurant in the same alley area where the wallet was originally found. I was informed by law enforcement that the matter is under investigation and that multiple individuals of interest had been identified. Credit to the Basalt Police Department--they went above and beyond to recover my ID and follow up on this situation. I have not heard from ownership regarding this situation. While the food and service during the meal were good, the overall experience was unacceptable. Having personal property go missing on-site, later recovered in an alley and trash area with items removed, combined with the lack of accountability or follow-up, is not something I would expect anywhere. I would not recommend dining here based on this experience.

The crusts were so good and the dressing on the salad was so fresh and zingy! And the cake.... I wish I would've bought an entire one to take home. They have a case of fresh desserts with too many options to count and everything looked amazing! The service was quick and straightforward. It was really a nice ambiance - perfect and intimate for a nice meal out while also feeling down to earth like a small mom/pop cafe. Upon leaving I felt so nourished - this place has true comfort food where you feel warm and cozy in your soul after!

So, we decided to check out Basalt. We were lucky to find Heather's. The place has a great cozy vibe. Our servers were very friendly and welcoming. The food was simply fantastic! We enjoyed everything we had. Starting with their delicious Wild Mushroom Soup, then a very fresh and tasty Garden Salad, next we split a Chicken Pot Pie and the Stuffed Pork Chop entrees! That stuffed pork chop had a wonderful mushroom risotto accompanying it and was stuffed with a delicious gruyere cheese and a nicely done asparagus. So good! I strongly recommend this wonderful establishment!

I suggest an order of 3. Each will come with: 2 homemade street-sized tortillas, Carne Asada, onion, and cilantro. So just tell them if you don't want onion (no cebolla) or cilantro, (my wife hates onions). With an order of 3, I have all confidence that you will also get their "taco sauce"; but please request it if it's overlooked on smaller orders. It's truly the difference between great and fantastic! I think everything they serve there is very good, but I don't know for sure. Why? Because once I ate that first taco, nothing else mattered! FYI, I live 20 miles North of Willits and drive up there sometimes only for their tacos! Hope you'll enjoy.
