The Wild Fig Willits — Restaurant in Basalt

Last night was our second visit to The Wild Fig Willits. We’re so happy to have this spot close to home, but there are still a few service kinks to work out.

Not only a professional, but the friendliest guy ever. He made me feel comfortable, and made sure that my evening was curated to exactly what I wanted & more. 5 Stars!!!!...
