Westbound & Down Basalt — Restaurant in Basalt

My husband and I went there last week. He had the pork schnitzel and I had the scallops and pork. The schnitzel was so dry and hard. The scallops were ok but the pork was dripping with grease. After we paid the bill the manager came over asked how we liked our meal. We told him and he said we should have mentioned it before paying the bill. My husband said no we wanted to pay and that's why we mentioned it now. He said he would relay it to the chef and thanks for the feedback. We went in again last night and had something different. It was ok . This is the crazy part. My husband was sitting away from the bar looking out the window and the manager( I hope an owner would never treat anyone so badly) came up behind my husband and told him he had no idea what he was talking about and the schnitzel was just how it should be. He said the chef even looked it up on the internet. What !!!! He was so confrontational I was in complete awe. Was this really happening?? We were just sitting there. I told him we were willing to give it another try and we were back and what was his problem? He got in my husbands face and was threatening him over the correctness of the schnitzel This was the wildest experience I have ever had. So if you don't like the food just don't go back because you could be risking your life...

The brewery restaurant has a modern-rustic feel. The Expresso Martini was well blended. The Festbeer was great and I thought would be my highlight of the night. Then my Waygu Hangar Steak Au Poivre meal arrived (mashed potatoes with broccolini in excellent Au Poivre gravy). Truly the best steak I have ever had. I travel for work and they pay for my dinners, I eat at “steakhouses” often. At $32 this is a steal. I understand this is expensive for Brewery food, but absolutely worth every penny. I have eaten Waygu at very expensive Japanese restaurants, with the meal approaching 7 times the price and this was significantly better. I had to tell the server of my experience and the chef himself came out to thank me for my rave review. I will skip the opportunity to find another great eatery tomorrow night and return for the best steak I have ever had. Even if you don’t like beer, come for this amazing steak dinner. My medium rare was cooked...

Bougie downtown Basalt Brewery. A little pretentious if you don't know the wait/bar staff, seemed very local oriented. Food was pretty good, my husband enjoyed the chicken tinga tacos, and I had the portobello pita. The pita was okay, a lot of tzatziki sauce, a lot of black olives, not many mushrooms, it was very heavy, and greasy. Not a light meal at all, I was holding it, squeezing the grease from it. A little too much for me. The truffle potatoes were excellent, but fried. A better suggestion as a condiment, I used blue cheese dressing to dip them in, instead of ketchup. I unfortunately wasn't a big fan of their brews and ended up with a canned cider instead. They should offer kombucha, sours, or ciders on tap. Extensive menu and on the lighter side big portioned dinner salads I saw on other tables too. A lot of merch for sale also. Overall,...
