    Always great food and service at Basil. A perfect place to get a full dinner or to just enjoy some apps and a salad or sandwich. They do everything well.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants! From the food to the service everything is always impeccable! Abe & Louie’s should be on everyone’s top three. And if you’re lucky enough to sit in Shaheen‘s section it’s an even more amazing experience!

    Outstanding service and food quality. Incredibly loud, group next to us were shouting and laughing so loudly it was unbearable. Have no issues with people enjoying themselves at dinner and having lively conversation just doesn’t have to be at the highest decibel level humanly possible. Unfortunate because the food quality and our server were superb! Not sure there is much that can be done to prevent or mitigate loud patrons in an open dining room.

    Amazing. I’ve been in KS a lot lately so know good steak. And honestly was expecting to be disappointed. But it was absolutely superb. The steak was flavorful, tender, and perfectly cooked. The wine list was impeccable if slightly overpriced. But the wine was superb and well recommended by the sommelier. The apps and sides were excellent. And Brian our waiter was excellent from start to finish. I will take clients here again and again.

    I’ve been to the Watertown location and this one in Boston has a more eclectic vibe, loved it! The food is on point just like Watertown. There were certain nuances of the menu that were kind of weird like buttermilk fried chicken, we couldn’t get sauce on the side it had to be on top and a few other silly things but we made it work. The prices are very good and to give you a basic business meal idea (with the 20% gratuity-included for a group of six)with five appetizers, six entrées, and 10 alcoholic beverages. The bill was slightly over $400. There wasn’t a hungry belly when we left and had some to take home with us as well. The portion sizes for the appetizers are all shareable. Do your taste buds a favor and visit either or location, you will not be disappointed! To be honest, I usually take pictures to share with others, but the food was so good and devoured so fast there was no time, lol!
