    We have been dining here for years. It is a favorite for all reasons that you can imagine: outstandingly prepared food, friendly staff, great service, nice wine list, great menus choices, more. We previously had an “off” experience but after reaching out to the restaurant to question why, the owner couldn’t have been nicer and our experience last night clearly showed that it was an anomaly and things are back to what we have always loved. Note: the escargot and duck are amazing! You must try!

    Love this place!! This has become our go to when we are going to dinner with friends and family we take them to Basil because we are most certainly guaranteed a great meal and wonderful service! Last night was no exception as we dined with our daughter and her friend who had not been before this evening. We had a great server, Rob, who was both funny and very attentive! He added to our enjoyable evening! Started with the Thai Chili calamari and the coconut shrimp. Both were delicious! Two of us had the grilled swordfish special served with au gratin potatoes and fresh vegetable medley. Delicious! My husband had his favorite, duck. Served crispy and moist, perfectly cooked. Our other guest had the chicken parm which is always very tender and flavorful. They have a very tasty red sauce and the chicken is usually fork tender. We shared pecan pie with ice cream for dessert. Rob served two of us his creamy espresso martinis which were great! It was a great evening per usual at Basil and we look forward to our return!
