    Although the food is usually wonderful. the Roast Duck this evening was very dried out - either overcooked or sitting around too long. Everything else - House Salad, au Gratin Potatoes, Grilled Swordfish, Sautéed Spinach - was excellent.

    If you're at Basil for great food and service yet have little interest in talking to each other? It's great. I had a headache when I left there, last night. The noise was off the scales. Maybe, we will not go on a Saturday evening, again.
