    Never knew this place existed in the 15 years I’ve lived in a neighboring town. Great good. Great service. Definitely coming back again. A little loud and busy since it was a Saturday night.

    I'm a local of Medfield and I go out to eat about once a week or less. When we do go to Basil's, the food is always great along with service. I think of Basil on more of the high end side because of the linen and the atmosphere and expect to get really delicious food for the price which we do. The chicken is never dry, the fish is cooked well and the pasta dishes/cream sauces are outstanding(but not a fan of the raviolis.)
