    Food was really delicious and fairly priced. The ravioli sampler appetizer was particularly good - there were four of us, I wish we'd gotten TWO!

    The food at Basil is consistently incredible. The menu is huge and they always have a ton of specials. The drinks are also great and filled right up to the top of the glass! We love sitting in the bar area. Kelly is so warm and friendly - we feel like we are among good friends every time we go!

    10 out of 10, we love Basil. Kelly is the best - we always look forward to seeing her. She makes us feel so welcome and at home, and steers us to the best choices. Christine makes generous and delicious cocktails. Nobody fills a martini glass higher than she does! Great experience.

    We enjoyed another fantastic dinner at Basil! We were celebrating a birthday and our waiter Christain was great as always. We are never disappointed with Basil's and look forward to our next outing there.

    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.
