    We order calamari and shrimp, and we got 3 calamari 3 shrimps and lots of veggies that they weren’t describe at the menu. Very poor selection of Spanish young wines. We will not come back, we preferred their partner restaurant the mountain Standard restaurant.

    The food, menu, and atmosphere was very good. The bar tender was less friendly, but I wouldn’t worry too much, people sometimes have other things on their mind. Overall was a nice place to check out.

    Over the past four and a half decades, we have had both positive and negative experiences at Sweet Basil. Unfortunately, our recent visit did not meet our expectations. The service was subpar, falling short of the standards we have come to expect from a so called “Michelin rated” restaurant or our previous experiences at Sweet Basil. We ordered drinks and waited nearly 30 minutes for them to arrive. Our server was not attentive to our party of nine. After placing our order, the food finally arrived. However, one of our dinners was undercooked and was sent back to the kitchen. Meanwhile, the rest of us had already finished our meals. We decided to order a second round of drinks, but the server took almost 30 minutes to take our order and was unfamiliar with the bar’s bourbon selection. Finally, the undercooked dinner arrived when we were all finished. The overall experience was unsatisfactory, especially considering the high price point of $1000. Regrettably, we have decided to end our patronage at Sweet Basil. We bid them farewell and hope that they will improve their service and food quality in the future.
