    Made reservations and it was extremely busy, but we were seated relatively soon. Everyone was doing their best to keep everyone happy. The food was excellent, never disappointed in the food. I would always make reservations for this very popular restaurant.

    Linda and the entire team at Basil always make an evening special. Their attention to detail makes you wonder why other restaurants don’t take a page out of Basil’s customer service handbook. Thank you as always!!! V/r, Jim Bejoian

    This was our first visit to Basil. We had found the restaurant on OpenTable and decided to try it. What a find!!!! We were delighted from the start. The hostess greeted us as soon as we walked in and brought us to our table. It was perfect. Our server was Beth. She was so friendly and informative. Beth was attentive but not intrusive. The food was delicious. My Cafe Au Lait martini was so good. We truly enjoyed last night and will definitely be returning.
