    Basil is very consistent. Quality food and excellent cocktails. Their shrimp cocktail is both large and fresh. The linguini with meat sauce and sausage is one of the best overall Italian dishes I’ve ever had and I’ve been to many fine Italian restaurants in my seven decades.

     The Chicken Piccata was absolutely delicious! Also, the steak au poivre was amazing and perfectly done. We highly recommend those two dishes.

    Basil's is a great restaurant and our waitress Kelly goes a long way to make everyone welcome. My friends and I always enjoy our time at Basil's and try to go as often as we can. If you're looking for excellent food and top notch service, Basil's is the place.
