    Our young Italian Waiter was outstanding! He went overboard to make our special night outstanding. It was my wife's birthday and with his help he made it more than special. Basil has always been our place for special nights, but with this young man, and !our best meal ever!, to serve us made it work. Thank you,thank you. Gene Wallace

    I ordered one of the specials which was a delicious pork chop prepared with Italian seasonings, breadcrumbs and banana peppers. It was cooked perfectly, very tender and moist. It was served with red pepper risotto and asparagus. The wait staff is very personable and attentive. I definitely will recommend Basil to all my friends.

    John was our service person and was very helpful and happy. Always a smile and checked in regularly. Food is always consistent and delicious. Ordered the chicken piccata and the chicken wasn't even dry or overcooked which is always a plus! We do have dinner at Basils 5-6X a year and always a great place to have dinner.

    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
