    We went as a family of four with reservations on a Friday night. The minute we walked in it took the hostess a while to get off the phone and accept our reservations. Our table was in a high traffic area next to the bathroom and kitchen and the entire restaurant was extremely noisy. It was difficult to hear, even though I don’t have a trouble hearing in most places. I do appreciate the excellent help of the service which was fast and attentive, and the food was hot served quickly, and tasted fresh. So maybe if you go on a not busy night it’s a lot better.

    We are never disappointed in the food or cocktails at Basils. My husband had the special, baked stuffed lobster, and said it was delicious. We both had martinis, lemon drop and a chocolate. Both were so so good. We always go back to Basils when we’re craving a great dining experience. Being a Friday night it was a little loud but expected for a full restaurant of happy people.

    Absolutely love this place. Linda and Theresa were wonderful. Looking forward to my next time already. Request beef stroganoff for next time. Best shrimp cocktail and sauce ever. Request tea water to be hotter. Such a great meal.
