Very nice dinner at an affordable price. More like a pizzeria setting but food is good and service is great. Great for a casual dinner. AC could have been better but overall we liked this restaurant. 4.3 rating

There is no air conditioning in the restaurant, which was very uncomfortable on an 80-degree day. The server had to check on several menu items as the kitchen was witnessing equipment issues related to pasta. The management didn't offer any apologies or provide any comps for not having AC. At the end of our meal, they opened the doors to let air in. Don't recommend.

Basil's is our "go to" restaurant for lunch whenever we're in town, ever since Our Daily Bread Restaurant closed down. We love the salads and sandwiches. Food is consistently good, service is good and restaurant is clean.

Jennifer was amazing!!! We love Basil's, but have never really had exceptional service. She was one of the best servers I've had in a long time at any restaurant. She noticed all the details and made our son feel so special for his birthday! Everything was delicious as always!

Very accommodating! We had a party of 9 and our server was prompt and checked in at the perfect times. We were all over the place putting in drink and appetizer orders at different times but she got everything in. I would have expected and accepted a forgotten detail or two in this situation but there was none! Basil's has some fancier food items but those of us who weren't familiar with midscale Italian were not scoffed at or judged. For example, our server dutifully brought a requested extra serving of alfredo sauce to my mother-in-law when the delicious house-made noodles drank up the original, and she happily told us what cheeses were on our charcuterie without making us feel like feral hillbillies for not being able to tell by looking at them (something that has happened to my family at restaurants in the area). Basil's is a great option for a large party with varying food tastes.
