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.

The staff was attentive, food was delicious, and they were attributed to our 3 year old grandson’s food and beverage needs. The wine tasing was also quite good. Friendly local vibe and quite good!

Jennifer was an excellent server, always anticipating our needs! So friendly and so helpful! Food was delicious! I had the steak Marsala special and it was outstanding! My husband had the spaghetti and meatballs. While they were good, there were way too many herbs in the meatballs. We will definitely be back!

The food was phenomenal, and the portions were large. Our server I think was a manager but service was exquisite.
