   This was our first time, and not sure why we waited so long. The food was fresh and well prepared, and the service was very good and staff was very cordial and accommodating. We will definitely come back. The only issue we had was finding the restaurant once we drove in. The signage could be a little bit more clear.

   Our server was delightful…the food was great … especially the halibut tacos 😊 a lovely glass of Chardonnay and a table that provided us the unusual restaurant experience of being able to have a quiet conversation… easy parking, reasonable prices, what more could one ask for?

   I enjoy dining in the courtyard among the old olive trees, but I will say that the outdoor dining chairs are very uncomfortable, and even the tables are kind of cheap feeling. Ours was tippy and also had some debris from the trees on it when we were first led to our table--would have been nice if it had been freshly wiped off and leveled properly before we were seated there. Our server was nice and service was okay...my husband was most of the way finished with his meal though before his glass of wine arrived, which was unfortunate. Food was very tasty, above average for the area.

   Hi John, Thank you for sharing your feedback. While we're delighted to hear that you found the food tasty and your server nice, we are truly sorry for the less-than-ideal outdoor setting and slow wine service. This is certainly not the experience we want to provide to our guests. Your comments will be shared with our team so we can continue to improve where needed. We hope to welcome you back soon for a visit that exceeds your expectations in every way. With gratitude, Javier Leal Grapefruit Basil General Manager

   Server was super nice but had too many tables to serve causing delays in between courses

   I thought I made the mistake of booking here instead of the flagship inside the store, but we were blown away. this location is beautiful, and we're so happy to have stumbled upon it. beautiful drinks, great food, dazzling service *shout out Josie!* what a perfect way to end our month long trip in the desert. only note, is that there was an annoying couple of flied who insisted on lingering around us. Perhaps some outdoor fans to help the stagnant air might help. otherwise 10/10 experience

   Realize its festival season, was warned that kitchen is about 45 min to get out food so we ordered right away. Took over an hour and 3 dishes arrived and the 4th person had to wait an additional 5 minutes along with the toast for the other 3 guests. Asked immediately for condiments from the food runner but never received, asked another server, still nothing...got up from table to ask bussers. Our server came over and apologized. Had to ask for refills of water. The food itself was delicious thankfully as we were starved.

   Dear Candice, Thank you for sharing your feedback. While we're glad to hear you enjoyed the food, we're sorry the kitchen delays and missing condiments took away from what should have been a smooth experience. We appreciate your patience and your kind note about the server's apology. Your comments have been shared with our team so we can continue to improve communication and timing during busy periods. We hope to welcome you back soon for a visit that's just as delicious. Warmly, Andrew Roddy - Director of Outlets

   The table felt gritty. I took a napkin and wiped it to find brown dirt on the napkin. The service was mediocre and the food was subpar. The wedge salad came with green goddess dressing. I asked for Ranch and he gave me dressing for wings and no blue cheese available . Very disappointing and will probably not return. No one liked their meal; spaghetti squash and we split the halibut and it came with no sides. We were still hungry so ordered risotto which was also subpar

   Dear Jodi, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations.

Your comments have been shared with our team, and we're addressing them directly to ensure these issues are corrected. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope you'll consider giving us another chance to provide the experience you deserve. Warmly, Andrew Roddy, Director of Outlets

    Unfortunately, this place has everything going for it but the service. Great location, atmosphere, and food. But the service is consistently poor. We ordered a bottle of wine upon sitting and got it after our food was delivered. We saw our waiter 3 times during our meal. There are always a lot of staff around, but they all disappear and most are poorly trained. Very poor management.

    Dear Amy, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Grapefruit Basil. While we're pleased to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere, location, and food, we're truly sorry that the service fell short and impacted your overall impression. Your comments about delayed wine service, limited attentiveness, and training gaps are taken seriously and have been shared with our team. This is not the level of hospitality we strive to deliver, and we appreciate your honest feedback as it helps us identify where we need to improve. We would value the opportunity to make this right and hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future. Warmly, Melissa Asmus Director of Marketing
