I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner at Basil and Mint. We shared 4 appetizers and a pizza and each dish was better than the last. Warm and tasteful atmosphere. Highly recommended in a city with lots of similar offerings.

I apologize for my previous review. My reception on my phone cut out and I must have hit the finish. Didn't even get to complete the star rating.Anyway just wanted to say that Hubs and I went last night with friends to this restaurant for a wonderful dinning experience. Hubs had the tuna, I had the braised short rib. We were not disappointed! Cooked perfectly, and hot.( I'm a bit of a stickler on a nice hot meal.) Also had the creme brûle and hubs had the lemoncillo, raspberry, cheesecake. Outstanding! Our waiter was so attentive. We never lacked for anything. I would highly recomend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys good atmosphere, excelent service, and wonderfully prepared food with very nice presentation. The only downfall was not great for parking. But that seems to be part of the norm for Kelowna. Give it a try! You won't be disappointed!

From beginning to end, Chris made our experience at Basil & Mint stand out. I chose this restaurant for a group of 5 becuase of its fair entre prices (not to high), and noted in my online reservation requuest that it was a bit of a "birthday surprise." Our server Chris organized a suprise dessert and sang Happy Birthday and a super fun birthday song. The excellent service and pace of the meal allowed us to have a thorough visit, delicious food and a memorable experience. Would recommend.

Was a nice restaurant! Really enjoyed the food, however, our order was wrong, they did sort immediately, and we were waiting for a wine a while, we would go back though, the food was really nice, they just seemed a little busy.

As a person with Celiac Disease, it’s always a surprise when I can find a place that can accommodate my dietary needs. Basil & Mint has exceeded all my expectations, from the phenomenal service from Stevie and Chris, to the incredible food so I know I’ll be back & hungry for more!Dietary restrictions: Celiac Disease

The evening was a success, the food was great, the atmosphere was much nicer than many places in Canada. But what struck me most was the service. For the first time, we have already seen aerobatics, for the first time I see a waiter get down on his knee to take an order. And a special evening was organized for us by a true professional, and simply an amazing person, Chris, I thank him immensely for a wonderful evening, if it were possible, I would give all 10 stars instead of 5.
Basil and Mint had been one our favourite Kelowna restaurants. One of us ordered off the regular menu, one the Dine Around menu. The server was very good, however the food didn't live up to the service. The lettuce in our salads was not great quality and the salad was not very flavourful. For the main course, one plate was beef, one was chicken and if you took off the protein the plates looked identical which is odd for such different proteins. The chicken was about the smallest 1/4 chicken we have ever seen, maybe it was Cornish hen :( The beef short ribs were just okay, kind of dry and again a smallish portion. On the positive side the Dine Around desert was good. I understand that food costs have gone up but if you are going to increase your menu prices, don't cut your portion sizes so dramatically. I am giving Basil and Mint 4 stars due to the service and our past experiences but if it was just the food quality the rating would be a 3.5 at best. Hopefully it was just a bad night.

My wife and I are delighted to share that our experience was amazing. The flavours of our food were exceptional. Each dish we ordered showcased the culinary skills of their outstanding chef. Our server Daisy provided impeccable service. She demonstrated her attentiveness with a genuine passion for her customers, ensuring our dining experience was memorable. Her recommendations added to the overall enjoyment of the evening. Highly recommended for both the delectable cuisine and top-notch service!
