Basil Thai Restaurant & Bar offers a modern ambiance with sleek décor and a lively atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive, always ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The menu is extensive, featuring classic Thai dishes like catfish, pad see ew, and aguachile. The portion sizes are generous, and the seafood is fresh with great flavor. Dishes like grilled salmon in cream curry sauce and pad Thai have received high praise for their perfect balance of flavors and quality ingredients. The papaya salad is crisp, fresh, and combines the right amount of acidity and spice. The vegetable curry and chicken laarb are also highly recommended, with some dishes being properly spicy and authentic tasting, reminiscent of flavors from Southeast Asia. The staff is accommodating, even for those with strollers, and the environment feels like a trip to Bangkok, down to the details like steel soup spoons. The three-course meal deal, priced at $45, offers good value and includes a drink, while happy hour specials feature affordable cocktails, snacks, beer, and wine. Despite minor issues like undercooked dumplings in the past, the overall experience at Basil Thai remains delightful, with delicious food made from high-quality ingredients. Whether for a special event or a casual visit, Basil Thai Restaurant & Bar promises a fun and flavorful dining experience.
