Basil's Restaurant & Tapas Bar

The food and drinks were amazing. We loved the seabass entree and the tapas spinach pie. Service was good, runs like a family owned business. They make you feel home, welcome and comfortable. Please note is small restaurant, so I recommend reservations.

We spend Christmas dinner at this restaurant after looking at their menu online and excited to try it out. Unfortunately, they had a limited menu for Christmas that was $30 higher than had we gotten 3 courses separately. The service was non-existent, we were rushed through our meal and then dessert came and it was clear they hadn't planned for all the reservations they had. The pieces of cake were cut into smaller, bite size pieces rather than an actual serving. We spent $250 for 3 salads, 1 vegetarian pasta, 1 serving of lamb and veal chops, plus half portions of dessert and no cocktails.

The food was descent, but overpriced and if that wasn't bad enough, the service followed with disappointment. It was white glove prices and we have received better service at McDonalds. So disappointed and won't return. Don't waste your money!

Sat there for 40 minutes without any help. Left after that. Not an exaggeration might have even been longer, it was busy but you can't just let customers sit there for that long without taking our order. We were lucky we even got water.

Waited for about 45 minutes with no one taking our order or bothering to check. Other people looked just as annoyed as us. Would've loved to try the food but oh well.

The food was absolute amazing. The way they prepare the lamb is phenomenal and is something I know I will think about often. Great vibe and the servers are all so nice and amazing. Love this place

We literally had the place to ourselves for most of the meal. Which can be a bad sign. However this place is consistently VERY good!

We found this amazing little spot on Google and the find me GF app. I have a real bad gluten allergy and am frequently afraid to try new places.

The menu looked safe, the reviews looked good, so hubby gave the restaurant a quick call. Anna was beyond comforting, told him not to worry, that I would be safe and to come on in (without a reservation)!

I can say enough about our dinner. It is our 12th wedding anniversary. After a long day at the botanical gardens I didn't want to go anywhere too fancy or pretentious, but we definitely wanted a great meal. They did not disappoint. The service was perfect. Attentive, pleseant, kind.

The food was perfection. The grouper was light, with a buttery texture and paired with grilled veggies. Hubby had the scallops with grits, hands down amazing!

For dessert, we had the gluten free flourless chocolate cake and it did not disappoint! The raspberry sauce added the perfect tartness to complement the creamy chocolate goodness of the cake!

Even the valet was a doll!

We will definitely be back!

We were visiting from out of town and this place did not disappoint! We had the Mediterranean mezza dips, the goat cheese flatbread, the mussels, the kids pasta with tomato sauce, the chocolate mousse, and the creme brulee. It was all absolutely delicious! The flavors in the dips with the fresh pita bread were perfection. The wine was great! The desserts exceeded expectations. The service was wonderful and we would definitely recommend Basil!

Kid-friendliness: They don’t have a printed kids menu, but they offer pasta with tomato sauce or Alfredo sauce, and chicken fingers & fries.

The Food was excellent as was the setting on the patio. The service was spotty, and they forgot to charge for the wine until our friends left, so I had to pay for the whole bottle. I will go back, though.

I found this place on a whim and I am SO glad I did. Basil’s had some of the best food I have ever had and the owner and staff of the restaurant are so friendly. I could not recommend this place enough!

We had a great time at this place. Food was very tasty and authentically. Great atmosphere with outside seating. Would recommend this for a romantic evening out or a get together with friends.

This is our go to restaurant in Buckhead. The food is always excellent, the service friendly, and the option of eating on the large patio a real plus. We shared crispy cauliflower in tahini sauce as an appetizer. I love their take on Paella, which is a mix of perfectly cooked grouper and salmon, mussels, scallops and shrimp over rice in a saffron broth - not the classic pan cooked rice dish but delicious! My wife loves the hearts of palm salad and Tabouleh.
