I was with a large group that happened to pop in to escape the rain. We ended up staying all afternoon at the bar. Onur was our bartender and was amazing. He was so hospitable and provided great service, not to mention amazing drinks! Highly recommend Basil Leaf and Onur!
Stopped in spontaneously and was so pleasantly surprised. Service and food were excellent! Fresh and generous portions. Will be back.
Honestly incredible. However, I went for gluten free meatballs, but couldn’t have them because I am also dairy free and they contain cheese :-( but I got the linguini (gf) with shrimp/scallops and it did not disappoint. The complimentary rolls are not GF or DF. The water was also really yummy haha.
