“This is a date night or family "nice dinner" staple for us. We love supporting local and we are rarely disappointed at Basil's. The menu frequently rotates at least 2-3 new things if not more, while somehow managing to keep my favorites: the salmon, bbq ribs, and JF burger are all recommended! Market toss salad is also a winner for lunch or dinner. Add the chicken! This experience was slightly different. We sat down in a Thursday night at 5:30 with a party of 3. Very attentive service soon diminished as the restaurant loaded up to capacity (almost) shortly after 6:00. Lots of younger (under 40) diners with tables of 6 and 8 common. We are in our younger 40s so it was nice to see groups frequenting Basil's instead of a franchise chain. This was not our servers fault, to be clear. She was simply overwhelmed with tables and larger ones at that. It was to the point where glasses were so dry and for 15+ minutes that my 8 year old son was eating ice because he was so thirsty. I was on my way to the bar for self service refills when our server finally noticed and RAN for the water pitcher. We will give it another try... but ownership without Todd seems different.“
