The service has always been top notch. The dishes have always been delicious and beautifully plated. The ingredients are always fresh and tasty. Obviously, these folks have it... More

This is a typical Greek restaurant too much on menu with all being good but nothing outstanding. The restaurant is very lovely to look at, the service is fine and they give separate checks. The lamb has a rather strong flavor bordering toward mutton but not bad. The salads are a little wilted on the edges. The portions are very... More

Now when we go on an occasional weekend date (which is a rarity with kids, so we make sure we are not taking chances at our restaurant choice, LOL!!) ,... More

This is the second time for us at this restaurant (last time Nov/12). We were there at peak time Saturday nite, yet the restaurant honored our reservation and were seated within 10 min of arrival..The place was jammed full, somewhat noisy but we had no problem with conversation volume. My wife ordered the Moussaka, and I had the roasted Leg... More

Basils has great food, a wide menu and reasonable prices. Unlike many Greek restaurants the food is made fresh. Lunch or dinner it is great. My favorite for lunch is the lamb burger. Too much to eat but gotta finish it!!

Great atmosphere, which makes it worth the extra plate cost. We have never left there hungry or unhappy. Very clean, great music and the good tastes great.

The restaurant is very pretty. You are treated like you are very special. The food is fantastic. I have not had anything there that I did not like. Love the saganaki ( hope I spelled that right) and the Uzo (hope I spelled that right). All in all I would go back anytime.

We have visited Basils on a regular basis since they opened. However, we find ourselves visiting less and less. What had been a very consistent excellent dining experience has been inconsistent. We have since fallen out of love. Wine: appears they no longer have the wonderful house cabernet and push the more expensive bottles. Calamari is as good but not... More
