"Basil is a quintessential Italian restaurant located in the charming town of Carmel. Situated in a cozy alcove, the restaurant offers white tablecloth service and has windows overlooking courtyard dining, creating a lovely atmosphere. Basil exceeded our expectations with its wide selection of menu choices that were tastily prepared, leading to a relaxing two-hour dining experience. We were particularly impressed by the locally sourced buffalo mozzarella appetizer, which set the stage for a delicious slow roasted beef rib entree. The wine list featured a variety of Italian vintages, adding to the authentic experience. Overall, Basil is definitely on our list of restaurants to revisit."
