"I would like to thank you for the pleasant service and delicious food. The owners are so nice and it was such a great evening! Today my friends and I had dinner together. Our choice for dinner: Sauteed Eggplant, topped with crushed walnuts and caramelized onion with pita bread. Zereshk Polo and Zereshk Polo with tofu. I took a small piece of tofu to try and the taste pleasantly surprised me, it was delicious! My vegetarian friend also really liked it.

I had my daughter?s bridal shower at Basil. The outdoor deck was the perfect venue. People raved about the food and the service was excellent. Chef Ray and his wife, Ari were amazing to work with. They treated us like family.

This was our first visit to Basil's and it won't be our last. The food and service was excellent. We had 2 appetizers sautéed eggplant and pita for 6. My main dish was zereshk polo. It was delicious. They have an outside area in the back that opens in warmer weather that is very nice.

Disappointed in this place went to lunch the appetizers we wanted were not ready yet so we were not able to order them according to the waitress. The salads we got with the grilled chicken were not good at all. One and done place and a little pricey for a small salad with chicken, will not return.
