I can't tell you how much we miss Basil! Please try again somewhere else with some menu highlights from Basil. We miss the neighborhood feel of Basil - perfect for any night, not just a special night. now that Maia is closed, what is next for this restaurant group? I can’t tell you how much we miss Basil!

My 3 yr old enjoyed the smilie face pizza, I had the warm frizze salad (delicious)and cheddar soup (filling and again delicious). Was not greeted very warmly, I don't know if the woman said anything other than "Just the 2 of you?". She then walked away without looking back to see if I was following. Which I wasn't because my son was picking up his webkins off the floor. The waitress was very nice and attentive. Overall a very nice experience. Had a very pleasant lunch today.

My wife and I like to hit many of the main line restaurants and out of all of them we prefer Basil. We even prefer it to Nectar. The bar has a great atmosphere with television but only one so it doesn't dominate the room. Staff was very curtious and respectful. My wife and I along with friends and family will continue to go here. We also recommend Basil quite frequently to people we speak to looking for a good restaurant in the area.

We both enjoyed the food, and although the atmosphere was business, the waiter was very professional, and the food was beyond what we had expected. All in All, a very enjoyable evening. We will definitely make a return visit, and hopefully enjoy . My Husband and I were recently guests of a private party and it was my 2nd time at Basil’s.

I think the 'local-chain' comment is a fair one. Overall the atmosphere is nice, although it can get loud in the main dining room. Solid beer and wine selections with enough on the menu for the pickiest eaters. I can see some people loving and some hating this place. I can honestly say I like it and will be back again.
