There were beautiful flowers waiting for mom at the table too along with a cute card. All the staff were super friendly and wishing all the mom’s there a Happy Mother’s Day as well. Such a wonderful experience!

    The hubby and I hadn’t been to Basil in a while (probably pre-Covid!) so he chose it for his birthday dinner. We had classic gin martinis and salt and pepper calamari to start, then ordered sushi and sashimi dinners. The cocktails were perfect and the food was fresh and flavorful. Very nice quality fish used in the sushi. Melissa (meow!) was a fabulous server in an old-school yet Gen-Z sort of way. (If you remember the waitresses at Esber’s or The Crystal Light, you know what we mean!) She made sure that the timing of the appetizers, salad and entrees was perfect and even put up with my hubby’s corny jokes with grace. We definitely will not wait so long to come back. Thanks for a lovely meal!
