    Per usual we had a wonderful meal last night and introduced Basil to the couple we dined with and they agreed! Our server was great and brought our drinks over so quickly followed by an appetizer of chilli glazed calamari which was so good. Two of us ordered duck, mine with the twice stuffed potato, another got the swordfish special which presented with such a thick piece of fish which my friend loved and devoured! Another got salmon and was very pleased. We all shared slices of key lime pie and the special pecan pie aka mode both of which were yummy! The only criticism I would make is the bread served was cold and a bit on the dry side. Perhaps a more interesting and warm bread would be nice. Make sure to have reservations as this place is jumping on weekends with long walk in wait times. Basil has become our favourite go to in the area!

    We arrived early for our late reservation. Sat down at the bar and had a drink. Before long they found a table for us. Fantastic service! Food was great.

    The waitstaff are amazing - from your greeting at the door with hostess, to the awesome waiters and waitress. Big shout out to " Beth" she knows menu so well , attentive but not hovering , very personable and made our evening. Specials are the way to go -- great food. Never disappointed.
