    We had the Beets Skordalia appetizer, lemon chicken w/ spinach & roasted potatoes, lamb meatballs w/ pasta, baklava, & Greek wine. Everything was delicious. Service was a bit slow because they were so busy, but we were happy told see so many people enjoying the great food & atmosphere. We have been here many times & love it.

    Good restaurant for Greek food. We’ve been there twice and enjoyed it. Also, they have a very good outdoor area that we will checkout in the summer.

    Delicious food, outstanding service. Noise level can be loud if it's busy and it's a bit pricey but well worth it for special occasions.

    We love dining at Basil’s. The food is excellent, our favorite is the Greek Lemon Chicken, and the staff is outstanding. We ask for Enrique as our server. When you dine, you will always see familiar faces, so you know it is a favorite for many.

    Great food, cocktails, and service. Recommend the baklava old fashioned. The lamb is domestic and was excellent, as were the dolmades and mousaka.

    The ambiance is very nice…date night type! I had the Mediterranean Sea Bass and it was awesome! The cocktails are very good and the service was outstanding. Maggie is a great manager and works the crowd and seems to assist her very capable staff whenever and where ever needed. Basils is becoming our go to place!

    Really enjoyed our valentines dinner at Basils. We were seated on time and our server was attentive. Service was a little slow but this was not a problem as we were not in a hurry and didn’t want to feel rushed. Saganaki appetizer, two orders of lollipop lamb chops and lemon chicken were all excellent. Cocktails were good as well. Thank you for another great dinner.
