My wife and I had a very nice dinner at Sweet Basil on Moody. The baked Gouda appetizer was not only tasty and with eye appeal, but also quite generously portioned. We split it and could not finish all the greens. It easily can be shared among 3 and maybe 4 diners as an app. Our entrees were also delicious and of generous size. The drinks were good, and the drink menu is interesting. We could not manage desert, so we took one home: tiramisu. It was a bit of a disappointment; not up to others in the area. The ambiance was eclectic and inviting, with an interesting international music playlist in the background, complementing the ambiance. The wait staff was competent and pleasant and around when needed. AS advertised on their web site, the place is handicapped accessible, which we require. Overall, a very nice evening out.

We were a party of 7 celebrating a birthday. Our server was fabulous, attending to our needs promptly. The food was delicious with very generous portions. This was our first time at this location and we all said we would definitely return.

Excellent meal, generous portions and reasonable pricing. I am so particular when it comes to my drinks and they made an outstanding Cosmo. Interior decor takes you to another place, kind of tropical, exotic and city like at the same time. Wait staff and service great!.
