We had a lovely time at Basil's. Wonderful service for adults and our baby! Our baby loved the decor of the main dining room and enjoyed sharing a laugh or two with our server. The restaurant specially gave a side of grilled vegetables for the baby so she enjoys the meal as well! Loved everything about this place, warmth, friendliness, food and ambiance.

Food was very flavorful although my lamb was pretty dry. Our server only checked the table when our courses came out, so I wasn’t able to ask them to fix my issue. For the price it just wasn’t worth it for me.

The fun of having good food was taken out by the worst service we have had. In 2 hours we just got served starters and our drinks. In general, no one looked to be in control, few tables folks got up and walked away with the slooooow service. Proxes was a rip off, , taking advantage to fleece customers using Valentine Course as an excuse. What do you expect when the owner(lady) has swigs of wine herself, right in front of all the waiting customers. And who charges 3% on $250 on top of 20% gratuity included (Valentine package supposedly) It’s a page right out of Gordon Ramsey’s Kichen Nightmares. STAY AWAY, not worth your time or money .

Came here for Valentine’s Day! The ambiance was nice aside from the telephone ringing every few minutes on loud volume. There was a pre set, 4 course meal and the food was okay but way overpriced. Felt like I was eating the same food from the regular menu but it was double the price just because it was Valentine’s Day. Would visit again but not on a holiday with those inflated prices.
