The service is attentive, and the atmosphere is ideal for both romantic evenings and gatherings. While some feedback mentions issues with acoustics, the overall experience remains "outstanding" and a "hidden gem" in Buckhead.

We were hoping to love it and it was a huge disappointment. You would think with such an intimate restaurant, service would be impeccable. No real wait staff were present. 😩

Service was lacking this time. Our waiter would ask us a question then walk away before we would answer. The restaurant was not as full as it usually is, but louder than normal from one table talking obnoxiously loud. Basil’s used to be a staple of ours, the quality seems to be slipping though. Not in the food, but in service and atmosphere
