    Overall a pleasant dining experience. Was a huge fan of Bayou before it closed and Basement is the successor restaurant and the menu features some of the Bayou classics in addition to new exciting dishes. Looking forward to returning soon!

    Wonderful food & decor. Service could have been more attentive but it was very busy. The only thing I would change is the noise level.. It is very noisy.
