    This place is a hidden gem off the beaten path offering a warm family environment and food as if it was coming out of my mom's kitchen in the 1970's. The hostess, Linda, was warmly welcoming and our server, Rob, was friendly, accommodating and provided outstanding table service.

    Our young Italian Waiter was outstanding! He went overboard to make our special night outstanding. It was my wife's birthday and with his help he made it more than special. Basil has always been our place for special nights, but with this young man, and !our best meal ever!, to serve us made it work. Thank you,thank you. Gene Wallace

    I ordered one of the specials which was a delicious pork chop prepared with Italian seasonings, breadcrumbs and banana peppers. It was cooked perfectly, very tender and moist. It was served with red pepper risotto and asparagus. The wait staff is very personable and attentive. I definitely will recommend Basil to all my friends.
