WE LOVE BASIL! Great staff, quality food, good portions, and amazing experience. Excellent gluten free pasta. We have been twice this week. Their reviews on here do not reflect how good the restaurant is. 5 stars. Highly recommend. THANK YOU BASIL

We were blown away with this place. We enjoyed it so much we came back again the next night. The food is so good, very unique in taste and presentation I would call it elevated "Mexican" food although don't expect what some people call "traditional" Mexican food. Great gluten free options, awesome drinks, great service from everyone and the hot chocolate after dinner drinks are such a nice touch we couldn't wait to get them again. We looked around at other restaurants in the area that all seem to be very much the same, this place was not the same in a good way it was very unique and delicious.

This place delivers for both gluten and gluten-free lovers. I got the ginger carrot muffin and the chocolate cookie both of which are gluten-free and was pleasantly surprised by how good they both were. I actually preferred the gluten-free pastries over the gluten cookie we also got. Next time we want to try the pizza and almond croissant which we which they were out of because we came at the end of the day. I will say I was really happy that they had options left so close to closing because sometimes it can be very disappointing to show up at the end of the day at a bakery and there’s nothing left. So kudos to them for baking enough for customers at all hours of visiting.
