My new favorite restaurant I wanted to go out to dinner with hubby but not the diner or some other cookie cutter restaurant. I wanted delicious food, a relaxing atmosphere, great wait staff a memorable dining experience. Guess what?!? Basil Cafe was all that more! Loved our enthusiastic waitress, CarlaI can't wait to go back try more delicious food. Thanks Basil for making Saturdays dining experience a 10 out of 10.

I had my daughter’s bridal shower at Basil. The outdoor deck was the perfect venue. People raved about the food and the service was excellent. Chef Ray and his wife, Ari were amazing to work with. They treated us like family.

Pictured is the Caesar salad, Soltani and apple blossom. All 3 delicious, excellent food presentation. I've had my fair share of Persian food and this place does not disappoint. It was my first visit along with my girlfriend (an expert on Persian food. Small and intimate setting. Beautiful interior design. I do see future visits (interested in their pasta selection. If going for dinner, I do recommend calling ahead for reservations. Street parking only. BYOB. Friendly hostess and very helpful.
