Basil's Restaurant & Tapas Bar

Being a customer for over 10 years I love this place! Consistency of the food preparations along with Chef's specials for lunch and dinner, either you eat light or feel adventures to taste diffident tapas or going for the full meal - delicious and authentic experience, grate to eat solo at the patio or at the beautiful bar, or celebrate with huge crew - Definity my and friend's go to place. Elegant but cozy at the same time with cute fireplace, flowers, and seasonal decor. Weekends live music is a special treat. Great brunch on weekends as well with full menu available if you don't feel like eggs or French toast (crabcake benedict tho is to live for!)

We had very pleasant encounters with all of the employees. They were attentive to our needs and were very courteous. Instead of serving bread initially like many restaurants do, they brought out a very delicious mini pizza. That was quickly devoured. Our entrees consisted of Mediterranean chicken, North Georgia Trout, and Grilled Alaskan Salmon, all good, it was a fun visit.

Nice converted house to restaurant set-up. I describe it as fine to casual dining because on the far inside the tables and atmosphere resemble fine dining, then there's a middle area that's covered but patio-iish which still has the fabric table cloths and napkins, then there's the gorgeous patio which is very casual. The food was good (we ordered the trio dips, toasted ravioli, lamb ribs, and Mediterranean chicken). The wine bottles are half off on Mondays and Wednesdays. I believe it's family owned so service is a tad slow but good. Only saw two workers and our server was also the host, bartender, and helped run food.

I'm trying not to be so generous with my 5 star ratings...but my experience here today absolutely deserves it. Service, ambiance and selection of food were outstanding. 2 words... Jalapeño Grits!! I'm from the south and these just may be the tastiest grits I've ever had. The art that decorated the wall mesmerized me. Definitely the made the best decision choosing this place for brunch and interested in coming back for a dinner experience.
