We had reservations for eight, and we weren’t even acknowledgedMultiple families around us we’re taking care of, and we never even received our drink orderSeem like they were more focused on their LGBTQ lifestyle than taking care of a normal family who just wanted to have a nice EasterI wouldn’t send my worst enemy to that restaurant!!If you enjoy being treated, like garbage, come to this restaurant

We made a reservation and was promptly seated on time. Our food came out nearly an hour later - our server was sweet and attentive and stopped to inform us that it wouldn't be much longer several times. We ordered bruschetta (which was delicious), a steak burger, and a fried fish special. The burger was missing several ingredients and lacked any flavor and the fries were cold, overdone, and tasted burnt. The fish was good but the coleslaw they came with had sat out long enough that it was warm. The atmosphere and service was great, but the food was just not, and was such a huge let down.

We’ve visited 3 times now for crab legs. The past two times have been awful: Cold, freezer-burnt, chewy, grey and nasty. Service was slow, table wasn’t bussed, etc. I didn’t review the first bad experience we had here, came again to give it another shot and it was worse.

This is a date night or family "nice dinner" staple for us. We love supporting local and we are rarely disappointed at Basil's. The menu frequently rotates at least 2-3 new things if not more, while somehow managing to keep my favorites: the salmon, bbq ribs, and JF burger are all recommended! Market toss salad is also a winner for lunch or dinner. Add the chicken! This experience was slightly different. We sat down in a Thursday night at 5:30 with a party of 3. Very attentive service soon diminished as the restaurant loaded up to capacity (almost) shortly after 6:00. Lots of younger (under 40) diners with tables of 6 and 8 common. We are in our younger 40s so it was nice to see groups frequenting Basil's instead of a franchise chain. This was not our servers fault, to be clear. She was simply overwhelmed with tables and larger ones at that. It was to the point where glasses were so dry and for 15+ minutes that my 8 year old son was eating ice because he was so thirsty. I was on my way to the bar for self service refills when our server finally noticed and RAN for the water pitcher. We will give it another try... but ownership without Todd seems different.

Steaks were very overdone for medium, salmon under cooked it was like sushi. Fried green tomatoes were great.

Love the place. Good food and drinks. Bit pricey but would definitely visit again.
The FOOD was absolutely TOP TIER! Hands down to the chefs as well as the service and atmosphere. After living in Southern California for 10 years coming back to Ohio was an adjustment (foodie wise). In the two years I have been back in Ohio Basils has by far been the best I have experienced in the Shelby/Miami county area. Please do yourself a favor and treat yourself! I had the Spinach/shrimp stuffed salmon with gnocchi (packed with flavor and shareable) and the fried green tomatos appetizer. Along with my meal I had a well-crafted Long Island with Grey Goose Vodka....just a chefs kiss!

I had not been to Basils in a long time, I remember it being very good. We had dinner here last night and it was a huge disappointment. The service was terrible, I could hear fighting in the kitchen between the cook and server. The food was terrible. I was sick last night from what I ate. Never again.

My GF and I stopped for lunch and both had the Soup and Scoop. Most excellent! The Chicken Salad was amazing and the Tomato Bisque was creamy and great tasting. What was surprising was the fried pita chips for the scoops. Never had them before and didn't know what I was missing. I could have eaten a bowl full. The place is a Gem in Troy.
