Give it a try...You'll love it. – My wife and I were greeted with smiles and were seated promptly by the host. We went with the chef's recommendation and were extremely impressed. We give the food, service and romantic atmosphere an A+, and will dine with Basil's again in the near future.
Wonderful evening at Basil's! – The food and service was excellent! Basil's is perfect for a romantic dining experience. Highly recommended for an evening in downtown Minneapolis.
Special Event – I took a coworker here for her retirement lunch and what a disappointment. The food was average (for a restaurant of their reputation) but the service was horrible. We waited a long time for our check and I finally asked the manager to get it for us. He informed the waitress to bring it. She in turn poked her head from around a corner and yelled, "you guys don't want desert?" We were NOT impressed and our guest of honor did not leave with the memory I had hoped for her. We got better service from the busboy!
Location vs. Food – For a special lunch we decided to take our out-of-town guest to the IDS Crystal Court on a Sunday afternoon. The restaurant was empty when one other table left after our 12:15 arrival. We did get a patio seat overlooking the Crystal Court and it was a quiet relaxing spot. The food, though, was lackluster. Large portions, yes, but low on taste. I had the salmon patty sandwich and it was served on a huge bun, with stone hard tomatoes and a pile of fries that were tough within minutes.

MTM Knew something – Breakfast 2/7/2004. Seated at the Mary Tyler Moore table (See the opening of MTM show for visual reference) out of ignorance. Menu had some fresh twists on the old breakfast standbys (Eggs Benedict on wild rice cakes) and it was refreshing to get doting service on a slow Saturday morning. Fresh items abound and good coffee, highly recommended for Breakfast.
Stay Away – I took my date there for a nice romantic dinner on Valentine's Day. We were seated promptly and then the madness started. It took 20 min. for our waitress to take our order and another 25 min. to get our 1st drinks. Our waitress forgot our appetizers. We asked for a manager and told him our feelings; he smiled and walked away without so much as an apology. The attitudes of both the server and the manager were appalling. The overall experience was horribly unforgettable.
Not Good at All – I was not impressed. The poultry is dry, the freshness of the seafood in the gumbo is SUSPECT. Avoid Basil's. Have a burger at McDonalds instead
quick and tastey – the service was outstanding, it was busy but the staff seemed to accomodate everyone with ease. but the best part about my experience was the food. i will be back sooner than later.
excellent – The food is great. Location is very convenient, because we can access it via skyway.
