Basil Seasonal Dining

Basil is a quintessential Italian restaurant located in the charming town of Carmel. Situated in a cozy alcove, the restaurant offers white tablecloth service and has windows overlooking courtyard dining, creating a lovely atmosphere. Basil exceeded our expectations with its wide selection of menu choices that were tastily prepared, leading to a relaxing two-hour dining experience. We were particularly impressed by the locally sourced buffalo mozzarella appetizer, which set the stage for a delicious slow roasted beef rib entree. The wine list featured a variety of Italian vintages, adding to the authentic experience. Overall, Basil is definitely on our list of restaurants to revisit.

This charming restaurant in Carmel is possibly family-owned. The food here is fantastic - you can really taste the quality and expertise in their pasta, pesto, and bread. The ingredients, such as the pesto, bread, and burrata, taste incredibly fresh. I loved the cozy atmosphere and the delicious food. The staff were very kind and attentive. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area! The portion sizes are also generous.

Service was awful haven’t waited to ask for salt for so long in a restaurant before. They made a big mistake in the bill and overcharged. It took them a while to admit it. For an awful service, they charged 22% gratuity. Never coming back to this place. Paying a bill of 500$ was painful for not so good food and for such terrible service.

This was way overpriced for worse than average Italian food (my dish was even missing salt and the basic ingredients they listed in the menu). And the service was bad. The bill was wrong and they still added 22% gratitude! It was very disappointing.
