    Great lunch.
    Joe C.

    This is a nice place to grab a quick lunch. You are have an EV and need to charge at the Hilton, this is the place to go for a drink in the meantime.

    Bunless Burger with Fries

    Dakota and Jeep made the experience at Basil's enjoyable. The Bunless Burger was moist and delicious. The salt was just right, and the cheese was melted properly. Fries were crispy, toasty, and savory. Drinks were well made as Jeep, the bartender, used to work at a fancy Casino. In terms of ambiance, the bar looks great and the spaces are clean, colorful, and vibrant! 100 % would recommend!

    Ask for Chris!

    Great divey place in town! Chris, the bartender, couldn't have been nicer and she poured some mean drinks. One of the best parts was the friendliness of the Giant's fans in the bar. As outsiders and Dodger fans, it's always a little tense going in wearing the opposing gear. Glad to report that everyone here was fantastic and beyond friendly. This is my kind of joint!

    Highly overpriced for a local place. House Chardonnay at lunch was $7.25 for a very small glass. We do not plan to return.

We had 1 server but there were 3 of them working and walking around to check on you or help you if you need anything. They had a special Super Bowl menu. We ordered: Ribs - They were decent. Came with fries, potato salad (or coleslaw). Hotdog - It was okay. I wish it were cooked more. Came with a bowl of chili (not canned), tortilla chips, and a corn muffin. From their regular menu, we ordered: The Cobb Salad - huge serving with loads of great toppings. For dessert, we tried the cherry pie. It came back warmed but it was still cold in the center. They had no problems reheating it for longer. That was nice. Pie should always have ice cream. Had to ask for that because it wasn't offered. Overall, service was decent, food was okay.

He started out decent but then seemed to lose interest in waiting his tables. We had to go ask at the bar for to-go boxes and then still waiting for our check to arrive. Luckily the food is on fire and I've had good service in the past so I know it's usually much better. Young guy just needs to focus more. We will be back...that burger was so juicy and flavorful! * Brew Burger - wagyu beef patty, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato, signature sauce on a milk bun with onion rings. * Pulled Pork Cuban swiss cheese, roasted jalapeños, pickles, caramelized onions, mayo and dijon on a roll with fries.

The sandwich was thick with the juiciest chicken. I loved the garlic fries. They were super garlicky with a crispy cheese on top. The fries are thin and crinkle cut. They were the perfect mix of crispy yet juicy. One thing to note, if you order for pickup, make sure to arrive promptly because the food can get pretty soggy otherwise. The side sauce was pretty good too. I wish there was an online substitution option though because I'd prefer something like ranch instead. This spot's prices are a touch higher compared to restaurants in the area but the quality and portions really justify it. The employees are incredibly kind. When I stopped by to pickup my order, there was an employee cleaning the outside patio who immediately stopped what she was doing to open the door for me, went inside and washed her hands before even handing me the bag. The small details like this really make the experience so much better. It is especially reassuring to see how sanitary they are here too. Despite looking a bit small from the outside, it it quite spacious and modern inside. It has that modern hipster restaurant feel. On a warm day, it would be nice to sit under their covered patio. I will be returning to try more of their menu!

Security will comstantly hit on your drunk friends and no one stops them, this is even when the women are clearly not interested. It is extremely uncomfortable. The music is awful, you have to make the best of it. But after going there for a couple months the music is simply catered to a white and latin crowd. I do not hear anything current or relevant when I am there. Me and my gf usually go there because its close and thats it. We are usually the only ones that truly dance and are the reason alot of folks said they enjoyed their time (even though they agree the music and atmosphere sucks- it looks like NY ). We have never got offered free drinks or anything complimentary for attracting a crowd or bringing friends. Everywhere else, this is usual when attracting customers for a bar. Too much staff... It is not POC friendly. I have heard almost everyone I know complain about the demographics and the bad music. I also see alot of DL men hovering by the bar in bulk so I am guessing it may be catered to them they tend to by the most drinks. I have had many friends there make the same statement. Overall, just leave this one alone and go to Islanders. More POC, more diversity in staff, no awkward fake moments with the Owner (who is as uptight as they come), and more fun people. You will likely leave aftera couple drinks.... Thats what they want. They scam and play a couple fo songs so you buy buy buy and leave without dancing or if you do its to 50 cent and Lil John like you in 8th grade Bad business.... Trust me. I dance all the time. I try to be nice to the DJs because I can't tell if their fault or the owners either way. I won't go unless I am desperate. Unfortunately, this business doesn't keep up with the times. No stars from me. Staff is creepy. If you are a drunk woman stay tf away because the bartender or security will get at you and keep bothering you all night.

    Great atmosphere and service. The owner is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.read more
