    Dinner salad
    Kathleen L.

    The restaurant was pretty empty... five tables dining when we walked in. The restaurant has definitely been highly upgraded since the last restaurant was here! Love the decor and all the beautiful tables and booths. Our waitress was really sweet and took great care of us. There are daily specials on the back page of the menu. Today was the chicken fried steak dinner with a choice of potato, broccoli, and a soup or dinner salad. You also get free ice cream or rice pudding. I picked the loaded baked potato, salad with blue cheese dressing, and the rice pudding. My husband ordered the corned beef hash with 2 eggs. It came with hashed browns, and he chose pancakes for his side... wow they were huge like a vinyl record... and most importantly very tasty! We will definitely be back and try something new!

    Breakfast for dinner! So amazing and huge had a ton of leftovers! Best chocolate chip pancakes ever! Update: Went back and tried the banana bread foster desert...make sure you bring at least 3 friends to share!

    I ordered my ribeye steak medium rare, but it was cooked well done. The texture of the steak is a little tough, and it is underseasoned.

    Chicken Parmesan Pasta Dinner
    Michelle D.

    We came here on Friday night for dinner. There were quite a few people in the restaurant so was a good sign! My husband had a 12 inch pizza which was a little crispy but he loved. My daughter had the strawberry stuffed French toast, which she really enjoyed. I had the chicken Parmesan that was much to be desired. I would've sent it back to the kitchen, but just asking about the chicken before ordering put me off to say anything about my meal. The chicken Parmesan was very thin and it felt like it was fried twice; It was very dry. You could only really eat the center of it and I didn't really care for the pasta sauce, it taste burned like I got the bottom of the pot . I will definitely not be returning again. Also, since I didn't eat hardly any of my meal, the waitress brought over a box which I felt obligated to take my leftovers home in. I drove to the end of the strip mall and threw it in the garbage.

    Eggs???

    The service is ok and ambiance is decent. But this place was trash. I got pancakes with sugar and I usually don't like powdered sugar so I asked for pancakes without. They came back 20 seconds with pancakes that clearly they just wiped it off. Really bad move. The eggs terrible, the blt my wife ordered, equivalent to eating paper. The reason I gave 1 star is I was seated fast and the food came out quick. On second thought.....that should have been a sign not to eat here.

    Cheap ingredients for your coffee and cheap coffee as well.

    Sweet Basil Cafe Saturday afternoon about 3:45, One large group at the back of the restaurant otherwise beside myself and one other couple the diner is dead. There are at least 7 waitstaff, I've sat myself at the bar ordered a cappuccino, ribeye steak and eggs w/hashbrowns, and French toast bananas foster style with their "homemade" banana bread. Let's just say after everything was said and done it was not worth it. One of the line cooks was eating while on the line, the syrup bottle I was furnished had dog hair on it. The food was bland and unseasoned. The ribeye was cooked to order, if a little undercooked leaving the inside a bit purple rather than red and again unseasoned. If I'm paying for a steak that I know will cost $25 I had better get a good steak. The hashbrowns were the worst I've had in a long while. I'm guessing that they cooked while they still had a lot of water in them and the length of time to cook them turned the crispy texture to plastic. It was a horrible mixed hash. The waitress was "slammed" with two tables. The banana bread French toast was also bland and dense. The pieces being one inch thick cuts which would have been nice if it was flavorful. The bananas that were sliced on top were green and the pecans were coated in a cinnamon sugar mix. This would have been nice if they were glazed which they were not. So the bite of the French toast was a mix of a nice pecan crunch mixed with a harsh sugar crunch reminiscent of rock candy. The syrup was bottled and warm, but ever so slightly covered in dog hair. A quick glance around the diner and it's evident that there are a plethora of cheap knockoff brands for the ingredients down to the dollar store silverware. The only upside was the Cholula hot sauce to season my plastic hash browns, eggs, and steak. Of all the items I received the cappuccino was passable for a good coffee. There are tv screens around the bar that advertise the menu and local establishments nothing else while I was there, this was yet again another missed opportunity to wow your guests and it falls flat. At least put up your coffee menu! The appearance is clean yet while I waited for the waitress to return a fly decided to venture near my plate, it's December! Upon leaving the establishment the manager asked how everything was and I said not so good. Trying to be as discreet as possible I explained the situation, because she asked. In the middle of my explaining she phoned the owner and then put them on speaker phone. So now I'm retelling everything again for the person on the phone and when I get to the bottle having dog hair that's when I'm interrupted again with excuses. The manager excuses herself again. She comes back to me and says why didn't I say something so she could have them cook it again. To which I responded why would I want you to remake your bland food. That's when the conversation went south first with her pleading for me to give her and her crew another shot with free food to boot no less. That I responded to in kind with, "Why would I want your free bland food?!" I told her I'm not interested you have a problem and you need to fix it. She says I'm trying to work with you and you don't want me to fix it. Then she goes on about how her and her husband were restaurant owners. Now he's dead it's hard work... blah, blah, excuses. I told her I don't care if he's dead and none of that matters. Which is the problem here and why I'm writing this review. There's a problem and it starts with the top of the chain on down. That woman became emotionally unhinged in a situation where I was looking for her to do her job, not bribe me with free food! When I told her I would absolutely not take her free food and write my review she went off! Told me to go ahead and write my review and destroy the restaurant. That's absolutely ludicrous that you would think one reviewer could possibly do that, but the fact that you as the manager couldn't see any other way to resolve the situation proves that you shouldn't be the one leading that ship! Her big attempt at solving the situation was free food! After that she dissolved into maniacal phrase spasms of having a merry Christmas interspersed with my destructive power that I wielded with my words in a review. I submit to you that she with her own actions provided the ammunition, the weapon, and the location of where the ordinance would fall. That is perfectly placed on her shoulders. Do yourselves a favor and completely avoid this lunatic and this establishment it's not worth keeping mediocre places like this afloat when there are better places. The bill was almost $50 before the tip of which I was going to leave $4 for the waitress who helped me. To which the manager said take back your money I will tip her. So I got to keep my tip and she made her money on terrible food, what a win for your establishment. I came because of the reviews on Yelp that said the place was good. Maybe that was just the free food talking.

    Hubby and I had just returned back home after a family emergency issue in Japan, and wanted a good…read moreol' breakfast. We headed here as we knew it was a small, local chain and had it on the "list" of places to try. When we walked in, harsh 5000k lighting greeted us. I'm not a fan; it causes "floaties" in my eyes. So frankly, that wasn't great. Briana's - a quick reminder that restaurants should be warm and inviting- using harsh, cold lighting does "not" count and was the reason for the sole demerit. We ordered food - i had a denver omelette with toast and crepes - and it was great, seriously. Service was fairly nice; the waitress was pleasant, the seating was new and very comfy, and except for the lighting? We'd return for sure!

The French toast side is out of this world. Perfect crisp outside and just the right texture inside. Service is where they could do better. I don't know if our waitress was having a bad day. She did not answer our thank yous. When we asked for syrup for the pancakes she told us we will bring it to you. Second time was exactly the same coming to this restaurant. I just recently came in town and was craving their French toast. Our waitress literally only showed up our table maybe twice. Really no interaction. Just took the orders and that was it. The food is great service no

    I'm writing to share my recent experience dining, and unfortunately, it was one of the most…read moredisappointing restaurant visits I've had in a long time. First, the food lacked any seasoning -- no salt, no flavor, no care in preparation. The food should at least be properly cooked and seasoned. Secondly, my mother has a caffeine allergy. She politely asked for a to-go coffee cup with hot water and lemon so she wouldn't risk contamination from an unwashed cup that previously held coffee. Instead of accommodating a simple allergy-related request, your staff (with management approval) refused unless she paid for the cup. That level of insensitivity toward an allergy is unacceptable. On top of that, I ordered a cup of hot water with lemon and honey and was charged $3 -- the same as if I had ordered tea, even though I didn't ask for a tea bag. Charging customers full price for a basic cup of hot water and two lemon slices is unreasonable and frankly petty. I could understand a small charge for honey, but $3 is excessive. I obviously asked for the tea bag at this point. It's clear that more effort is being put into pushing sales of alcohol, ice cream, and coffee flights than into serving quality food or listening to patrons' needs. If more attention were given to the basics -- good food and decent managerial service (the server was at minimum okay)-- you wouldn't have to nickel-and-dime customers for hot water or disregard allergy concerns. I will not be returning, and I plan to share this experience publicly so others are aware.

I'm taking a star off because the coffee flight was disappointing. It was super cute, but lacked flavor. They need to work on using better tasting coffee. We' would still return as the food was delicious and the prices were fair.
