Why haven't I jumped on the Thai wagon? Mostly because I'm not a fan of peanut, coconut, or sweet flavors in Asian style dishes. Well, I do like some sweet, like honey sauces, but not a sugary sweet taste. My initial impressions of Thai food, based on limited experience, were that these flavors dominated.
At Basil, I decided to go with a wonton soup to start, for two reasons... One, it was a cold day. Two, I wanted to order something I knew I'd like just in case!

I enjoyed Basil. They have good service, generously sized portions, and they offer a vast selection, including sushi! I would not hesitate to return, even though I'm not completely sold on Thai food as a favorite yet.
I've eaten there a couple times and the service was abysmal. I'm not sure if we just went on crappy days or what! My friend and I went there for lunch one day and shared several and we asked if we could split the pot of green tea, they overtly acted irritated. We didn't need two tea pots on the table!! Also, the waiter hovered at our table almost the entire meal the last time I went and acted very bothered that we stayed an hour. I haven't been back since. Thankfully Thai food isn't my favorite ! :)
ReplyDeleteWe were one of two tables at that weekday lunch, so they couldn't really mess up service! That said, Thaif old just isn't my favorite, so I am not in a huge hurry to have more. My buddy who likes Basil a lot always gets them as takeout not dine-in, so service isn't an issue for him. :)
Delete*Thai food. Not Thaif old.
