Basil

"Atmosphere was really nice. Wonderful date night spot. Food was good, but felt kind of Americanized."

"Really enjoyed our meal here. Atmosphere, food and service were all excellent. Had a table by the window overlooking a small pond. They appeared to have outdoor seating in warmer weather. Menu was clearly labeled with gluten free options which included several appetizers and decent number of entrees. They did a great job accommodating my celiac disease. My husband and I tried the pad thai that came with chicken and shrimp and massaman beef curry. Both were excellent!"

"Update: We have been back a couple times and enjoyed every visit. This is easily our new go to for Asian cuisine. Tonight we had sweet and sour with tofu. Unfortunately didn't get a photo of the appetizer but they were great as well. Came for restaurant week and was very impressed! Interesting cocktails and the food was amazing. Don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu!"

"I have been to Basil back in the day when they were in downtown Charleston, now they move to Mt. Pleasant with better space, view, and bar upstairs. The food we order was all amazing and scrumptious. Open the kitchen so you can see how food has been cooked. And wine and cocktails were superb as well. Highly recommend!"

"If you are used to paying NY prices (ie. not much) for excellent Thai food, you are going to have an unhappy surprise when you go to Basil. It is really expensive, but it's also excellent. So, if you can get over shelling out about double what you are used to, go. Food is delicious and authentic, the ambiance is nice and the service is good. It's also family friendly. Food highlights include the masaman curry, the green curry, the tom kha soup, and the fried dumplings. They also have a lot of specialty cocktails and plenty to choose from in the wine and beer department. Parking isn't bad - getting in is challenging. We highly recommend reservations, even on a weeknight!"
