We have dined at Basil''s many times over the years, both for lunch/brunch and dinner. This last experience was to celebrate the birthdays of my husband and one of our friends. As always, Basil''s did not disappoint. The food, drinks, and atmosphere were all excellent. We highly recommend this Buckhead mainstay.

First, this is a beautifully tucked away location, very little traffic or other noise. Entire staff was friendly and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was Grade A. If you like Mediterranean cuisine this is the real deal. If we weren’t on our way to a concert we could’ve stayed for hours! Will definitely return.

Wonderful. Delicious food. Great for sharing. We had seven different dishes to share with four people. Cocktails and Mocktails were crafted with tremendous care and totally delicious. We have been diners here for years. We had stopped going for a while when we felt food and service had declined post pandemic…..It’s totally back to great food and service level that made us first fall in love with it a decade ago. Of course you can’t really beat eating outside on their patio on a nice evening. Wonderful Atalanta gem.

I guess I shouldn't expect too much on a weekday lunchtime. Average food, average service, only 4 other guests. All in all a very forgettable experience. Hadn't been here for a couple of years (same experience then). No need to give it a third try when there are so many more enjoyable restaurants close by. I presume evenings and weekends are what keeps this place in business.
