| - In all this time here we finally got around to going Thai at Basil Thai.
The interior is huge. I could envision parties or special occasion events being easily accommodated. And it is more elegant atmosphere than most other of the Thai restaurants in the Charlotte area.
Menu does cover the waterfront so-to-speak, offering lots of variety. Curries are only three, but we had the red which was just fine, loaded with beef (you can have other meats) and plenty of sauce to get soaked up by the rice. The other two curries are green (with eggplant and green peas) and Masaman, which has potatoes.
Noodle dishes, stir fries, salads (that looked very large as they were carried by for other tables), soups (we had the yummy chicken coconut = excellent) and specials (which we highly recommend you try).
Spice is not a major part of their preparation, even if you ask for it to be spicy. Instead, you get a selection of condiments, like the powder that is used, tiny REALLY HOT red peppers in liquid (?) and a smushed salsa of red peppers what goes really well with most all dishes and is tolerable heat-wise.
Nice wine list with plenty of by-the-glass selections. Nice seafood items that are unique.
Service excellent.
A pleasure to come here.
