Basil is a nice restaurant with cool decor, but the tables at the back wall are WAY too close together and unfortunately we were seated next to a drunk foul-mouthed group.
However that didn't stop my enjoyment of the wonderful, flavorful Pud See Ew with shrimp. Absolutely delicious. My BF got the Pad Thai which he really liked, but I really disliked the taste of. We will go back, but hopefully have better neighbors.
I had come from working outside and was not dressed like the rest of the Friday night crowd, but the service was still outstanding.
