After hearing good things about Basil, a co-worker and I decided to pop in for lunch.
We were greeted the second we walked in, seated and given waters. This is almost unheard of in Calgary's bustling restaurants, so it made a big impact.
I ordered the lemongrass chicken vermicelli and my co-worker got the steak pho. Our dishes were served literally a minute after we ordered! The food was extremely fresh and delicious.
The only reason I'm taking off a star is the noise level. It was a bit difficult to hear my co-worker over the crowd.
We didn't have to wait for the bill as they had everything ready for us up at the till.
This is a great place for lunch-time eats if you're in the NE. Definitely a must-have.
