Basis has an interesting and ecclectic menu, which apparently is ever-changing. It seemed to me that they try to put poblanos in anything and everything... I'm a fan of poblanos.\n\nI ordered the fresh fish sandwich. The fish that day was tilapia. It was served as a burger with a nice piece of almost-blackened tilapia along with tomatoes, onions, lettuce, the \"chef's sauce\", and a big fat pickle. Normally I would be wary of anything with a generic name like the \"chef's sauce\", but after reading the rest of the menu I figured I was in good hands. It was delicious. The bun appeared large, but was soft enough to compliment (rather than take over) the rest of the sandwich. The sweet potato fries that arrived with my order were delightful- a little crispy on the outside, a little soft on the inside.\n\nWe ordered a creme brulee for dessert. The custard was cool, but the sugar on top was still warm from the mini-blow torch caramelization. It was delicious.\n\nThe atmosphere was laid back. Great for conversation. While the decor is nice, I did not feel out of place in my jeans and t-shirt.\n\nI'll be back to try the potatoes au gratin with poblanos, the mahi mahi, and the spicy brownie dessert. They had an interesting wine list as well."^^ . . "0"^^ . "0"^^ .
