text: Totally forgot to review Basil We hit up the bar area for a CMYE back in early November Yes and I just get around to writing the review now Only four months not as bad as reviewing my wedding venue a scant years after it happens rightnnNonetheless Basil is a hip place Even the valets are cool letting you take advantage of their services before they actually open up for the evening I just wish that they were complimentary I would prefer you called me thrifty as in I like that he saves his money to tip the valet rather than what a tightwad not wanting to valet when the appetizers are free during happy hour but you make the call When you go a block in almost any direction and valet is free it makes for a rough comparisonnnAlso being across from the cemetery is pretty rough But the atmosphere and the staff do make up for it Once you are inside it is very easy to forget about the graves across the street The food helps too of course Is it more than other places Perhaps but it is probably worth it
