Reviews & Tips

  I have eaten here a few times the food is pretty good for the price the staff is usually super friendly except for today we went there for lunch the 1 and 3 year olds were served last! And our waitress which was a older lady was rude and acted like we were bothering her when asked for anything we got up charged a dollar for a side of ranch dressing and another dollar for a side of tarter sauce which if we knew we were being charged that for a side of dressing I could have gone without... My sister got a salad instead of a wrap she ordered and not so much as a I'm sorry for messing up your order... It wasn't even that busy being a waitress myself I was pretty disappointed in the service... We have always liked sweet basil and meet there for lunch It was very disappointing that we got such bad service for a place we have always talked highly of...

  Doesn't Sweet Basil sound like it should be a Thai resto?
  
  Well it's not, but what it IS, is a quaint and cozy restaurant that serves Americana food. Burgers, pizzas, steaks, fried seafood platters, etc..
  
  Reasonable pricing and a decent wine/beer list.
  
  The service is stellar here and the servers are so friendly!
  
  The food is wonderfully prepared and tastes great. The portion sizes are beyond generous. I'm talking HUGE!
  
  So make sure to come here hungry!

  I've eaten here a few times and the food has always been consistent. The staff is friendly and they have a great beer selection with most beer $4 and under.
  
  The garlic pizza is great.  They have a few different styles of chicken wings and they are all good.  I've also had a couple pasta dishes and the haddock Florentine.   It's all been good with no complaints at all.
  
  This is a very homey, casual restaurant with good food, great service and inexpensive prices.  If you are traveling on RT 81 in NY and need to eat when you pass Exit 14, it is worth the short trip off of 81 to Sweet Basil.

  We stopped by here on our way back to NYC from Buffalo. We did a random restaurant search and stumbled into this little town and quaint restaurant.
  
  The restaurant is in an old red house looking building. The inside is okay, not as cute or cozy as I was hoping -- just functional.
  
  I have to admit that I actually thought it was going to be a Thai food restaurant. On the west coast anything called "Sweet Basil" would be a Thai food. This is an Italian/pizza place that also has a small bar area.
  
  We came by on a Sunday when their menu is more limited so I am not sure we got a full flavor of the place. We didn't want pizza so we got pasta, sandwiches, and salads. The food was pretty darn bland. The meatball sub tasted exactly the same as the baked penne.
  
  But there were lots of locals there so maybe the pizza is good. It did look pretty inviting....
  
  Nothing to go out of your way for, but they have a great beer selection.
