" Although Sweet Basil has its moments of brilliance, my latest visit was rather underwhelming. I had high hopes for the eggplant involtini, but it was overly rich and lacking in freshness. The bread with pesto was definitely a highlight, but the overall experience didn’t feel worth the price. I wonder if it was just an off night in the kitchen. I might give it a second chance if I'm in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not what I expected. The ambiance is nice with an eclectic design theme, but the food was a miss. My seafood risotto had a strange aftertaste, and the service didn’t help either, as we waited too long for our drinks. I am a firm believer in giving places a second attempt; perhaps it was a one-off experience for the kitchen and the staff. Until then though, I can’t recommend this place yet. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sweet Basil has earned my respect after a memorable dinner a week ago. The calamari was nicely seasoned while the lasagna was a perfect shareable portion. The ambience adds to the experience that’s perfect for any occasion. I wish the service were a bit faster, but overall, it was a great outing. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great time at Sweet Basil! The pasta was delicious and the dishes were generously portioned. I ordered the lamb shank and it melted in my mouth. The ambiance provided a lovely backdrop for our dinner. The only letdown was the drink service; it took a while for our cocktails to arrive. Overall, I would still recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every dish we've tried at Sweet Basil has been fantastic! I've particularly enjoyed the gnocchi and ravioli - both are modern takes on the classics. The restaurant has a unique vibe, and the cocktail menu is impressive! Just be prepared for a lively atmosphere. Service has always been excellent during my visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sweet Basil is a delightful restaurant! It's a wonderful escape from the everyday hustle. I was taken back by the unique decor and excellent service. The honey-balsamic Brussels sprouts were to die for! I had the seafood linguine and thoroughly enjoyed every bite, though the portion was a tad small for my liking. Overall, fantastic experience, highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had a visit to Sweet Basil and it was quite an experience. The decor is unique and attractive, but the food didn't quite meet my expectations. While the garlic bread was solid, my main course, a carbonara, fell flat and was overly salty. The service was friendly, but a bit slow for a weekday dinner. I might consider giving it another go in hopes of a better meal next time. " (*Curated Review*)
