" Had a pretty good experience overall. The flavor was fantastic in the meals, though I feel they could work on portions for the price. Everything tasted fresh, but I left a bit hungry. I'd come back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cool Basil has become one of my favorite spots. The service is always prompt, and the food is consistently fresh. Their Thai iced tea is one of the best I’ve had, just the right blend of sweetness and creaminess. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dine-in experience was superb! The staff were genuinely nice and made us feel welcome. I tried their Lobster Roll, which was surprisingly good. Prices were reasonable too! This place is a hidden gem; I will be returning soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The sushi selection is decent but is mostly imitation crab. I would have appreciated more authentic options. Still, tastes good! Service was friendly, and we enjoyed sitting in the booth. I'd visit again, just for their other menu items. " (*Curated Review*)
