"I'm going to round up to 4 stars, because I don't quite think it's a 3 star review. We had just seen a matinee at the Papermill and I've been told that Basilico does a mean Baked Alaska, so we had an early dinner here. We had a reservation at 5:45pm but they were able to seat us at 5:15pm, which was super awesome. The inside is quite large and it's a pretty romantic spot. We opted to split 2 appetizers and an entrée, since their portions looked pretty big. We had the carpaccio and the octopus, which were both fantastic. I loved the octopus, it was so tender and the dressing they tossed it in was acidic and refreshing. We had the braised short ribs with saffron risotto as our main and it was just OK the risotto was kind of dry and the short ribs didn't have enough sauce with it. I, of course, got the Baked Alaska, and X had their Souffle of the day, which was Banana. The Baked Alaska was also just OK, it wasn't much like other Baked Alaska's that I've had and the ice cream was super stiff and frozen. The souffle though, was absolutely amazing, and I would highly recommend getting their souffle. Service was attentive without being overbearing and we felt well taken care of. It looks like a very popular pre theater spot, so make sure you make reservations!"
