"I recall this place opening not too long ago, so I was eager to try it out and see how the place was doing. One thing I do love about a cafe is the aspect of all day breakfast, and Sweet Basil provides such! The menu has TONS of options so you are sure tofind something you can enjoy. The staff are very friendly and the environment is very home-like and clean. One thing you arecertain of getting here are excellent sized portions of food, you are not going to leave hungry! The food is very satisfying andthe ingredients are fresh and well prepared. Overall a great experience! HOWEVER. I do wish to add a side note. While I wasvisiting, seated at the table next to me was a man who claimed to be the owner. He had a lady guest with him and the duo hadordered at least five or six full plates of food, their entire table was loaded with food! They merely poked at the food,laughed, chatted, and just left, leaving all of the nearly untouched food to just be picked up by the waitresses and thrownaway. Sure, you may be the owner, but it takes a certain level of arrogance and disrespect to just have your staff work hard tomake all of that food to merely impress someone just to throw it all away. It could have been taken come, or just have it boxedup and hand it to one of the hungry panhandlers out there. With so many hungry people, food costs rising, and familiesstruggling, it takes a certain level of I 'm too important to care to remotely justify this owner 's wasteful actions."

"went for brunch on 9/17/23 waited for 20 minutes with several seats available. finally sat and waited another 15 minutes before water was brought to the table. I ordered the Chicken and waffles and my guest ordered taffy apple French toast and cheesy potatoes. we also got 2 cups of coffee. I had to go to another open table to grab sugar, as I was not going to wait for the staff to bring it to me. after about 10 minutes our food came and i was actually surprised at how fast it came out, but then came to realize why. my chicken and waffles plate was shocking i received 3 john soules chicken tenders for kids these were barely 2 inches by 1 inch processed chicken w/ rib meat and the most flavorless waffles you could imagine. they had bits of bacon in them but were over powered by the taste of flour and baking soda....... no thanks. my guests french toast was barely soaked in french toast batter as they came out drier than the Sahara and still very much BREAD at that point. however its saving grace is the apple cinnamon compote was actually quite delicious. let me move on to the cheesy potato 's. one would think they were diced and fried. then covered with cheese. nope these were undercooked hash browns covered in store brand cheddar cheese and covered with a pot lid to sit and melt. the coffee was burnt and no refills were offered until i let our waiter know how bad the food was. at this point i was utterly disgusted with the whole visit that i didn 't want anything. i was directed to tell the owner how bad the food was because it was his choice for the menu. upon speaking with him he said he was only the manager. i explained everything in a very calm and even tone and was very respectful. instead of him saying oh i 'm sorry you didn 't like the food is there something we could do better for your next visit like most people do. he said in an angered and bitter tone, we serve people this food all the time and no one else complains. maybe this just isn 't the restaurant for you. please leave. rude as could be. i will never be coming back to this place and i will be telling everyone i know on social media to not come there either."
