On Friday evening, my friends and I had purchased a $25 gift certificate on line and decided to visit Sweet Basil. This is a restaurant that I personally had been to on numerous occasions, in fact, had my fathers funeral luncheon there a year ago. We entered the restaurant and were seated at a table for five. Our waitress, who... more

Sweet Basil in Queensbury New York was one of the best Italian meals I have ever eaten and I should know because my family is Italian and I live in a very Italian neighborhood in new york city. The price may be a little to expensive for some but it is worth it. The portions were huge( I actually shared... more

We purchased a $25 gift certicate on Restaurant.com to this restaurant so we figured we would give it a try. We made online reservations through Restaurant.com for them for 6pm. We arrived at 5:30pm and they did not have our reservation - that was strike one - but since they were not booked we got our table ok so really... more

The place smelled old as we walked in or was it a dog that peed on the carpet that stunk...not sure. Food was ok. Large portions. Much of it stayed on the plate. Service was unfriendly and certainly our server was not the sharpest knife in the drawer. People that work there must charge you for a smile. Someone, I... more

I live in a small area so I understand what small town people think is good food, so I was surprised to hear people at my table talking about how good everything was, but seriously it was bad. We have a term for this "Townie Good", because these people haven't experienced good food so they have nothing to compare it... more

The food is excellent with great selection. The people who work their are warm and friendly. There is a tremedous salad bar with something for everyone. The selection on menu will impress you and prices are inexpensive especially if you get there before 6:30 and take advanage of the early bird specials. This restaurant will have you coming back the... more

I have never bothered to write a review before. This experince forced me warn others. This was without a doubt the worst meal my family has ever experienced. I understand we were in vacation spot and wasn't expecting much. My expectations were down graded once I arrived and saw the decor. It was dark and dingy and hasn't been updated... more

Have eaten there many times, never have had a bad meal. The chicken parm is excellent as the penne with vodka sauce. You can't ask for a better salad bar either. One night there was a problem with the prime rib my partner ordered. The waiter was very kind and brought out another. The staff is excellent, friendly and caring.... more
