Restaurants in de buurt van Russells Shopping Center

Long time favorite but hadn’t been to this location in awhile. Service was superb! Wait staff was able to modify our orders to our liking Even though the Berkowitz family is gone the tradition continues 😍

We love the ambiance but got crowded quickly which is expected during holiday season. Two of us were dining and another friend dropped by but the restaurant could not accommodate him by adding another chair saying we had made reservations for only 2 people. That was a bummer! We were almost done dining too so not sure why we couldn't be given an additional space for a few minutes. Food was good, server was good too.

I made my own flatbread which was amazing, I ate the entire flatbread. My husband had the pork gyros and loved it. We got to speak with Santa, which was a real nice touch and the Manager was very nice and spoke with us before and after we had eaten. Definitely a place to come and bring friends and family or just a quick bite.

Per usual we had a wonderful meal last night and introduced Basil to the couple we dined with and they agreed! Our server was great and brought our drinks over so quickly followed by an appetizer of chilli glazed calamari which was so good. Two of us ordered duck, mine with the twice stuffed potato, another got the swordfish special which presented with such a thick piece of fish which my friend loved and devoured! Another got salmon and was very pleased. We all shared slices of key lime pie and the special pecan pie aka mode both of which were yummy! The only criticism I would make is the bread served was cold and a bit on the dry side. Perhaps a more interesting and warm bread would be nice. Make sure to have reservations as this place is jumping on weekends with long walk in wait times. Basil has become our favourite go to in the area!

We had an amazing time. The service was absolutely fantastic. Thank you Shannon! There were 4 of us. We ordered meatballs and pork belly apps. Cesar salads (we got 2 and they split them for us in the kitchen) - good sizes. All delicious. For entrée we had, short ribs, sirloin steak, Kansas City steak and twin petit filet mignon. All perfectly cooked and very tasty. We complimented the meals with asparagus, spinach and hash browns. For dessert we got ice cream, chocolate explosion and key lime. All very good as well. This is the type of experience we look for when we get together every month for dinner! We shall return!
