About

Basil serves classic and contemporary Thai dishes in a comfortable, contemporary setting downtown. The menu includes a few standout vegan curries with tofu as well as vegan appetizers like fresh rolls, but the overall vegan offerings have recently been reduced, with many dishes containing fish sauce or eggs unless specially requested. Staff are generally knowledgeable and helpful about vegan options, though some reviews note the menu could improve, and vegan dishes come at a moderate price point.
