Reviews for Basil's Greek Dining in Aurora, IL
I was unpleasantly surprised by the service here. It was very slow. From what I noticed, there was only 1 server for the entire... restaurant and the manager was helping her. And 1 bartender. The restaurant was not that busy but it's definitely not a job forone server only. We ordered drinks which we got in an acceptable time frame. Then we ordered appetizer that we got fairly fastbut she was running around and never took our dinner order. We waited for 20 min, finished our appetizer and then went inside tolook for her so we can order. To be fair, we did get our food really fast. But the quality was really not as expected from ahigh class looking restaurant like this one. The bolognese was sweet, probably made with coconut oil, and that overtook theflavor. The gyro is definitely not what a gyro should look like, even in a plate. Doesn't come with a side, not nearly as enoughpita bread, and missing ingredients. I have had a lot of better gyros in fast food restaurants. They did try their best but itjust didn't meet my expectations. Read more
Lots of variety in the menu, we each ordered something different and everyone agreed that overall the experience was positive.... We ordered the snapper, egg plant parm, lemon cod, and lobster ravioli. The drinks were great and the dessert was just sooyummy. Overall the prices are fair. There was 4 for dinner and the bill was not outrageous, service was good, and food wasgreat. Will definitely return. Read more

Basil's is a great place for finer dining Greek cuisine in the Aurora/Naperville area. The atmosphere is comfortable and... friendly, and this is helped by the courteous, friendly staff. I haven't been to Basil's in some time and it was nice to comeback and see that it's still going strong. And this applies to the food as well. All the dishes my party got were on point andvery good. Of course, their saganaki was excellent. And my dessert (see picture) was especially good. Overall, I had a greattime and a good dining experience at Basil's, and I'll try to come back more often.

Excellent food. Menu is extensive and high standard. It is fine dining. Considering the quality, the price is reasonable. Ideal... for those who want a romantic night out. We learned that they have a valentine's day special with their most favorite menu item$150 for couples ???? For the starters we had Tarama , Saganaki, Skordalia .I had to return the Tarama, I tried caviar fromother places but for some reason this one was super heavy for me. I ordered their Lolly-pop Lamb chops and I enjoyed every biteof it, perfectly cooked to my taste. My husband tried Chicken Kabob and he also liked it . Their beer selection was better thanmost of the places we have tried . And you can't go wrong with Moscoto D'asti . Dessert was exceptionally good. Baklava cheesecake was different and I really liked it . My spouse also liked his dessert. He also ordered a cup of Greek coffee but we endedup receiving a delicious Turkish coffee ???? Everyone here has been mentioning how the service was great, but we were unlucky onthat part .Our server was pretty slow but he still provided fine service. The hostess was very friendly. I highly recommendthis place for fine , quality dinning. Read more

I came here with the husband for a date night and loved the ambience. I had made a reservation online and upon checking in, we... were asked if we wanted to sit out or inside. We chose outside and enjoyed it. I got the vodka gnocchi and loved it!! We alsotried saganaki which was served with bread and spinach feta pie as entree along with some roasted vegetables. The veggies neededsome more salt. Also tried a lychee cocktail which was fantastic. For dessert, we got a citrus infused dessert (had a Greekname, can’t remember now) - it was good. Service was always prompt and great. Read more
