Reviews for Sweet Basil Cafe & Catering in Lyndon, VT
A gem in the rough. Great food and drink, ample portions. Offers both Italian and Mexican dishes. Moderate price, prompt... friendly service. Limited seating, so reservations a must. A fabulous value! Read more
The bruschetta was amazing, but the Korean rib tacos were SUPER salty. When I informed that to the waiter she just acknowledged... my comment and walked away. We ended up not eating the main dish. Overall friendly staff but poor customer service. Read more
We've always enjoyed Cafe Sweet Basil and were excited to use Delise to cater our wedding in July 2020. Sadly we had to cancel... due to the Covid pandemic and the state restrictions on large gatherings. Delise was empathetic and even though we offered toconvert our deposit to credit she instead chose us to give us a full refund - so nice of her!! We'll definitely be keeping herand the Cafe in mind for our future catering needs. Read more
Unfortunately, I did not like the meal. I had shrimp scampi and the shrimp was too undercooked for my taste, almost raw, so I... ended up eating just a bit of pasta alone, which had no flavor whatsoever except for the cheese on top. Considering that it waspricy as well, over $27 for this plate, this meal was a complete disaster that left me hungry that night because I could justnot finish it. Perhaps you will have a better luck with other dished. And I hate leaving bad reviews but also promised to myselfto always give honest feedback. So for me that was one of the worst meals in my entire life:( P.s the place looked cute, ladywas very nice so I hope they can improve this dish in the future. Read more
How does one give 5 stars when only having salad? My wife and I visited Sweet Basil on a Thursday evening on the way to a... concert. Taking advice on their site we made a reservation even though we were arriving at 5:30. We arrived (late) to find arestaurant full of patrons with the same idea. Amazingly this restaurant filled completely right at opening and managed toserve every table and out in time for the concert. We were in and out in 45 minutes yet our meal was delicious. Despite themad rush the service was excellent and thoughtful. I think they have handled this before. We plan a future trip specificallyto dine here and have a proper experience. Read more
We went on a Saturday night, not very busy, had a very pleasant waitress, Julie. Drinks were good, bread was good, salad was... good. The salmon was way overdone, nice portion but dry and it was the same on all three plates. We will go back to try it onemore time and hopefully we will not be disappointed. Read more
The food here is top notch and the choices are enormous for such a small place. The service is fast and extremely friendly. The... only downside is the restaurant decor and furnishings. Saying they are "tired" would be putting it mildly. They need someredecoration. Still....a great lunch served by nice people. Read more
They catered a wedding..... Every Item of the main course was COLD. A Brides worst nightmare !! I felt horrible for the... newlyweds. They paid a ton of money for this catering and what a waste. Read more
