Had a reservation and when hostess seated us, we were by the door and my wife asked to be seated further away from door due to the weather. There were three other tables occupied and approximately 15-20 open tables. Hostess said she could not and said we would have to speak with manager. Manager said all the tables were "spoken for" and that if we would wait another 5-10 minutes he would see if he could help us. Remember, there were only three other couples in the entire restaurant...um? The wife said never mind and we said near the door but not happy with lack of customer service given the number of open tables. Wife had oysters and then a fish dish and thought both were very good. I, on the other hand, had onion soup and a pizza. Onion soup was ok even though the slices of cheese on top was not melted but just floating in the soup. Now pizza...even bad pizza is still pretty good but this pizza was very dry and the toppings were all in the middle with nothing 1/3rd of the way to the edges...I know my review of the pizza is a bit picky but given the prices, I expect better. I would give Basil a 2.5 given the above reasons... read more

We just had Basil cater my daughter's wedding. They knocked it out of the park! Everything was perfect. The appetizers, the salad, the entrees and the table service was absolutely perfect. Totally awesome! read more

Very nice new restaurant in the Williamsport area-- food was delicious & the restaurant is finished nice. We had truffle fries and flat iron steaks. Cocktails, dinner, dessert and service were all amazing. My only complaint is you can't open the bathroom door with your foot (covid and all....). But everything else was excellent. Will be coming back. read more

Been here a few times and had great experience every time! Awesome selection of food and drinks. Always happy with the food we've gotten and really appreciate the rotating specials so you can always try something new. Different from anything in the area, so it is a nice addition! read more

Another delicious and unique dining experience! Love the atmosphere and our waitress. Such a fun night!

We have been to Basil three times now and each time we are hoping for more. First off I will say that the food is good. Today, we went for Sunday brunch and we ordered our drinks. I ordered a coffee, which was French pressed, it was cold. I told the bartender and she offered to make it again once they had more hot water. I guess the water never got hot again....If you're unable to execute a fancier coffee, stick to a coffee pot. It should be hot We also ordered beermosas which is part blue moon beer, orange juice and topped with champagne, these were very good. As we put our drink orders in we also ordered the whipped feta cheese with pepper relish. After receiving all our drinks we put in our orders for a pizza and their plant based bowl. After waiting close to an hour for food we received our appetizer and main meals all at once. The food came out and it was very good with no complaints other than it took a very long time to get, mind you that the restaurant wasn't even half full. When we received out bill we were happy to see that our cold coffee wasn't on the bill, although we were astonished by the price of the beermosas. We were charged for a full blue moon $8 (glass was half full of it) and then another $6 for a little orange juice and champagne. All in all the food is good if you're willing to wait to get it. However, the drinks are drastically overpriced, no common domestic beer should be $8 a glass. read more

We love most everything about Basilwood, especially the unique menu items and ambiance. A repeat Sunday brunch visit was quite disappointing. There were many open tables on the bar side and maybe eight on the opposite side. We asked for a table on the bar side and the hostess looked back that way and said it would be a few minutes. We waited on a nearby sofa and then she seated us on the opposite side, not sure why our request was not honored, she gave no explanation. Our waitress seemed annoyed from the start. We placed our order and honestly waited longer than usual for such simple items, at least half an hour in a not busy time (maybe the kitchen staff was minimal, but the waitress could have said "sorry for the wait." My scrambled eggs were not even warm and an odd bright yellow color, and the English muffin I ordered was barely toasted. The bacon was perfect and other than looking like a scaled down breakfast plate in terms of portion, it was just an ordinary breakfast I could have prepared at home. Please note, we did not complain or grumble about anything and were very diligent in being friendly and smiling and did not punish her with a small tip. On departure, we missed the usual "have a great day, thanks for coming in, etc." and we realize that anyone can have a bad day, but the point of customer service is to not pass that sentiment on to your customers. We will visit again, but if the same experience happens, we will find a happier place. read more

Went there last night for the first time. Food selection lacking, but what we had was good. Service was so-so...would prefer a bit more attentive for 20% tip. Bill was absolutely outrageous!!!! Won't come back much. read more

Delicious brunch, fun and yummy drinks, and a cute, aesthetic atmosphere! My favorite brunch spot in the area. I order the crème brûlée French toast every Sunday I'm there! read more

Consistently awesome! Great standbys on the menu at all times with constant update for more new and wonderful offerings. In small town Muncy we are glad to have them. Brooke and all the staff are food knowledgeable and have great insights. Great bar and best cocktails! Pizza is great too! Love this place. Having dined extensively across the US, including the local food scene in NOLA this place holds up to the finest. Brunch is on a par with New Orleans Jazz fest quality! read more

We went to Basil with very high hopes. To start, we ordered the fried Brussels and their special calamari. The Brussels were decent, however they were drenched in duck sauce. It did not taste like it was made in house, but more like that from a fast food Chinese restaurant. The calamari was way over cooked and thickly breaded. When the waitress asked how we liked it and we said we didn't, she said she had heard the breading was too thick. No compensation offered. There was also a red vegetable in the dish that she had no knowledge of and even after several trips to the kitchen, could not find anyone who knew what it was... our main course I had the bone in ribeye, which was actually decent. They came with regular potatoes which they would not sub another carb/starch so I just had the green beans. My fiancé ordered the Bolognese which she found to taste a little off. She only ate 1/4 and started feeling ill. We took our food to go and headed home. Within 5 minutes she ran to the bathroom and threw up everything she just ate. Once the food was out she felt better. All in all the restaurant is a nice conversion of the previous fire hall. The ambience is nice and the menu looks to have many foods we eat on the regular. Unfortunately the dishes were not executed properly. For $100 two people should leave satisfied. We were not! read more

I am a repeat, out of town, patron of this restaurant since May. My first experience was great. Loved the food and atmosphere. My second visit was good. I didn't care for the pizza I ordered but it was palatable. Tonight was the worst. I ordered a drink, French Onion Soup, which was good. I asked had to interrupt the bartender from a conversation to get a spoon. I then noticed the owner and asked her if they always served soup with a teaspoon. Her reply was that Soup spoons were only served for formal dining. I have dined all over the world and have never heard that before. Then salads were served. Lettuce was barely cut, skimpy for the price. When the Pizza arrived, we had to retrieve serving plates from another table. Never offered another drink purchase, nor did we like the pizza (again). BASIL-what the heck. Owners and or managers should ALWAYS stop at tables to check on patrons, bartenders should be clean and presentable. Service should be impeccable, especially for a small restaurant, given the times we are in. I give this place a single star for food, service and appeal. Would love to have a response from the management. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more
