With a menu accented with French flavorings and a determination to accommodate any allergies or other dietary concerns, Sweet Basil is one of the few non-smoking venues in town. However, there is no holier-than-thou atmosphere, any reverence is reserved for the food. It is casually elegant with a homey patio, a brand-new lounge and a crisp, fresh feel to things. They offer a daily crepe special and there is a sunflower-seed encrusted fillet of salmon. All desserts are mouth-watering.

Love this place!
Been there twice, in 2000 and 2004. Wonderful food, great location in part of the Historic properties that really is historic, terrific ambiance, particularly if you like a small intimate location. I'm not sure I would recommend it for large groups. The non smoking is really important for us. We're headed back this summer and have already made reservations.
