Basil was my first experience in Thai food. Let me tell you - it set the bar as high as possible. This place has AMAZING food and the decor/atmosphere/staff are great. If you visit Charlotte or live here and haven't yet - go ASAP.\n\nPersonally I sometimes just order 2 appetizers for myself as a meal. If I'm feeling really hungry I grab a plate of Pad Thai. \n\nAlso this a great place to grab a quick drink to start off the night on 5th street.
