Basil's Kitchen and Bar

We recently ate here due to snow storm that closed every restaurant in the Seattle area. The restaurant is inside the Embassy Suites and we were guests there so it was a matter of convenience and necessity. We had a group of 8 and we sampled many items. We all really liked the bread appetizer. The entrees were all tasty from a steak to a pasta dinner. The service was prompt and courteous even though it was busy. The only negative was a bill over $300. More...

We're on our way to the airport during a rear Seattle area snowstorm. The worst we've had in probably 10 years. We called first and they confirmed they were serving at 2:30 PM and encouraged us to come on in. Once we arrived the staff were very welcoming and accommodating. The food was great. It was so great I ate it all before even thinking of taking photos. I had the angel hair pasta with tomatoes artichoke, olives and other things. My husband had some wonderful chicken with the key on it I think. We both loved our entrées. There was something special about the bread too. It was really good. They served it with butter and olive and balsamic. The prices were reasonable. It was an extra bonus that they except the passport card. We will be back. More...

6:40 - called in order for dine-in.6:50 - arrived6:50-7:18 - waiting for order. Never waited upon or offered water.7:18 - food arrivedThis was one time out of about 5 so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt and assuming it was a one off bad experience. I go primarily for the happy hour and enjoy their chicken wings although they got rid of the "pomegranate bbq" flavor which is on the menu in some of the pictures. More...

Ate here after a long flight from the Midwest. Their chowder was surprisingly delicious! Great beers on tap, and Thursday night football. Waitress/bartender (I forget her name) was a Bills fan and engaged in convos with me as a Packers fan. I love when a place makes you feel at home like that. I've been back a few times. I'd recommend this for anyone staying at Embassy Suites. More...

You have to pay for parking to eat here, it's inside embassy suites hotel. We ordered salads that were quite delicious. All together we paid 50 bucks for two salads and water. .. again two salads and water... (Poof!) I've eaten the same salads that were 12-15 bucks a peace not 22-25 bucks a piece... yeeesh.. More...

I came here on lunch and will be honest, I almost walked out the door. The service was incredibly slow. Not only that, but they helped some couples that sat down after me before they even brought me a water. The reviews for the food was fairly good so I decided to stay. I am really glad I did because the scallops were awesome! I got the appetizer scallops and there was a ton of mushrooms but the flavor of the sauce was so great and the scallops tasted amazing. I used the sauce to dip my bread in and couldn't get enough of it! More...

Very nice atmosphere. Bartender and staff were very attentive to us and also knowledgeable about the menu. We ordered the fried zucchini, calamari and the smoked salmon alfredo fettuccine. I didn't much care for the zucchini and my husband didn't care for the calamari. We both absolutely loved the fettuccine! Will visit again. More...

I made a special trip after seeing Chef Kurt Ramborger on an episode of "Chopped". I was not disappointed. The food was beyond excellent! I had the crab cakes Benedict for brunch. Chef Kurt brought it out himself and spent a few minutes chatting with me and my friend. It was a day I will never forget. More...

I entered this happy place which is located inside the Embassy Suites lobby after an upsetting Check In experience I had with the hotel staff. I was greeted by the wonderful restaurant staff (Jessica) and after a few kind and caring words and an excellent suggestion for a yummy food and drink she turned my mood from bad to better to happy in just 15 minutes. Highly recommend this place specially if she is still working there as professional and wonderful as she must always be at her work. More...

First time in the area and it was the closest restaurant to our hotel. Wasn't sure how the food and price would be considering it is part of the Embassy Suites Hotel. The food and service was amazing and definitely affordable and family friendly. My husband had the Aglio e olio (rack of lamb pasta)and I had another pasta and wine .. so amazing. Staff was incredibly friendly and food was superb! Definitely will eat here next time we visit. My son loved his kids menu food too! More...

We came on Valentine's Day, I initially felt dumb because I made a reservation and it didn't seem like there was anyone there.  But by about 6:30 p.m. it was hopping.  Service was great.  We chose from the 3 course Valentine's Day menu.  I had the Cesar salad, pasta, and chocolate cake...and coffee.  My gf had the beet salad, the surf and turf, and chocolate cake also.  The food was really, really good.  Great portions, and even when they got super busy, still attentive.  There was some confusion around the bill, they fixed immediately.  Highly recommend this place we will be back!!  They will validate your parking!

I love this place. The food is delicious. My new addiction is their Mediterranean creme brule.  The menu description is "house made cardamom infused creme brulee topped with honey roasted pistachios" It's  a m a z i n g! I enjoy the happy and attentive servers and manager. I work nearby so I usually go at lunchtime. The beautiful Ambrea remembers me and what I usually drink and other things. Maybe I'm silly but it feels nice that she remembers and I like seeing her familiar, cheerful face. It's like when l lived in a small town and everybody knew each other. So thank you, Basil Kitchen peoples! And Yelp peoples, you should definitely try this place out! More...

A highlight in an otherwise lacking hotel experience. Everything was delicious. We had the mushroom bruschetta, fettuccine Alfredo kids meal, Basil Wedge Salad with chicken, bananas foster, and a glass of Malbec. We were pretty happy with all items. Maybe the bread could have been more crisp in the bruschetta dish(it was chewy rather than toasty)...but otherwise.... on point. I would recommend coming in for dinner definitely. Quiet, calm experience with a more upscale decor and clientele. It is incredibly overpriced however, so be prepared to pay a lot for what you actually get. More...

I've eaten here several times while here on business. Usually I like to get out for a walk for dinner, but the food is great right here so I keep coming back. I usually go for the steak frites which is amazing. Tonight I opted for the burger which was equally amazing. The party was perfectly moist with a great balance is sauce. The fries here are delicious as well but I had to forgo most of them tonight to have room for dessert. Went with the apple cobbler based on server recommendation and it did not disappoint. I may need to be rolled back to my room tonight . On top of all the great food options is a super friendly and attentive staff. If your in the area and looking for somewhere to eat this is the place.

Always excellent food and service. I've eaten here maybe 10 times in the last 3 weeks mostly because it's in my hotel but that said it's still excellent food. My only gripe is when you order room service the guy has said twice to me "19% gratuity is added but we certainly appreciate if you add more". Really? Because the $10 that was already added is not enough for you to carry my tray up the elevator and to my room It's not like you waiting on me, you literally walked maybe 100 yards That is aggravating. Otherwise when I eat in the restaurant  James has always waited on me and he is excellent!! Could not ask for a better waiter. More...

I went here last week to sample a nice sit down restaurant for peace and quiet.  The prices are typically higher for a hotel place anyway and this was the case here.   There is a limited menu depending on the time of the day so I had the fish and chips.  The portions were good, the waiter was the usual up selling person  and it was a clean orderly meal.  The mu is what is holding the place back since there is not much competition in the immediate area.  I would goohere if I was staying at the hotel but not on a regular visit.  Food tasty though!
