Basil Seasonal Dining is a charming and intimate eatery with an undeniable passion for farm-to-table seasonal cuisine, and responsible restaurant practices (Basil is the first Certified Green Restaurant in Monterey County). You'll find hand-crafted dishes made from locally sourced organic ingredients plus wild and sustainable seafood at this eatery. The modern and creative Californian cuisine can be sampled through dishes like pumpkin gnocchi, local abalone, wild mushroom risotto, 5-hour braised beef cheeks, or the Frogline Farm pasture raised chicken. Everything is made to order here, so sit back, enjoy a contemporary cocktail or any of the 50 different wines, and relax while your meal is prepared to perfection. Dine inside or out on the dog-friendly patio which is complete with heaters and even blankets for chilly days, but get to Basil for lunch, brunch (Sundays 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.) or dinner the next time you're looking for one of the best that Carmel-by-the-Sea has to offer. Reservations are required, especially on the weekends -- call today!
