We took a trip to Carmel and after a long day, we were excited for a 4 pm lunch at Basil. Tucked away from the busy Ocean Avenue, this restaurant is definitely a place where you should eat.

Each plate that comes out from this kitchen is obviously crafted with the highest level of care and love. Each time we have eaten here, we have been delighted. The squid ink pasta and the tortellini have been delicious and we would order again as well as both the salmon terrine and lamb meatball starters. For dinner, choose the main... More
