    This place is nothing short of spectacular. Definitely try the butternut squash soup + the pesto chicken.

    Basil Leaf Cafe is a wonderful neighborhood restaurant. There are many, many choices, along with specials. White fish special yummy. Interesting, different salads. Asparagus salad was different and delicious. Lots of pasta choices. I had a spinach gnocchi which was excellent. Service was attentive without being obtrusive. Price was very reasonable.
