   Normally great, but this time service was super slow and the food was not up to the usual standard. Hand cut chips were made from green potatoes and mainly over cooked. The ice cream wasn’t fresh, especially the strawberry. Staff were friendly as ever, maybe they were short staffed, but that doesn’t excuse the food

   A wonderful 'little gem' in Old Newhaven and despite the tram work opposite they are defying the odds! Friendly service and tasty homemade lamb burger which was one of the best I've eaten. Can I suggest they enhance the outdoor eating area with some planting (bamboo in pots take little looking after and create an immediate 'green space' Well done Basils and good luck. We'll be back!

   Second time at Basils and my partner decided to have the chicken snitzel as I had raved about it from the time before. The snitzel came out and was noticeably over-fried and burnt. My partner tasted it to see if you could taste that it was over cooked as didn’t want to make it an issue but unfortunately it tasted as burnt as it looked. We advised the waitress who was very apologetic and took the meal away. We were advised that was the last snitzel and therefore my partner ordered a steak. The steak was enjoyable. We were not charged for the upgrade in meal. We will continue to attend Basils as I live close by and the way the situation was handled was very professional and received apologies from the chef. We are not usually the type of people to say anything if the situation doesn’t warrant it but felt the need this time. We hope to frequent Basils again.

   This is a lovely restaurant and we chose it for a special breakfast reunion! The food is high quality, using the best ingredients, and the presentation pretty. The decor is classy and the space generally very comfortable. The staff are lovely and always accommodating of requests. We highly recommend this restaurant for all meals.

    Food was really good, both had the full breakfast. However, was the first time I have ever seen a full breakfast that didn’t come with beans?? Think we were both like where are they just assuming they’d be there. Other as that was really nice and definitely plan to come back for the burgers as they looked amazing!!

    Food was good ,as always ! They have a itison voucher on which is super good value for money. server was a little abrupt as we'd not realised there was a time limit on our itison voucher, so were 30 mins to early to use it ,they did honour it which was kind There is a damp smell that is hard to ignore and it's a little chilly Overall a good experience

    Food is always excellent but was very disappointed that it was a birthday celebration and the reason for going was their tasty fish and chips but only one portion left. Service also was a bit slow, staff chatting to themselves when it would have been nice if they asked us if we needed another drink. Wouldn’t stop me going back

    Excellent food, good portions and everything hot. Would prefer traditinal chips rather than wedge shaped with our fish and steak. They were a bit overdone. People next to us had skinny fries which we would have preferred. Good value for money and will definitely return. Nice place to just go for a drink also and you can take children.

    Used itison voucher for breakfast and a drink. The only thing that was very disappointing was the slow service. We ordered our food and the two tables that was served after us got there meals before us. The meal itself was good. But my friend didn't eat the haggis because it looked and tasted poor quality and bland. Apart from that it was good. The coffees was very good.

    Food was ok. Nothing special though. The servers were, in the main, friendly - but they preferred to stand and chat then serve. So we were often left for long stretches waiting for service. I don’t think the price we paid was reflected in the food/overall experience.
