My beau and I frequently visit Sweet Basil on Haywood. It's in a strip mall, which is off of the busiest portion of Haywood Road, but once inside, it is exactly the Thai retreat that soothes the harried soul! The atmosphere is soothing with a tranquil fountain at the door. There are muted TV's and a bar for the ""boys"" to gander at while the women are conversing, but once the food arrives, all attention is redirected! The food is fantastic, and the portions are adequate but not crazy big as many restaurants these days. Thier Ginger Seafood is amazing and the smell alone will relax you. If you are a wine drinker, trust me, you'll only need one glass as thier glass of wine is not a skimpy serving. My favorite thing about this restaurant is that they have thier regular menu which is enhanced with daily seasonal specialties. Go, relax and enjoy!
