Basil is a little asian bistro near the Cool Springs area that I tried for the first time when a friend recommended meeting there for dinner. Since then, I have gone out of my way to eat there whenever I am in the area. My absolute favorite is the Pad Thai. It is based on the authentic pad thai recipe, but uses a thinner noodle, and is very tasty. I have tried pad thai other places and thought that Basil's version tops them all. The price for an individual dish is fair, though the sushi is a bit expensive. The service is pretty good, and the atmosphere is nice for a business lunch, date or friends getting together.
