Mouthful / Priscilla Tsai A visit to Blu Basil
Posted By Priscilla Tsai on Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 3:34 PM
Since moving from the SouthPark area a few years ago, I haven't been back to the Cotswald Village shopping area since and have been unaware of all the happenings down there. I stopped by Blu Basil Cafe (which opened in February 2009) for the first time on my way to Y2 Yoga the other night and discovered that the restaurant actually serves fresh American fare and not Thai food as I had expected. (In my experience, restaurants with the name "Basil" usually end up being Thai.)
If you are looking for something light, but also more substantial than just a salad of leafy greens, I suggest you try one of their salads. I tried the Cobb Salad last night and loved the big chunks of chicken, fresh avocado and their Gorgonzola dressing. The salad comes with a big slice of their flatbread too.
