“We will not be taking reservations at this time. It will be first-come, first-serve. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.”

Here are some of the changes made at Sweet Basil:

– TAKE-OUT CUSTOMERS: Please park in the lot closest to the neighboring nursing home. Follow the signage to the correct door to enter the building.
– BAR PATRONS: Please enter through the dine in customers’ door. A hostess will seat you. No groups of more than four will be permitted at the bar. In addition, you must have a stool to be served. No congregating in common areas around the bar.

“Sweet Basil will do their best to make your dining experience comfortable while providing a safe environment according to Governor Wolf’s guidelines. Thanks again for all the support, and we look forward to seeing all of you!”
