Sweet Basil's Cafe

Unfortunately we had eaten a late lunch so we didn’t have room for a big dinner. There was a bit of a wait for a table but the live music by Maggie and the Cats was terrific and we didn’t mind waiting. We ordered the bacon wrapped scallops appetizer. They are served on beets and sprinkled with feta and a drizzle of balsamic. They were delicious. Then we had the crab cakes which were flavorful and good sized. They had just the right amount of breading and a flavorful sauce. Even though the place was packed the service was excellent and they didn’t rush you. Over all it was one of the most enjoyable evenings of music and dinner I’ve had in a long time.

Crab artichoke basil melt sandwich was excellent. Paired it with a dry Rose for the perfect lunch. Tasted my sister's Jambalaya and it was a double thumbs up with a good ratio of sausage, chicken, chilies and just the right amount of spice in there. Both dishes GLUTEN FREE! Plus 20 or so outdoor seats for a nice sunny day. Casual atmosphere and friendly service. Thanks guys! We'll be back.

My husband and I found your place last year when we were staying in cannon beach, and are here again this year. We love that we don’t have to compromise our food choices when eating out. Not only is the food organic, and locally sourced, but it has excellent flavor. Also, the service is great!! We ate there yesterday for lunch and we’re happy that the food and service is still excellent.

The food was really good. I had a cup of the chowda which had some bacon that really flavored the soup. The description of it said there was some salmon, but I couldn't really tell that there was any because the taste of the bacon was pretty strong. I then had their burger which was a little difficult to eat as a burger because of how tall it was. Instead, I used a knife and fork to cut pieces of it into smaller bite size bits. Again, the flavor was delicious! I enjoyed every bite. I also loved the coleslaw on the side. However, the tortilla chips seemed an odd choice as another side. I didn't bother to eat it. After one tortilla chips, it threw off my enjoyment of the slaw and burger. My friends ordered the chicken and sausage jambalaya which was also amazingly prepared. We appreciated the gluten free options offered for another friend of mine. Although I didn't personally try her meal, she tells me she enjoyed it. Service was also worth mentioning as our server was friendly and attentive.
