Arrival
&
First
Impressions:
My
wife
and
I
arrived
10
minutes
earlier
than
our
booking.
We
were
checked
in
via
an
electronic
tab
at
the
door
and
seated
within
10
seconds.
The
restaurant
has
nice
modern
decor,
very
clean,
and
every
table
is
spotless
with
place
setting
neatly
organised.
And
all
staff
members
(from
floor
to
kitchen)
was
immaculately
dressed.
The
Staff:
Our
table
was
attended
by
Bella
&
Mod.
We
found
both
of
them
to
be
extremely
efficient,
attentive,
and
provided
their
service
with
a
smile
throughout
our
booking.
Drinks:
The
drinks
menu
clearly
shows
that
they
support
producers
from
the
Yarra
Valley
region.
We
ordered
the
Napoleone
Apply
Cider
-
which
came
in
quite
a
generous
glass
and
super
chilled.
The
Food:
We
ordered
Myanmar
Tea
Leaf
Salad
-
very
unusual
(but
in
a
pleasant
way),
with
plenty
of
crunch
&
pop
in
the
texture,
and
savoury
in
flavour;
Chargrilled
Calamari
-
the
calamari
was
almost
marshmallow
like
in
texture
(super
soft),
served
with
naam
jim
sauce
that
was
perfectly
balanced
with
sweet/sour/savoury
and
a
hint
of
heat;
Crisp
Barramundi
Red
Curry
-
crispy
and
fresh
(not
frozen)
with
the
richest
and
creamy
red
curry;
Jungle
Beef
Stir
Fry
-
plenty
of
flavour
and
generous
amounts
of
vegetables
&
beef;
Sticky
Date
&
Logan
Pudding
-
what
can
I
say...
that
"butterscotch
sauce"
OMG.
Summary:
Overall,
we
thought
Holy
Basil
Thai
offered
a
very
good
dinning
experience.
Service,
delivery
of
food
(timing),
quality
&
taste
of
food
was
very
good.
Everything
was
seamless.
What
impressed
me
the
most
was
that
how
well
this
restaurant
is
run
-
the
floor
staff
and
the
kitchen
staff
performed
like
a
well
oiled
machine.
All
the
floor
staff
provided
their
service
efficiently
with
a
smile,
and
the
kitchen
staff
was
equally
as
efficient
and
very
professional
with
each
other.
I
personally
take
note
of
these
things
after
dealing
with
the
hospitality
industry
for
almost
2
decades.
Credit
to
everyone!
