Quick lunch break in between visiting time at the hospital. The place was well equipped with plenty of room and tables. Also very clean. Ordered the 6 piece cocktails and chips plus calamari and tassie scallop. The fish cocktails were a bit small and definitely a frozen product but still OK to eat. The chips were my highlight as it was cooked well.

Trout and Salmon steaks always grilled perfectly. Potato scallops are old school style with real potatoes cut. Hot chips are out of this world - crunchy outsides, soft but not mushy inside. Seafood super fresh, great variety!

Fresh Fresh Fresh!! This Fish Cafe is being brilliantly run by its husband and wife team. Seating is Cafe style but food is top restaurant quality at minimal price. Excellent variety of fresh oysters, bugs, prawns, octopus, calamari and fish. Its like a mini fish market where you can eat in or takeaway with top service and delicious freshly grilled or fried seafood. Best little seafood secret in Hunters Hill area

I had dinner on the weekend with my sons and it was my first time to Basil's. The grilled snapper, john dory and battered flathead were super fresh and cooked beautifully. The batter was just right and the accompanying salad crispy fresh and delicious. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the premises lovely and clean. The prices were reasonable too. I would highly recommend Basil's and will definitely be back.

Possibly the best fish and chip shop I've been to in over a decade. The food is fresh and cooked to perfection, the calamari here is a must try. Would reccomend this place to anyone for the food, service and overall enjoyment.

Fries were so good and fresh . Service was quite decent. Only thing about food was i ordered grilled fish but it was too oily but maybe it is just my taste . Place is little bit small they should be more careful about thr cleanness of tables . A bit pricey when you compare to other fish and chips places. More

Fresh, hot and high quality fish and chips. Huge portion sizes. 6 fish cocktails and chips for $11.50 was excellent value. Tartare sauce ($1.50) also very nice. Worth the drive. More

The grilled fish is the way to go! You get so much and it’s so fresh and moist. (Only downside is the tartare sauce isn’t the real stuff u know)
