Each crowned by a small flame, circular oil lamps create the warm, low lighting and romantic atmosphere of Little Basil Thai Cuisine, bathing the chef's upscale renditions of Thai staples in their soft glow. Curries and stir-fries employ a whirlwind of vegetables and the diner's choice of poultry, beef, tofu, or vegetarian duck. The restaurant's wide range of beers, wines, and sake complement artfully plated specialty dishes such as striped bass and duck panang curry. Traditional desserts, such as fried bananas, compete for sweet teeth's attention with flights of ice cream, which plate three separate flavors side by side so diners can sample each and decide which one deserves the metaphorical cherry on top.
