Basil Canteen

In the old Jackson Brewery space, this swank, two-story Thai spot pairs off a spartan downstairs (exposed brick, enormous keyhole windows, polished cement bar) against an upstairs warmed by mood lighting and a crimson floor. As you suck down beer/wine/sake, get started with bites like Chiang Mai curried pork sausage or breaded blue point oysters w/ mango ceviche, then grab mains like peanut/cilantro roast pork w/ egg noodle, or the vermicelli soup, loaded with "rare flank steak, beef stew, and meat balls" -- emphasis ours, ludicrous beef overload theirs.
