Bienvenue, Basilic Since 1997, Chef and owner Bernard Althaus’s Basilic Restaurant on Balboa Island has been charming diners with it’s intimate, romantic setting and its delectable Swiss French cuisine. What better way to celebrate the season than with a date night that is not only candle-lit romantic but a delight to the palate as well! From classic French onion soup to his renowned Swiss raclette and crème brulee, Chef Althaus’s Basilic is the ideal date night dining destination. A holiday date night demands sophistication. For the gents, a dark chino and blazer combination is sure to impress. A seasonally appropriate burgundy blazer is bold to be sure, but when grounded with dark pants and a classic white button down it makes for a dynamic sartorial statement. For the ladies, a chic cocktail dress with a splash of color makes the perfect evening choice. A faux-fur coat and modern metallic heels finish the look with a touch of glamour. Romance is in the air…check, please!
