Blu Basil Wine & Grill

Blu Basil takes your standard Vietnamese restaurant and gives it a slick, nightclub-meets-Asian restaurant aesthetic that is outshone by some frankly excellent food: bacon-and-bao 'sliders,' ginger scallops, stir-fried lobster, crispy duck, and Western fare like steaks and grilled lamb. The traditional Vietnamese pho and vermicelli bowls are nice as well, and a good diversion from Cajun cuisine.
