Unable to pick up? Get it delivered!
This is the latest update as of June 24, 2020
When the dining room will re-open will depend upon the future success of our community efforts to greatly reduce the spread of COVID-19. Due to these unfortunate trends and in an attempt to protect our families and friends (which is practically everyone), we are re-closing our dining room and asking customers to not pay with cash. We have also established some new processes for our team to maintain a better social distance. Thank you for all your continued support!
NEWS: More Dining Room Options Coming... Eventually
About Salt Lake County Opening Dining Options May 1st, 2020
One of the fun things about Red Basil is the small dining space among food that hits the spot. This condensed space would not make for a practical 6' spacing of tables, or there may only be 4 to 5 tables open in the entire dining room with all other customers angry or disappointed that they did not have the opportunity to dine in at Red Basil.
Red Basil is not yet opening the dining room for our traditional waiter/waitress services on May 1st. However, we will allow customers to sit and enjoy their packed to-go food at the tables as of May 1st. We ask that customers still keep a distance of 6' from others. We will also have our staff regularly sanitizing the tables, chairs, and other hand traffic as we have been doing. Red Basil proactively seeks out and promotes the safest practices known to society.
On May 1st, Salt Lake County also requires masks until it is time to consume the food. We will not be policing this practice, but we will only encourage the practice through the display of signs.
While wearing masks can provide added protection, masks have also proven to be more dangerous than beneficial when worn by individuals who have not been properly trained. Masks can cause the wearers to touch their face with infected hands (especially when gloves are also worn, which unsanitized gloves can influence people to be less mindful of what they touch) more often to itch, adjust the mask, or temporarily remove the mask to participate in activities such as food consumption. If any customer chooses to wear medical masks or other facial guards, we ask that they become familiar with the proper use of such masks or guards and the principles of various disease spread and control.
RESULTS: Thanks to all those who supported us, Red Basil was able to donate $607.82 to Make A Wish!
20% of all purchases (excluding merchant fees and sales tax) on March 25, 2020 went to Make A Wish Foundation.
Make A Wish Foundation allows for terminally ill and critically ill children to make one last wish.
Picture above shown of Red Basil’s angelic nephew Kade Michael Wetzel who died at 5-years-old on Nov. 30, 2019. Kade’s wish was to meet Minnie and Mickey Mouse. Kade was too ill to go visit them, so they came to him.
