    Our waiter was fantastic and he used to live in Italy! Between the four of us, we ordered chorizo with cheese and marinated figs for an appetizer. I had the seafood stew which was fantastic and we all shared a bottle of Rioja. The chef even came out and delivered our app’s! Food was absolutely delicious and the restaurant had a very European feel! We will be back!

    The food was just okay and the service was uneven . There were three of us dining at El basque and our first server could answer no questions and had to consult with or bring over another to answer questions . After ordering it was approximately 52 minutes until our entrées arrived . Others who came after us were served before us. The onion soup was fine . The escargots never showed up . They finally after serving the entrees said they forgot it but would get it right out though we declined at that point . The seafood with squid ink was unappetizing and flat in flavor . The basque poultry was bland as well . The coq au vin was average as well. All in all it was disappointing .

    Hello Anonymous, Very disheartening for us to read this review. As you can read the rest of our reviews, this is not the norm. There are no excuses and i have reviewed this review with the team and we all wish you would give us another chance, as it is obvious we had a bad day. I wish I could defend, but only take this to improve on all aspects and not rest on our laurels. Feel free to reach out to me personally if you would like to make a rsvp.

    We had the pleasure of eating there Saturday, it had been almost a year and a half which was too long to be away. Our service was excellent, food and wine recommendations excellently paired. The attention of both the chef and server above and beyond. We were impressed and had a lovely evening which is what we set out to do.

    The place was small, nice and cozy Service was very very good The menu was interesting, we ordered The food was good but for diners with no high expectations or knowledge about the food from that region, it was missing the real taste with a punch that basque and French food gives the diner Overall good and again the coziness of the place and the service was really good I am sure that local diners will enjoy Basque
