    Your Chef is at your table & in the kitchen! Most unique restaurant in years! Delicious food, wines, fun for a group and equally a romantic dinner for two! We celebrated my mom’s 91st birthday here! My sister is a foodie & loved it! You don’t need to be a foodie to love this place! The servers are so attentive and knowledgeable that you want to know what they recommend!  Our server & the chef paired our Spanish white and red wine to our meals perfectly! Every dish was beautifully prepared 5 Stars for the seafood risotto & duck But the recommended appetizer special a Spanish potato tortilla with crispy Chorizo left us drooling for more! I hope it will be on the menu permanently! It’s a ‘10’! A unique experience that feels like home. I can’t wait to take my husband!

    A typical strip mall restaurant. Tables seated so close to door that when people come in they are standing at your table. Uncomfortable for sure. Food was OK.

    We really enjoy the wonderful food and service at this special place. Do not get concerned about the shopping center location. Once inside you feel like you entered into a Spanish home.

    El Basque is one of our favourite restaurants in the area. The food is always excellent and unique. You can enjoy dishes here that you simply cannot get anywhere else. The anchovies are delicious. The service is attentive without being intrusive.

    El Basque was a real gem to visit for a special night out! The waitstaff was knowledgeable and went out of their way to ensure we had an excellent food and beverage experience, suggesting great pairings. The kitchen staff are truly skilled - I have never had such tender octopus in a meal before. Highly recommend the Basque cheesecake to finish the meal. If we lived locally, we would definitely return again and again!

    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!
