The place is hidden and somewhat hard to find but the food was delicious and came out a la carte style. The service was excellent and the ambiance of the place is very nice. I plan to revisit and would recommend it

Butternut Squash Soup
Martin S.

Let me start by saying that this is my Mom's favorite restaurant. We started with my Mom ordering the Butternut Squash soup. I am not a fan of Butternut Squash soup but I did taste it and it was delicious. I had the Escargot in an amazing garlic butter wine sauce. For the main course, My Mom has the seafood stew and I had a dish that had skirt steak, chicken and chorizo sausage over vegetables topped with two fried eggs. We finished the meal with a apple caramel crepe and probably the best coffee I have ever had. It is a rare occurrence when I go to a restaurant and really like and enjoy every dish but Bistro Basque blew me away. Everything was cooked to perfection and can't wait to go back and explore the rest of their menu. The service was as good as our meal. If you have not had the pleasure to dine here you have to go. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Great cocktail list!
C C.

Enjoyed dinner and cocktails here on a Friday evening. It was very busy so we waited for a table quite a while. Filled the time with cocktails from the bar and were fortunate to defund a table to stand by until the server took us to ours out back. The ambience is casual to nice with a quaint Euro feel. Our waitstaff were very attentive and kind and kept up with the beverages while we waited for our food. We enjoyed the scallops, portobello and a few appetizers. I would check if they take reservations and plan but definitely go have a meal, it's really good.

I once again recommend this restaurant. There are two- one in Tarrytown and one in Piermont... both…read moreright near the Hudson River. Great view, but so are the dishes! How wonderful is the Seafood Paella, and so tantalizing to look at. When you taste the flavor of the rice, seafood and veggies, it all comes together. Abdul the bartender makes a fantastic drink, and is a great conversationalist with his witty take on life. All the servers are attentive, never letting a patron feel neglected. Benny the owner - now having a third restaurant for steak lovers in neighboring Tappan since he does it so well, always shows his appreciation for those who dine in his restaurants. He doesn't take it for granted, and his high school age son is following in his footsteps steps with his welcoming smile. If one wants a table for dinner, arrive by 5:30pm as reservations are only for six people or more. A bar seat will open up eventually, but a weekend evening there will be a wait. There's parking in the back, but once that fills up, the street. When that fills up, there's one last option - the River lot across from the fire house. It's worth it though, this is a favorite restaurant for many.

In the heart of Piermont, with the back of the restaurant facing the great Hudson River with…read moreadditional summer outdoor seating, this Spanish-Basque tapas restaurant has become one of the County's most popular dining destinations. This restaurant is known for authentic Spanish small plates, generous paellas, imported Spanish ingredients, decadent desserts, and wonderful warm bread to start your culinary meal with. Abdul and Roberto make a perfect drink, whether it's a simple Espresso Martini or their house-made sangrias. . All this in a warm and friendly setting. The seafood paellas are portion perfect ie; large, the tapas favorites include garlic shrimp, octopus, croquetas, Iberico ham, lamb chops, and seasonal specials. Because the dining room is relatively small, expect a noisy environment. Weekend waits can be long because of this restaurant's popularity, but it is so worth the wait. If one arrives early, there will be no problem with sitting at the bar or nabbing a table. The staff is friendly, the clientele is neighborly, and you're guaranteed to enjoy your restaurant experience here. For Piermont, it's one of the strongest dining experiences available, particularly if one enjoys sharing plates. If you're going for the first time, I'd order the garlic shrimp, a few tapas to share, and one of the paellas for the table. Thank you Benny for bringing Piermont to our neighborhood. *For those across the river in Westchester, enjoy Basque in Tarrytown.

This is my second review and I would give it more stars if i could. Whenever we're in New Haven,…read morethis place is a must for us. Wonderful Japanese food and great selection of sake! Service is always fantastic and attentive. The dining section is small so I highly recommend reservations! The downstairs is the main bar area with a few high tops. The upstairs dining room is cozy and intimate. The restaurant is very minimalist Japanese core.

A meal and dinner to remember. My husband and I realized we hadn't had a proper date night in a…read morelong time (even with 2 weeks together on vacation). After much debating and research, we decided it was finally time to try Hachiroku in New Haven. We already love going to The Loop, let's sit down and eat. Heard lots of positive buzz from fellow Yelpers and foodies, including a previous 2024 New Haven Best Restaurant of the Year at the CRAZIES. All of the accolades and positive reviews are well earned. Cozy and delicious. That's what I'd describe about Hachiroku. The ambiance is cozy regardless if you're sitting at the bar or in the upstairs seating. The food we ordered also had the same vibe. The menu rotates with the seasons and the freshest ingredients which we greatly appreciated and it shows in the tastes. Our seasonal selections that we ordered included Hokkaido scallop and octopus carpaccio with ikura and seaweed and monkfish karaage. The carpaccio had the perfect components to complement each other. The monkfish karaage fully came together between the lemon and the side of pickled radish as well. We also ordered house made fresh tofu and added uni. The staff mentioned "oh it's perfect, it's uni season" which made my day. It was so delicious and my husband who normally doesn't like uni even noticed how fresh it was. We really went wild ordering everything, including the mini Harasu don (teishoku which comes with rice, pickles, and we picked the salad), Black Cod grilled with Yuzu sauce, Yaki Kinoko Mushrooms, and the Kakuni Short Rib (which pairs very well with a side of rice). The most cozy and perfect dish for winter was the seasonal vegetable agedashi. Warm and had a nice variety of vegetables with a vegetable dashi broth that healed the soul. We enjoyed every dish and we noticed already when looking at the menu again there's already so many new items to try. Excellent service and suggestions from the staff (because if we didn't have them, we could've ordered the whole menu in one night). Can't wait to come back and rave about Hachiroku (and its sister stores/restaurants) to everyone!

There's a small parking lot in the rear and a bigger lot across the street, although both can fill up when the restaurant gets busy. This place gets absolutely packed and I think it's simply because the food is good. It's not cheap -- in fact, some prices will make you do a double take (yes, olives for $16). Wine by the glass is steep too. That said, some things feel like a much better value. Our "half" pitcher of sangria basically came in a full-sized pitcher filled more than halfway and tasted great. Plenty for two. A lot of the menu is also easily shareable. We split the beet salad and it was big... enough for a couple. Fresh, flavorful and satisfying. Then we shared the paella Valenciana, another huge portion loaded with fatty chorizo, chicken, shrimp, scallops, clams and mussels in flavorful saffron rice. Really balanced ratio of seafood, meat and rice instead of just being a giant pile of filler. Btw -- it gets friggin loud in here. Families with kids, couples, groups of friends, older folks... the whole place was buzzing. Pretty wild atmosphere. It's also very casual for a place serving food at these prices -- servers walking around in jeans, energetic vibe, packed tables everywhere. Service was a little meh. Adequate, but nothing friendly. I'm also not a fan of places where the waiter clears appetizer plates but deliberately leaves the dirty fork sitting on the table for the next course. Bleh. Overall though, the food is legitimately very good. Expect a loud, busy dinner with strong portions, tasty sangria, a specials menu without prices and a 3% credit card fee added at the end.
