Went here because we were on the way back from palm springs. It was right off the 60 freeway, so was very convenient. We had a party of 6 (4 adults and two little kids), and wanted sit in the bar area to watch football. They were nice enough to accommodate us because they usually don't serve a party that size at the bar? But then I saw the server made an annoying face to another server. I guess she didn't want to set up the table over there. Oh well. The food was excellent. The rack of lamb with garlic on top was delicious, so tender and perfectly seasoned. The veal parmesan is really tasty. We also ordered the roasted chicken which is moist, tender and very tasty. Each entree came with fries, potato gratin, Or green beans. Portions are big enough to share. When we received the billed, they charged us a split fee which they did not mention. Which is fine. Most places will split the plate for you but they only brought us extra plates. All in all: Food is 4 star Service is 3 star Ambiance is 4 star So I would come back for the food. Since Basque food is a rare and it was delicious. read more

I am a Grubhub driver and we are not partnered with this particular restaurant. The process for placing orders this way is that we call ahead to place the order then use our Driver card to pay for it. Once we get the receipt we take a picture and upload it to be sent to the customer for them to pay EXACTLY what is on the receipt...no special pricing, etc. I wish the owner would have let me explain this to her before she yelled and harrassed me for 20 minutes, claiming that GH was somehow stealing from her. I personally suffer from anxiety issues and her irate behavior sent me into a full blown panic attack. She did this in front of a room full of customers who, by the way, were not maintaining social distancing regulations or even wearing masks. Nor was she wearing a mask or gloves when handling food. After I left I was so distressed that I had to stop my shift and go home. This is my only job and I rely on it to provide for my family because I am disabled and cannot work a regular job so I did not make enough earnings for the day. The only redeeming quality of this restaurant is the owner's son. He was extremely kind to me and was obviously embarrassed by his mother's immature behavior. The apple, in this case, fell very far from the tree. However, I will never be returning to this restaurant either to pick up orders or as a patron if this is how they treat complete strangers. If I could rate 0 stars I would. read more

Love the vintage charm of this place. On my first visit, in the first moments of my first impression, all I knew was this place must have been around for generations seeing all the legitimate 1970's surroundings & decor. I honestly didn't know what to expect of the service and food, but right away we were greeted by our waitress with such a wonderful sense of hospitality. We ordered lamb chops and baked tilapia and both dishes were great, but i have to say the spaghetti ( tomato and roasted pepper sauce) was the best spaghetti I've had in years! I'm coming back for lots more of that!! :) WE LEFT STUFFED and very happy read more

I found my experience confusing. There is a bar with food and then the restaurant. I ordered rack of lamb and it was not seasoned. Boring food. I need not go back. read more

One of my few 5-star ratings for any restaurant. Centro Basco will probably never be a popular pick but it is one of my favorite restaurants in SoCal... Specifically Sunday Brunch. You don't get a menu, instead waiters bring you soup, salad, wine, bread and butter. I don't know how often it changes but both times that I have been here I always get the steak and French fries with my meal. I have to say, one of the reasons I give this restaurant my highest rating is because it reminds me of a lunch spot I'd frequent when I lived in Madrid. So if you ever want to know what authentic, family owned restaurants in Spain feel like, then check out Centro Basco. More people should know about this place. read more

I am basing this review on my one visit today for a quick lunch before heading to the airport to come back to Sac. This. Place. Is. Awesome. I'd love to be here for happy hour! The ambiance is old school European. Wooden paneling, vintage French and Italian decorations - ambiance is on target. For lunch, I ordered the half-sandwich and salad deal, opting for the grilled roast beef sandwich. The salad is, by default, greens with a homemade oil and vinegar (slightly sweetened) dressing. The sandwich was to-die for. The sourdough bread was buttered up good, then grilled. It made for a nice crispy but melt-in-your-mouth goodness. The roast beef, hands down, is the best roast beef I've ever had in my life. Tender, succulent, tasty, juicy. Nice two slices with melted jack cheese. The whole combination was wonderful and heavenly in my mouth. I would never have found this place on my own. It looks old and non-descript on the outside. The clientele was an older crowd. But I would certainly love a chance to come back again to try other dishes. The spaghetti with meat sauce also caught my eye, and the meatloaf, and the burger. But can I say again? Best. Roast. Beef. EVER. EVER!! read more

Family style dining was an awesome experience! The food was excellent, meal was served in courses. Bread and bleu cheese plate was on the table to start, as well as any of thier house wines which are bottomless and included in the price of the dinner! Well worth the $18 per person to start with! Dinner started with a tomato based vegetable soup, served with pinto beans on the side... I added the beans and bleu cheese to my soup, it was amazing! The salad was also good, which was next on the courses, added bleu cheese to that as well. The antipasto was okay, onions, tomato, sliced hard boiled egg, really refreshing just before the last and main course. The ribs were excellent, the sauce wasn't too heavy, and was sweet and savory! Obviously homemade sauce! They don't include dessert in the meal, so we added dessert (cheesecake and flan) and coffee, and it still wound up being $25 a person. When you count in the all you can drink wine, and sitting next to strangers and sharing food, it was a unique experience! We will definitely be back again at some point! I am suprised that it wasn't more packed than it was. Drinks at the bar before the dinner were really cheap, less than$10 for a dirty martini (very well prepared, I must say) and a rum and coke. Next time we will skip the drinks and fill up on the wine, and get coffee and peanuts at the bar after dinner! Looking forward to my next trip here, that's for sure! read more

My experience at Centro Basco was great! The food was good,but not just that...they give u aloooot of food with all your order..the family long style table is only for the weekends, we went on a Tues. and with our order, we got soup that u can have 2-3 servings,salad the same, u get bread, beans,vegies, slices of tongue with just olive oil and slice of tomatoes and cheese, and also pasta..That's just all the food u get with your order...then after all that food, u get the main dish...I was pretty full by the time my food came out..Everything was good, and with excellent service!! Love the feel of the place..It was very homi feeling !! You just got to see for urself !! read more

I purchased a Groupon deal and came here tonight with my family for dinner. I did some research to find out where this place is located. The pictures on their website show how beautiful this place is. As we arrived, we turned into a gravel parking lot and found out later that the restaurant was on the other side. It was an old building and the ambiance and interior decor did not stand up to the pictures on their website. The food and service here is mediocre. My husband had the lamb chops and that was ok. My prime rib was dry and of poor quality. The side of french fries had the taste of oil that has been used over and over again. My husband also found a piece of metal or aluminum in his drink. He was too nice to not make a stink about it. Mr. Bartender, you got away with this one! Overall, I would not recommend this place. I felt mislead by the photos, not only from their website, but also by the one used on Groupon. The lamb chops we ordered looked nothing like the one advertised on Groupon. Very disappointed!! read more

Decided to try this place because we found a groupon , and my boyfriend and I are always up for trying a new place. Parking was a little confusing, we had entered a gravel lot and ended up walking on the other side of the building to where the entrance really was. At first glance when I walked inside I was already not really expecting much. But to my surprise right from the beginning the already give you complimentary french onion soup and salad ! The soup was decent and the salad greens were fresh, but it could've had a bit less dressing. For the main entree we ordered the rack of lamb and the lukinka with noodles. The lamb was very tender and moist, I would really recommend this dish , the mint jelly wasn't doing it for me though. Both the texture and taste reminded me of toothpaste so that wasn't really enjoyable. The sausage for the lukinka and noodles are housemade and was also really tasty, and I thoroughly enjoyed the garlic noodles as well because they were soft and cooked to perfection. read more

I'm still laughing from this place. I felt like I walked into a scene in a time machine. We went on a Saturday night for the family style dinner. That was our first mistake. We started off in the bar as you need to wait for the cow bell to ring before you can go in the dining room. The bar had the usual cast of characters except old men kept coming in asking for Patty. She finally shows up, older than them, and they all (Patty and 3 old guys) slide into a red leather booth. At least I think it was leather. By now we are having fun just watching these peeps. We (4 of us) order a round of drinks. The bartender was very nice and made mean martinis. Just as we are getting to know some of the cowboys and cowgirls at the bar, they ring the cowbell. We are stoked that we are going to meet our new dining companions. Well...it was us and one guy, who lived upstairs. He told us he has eaten in the dining room everyday for 39 years. We asked him what's good and of course his answer was....whatever is on the menu. We started out with the chopped head lettuce salad with blue cheese dressing. I always forget how much I like head lettuce after eating all those fancy pants lettuces. The bread with the blue cheese was served as well and hit the spot. The salads were followed with pea soup which was fair and fortunately not salty. We were waiting for the french fries which we had heard were really really good. No disappointment there and the ketchep was actually in a bottle. High class!! The roasted chicken and beef stew had that left over from lunch taste. I would have liked it better if there were fresh herbs on the chicken (that you can actually see) and some just picked veggies in the stew. There is something about a dish where the veggies are the same color as the meat.... I'm scared. We were disappointed in the food. Maybe if we had waited and gone on Sunday the atomosphere would have won us over. Overall, everyone was friendly. The wait staff was attentive, there's just the one thing that you actually come for....Food, which was not that great. Maybe it was an off night, in that case, we just might try the Sunday Brunch. That's the real day to go and dine with strangers! read more

I have eaten at Centro Basco 2 times now after last night and my tastebuds have gotten a good feel for the food here. Overall, the food here is decent. The taste is above average, but the portion sizes don't always correlate with their prices. For example I ordered the Flat Iron Steak with garlic butter and I was very eager for my order to come out. When it actually came out I was shocked on how small it was. No exaggeration I could have eaten it in two bites easily. Luckily for me the taste was worth the order, but I would suggest serving slightly bigger portions for their steak entrees. Their sides such as the salads, soups and greens are served family style so that is a plus for bigger parties. The service is pretty friendly and speedy. There was one mishap when we were here last night and that was a broken glass and some spillage. Not a big deal though, we moved past it and carried on with our night. Definitely try the chocolate cake here, it is to die for! It's so good that even when we were full we had to take some to go. All things in consideration, I can't see myself coming here often, but once in awhile you may definitely catch me dining here! read more

I came for a fixed lunch which included wine, Ox tail, and prime beef. Everything was tasty, the atmosphere is family meets old fashioned, and the dining experience is very European I never got to try their infamous rabbit... read more

Great food! a little outdated in designs but the authenticity of the food overweighs everything.

Service: not sure if it's because we sat at the wrong place (the bar area not the actual dining area) or the servers were just racist, but NO ONE was helping us. We had to yell out what we wanted to order because the bartender took our orders and she was too lazy to walk over. Food: decent. steak was not bad thought the garlic was uncooked, side dishes were yummy. French onion soup was really good. read more

I wish i could give more stars!! Came in for taco Tuesday and was blown away by how excellent the food and service was! The tacos were so savory and even before the tacos came to my table, just the smell from them were mouth watering. Highly recommend to come in and try this place, you won't regret it! Great atmosphere, great service, great food!! read more

Came here for lunch. The food was okay (ordered the steak sandwich, but the steak was pretty fatty). It came with fries and the server gave me a side salad too, which was tasty. The side of sourdough bread was probably the tastiest thing I ate. Soft and delicious. The lunch prices were not expensive, but just about right for what my guest and I received. It helped that we had a Groupon, so if you're looking to try this place out, get the Groupon to save you the equivalent of one entrée. Finally, what could have made this place better were two things. First, being seated is very confusing. No one is stationed at the door, so when you walk in, you either stand around hoping someone will notice you eventually or you wander around the restaurant (like I did) hoping to find a server for some clarification on where to sit. This isn't an individual experience. When we came here before a few months back, we experienced the exact same thing. And it seems the guests that arrived after we did experienced the same too. Second, the lighting is very dim and the place needs a major overhaul on decor. I can't really explain it, but the decor closely resembles a funeral home, very darkly lit with red carpeting. While it may sound somewhat romantic, believe me, it's not. I'm still glad we have this place a second chance, but I wouldn't return here considering the other choices I have in and around town. read more

If you are looking for something to jolt your routine into something different, this is a place to start. They have an open bar and serve a plate of tongue (yes.....it tastes great). Servings are normally hefty.....great for those in need of a food coma. A little tight as far sitting arrangements, but service is quick and friendly. Centro Basco Restaurant: 1. Location - Take the 60 Fwy and exit Central. From point of exit, its about 3-5 miles down. 2. Ambience - The room seems dark but people generally seem happy (maybe its because they are enjoying all their wonderful food). Casual is a safe bet for this location. 3. Service - Very fast servers and usually, the servers will tag team with the hostess to get the food out quick. They will always ask if your done with a dish and ask to take it away (I wonder where all the extra food goes when they take it). 4. Price/Food - For a lunch/dinner for two, you can always get away under $50 (that could include tip). I enjoy eating the tongue with vinegar and tomatoes. Their chicken and fries are delicious. read more

We went to El Centro Basque last night to celebrate my son's fiancée's birthday. We haven't been for a very long time but used to go often, so I was hesitant. We had a fabulous time. The waitstaff was outstanding. We all were pretty hungry so we ordered the beef tongue, tomatoes & cheese plate and escargot for appetizers. Absolutely delicious! For dinners we ordered the lamb chops, (to die for), shrimp scampi, steaks and prime rib. Everything cooked and seasoned perfectly. OMG, every plate was amazing. Soup and beans, great. Au gratin potatoes, French fries, salad (super yum), bread and green beans are served family style with dinner. Nothing disappointed. Definitely putting El Centro Basque back on our 'going out to dinner' rotation schedule. And again, excellent EXCELLENT service. read more

Great home made soup and the food is great. A little old and dark but the service is warm and friendly. read more

The Lamb French Dip was really tasty, but I felt that the meat was a little too fatty for the french dip style dish, and the bun felt kinda old, or processed (like it was made at subway or something). I feel like I would have enjoyed myself had just gone for the cow tongue, or something more authentic, you know? read more

I've never experienced a place like this. I met my boyfriends grandparents there the day I went and now I understand why they've been going there since the 1940s if not longer. Great food and staff is so nice. read more

Came here for a big party. Food was edible but nothing to say I have to come back again. Chicken and beef were dry and service was not the best for the money spent. Probably will pass on coming again. read more

Decided to eat here for dinner with my family since we had special groupon deal. The food is a little pricey, but it includes the bread, salad, soup, and side dish with the main course meal. The place was packed for a Wednesday night so the service was a bit slow. The servers were very friendly however and constantly checked on us to refill the waters and such. I ordered the Chicken Cordon Bleu which was very rich and flavorful. It came breaded with gravy on top and the ham was located more toward the center. Once the melted cheese is revealed with the ham, the meal only gets better. If you're looking for a quality meal or want an authentic French-Basque/European cuisine, then I would highly recommend this place. read more

This was my first time here and I loved it! I will definitely be back! We came for the family style lunch on Sunday and the food, drinks and service was amazing! read more

Centro Basco never disappoints. Delicious food, great service. My favorite are the Lamb chops w/extra garlic.

Ordered fried chicken meal to go, A friend had raved about their fried chicken. Was disappointed to find their roasted chicken instead which was dry, overcooked and appeared to resemble a game hen rather than a chicken. All our food was cold except the potato and leek soup which was piping hot but appeared to be the bottom of the pot. No leeks and the little bit of potatoes was a slurry on the bottom of the container. No butter for the bread, salad container was only about 1/3 full. Only good part of this meal was the taste! Picked this meal up just after they closed from lunch, it seems we were given all the leftovers! Have eaten here before and the food was good, hate to post a bad review but this meal sucked! read more

Little things do not bother me enough to merit a bad Yelp review. However, our horrible and appalling experience at this restaurant has driven me not only to write one, but has forced our whole group to tell anyone we meet in this town that dining at Centro Basco is not worth anything. On Mother's Day of this year, our group went there for lunch. It was a party of 30 made up of several families with children. We proceeded to order from the Dinner menu. Two of us ordered our entrées plus a side of Beef Tongue and another two people ordered two sides of spaghetti. I remember the waitress telling me that she will bring Beef Tongue for the whole table (as if it came with the meal) so I assumed there's no need for me and the other person to order a separate side. When we got our bill, we were inexplicably charged for Beef Tongue good for 40 people and 2 spaghetti entrees. Our waitresses assumed that since 2 people wanted it, the whole table must want it too. And besides, there were 30 of us, not 40. Secondly, why were we given 2 spaghetti entrees instead of sides? Somehow this restaurant likes to make irresponsible assumptions that will end up costing their customers lots of money. They should have asked if everyone wanted the Beef Tongue and should have explained to us how much that will cost. We are not talking a side of pita chips. Beef Tongue is not cheap. We tried to reason out with the restaurant. With an $800 bill, I believe we deserve an explanation and heaven forbid a little courtesy. But instead of being pleasant and amiable, the waitresses were argumentative. We were told it "isn't right for us not to pay for something we ate." To the waitress: neither is it right for us to pay for something that we never ordered, was incorrectly charged and was assumed we wanted. We thought we have found a local restaurant where our group can regularly eat at. Instead, we found a place that we will never return to and will forever tell others about. You are now warned. Be careful when you order at Centro Basco. They presuppose a lot and they will serve you a very expensive meal with heaps of atrocious customer service as your side dish. read more

Food is 4.5 stars, service is 1. Food seems really fresh and lots of love poured into it. I've had the oxtail, roasted duck, and seafood paella. Absolutely incredible. The service, however, is questionable. No I'm not the type to put so much weight on service, but I can't help it with this restaurant. The two times that I've been, I've felt super rushed through my dinner experience. Multiple servers constantly ask you if they could take your plate, even though it is still half-full. The setting is family-style with strangers, yet the service does not reflect the value of conversation and company because you are forced to scarf your food down, in fear that a server might take your plate away. When about the fourth server asked if he could take my salad plate away, I was very annoyed at that point and said nicely, "no. I'm not finished." The server seemed offended but I was literally still eating off of the plate! When you have a four course meal + wine, you shouldn't have to be forced to finish in under 40 minutes! Ultimately, the food is still great, but don't expect a stress-free, leisurely meal during their family-style dinners. Instead try out their regular dining room. read more

Lunches are a big group table with a pre-fix meal. I wasn't excited at first. However, we had a BLAST and met great people. No one wanted to leave. I will take my parents again another time to have their menu dinner. read more

I love Basque food and this place is one of the best. You dine at long tables and are pretty much forced to talk to total strangers who you are sharing your table with. Bring your appetite because you're gonna get fed. And real good too. read more

As a child and young adult I had many family gatherings here. I do not live in the area but was going to be in the area and decided to make a stop. It was like going back in time. Most the place look the same as I remember it 3 decades ago with minor changes. Clean, quite dated but quite refreshing to its uniqueness in a world globalization of Olive Gardens and Yard Houses. One table had 12 varied age Basque men having lunch laughing and telling stories in their native dialect. It was 2 p.m. with like 20 people dining. A tomato based clam chowder was served. A thinner based soup and full of flavor. Fresh vegetables gave it wonderful base. A hearty bread with butter was served. I ordered the rib eye steak with mushroom gravy. Very tasty. Freshly made crisp fries. Peas were fine. My counterpart ordered Poulet Basque. Moist, Good aroma. We were full but enjoying ourselves and ordered blackout chocolate cake. and split it. Dense chocolate, very good .I'm sure it was brought in but of a good quality. The waitress was friendly and on top of things even by herself. I will return and bring a few more with me to have family and friends dinner. read more

I honestly can't attest to the food because after waiting over 25 minutes for our server to even get to us, we just left. She helped a party behind us first, even though we had been sitting before them. I watched as she got them drinks, take their order and serve soup and salads. I would like to say thanks to the bus boy, without whom we wouldn't have gotten water or bread. When the server finally did come over, she got one other us drinks and not the other! I'm assuming she just thought we were good with water the bus boy had gotten us? I dunno, but we won't be back. read more

I know the rating of this place is a solid 4. But this is OUR EXPERIENCE. My bf and I were looking for a new place to go to for dinner and saw a Groupon, $14 for $30 worth of food. Great deal right? Well, you decide. ATMOSPHERE & DECOR: ** The place looked old inside, white table cloths and tables really close together, too close actually. The waiting area (the bar) was pretty dirty, it needed some cleaning. Normally it wouldn't matter, but it is a restaurant after all. There's also an old dingy smell that hung in the air, probably coming from the carpet, it looked like it hasn't been cleaned in a while. WAIT TIME: * We went on a Saturday night. We got there at 7:15pm and was told there's a 15-20min wait. 7:45pm came and still no table. We asked the hostess and she said, "people are leaving, we'll get you seated soon." There were 2 other couples waiting that came after us, at 8pm, they sat them before us. We finally came up to the hostess and after apologizing to us, she sat us at 8:10pm. 55 minutes wait. FOOD: ** We ordered the sausage with garlic noodles and the baked chicken. Our meal also came with sourdough bread, soup and salad. Bread and soup were good except for the wilted and really oily salad, which had a blonde strand of hair, so we didn't eat it. The sausage had a weird old taste to it, i didn't like the way it was cured, but that's just a matter of taste, but there was no excuse as to why it was overcooked, tough and rubbery and was so hard to cut. I only ate one, and it's because I was hungry. The baked half chicken was seasoned well, but it was on the dry side, it wasn't anything special. Just like any rotisserie chicken you can buy at a grocery store for $6. The couple we were talking to at the bar raved about the food. They liked the flank steak and the rack of lamb. I'm sure they're good. Maybe we ordered wrong. I'll pass along their recommendation. But do consider our review when ordering the chicken and the sausage. By the way, their sodas are flat. Maybe the soda machine needs fixing. SERVICE: * This is where it matters most to me. A restaurant is a service industry and customer service is paramount on whether they'll see you once or a repeat customer. I would have been willing to give this place another try but the service is really lacking. We came at 7:15pm, didn't get seated until 8:10pm, main dishes didn't come until 8:50pm. The place closes at 9pm and we barely started our dinner. It was a good 10min before our server came to our table, so the hostess, thankfully, got us our bread. Our server was rude, she didn't even say sorry for making us wait or introduce herself, she just said, "what can I get for you?" We gave our order and when I told her I'd like to change my drink she seemed annoyed. The food took forever, the hostess came to use 2x to let us know it's coming, no server once again to update us. We found out that there was a room full of people in the other room that they are all catering to. By the time we got out of there, it was already 9:30pm. They were also rude to one another. Yelling at each other across the room or making snide comments in front of everyone. It was just an overall negative experience. We're not stopping anyone from dining there but we wanted to add our experience to the mix. Hopefully the restaurant will see this review and make some positive changes in order to keep customers coming in. read more

The Good: Friendly Employees? The Bad: Just about everything else. Made reservations weeks in advance for 7pm. Arrived at 6:15 and got some pretty strong drinks in the bar area. Come 7pm, we were told our wait would be 20 mins despite the reservation. Did not get seated until 7:30pm. After ordering soon thereafter, we waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. Finally at 8:45, our server FINALLY apologized for the wait and said it would be out shortly. Come 9:00, another lady (I believe who was the manager) came and told us that our food was coming out "Now" (She said "now" at least three times). She tried offering us free dessert or wine and we told her multiple times all we wanted was our food. "now" became a five minute wait, at which point we agreed to take a (cheap) bottle of wine home. Food did not arrive until 9:20!!!! Now that we waited so long, the food had to be worth the wait, right? WRONG. My rack of lamb was bland and nothing to write home about. Worse, despite requesting au gratin potatoes, the waitress dropped off the food and said, "We're out of au gratin potatoes so everyone gets fries" and then left. My fiances' chicken was also nothing to write home about. Everyone else at the table had equally poor reviews. So after the 2.5 hr wait, the lack of au gratin potatoes, and the subpar food, it can't get much worse, right? Wrong again. As compensation, all we were comped was a side of blue cheese and a cheap bottle of wine. Thats it. Not even one free entree. Nothing. Unbelievable. Avoid this place at all cost. read more

This place is fun. The restaurant has been around since 1940 and continues to serve the food in the traditional "family style" - everyone sits together at a long cafeteria-like table. Food is passed around as if you were having Thanksgiving with your family. If you are not interested in socializing with strangers then shy away from the family style lunch. For $15, you get an all-you-can-eat Basque meal - soup, salad, bread with blue cheese, two meats, sides, and wine all included (other drinks and dessert extra). The meats and sides change every day - I've had fish, lamb chops, blood sausage, and short ribs on various visits. The food is fantastic; well cooked and savory. It's clear you are not getting pre-cooked offerings. Everyone I have brought with me has left happy. Did I mention it's all-you-can-eat? The food is served at noon sharp so don't be late! If you are not into the "family style" offering they do have a regular menu, as well as separate tables and a bar, however the reason for visiting is the family style lunch. It's a fun experience. read more

I chose this place for Valentine's Day with my girlfriend based on the majority of the good reviews here. Unfortunately, my experience did not live up to expectations.. We pulled up to the gravel parking lot and walked across to the entrance. We were seated promptly after arriving a bit early for our appointment. I noticed what others had mentioned earlier in that the place smelled old and musty. We ordered the Poulet Basque and the Breaded Shrimp. The chicken came out a bit dry and tough, though the seasonings were good. The kitchen made a mistake by giving me french fries, where I had ordered au gratin potatoes. They took back the french fries and replaced with potatoes, but there were considerably less potatoes than french fries for portion size. My girlfriend's dish was even worse. Her pasta was overcooked, oily, and tasteless. The only thing that had taste was the shrimp and the accompanying sauce. The shrimp tasted like it was previously frozen. She was pretty upset at this experience not only because of the food, but especially since the servers were unusually aggressive in trying to clear our plates. Overall, service and food quality was mediocre at best. It isn't the best place for a date night at all... read more

Spent my birthday here and enjoyed it so much! For 18 dollars you receive soup, salad, bread, cheese, two servings of meat and french fries. Did I mention unlimited wine? Its a really great place to spend time with loved ones and dine like royalty :) Also, a great way to meet others a the family style tables! read more

I love coming here to eat at the boarders tables. The food is served family style with all you can drink wine. You will not walk away hungry. If you are lucky enough to be there when they serve pigs feet you are in for a treat. I don't know what their regular dining room is like because I never eat there. Do yourself a favor and try some Basque food. read more
