Abdul, our bartender, remembered my name, which made us feel genuinely welcomed and valued. It's those personal touches that create a memorable dining experience. During our meal, we accidentally ordered the wrong paella. We knew it was our mistake and never intended to ask for a replacement. However, the owner overheard our conversation and immediately stepped in to make it right without hesitation. That level of hospitality and customer care is rare and speaks volumes about how they treat their guests. The attention to detail extends to the bar as well. Their Old Fashioned is made the way it should be--with a large ice block that keeps the drink cold without watering it down. As John Taffer often says, "If an Old Fashioned doesn't have a large ice block, they're not paying attention to detail." Basque clearly does. If you're looking for outstanding food, exceptional service, and a restaurant that truly cares about its customers, I highly recommend Basque. Give it a try--you won't be disappointed.

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.

As Dana mentioned, when you walk in the building, you will need to turn left and walk past the lively bar (where there will likely be a round football game on TV), before you arrive at Aldeia. Far more subdued than its neighbor on our weekend visit, with well spaced tables draped with white tablecloths, the overall effect is of eating at your avó's after Sunday mass, when important company has been invited over: homey, but special occasiony. Aldeia features simple, straightforward Portuguese standards. There are a lot of grilled options and seafood options, a whole section for bacalhau preparations. (Menu here: https://www.portugueseculturalcenter.org/restaurantmenu) For those who are unused to the practice in Portugal and many other parts of Europe, be aware that there is a couvert -- bread and olives brought out automatically at the start of the meal, for which there is an extra charge. You can refuse it as we did at first. (I hate when our littles fill up on bread and butter and eat nothing else during the meal.) But when the appetizers we ordered (e.g. chouriço) came without the described bread, we relented and asked for the couvert. I was mildly irked at being strong armed into oredering it at first, but those slightly spicy black olives were good enough that I couldn't stay mad for long. We shared a few appetizers: - Chouriço assado - chouriço flambe ("chouriço served on fire with bread") -- Flames are always a hit with the littles and they enjoyed the fat, snappy-skinned, smokey sausage, broiled to taste. The chouriço was chunkier than many commercial versions, conceivably house made. (We've had similar from Erika Nakamura and Jocelyn Guest.) - Frango à passarinho ("fried chicken") -- Undersalted by our standards, not noticeably seasoned, but the chicken was admirably moist, quickly fried at high heat. We are more accustomed to the Brazilian version of this dish and missed the accompaniment of lime and cilantro. - Caldo verde -- a version where a small amount of potato or other starch had been completely pureed into the soup with a small amount of kale and a few bits of chopped chouriço. This was a little too much like Knorr's for my tastes. I personally prefer versions where potato and kale have a less wimpy presence. - Salada de polvo ("octopus, onions, peppers and herbs") -- I am a sucker for this dish (no pun intended) and loved the roughly chopped versions I had at humble seaside cafes in the Azores especially. This version was a elevated version with finely minced onions and peppers, a good amount of olive oil, and delicate slivers of slippery-skinned polvo playing hide and seek in this suspension. - Robalo escalado (grelhado, alho e azeite, vegetais e batatas cozidas) -- The fish was on the smaller side, but fresh and impeccably grilled. Vegetables -- a few broccoli florets, batons of carrot, and potatoes -- were served boiled. It's not my favorite treatment, but they were made far more palatable with the dressing of minced garlic still pale from a quick sautee in oil. - Frango grelhado ("grilled chicken, rice and fries OR small salad and vegetables of the season") -- The Pardner's good angel didn't stand a chance against the prospect of rice AND fries, but sadly, when I tasted it, the rice was a bit hard and the fries soggy, undersalted, and -- oh cardinal sin! -- not served with ketchup. :) The chicken preparation again demonstrated some admirable culinary skills: it was wonderfully moist despite being sliced thin and grilled. But again, the preparation was underseasoned and undersalted for our personal tastes. Another note on authenticity: The service is very....... relaxed, as it is in the Azores and the homeland. We were the only diners in the establishment for some time, but there were long, long lags in service. I have to speculate that our server may have been working the bar room as well given how hard it was to flag him down. (He was quite nice whenever we succeeded in doing so.) It's a shame that I'm an impatient New Yorker. I try to relax into the wait, but I'm not sure I can entirely embrace that in this lifetime.

Great Portuguese food. They have great cod cakes and chicken. Seafood is really good as well. Portions are very nice. Only negative would be the restaurant decor/ambiance. It is a little dreary.

A cozy place to have a relaxed meal. Quiet for conversation. Like its cousins that we have eaten at - and had family affairs at the Tromonto Hawthorne location - the marriage of the Millwood restaurant seems to be a great fit. You can always judge an Italian restaurant by its Calamari. In this case it is top 10. Fritti Rings and tentacles ($21) lightly tempura were crispy yet easy to bite and tender to the palate. The sauce was spicy and perfectly balanced. The complimentary bread and spread were fresh and delicious. The Italian beer including a Peroni 00 non alcoholic beer were ice cold poured in a nice glass. A little expensive at $8 and $9. The Salmone ($35) was sweet fresh and tender and the caperberries (unique flavor, but gave the dish texture ) olive tapenade was just the right compliment to the sweet salmon. The pollo Cif e Ciaf - their version of off the bone Scarpello was delicious- tender chicken, hot spicy pepper strips and fork sized sausage. It could have used more sauce for dipping $32. The Zuppa Bombolini (from the Yonkers location) served warm with Carmel sauce are 5 sweet zeppelins made light with ricotta cheese and cinnamon sugar. I must compliment the restaurant on its flatware and plates which are equisite. The coffee and expresso were bold and perfect as was our service from Rindi L. The tall delicate glass of lemon cello was a perfect ending. Highly recommended.

We ordered wine and beer to start- on Happy Hour prices. We were informed of new items on the menu... I changed my mind 3 times; everything looked great. We decided to share the Jeep Koong as an appetizer. Edna is very particular about what she eats and b/c of her Latin heritage, fried fish was not out of the question. Out came a very large portion of fried red snapper in a Tamarind sauce and Brussels sprouts. She opted to omit the sliced jalepeno. I like Massaman Curry; their new offering had it made with lamb and Brussels sprouts, potatoes and sliced cashews. Oh boy. My recent bout with bleeding ulcers had me forego having it Thai spicy. Still plenty of time before the show but the restaurant was filling up fast. Dessert yes we chose to share puff pastry topped with coconut ice cream and coconut flakes. I was surprised to see Durian on the dessert menu or at least I didn't remember from the other time we visited the restaurant.
