We were heading into Carson City and looked on Yelp for a place to have breakfast. Boy, are we…read moreglad we found the Villa Basque Cafe! Here is what we noticed: - It's a pretty unassuming place...we parked in the side lot and walked around to their main entrance. They even had some specials highlighted as we entered. - Inside there is lots of seating...when we arrived the front of the place was empty, but people were sitting there when we left and we noticed that it is much quieter in that section of the restaurant than in the main dining room. - As others have noted, chorizo is their specialty and it's in many of the dishes. And, it is worth it!...and, not spicy like you might think of chorizo. My wife and I ordered the Quesadilla and the Basque Omelette, and we split both (plus, we took some home too). Each dish was really good in its own right, and being able to have the chorizo prepared two ways was great. Their home fries were really tasty too. - Service was good....very attentive, especially considering that it took us a while to decide what to order given the breadth of the menu. - We paid cash because of their sign indicating that that was preferred. Bottom line: We'd go back to Villa Basque Cafe anytime we're in Carson City...next time, we'd like to try some of their lunch options!

I was near this area and instantly thought of lamb anything. I settled on lamb stew…read more The lamb stew came with some garlic bread. it had some carrots and potatoes in the stew.

Atmosphere inside was like a theme park so much going on. Highly recommend definitely will be back!

They had the banner for best brunch 2025 hanging nicely. Diane, the owner, put us on the waitlist and also showed us to our table. Very warm welcome! We started off with coffee. Hubby had the Chorizo Quesadilla and enjoyed it very much. The portion was enough for 2 meals. Sure enough, he took half home. I had the Coconut French Toast, the small portion. Even though it's supposed to be small, I still left some on my plate. Love the fresh sliced bananas with it! There are more menu items we would love to try. Just need to come back and visit again!

What was good, was good: I had the eggs Benedict with home…read morefries. The home fries came out hot from the stove, lightly spicy and very tasty. The poached eggs were done perfectly and the English muffins were not burnt. (I have, unfortunately, experienced that before at another location.) My sister's breakfast was the corn beef hash, which really did look homemade, (unlike another restaurant in the area that served me what I believed was canned corn beef hash with almost soup texture.) her fruit was ripe. I do believe she very much enjoyed the breakfast. I may not be 100% correct on this, but I was rather disappointed in the hollandaise, it was a bit 'flat'. As far as I can tell, it was not true hollandaise. Most probably it was an egg Béchamel. It had a very creamy texture, a small tendency to congeal on the top, and lacked the bright zing of lemon and buttery texture and flavor of true hollandaise. Indicators, its lack of a slightly translucent and glossy finish, the lack of the acidity of lemon juice or vinegar, and did not weep butter, but instead seem to thicken and form a slight crust as I finished the Benedicts. The egg, Benedict were very tasty, but the hollandaise sauce with disappointing. (I really do like a good hollandaise.)

There's not a whole lot, not to love about this place. A restaurant and a concert hall in one? Oh…read moreyea! Owned and operated by a guy that has been swimming in the live entertainment industry for just about his whole life. Please Carson Citty, realize what you've got here and keep this place alive! We do not have any good places for shows in this town. OK, on to the food. My family and I had our Christmas get together here. We had a bunch of apps and I myself had the shrimp and grits. Super rad flavor on the grits and the apps were outstanding! The service was top tier and John gave us a little tour of the venue. Can't wait to see a show after a solid meal soon! Great atmosphere and a great addition to kick ass cuisine in Carson City. Lots of rad memorabilia on the walls and the owners have great stories about every single item in the place. I love that this place is here for us and I hope they feel the love from the area. I thoroughly enjoyed our time here and you should too. Keep Carson City Social!

Years back my husband and I wanted to try them out but we went in on a random Saturday morning and they were closed. My dad was admitted to this hospital a little over a year ago but I was not able to try it, so it was time! The first thing I wanted to try was their breakfast! I walked over to the ready made selections and I assumed it was just like regional where the only thing they offered were premade. Since I assumed, I went ahead and tried their sausage and egg English muffin sandwich, which is my go to at regional! After I paid I noticed there were a group of people to the side waiting for their orders. I looked to the right of the cashier and I saw they had made to order omelettes! I was bummed I didn't see that in the first place or else I would have ordered it! The price of the sandwich was about $3.50 and the omelettes were $3, which is a great deal! The breakfast sausage english muffin sandwich was similar to the one I regularly eat at Regional, but I don't think they butter the bread here, which is good on my heart and arteries! It's definitely something I would recommend to try! I am so used to picking up Starbucks at regional that when I ordered my sandwich I decided to just get drip coffee, which wasn't labeled. I then I realized i should have just made coffee in my office but it was ok, it did it's job! During the lunch hour, my husband, who's office is about a block away, decided to join me and we went straight to the menu to the right of the cashier. Everything was priced great! I ordered the tuna melt with fries and he ordered patty melt with onion rings. Both were priced pretty good, about $3 for each sandwich, the fries were $1, and onion rings $2. My coworker told me the quesadillas were good as well! The sandwiches and onion rings were hot and fresh but the fries seemed like they were sitting there for a little bit, but they were battered similar to flowing tide fries! Still yummy! Both times I went throughout the day, they offered a small cold section with salads, fruits, yogurt, and a refrigerator stocked with bottled drinks. They didn't have a soda fountain available. They also had an area for snacks including slim Jim's, trail mix, etc. condiment packed were stocked and I was glad to see they had cholula offered which is a change from Tabasco at regional. Next time I do want to try the made to order foods that they offer! This makes me miss the made to order ways we had a regional. I had the same cashier both times and he was so sweet, all smiles and was so welcoming! The tables were limited but it was like a well oiled machine; as soon as people were done at the table, they got up to make way for others to sit. I really like that the area was well lit with big windows to let natural light in. My husband and I were reminded of being at a hotel. I grew up eating hospital food since my mom was a nurse for 24 years so I never look down on cafeteria food. The quality isn't what you'll find at a 5 star or a Michelin star restaurant, but if you're at the hospital and hungry whether you're a guest or an employee it's worth it!

The saving grace was the wonderful lady who took the order in her stylish glasses so friendly and welcoming! And the fries were crunchy yet no Heinz tomato ketchup. The cakes at the entrance looked interesting. The Italian cookie was too sweet like dosing on spoonfuls of sugar. Salty and sweet a balance would have been nice. The raspberry center got stuck to the parchment paper bag. The Tiramisu was ok, nothing to write home about let alone finish. The extra hot latte was as expected. Extra Hot and delivered the caffeine dose needed. Ambiance is nice. We would have liked to be regulars. For the cakes or honey. Found the carne asada tacos at Centro market (first time) more delicious, 20 mins after sharing a sandwich here. Go there!

After moving to Genoa almost 6 years ago, Gayle and I finally set foot in JT Basque, the iconic…read morerestaurant in the Carson Valley (Daniels in Genoa is #2). And we brought some Bay Area friends with us. We also came in mid-week to avoid any crowd potential. Our evening began at the bar with a round of Picon Punch, the official drink of the State of Nevada. I first thought that this was a drink that you only ordered once, but this small glass of goodness actually grew on us. After closing the bar bill and looking at all the branded merchandise, it was off to the main dining room. We chose the Basque Family Style side of the menu, which at the end of the evening resulted in number of take home containers. Our 4 choices were Basque Chicken, Fish, Lamb Shoulder, and Lamb Chops. Those came with Vegetable Soup, Salad, Beef Stew, Beans, French Fries, Bottle of Red Wine, Coffee, and Ice Cream. for the Table. These inclusive choices were priced just south of $40 and that's what the bill was at the end of the evening, as there were no extras needed. OK, the included wine was a little on the sweet side, but we didn't see the need to "upgrade" as we were too busy concentrating on the food. It was all good, especially the Soup and the French Fries. The only regret was not being here on the night they served Huckleberry Ice Cream, but our Vanilla or Pistachio Almond was good enough. JT Basque is family generation owned, and we certainly felt welcome and well taken care of. The rustic decor was also cool, as was the happy energy in the dining room. We promise to come back and not be strangers.
