There are little details everywhere you look and it feels fun, warm and intentionally designed without trying too hard. It is such a great space for a gathering. The food was delicious. I tried the weekly deviled eggs, a selection of charcuterie and cheeses, and the whipped feta dip with fresh cut veggies. Everything was fresh, flavorful and perfect for grazing during a cocktail-style event. The winter cranberry spritz was basically all of my favorite flavors in one glass. So so good. Their cocktail and mocktail menu really shines and I cannot wait to go back and try more. As someone with food intolerances, I asked plenty of questions and everyone was friendly, patient and helpful with both menu guidance and cocktail suggestions. That always makes such a difference. There was even parking, which is a huge bonus. This is the perfect spot for a winter cocktail party or a fun night out. I will definitely be gathering my girls and heading back soon.

It's also a great time whenever you run into local legends Len Cabral and Rose Weaver If you like jazz, good food and drink in a location with a real neighborhood vibe, I highly recommend checking it out! Plenty of available parking, both on the street and in the private lot next to the dry cleaners on the corner, where there are dedicated spots for Blue Room patrons.

Upon entrance is a doorman who is so friendly and accommodating! He found us an open table and checked on us throughout the night. The place was packed and they only had maybe 5 or 6 employees so the service was a little slow but understandable. I think the longest wait was about 20 minutes when we were waiting to get our initial drink order taken, but everything after that was fairly quick. For drinks I got a thin mint martini because they were out of the chocolate reuge martini I wanted. It was so yummy and came with 3 thin mint cookies. My mom got a pistachio martini and the Jefferson Tea. Both were pretty good but I wouldn't order again. My dad got Dead Mans Redemption which is good if you like bourbon. It comes with a wood topper and they light it on fire, let smoke fill in the drink, and then take the wood off. The drink then has notes of smoked wood in it which is cool. For food we got the crispy spring rolls and pepperoni flatbread. Both were so good!!!! It was absolutely worth the wait!!! I could eat the whole flatbread myself it was that good and I can't wait to go back and get another one. The crowd is definitely much older, not a lot of younger people around. It's a good date night for married couples. Overall it was a nice place and I would come back.

I had perused the menu so I knew what I wanted. The on site bread with roasted garlic and high quality balsamic vinegar and olive oil , you cannot help but over do on the bread. We split a Caesar salad which was done perfect not overloaded with dressing. We would both loved anchovies but it was a winner . I had the Basta chop with the lobster sauce on the side . The presentation was spot on with the bone in on the plate . I upgraded the side to lobster risotto instead of the pasta marinara . Which was a good simple freshly made marinara . My husband had veal Milanese . He could cut his with a fork it was so tender . I saved room for dessert for a house made very berry sorbet which did not disappoint. Lots of moving parts inside large bar, private party. Constant water refilling and taking away if plates . If you you are ever lucky enough to go there , you'll want to hurry back . They have several light dishes pizza appts etc. Of course our server Taylor was top notch , lots of young busses being trained in the art of hospitality.

The ambiance was absolutely beautiful, intimate, and perfectly set for such a special evening. The service was amazing as usual -- attentive, warm, and seamless even on one of the busiest nights of the year. And the food? Incredible. Every single time. We dine here often, and what I appreciate most is the consistency. It is always delicious, always beautifully prepared, and always exceeds expectations. One of my personal favorites is the veal chop -- but fair warning, it's definitely a two-person chop! Generous, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. However on this night we had the lobster à la bomba and the surf and turf! They didn't disappoint. Honestly, anything I've ever ordered here has been executed to the highest standard. If you're looking for romance, exceptional service, and unforgettable food, Basta never disappoints. It's truly a gem.

Good pick of oysters, chocolate mousse cake also very good. Really cozy atmosphere, I like that it's in a basement. Minor critiques: $12 was a little crazy for how tiny a piece of cake we got, but prices otherwise were fine. It's louder than a speakeasy place would typically be and other reviews tell me that wasn't a one-off but not a big deal. Their website does make a bit of a to-do about "proper dress" so we rolled in probably more than a little overdressed - don't take that too much to heart if you're looking into the place. Overall a nice spot!
