Ate here on a Saturday night, it was amazing! Food/wine/dessert were all fantastic, ate outside in this narrow vine covered passage that made us feel like we had gone through a portal to Spain or France. Definitely going on our list of favorites!

Honestly, much preferred when Bistro Basque and El Barrio were separate restaurants. The individual menus were more robust and each had a unique vibe. Now I feel like this place doesn’t know what it wants to be.

I get why the owner combined the 2 for Covid but to keep it that way long after Covid is just odd. To save money on front of house? I think it is hurting their business. You walk in and it’s unclear where you’ll sit etc. One entrance usually blocked.

Don’t get me wrong, food is still solid. But again I miss the full menus and the vibe of each place. Hopefully the owner brings that back. I know they’re busy with construction in building now.

This is a jewel of a restaurant. Food was top notch. I only wish that the entry, which is through the restaurant next door, was more clearly marked.

Lovely experience! Excellent food, very attentive service, and even got to hang out with a Basque gentleman. I'll come back next time we're in town!

Whether it's tapas and drinks or a full meal, absolutely love this place. Their "Horse & Buggy" cocktail with a splash of Pernods is fantastic. The champignons are amazing.

This place is a must go- the food here is amazing, everything I have had has a depth of flavor and I am always left satisfied. My favorite is the Monkfish Stew, which has an incredible balance of fresh seafood with a savory scalloped potato & tomato base, I crave it constantly!! Ambience is so inviting and comfortable it’s hard to not want to stay multiple hours, not to mention the owner & staff is also so wonderful, always helpful and kind, further adding to the whole experience!

Never had a bad experience here. It's a cozy atmosphere with great tapas. Never disappoints so much so we hosted a luncheon for over 30 people. Paulina, Porsha and the entire team made sure all my guests were taken care of and our day was a memorable one.
