    Came here on Saturday during lunchtime. The place got packed, but the service was outstanding and fast. Cocktails were nice and strong. Food... Food was excellent, both tapas and main course. So fresh, so flavorful, just mouthwatering. Definitely will come back to try other items from the menu.

    I’ve frequented lots of tapas restaurants when in Spain, and Basque tastes just as authentic!! We tried many tapas and they were all satisfying, especially the Shishito peppers and baby squid. Would also recommend the seafood paella and OF COURSE a pitcher of their red sangria! The tapas came out quickly and the staff was so attentive, polite, and lovely - really appreciated their service. Great local spot that I hope to visit again soon :))

    If you’re looking for a taste of Spain, then try Basque! The paella we had was a special for the night, but it was absolutely amazing. All of the seafood and rice was cooked to perfection and we couldn’t get enough! We also had the red wine braised chorizo tapas and it tasted delicious. I highly recommend getting the paella! It is a bit pricey but overall very worth the money cause you cannot beat the taste of the food. The servers were very nice and attentive. I appreciated their service so much. I definitely will come back and try more of the tapas.

    This restaurant not only has the most amazing food, but also the most amazing staff. Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. Especially our waiter, George - can’t say enough good things about him. We had a great experience here! Would 10/10 recommend and come back again. The paella and sangria is excellent 👌🏼

    I’ve been a serious foodie for 30 years in and around NYC and have not been this excited about a restaurant in our area since basque opened. They literally can do no wrong, from prime cuts of beef to the freshest of seafood. Benny the owner treats me and my family well like family! Good selection of wine some really great higher end wines I love. Must try’s are manchego frito, spicy tips and any of the paella…if you don’t do seafood order the meat paella it’s all so good I’m salivating writing this. I go every couple of weeks to get my fix! Oh try the pistachio tartufo for dessert…life altering!

    Was in area doing a bike fit. Decided to come here for tapas & good wine. Not disappointed at all, food was marvelous. Able to park bikes in rear patio. Tapas was a bit pricey but worth the quality. Wine was okay for $80 a bottle. Definitely worth a return trip to try the other dishes on menu. Service was good & nice ambiance overall. Busy crowd for Tuesday dinner 👍👍

    Delicious Spanish food. Everything was fresh and made to perfection. Cozy atmosphere. The grilled octopus is a must-have. Highly recommend.

    Prepare for a decent amount of waiting to be seated & for your food to arrive.I went at 8:30 & was seated around 9:15. I ordered the surf & turf paella which was seasoned very well. The only gripe was that the lobster tail was very dry & lacking any flavor. Unfortunately the server barely visited the table & didn’t even offer to refill our drinks the entire stay. All in all the food is prepared well, but the service is a weakness.

    4 of us were in town for the weekend for The Blaze. We stumbled upon this place. The food, atmosphere and service were all top notch. We enjoyed a couple of pitcher’s of the sangria, some apps, manchego , empanadas ( sooo good) along with the skirt steak and filet better prep and flavor than most every steakhouse and a tasty pollo ajuillo. Make sure to try the churros y chocolate for a little something. All in all a great pick. This is one to travel too, it’s just that good.

    We picked this place for trying out some good tapas and Paellas, and they didn’t disappoint. Just quality and sublime food served here. The restaurant is situated in the river banks of Piermont, there’s a parking lot, that literally has a pavement deck into the river. The restaurant is small, but has a nice bar and comfortable ambiance. The menu has nice collection of tapas, few Paellas , entrees, salad and soup. Lots of wine and drinks are also served here. We got the filet mignon and lamb chop tapas to start. They were prepared so well. Perfect temperature, tender meat, dishes made with complimenting vegetables. We ordered the seafood Paella for four. It takes about 25 minutes to prepare, so let them know asap. It was a massive, full of mussels, shrimps, clamps, scallops and baby squids. All served on top of yummy yellow rice. Four grown ups combined, we managed to finish only half of the plate, rest we took home and over next couple of days. It was still very delicious. We ended our lunch with Flan, that was sweet and soft. Overall we loved the food. But the service was little spotty, as we saw only one server attending all the tables. It was little overwhelming for the person, working in a full house shift. I also didn’t like the fact they charged for every soda refill, even though the glass holds least than half a can soda, filled with ice. Despite some of these shortfalls, I still recommend this place for the superior quality of their food.

    Busy weekend. Beat the line by sitting at the bar. Bar filled up as well. Outside relatively available. Busy bustling vibe similar, reminiscent to tapas bars in Spain! Food excellent. We had sangria roja & Estrella Galicia with Gambas, pan con tomate, Jamon Iberico, patatas bravas. Later seafood paella. For desert, churros con chocolate with cappuccino. Our favorite pan con tomate. Proxima vez, will skip jamon. We wrapped half of paella as portion for 2 quite generous.

    We visited Basque the other night with friends and were immediately caught up in the festive atmosphere. It feels like a celebration when you enter. Waiters were great, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend!

    I’ll definitely be back. I felt everyone in the building was having a good time, the food was excellent, and the staff was friendly. The bar seats are not reserved so we were able to post up for dinner on a busy Friday night.

    A really nice Tapas style restaurant located in beautiful Piermont. We really enjoyed it. The menu includes varied selection of Tapas and traditional dishes like Paellas, Wines, Sangrias and Spanish dishes. The bread was amazing! Recommended.

    Went on a weeknight in the middle of the winter and there was a brief wait - a testament to the quality that was implied by the aromas wofting toward the bar area from the dining room. Cozy small place right on the river. Once settled, we ordered from the very good wine list and were pleased to see that the small plate dishes were well prepared and a nice size for sharing. It's difficult to choose - Basque actually has a good variety on their menu; many tapas places pick and choose. Here we struggled to narrow it down. Everything was divine - and despite us forgetting to order a thing or two, we were stuffed! More for next time.

    Simply fantastic place! I had wanted to come here for a while and wasn’t disappointed. We had tapas to start with the fried marchego being a particular highlight, my only negative on the whole meal was that the squid tapas was lovely, but there wasn’t much of it. I have been to Spain many times and have had Paella numerous times, but the seafood paella here was one of the best! Great fun atmosphere and we will be back.

    We had a really fantastic first meal here on Sunday. We were a group of four (3 adults, one child) and arrived shortly after the 1 PM opening and many tables were already taken, and the food aromas were incredible-a good sign! The interior is intimate but not cramped, with space in Piermont being at a premium. Overall, we had a great experience with food and service and would return. The restaurant itself is not so fancy that you absolutely must dress up, and I also consider it child friendly for well behaved children, considering we had a six year old with us. Food ordered: * Albondigas picante (spicy meatballs)-These were on point with flavor and spice. The meatballs and the sauce were delicious and great for dipping bread into. * Pulpo a la plancha (my personal choice since I love octopus)-I don’t know what’s in Galician seasoning, but this dish was outstanding. The octopus was incredibly tender and I don’t think I’ve ever had octopus cooked that well. It was a flavorful and fun dish. * Vieiras rellenas (stuffed scallop shells)-These were good but let’s not kid ourselves, the thick slice of Applewood bacon was the star. The filling was good but a bit too much breadcrumb flavor for my personal taste. I felt it overpowered the seafood. * Gambas al ajillo (shrimp in garlic sauce)-This was probably my favorite dish, tied with the octopus. The shrimp was very well seasoned and flavorful and cooked well. * Croquetas del dia (croquettes of the day)-These were fine, I don’t recall the specific variety offered that day but they were fried and crispy on the outside, and creamy on the inside. I thought they could have used a bit more seasoning but the sauce on the side (mayo-based, aioli perhaps?) went well with them. * Marisco paella for two (seafood paella)- The portion is incredibly generous for 2, and considering all the other dishes the 4 of us had previously, we managed to get through maybe a third of the skillet. I’m not the biggest fan of the texture/appearance of mussels and clams, which this dish is generous with, so this wasn’t my choice, but I enjoyed the other seafood and the rice itself was flavorful. However, I was looking for the crispy bottom and though some of the rice was a bit toothsome, I missed the crispiness that paella is famous for. There were several scallops and shrimp and a few scant pieces of squid that were devoured. We were completely stuffed so of course, had to order dessert. I chose the churros con chocolate, which were thinner and more crispy and less chewy than any churros I’ve had previously. They were delicious and I really enjoyed the texture and the sauce that came with them. My MIL chose the apple galette, which similarly was well made, flavorful, and incredibly delicious. I had a glass of rose sangria that was fine. I usually drink and serve sangria cold and there were a few ice cubes but the drink was room temperature. I sometimes make sangria at home and it was no better than any that I’ve made, minus a point because it was warm. I had a pineapple mimosa after that, which was good. Overall, my personal favorite dishes were the octopus; shrimp; meatballs; and the churros. The food came out quickly, the service was attentive, refills were offered, clean plates were given for the paella, and overall, we had a great meal and experience.

    Good Spanish food. Chipirones, pulpo, paella, alcachofas, pan con tomate, albóndigas, y guisos varios. Very kind staff. Unfortunately the place is a bit dark and tries to fit the Spanish cliché with flamenco music in the background and easy replicas of Spanish art.

  • 5/5 RamO R. 2 years ago on Google
    Authentic Spanish food, all with a good flavor and fresh taste. This is a restaurant you MUST visit in Piermont. This is the second time I have visited this restaurant and it has not disappointed me with the wide variety of tapas, dishes and wines. The staff is very friendly and professional. If you don't know what to eat, don't be shy about asking what they recommend because I assure you that you won't regret it. Something that many want to know before going out to eat is the price, I tell you that they have very good prices and the portions they serve are good. Buen Provecho!

    Cozy little place near the water. Food was excellent! Paella is huge so you will need to pace yourself. We had a party of 4 with several Tapas including Fried Tuna, Fried cheese, artichokes, meatballs and a charcuterie board of meat and cheese. Topped it with the seafood paella for 4. The paella was too much for us. We could have done with a two person size or just skipped and had a couple more Tapas. Definitely will come back. Oh and we also had a the white sangria which went well with the meal.
