Nice place, but not worth price
Food was not good at all for the prices you pay. Nice bar and lounge, though.

A return trip!
I wrote the first negative review and returned five months later and had a much better meal. The bottom line: Follow the advice of the critics and avoid any entree described as simply grilled. You can do better and so can Bar Basque!

Delicious Modern Spanish Food
My husband and I wanted to check out Bar Basque since it just opened in October 2010. We figured they had to have a good restaurant week menu to woo in new clientele. And that they did. They had a comprehensive menu with a lot of options coming straight off their normal menu. Here's what we ordered the Crispy Farm Egg, Basque Paella, and Golden Snapper.

Beautiful space. Bad service. Not so good food.
The restaurant has amazing interior design. Wine was very good. But the food was mostly meh and not very warm. Desserts sucked. Service was pretty bad. Untrained, inexperienced, inattentive waitstaff. I still font know who was really our waiter...disappointing that the food and service don't come close to matching the decor.

weak service, overpriced food
went to bar basque on saturday night with another couple and had several apps and four entrees. while the waitress was nice, she disappeared for stretches, and the back staff had to be flagged down to clear plates and water refills. of the apps, the "spicy shrimp" was bland and the razor clams were decent, but at $19 should have been better. grilled seabass entree was nice, but unremarkable. the suckling pig entree was fantastic though, best thing of the night. paella was a huge disappointment, rice soggy and bland. the shellfish were overcooked to inedible. the rice did have nice pieces of cuttlefish mixed through. reccomended wines were tasty. better meals all over the city for better value. and better spanish food at tia pol or boqueria. be careful with this place.

Interesting space, intriguing menu
The interior of Bar Basque may give a shock upon first glance but have to admit it is different from some of the other new offerings out there. Chodorow has taken a risk but it somehow comes together well. The charcuterie plate is well executed, the paella was good but the helping was a bit small. Wine and whisky selection quite diverse and worth exploring.

Go for the view, but not the food
It took 30 minutes beyond our reserved time to be seated. Drinks at the bar were good. After being seated, we were forgotten. We finally stopped a server and asked to order. My bread and garlic soup was all bread, no soup to be found. The razor claims were sandy. I also tried the shrimp with garlic and garbonzo beans, don't bother.
