Bask restaurant welcomes from Monday to Saturday, lunch (Monday through Friday) and dinner (Monday through Saturday). We specialize in dishes passed down from authentic chefs of the Basque country and feature a happy hour of daily prepared pinxtos spread across our bar. The drink menu offers carefully chosen wines from France and Spain, small production domestic selections, along with house made red and white sangria. We invite you to come pair your choice of wine or sangria with any of our specialties - Squid cooked in it"s own ink, Roasted Lamb Shanks, Paella Royale, Grilled Cod Filet, or the Basque Burger - among many others. But, save room for dessert; the Euskal Pastela (Basque Cake) is not to be missed.

We also offer a large selection of gluten free dishes.

    I arrived at Bask only to find out it wasn’t open! I had received the confirmation request text and confirmed. After 15 minutes of searching and two unanswered calls to the restaurant, I found the number to call Open Table about the problem. I was promised 1000 points for my trouble and that my reservation would be cancelled I’in a few minutes. My receiving this survey causes me to doubt that. Hopefully I’ll still get the 1000 points. I can’t imagine this happening to a large group or a business related lunch!

    The food was great, but the service was very spotty. The reservation meant nothing. We were on a limited time frame so we were hoping to be seated right away and instead waited almost 90 min. Other parties of the same size came in without reservations after us and were seated before us. The management was very rude as well when asked about this. When we were seated, our server did her best, but was clearly overworked and rushed us through our meal. Would recommend for food and if you don't mind a wait that could be of any amount.

    The food was excellent and perfect for our party of 6! Everyone loved the food and enjoyed the casual atmosphere! We will be back on our next trip to San Francisco! Highly recommended!

    Good food, friendly staff, but...they made us wait literally an hour for our reservation. As "Seinfeld" said, "You see, you know how to *take* the reservation, you just don't know how to *hold* the reservation. And that's really the most important part of the reservation: the holding. Anybody can just take them."

    The Tiger Prawns and Mushroom tapas were excellent. The crab Croquettes were ok, nice flavor but a little gummy. I thought the wine was expensive; $13 for a glass of pinot grigio. This was more than the food cost.

    I would not recommend this restaurant for large parties. They will not split the bill and will make the billing process severely painful. Go to barrel room instead.

    We were not greeted upon arrival, my friend and I even wondered if we entered thru the wrong door. I had to go toward the kitchen to get acknowledged by a gruff waitress that shooed me away as if she had already told me our table was being set up. Waters came promptly. But the food lacked authenticity. Either too salty (gambas and patats) or too bland (day old tortilla española). The gambas with mussels were totally off, as if they added and orange or grapefruit juice to the sauce, where traditionally it’s just olive oil and slow cooked garlic. Unfortunately, overall I was underwhelmed with my experience.
