    Fantastic authentic Basque, food superbly executed by chef Hector. I’m a very picky customer as I went to Culinary school and I think most restaurants in the area don’t live up to their billing. This one, however, exceeds it in spades everything was perfectly cooked and prepared with a beautiful presentation. Food was very tasty and authentic it’s one of my favorite restaurants in the whole Bay Area. I urge you to run not walk to this restaurant. It’s a gem.
