    The food was just okay and the service was uneven . There were three of us dining at El basque and our first server could answer no questions and had to consult with or bring over another to answer questions . After ordering it was approximately 52 minutes until our entrées arrived . Others who came after us were served before us. The onion soup was fine . The escargots never showed up . They finally after serving the entrees said they forgot it but would get it right out though we declined at that point . The seafood with squid ink was unappetizing and flat in flavor . The basque poultry was bland as well . The coq au vin was average as well. All in all it was disappointing .

    We had the pleasure of eating there Saturday, it had been almost a year and a half which was too long to be away. Our service was excellent, food and wine recommendations excellently paired. The attention of both the chef and server above and beyond. We were impressed and had a lovely evening which is what we set out to do.

    The place was small, nice and cozy Service was very very good The menu was interesting, we ordered The food was good but for diners with no high expectations or knowledge about the food from that region, it was missing the real taste with a punch that basque and French food gives the diner Overall good and again the coziness of the place and the service was really good I am sure that local diners will enjoy Basque

    El Basque is our very favorite Bonita Springs restaurant. The atmosphere takes you on a dellightful trip to northern Spain. The wine and food choices are creative and delicious. All the pinxtos are delicious. The duck is supurb and the seafood stew is another favorite. You just cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Bravo for another great meal.
