I and my brother celebrated our birthday dinner at Centro Basco. Absolutely amazing as always. My family has been loyal customers since the 70s. If you can afford it I urge you to experience it. I had a ribeye for my entree. We went with a family style service. We had a great time. Peace big John

I finally went to try the paella on Friday evening. It did not disappoint. It has plenty of seafood: shrimp, clams, mussels. Also, a few pieces of Lukinka sausage and chicken drumettes. I’m a rice fanatic, so I would have preferred more. Insanely delicious and at$30 well worth it! I added the $8 to make it a meal which came with bread, butter, soup, beans, and salad. I loved the house made Bleu cheese that came mixed in and had a slice of Jack cheese on top. However, make sure to ask for tomatoes and onions if so inclined. I left very satisfied and definitely will return. Service was on the slow side, but very friendly.

This place is great. It was our anniversary and we decided to go out after a year or so not dinning out.

Centro Basco specializes in cuisine from the Basque country, which lies between parts of northern Spain and southern France.

First of all my wife is angry because there was a noisy wedding reception crowd that was spilling overson into the public dining area and the waiters didn’t bother to control the overwhelming noise pollution. My wife’s chicken tasted old and was overcooked. All of my family’s plates had the same exact sauce regardless of what they ordered. The bread tasted old and the butter was cheap. All dishes were plain with little to no seasoning which the cooking did not make up for. The meats of all dishes tasted like microwaved leftovers.

Centro Basque is a historic experience as much as it is a culinary one. Featured on their menu is food from the spanish-french countryside. While the price is in the mid 20’s and above it definitely meets the cost. The boarders special will definitely fill you up and changes daily to let you try various flavors. Last time I went it was salmon and steak with soup and salad and while not for me it came with a glass of wine. A wonderful place with delicious food.

We give 4 stars for service. Staff was attentive and friendly. The food, on the other hand was not good. Vegetables were not fresh. My husband ordered a 14 oz ribeye steak, cost $43.95, Totally overpriced! And it wasn’t good. I ordered calamari steak, tasted old. We wanted to like this place, but we can’t.

I love Centro Basco. I have been coming for years on weekends for the family style lunch and today I tried the dine in weekday lunch service and was not disappointed.

We have been coming here for several years. The family are wonderful people who love to show their heritage through their food! Their banquet room can be split into two smaller sections for smaller groups. Centro Basco should be on your “to visit” list!

Stopped with the family to try something new, and also because I watch the news segment on this place and the resident on the second floor. I have never been to a Basco so I did not know what to expect. The food options were definitely new, but delicious will definitely stop by again.
