Reviews for Restaurant Basque in Tulsa, OK
The only reason i will give this place a 2 start is because the waitress.. We went for a 3 course wine and dinner night and i... was shocked at the lack of food and the price. (please keep in mind we do these diners every week without a problem) They servethis oxtail which is all fat and grotesque to say the least.. The next day I called and spoke with the owner (which was verynice) and told her that my girlfriend was up sick all night and all she gave me was excuses, (very disrespectful) I told her Ileft hungry and I did not agree with her pricing and felt like I was taken advantage of with that the lack of food.. She told menobody else called in sick and everybody else left full, which is not what you wanna hear when you?re calling to discuss aoverpriced ticket.. So many things I could say right now but I?m not going to?. So I spent $325 at this place and she offeredto send me a gift card ( thank you) which she did, which was worth 75 bucks, which I do not think is comparable to what I spentminus the tip and the ?kitchen fee?. I would not recommend this place to anyone in the entire state of Oklahoma. The food It?snot worth the price they are charging. The service is phenomenal however the portions and the food itself need lots of workespecially for price point. I also feel like they have a some learning to do from their big brother five star restaurants likeFlemings and Mahogany in which they are trying to charge.. Read more
Tried a few dishes and they were all good. The Spanish style menu was fun and I enjoyed the potatoes bravas (crispy potatoes).... The beef cheek was pretty good and the ham covered trout was worth having. The issue with this place was that it just didn'tfeel special nothing about it made me say wow! That's cool. The "tapas" theme is really fun and all, and the food was wellcooked and delicious but there was nothing really about it that made me want to come back... It's a wouldn't say no if a friendwanted to eat here but wouldn't suggest it as our next stop either... One thing that I think would be cool is a coordinatedmenu or groupings that all pair down well. Like mini tasting menus but where the staters/sharables/entrees/sides are allcoordinated to play off eachother the way the chef wants, instead of bumbling through the menu like I currently. Read more
A mixed bag of the quality of their menu items and their service, with a disproportionate price to match. While the concept of... this restaurant is very good, it doesn't deliver in a way that makes it worth the prices they are asking. The menu has someabsolutely phenomenal items, but also a good handful of items that are just poorly executed and disappointing, which is reallyunacceptable given their prices/portions and overall ability to obviously deliver well. The service was sometimes good,sometimes just plain average, with no real consistency in which you were getting. The venue was also very loud driven just bythe chatter of the guests, something the restaurant should really look into. Read more
We stopped in for a cocktail & dessert. Everything was fantastic & we also enjoyed the live music outdoors
We ate a little mix of everything from snacks to small plates and entrees and everything was delicious. Unique mixes of... ingredients. The restaurant was a little loud when I was there but the vibe is really cool...good for a date night or night outwith friends. I'll be back. Read more
Intimate ambiance. Very knowledgeable and helpful wait staff who are able and excited to help navigate the Tapas style menu. And... the drink menu will not disappoint- they put a lot of thought and care into every beverage that they craft before presenting itat your table. Read more
Giving out 5 stars to any establishment can be a dangerous thing if you haven't had every single item on their menu. But, one... can consolidate their experiences and rate them one by one. So, with that in mind, my FIRST trip here gets a FULL five stars. Itall starts with service, so shout-out to our waitress, Jennifer. Friendly, affable, sweet and super knowledgeable. She wasincredibly pleasant & I'd suggest you'd ask for her when you go. First up was the charcuterie board with Cana de Cabra cheese,Saucisson Rouge, Chorizo Picante and gluten free crackers. This was absolutely delicious and a great starter. Next up were theblack tiger shrimp with chimichurri & romesco, and they were fantastic. Kinda wish they were a bit bigger, but taste-wise, theywere fantastic. Next dish was the fried calamari (gluten free by the way) with shaved onion, squid ink & basque pepper... thiswas an absolute standout. They prepare this dish with rice flower and it is an absolute must try! Flavor was on point, and itcame with a type of crema that I forgot to ask about, but absolutely wanted more of. Next time I head over I'm trying out anentree. This is one of downtown Tulsa's best addition to its growing restaurant scene. Read more
