" Chalet Basque exceeded my expectations! As newcomers to Basque food, we were warmly welcomed and guided through the menu. The setup was a generous spread of soup, beans, pickled tongue, and our choice of mains. We felt like we were dining at a family gathering. The ambiance was lively, but we were able to converse easily. Our waiter was attentive and checked on us frequently without being intrusive. Perfect evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance and I'm so glad we did! The setup was generous, and everything tasted freshly made. The decor is quaint, reminiscent of a traditional Basque home. Only downside was that it got a bit loud as the night progressed, likely due to the full dining room. Would recommend making a reservation during weekends. I am looking forward to coming back during our next trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit skeptical at first given the mixed reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was cozy, perfect for a date night. I ordered the rib-eye, and while the steak was okay, it didn't blow me away. On the other hand, the complimentary soup and salad were divine! I appreciate that the staff were friendly, but there seemed to be a moment when we were ignored as the restaurant got busier. " (*Curated Review*)

" My dining experience didn’t meet my expectations. While the ambiance was nice and the decor charming, the food was only mediocre. I can’t say it was a bad experience, but I’ve had better. I tried the steak, and it was overcooked, missing the seasoning I hoped for. Service was alright, friendly but a bit slow. I'm not sure if I’ll return for a while. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been coming here for years, and the food never disappoints! The traditional Basque setup with beans and pickled tongue remains a favorite for my family. New ownership seems to have infused a nice energy into the restaurant. Every dish has been consistently flavorful, although I wish there was more innovation in the menu. The interior feels welcoming, perfect for a family meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a Basque food lover, I was thrilled to try Chalet Basque. The food was delightful, especially the lamb chops and fried chicken. The service staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel welcomed. My only complaint was the noise from the bar area, as it disrupted our conversation. Overall, a great dining experience – I will definitely be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! This was my first time trying Basque cuisine, and I was blown away. The setup was an excellent variety and everything was delicious. The staff made sure we felt right at home, and the atmosphere was joyful. Although the prices were a bit on the high side, the quality made it worth it. Looking forward to coming back for more!
