We were looking for a new experience in dining and found it at The Tenth Street Basque Cafe. Our family of 9, with the kids ranging from 4 to 15, set out to do something fun for the evening and did just that. We arrived as the doors were opening and entered the cozy little farmhouse to find it welcoming... More

It's hard for me to fathom how anyone could write an excellent review on this restaurant unless they ate here while a food critic was evaluating it and the owner had prepared something we didn't have. The meal started with a good bread and tapenade followed by an average creamy tomato vegetable soup. The next course were supposed to be... More

Best food I have ever had. So much fun to eat and talk for hours. Meet new people and the host, Dallas. Go, you won't regret it ever. More

I was in the cafe tonight and thoroughly enjoyed the evening with one exception. You had a party of about eight folks who didn't seem to enjoy themselves and were extremely unpleasant. They were rude and disruptive and obviously had no clue as to the relaxed atmosphere of this wonderful cafe. They complained about everything and left before dinner was... More

It's not just good food, not just friendly staff, or the unique family style experience...make an evening adventure out of this wonderful little gem of a restaurant! While down in San Luis Obispo, I was challenged with trying to find a cuisine that we hadn't been to before. Being a huge foodie and world traveled I thought this would be... More

I live in the Santa Ynez Valley and drive through San Miguel ... pffffft ... who knows how many times, always on the way to somewhere, or on the way back from the same or a different somewhere. And I always think, "I should stop here in San Miguel and check it out; it looks like an interesting place" ...... More

Compliments of the chef - started with home made bread and olive spread. Very delicious. For lunch, my boyfriend had steak sandwich and I had salad and paella dish. We both had very large glasses of ice teas. Overall very good food and cute atmosphere. Everything came to about 30 dollars and was well worth it. There are no menus,... More

Having read the reviews, we were very excited about our evening at the Tenth Street Cafe. The food wasn't worth it, the drink wasn't worth it, and the service definitely wasn't worth it. We have eaten at Basque restaurants around the country and this definitely was the worst. The menu was uninspiring and the quantities were sparse (one small chicken... More

This is my favorite restaurant around here. I would love to go more often. Everything I have had has been so good! We like to go for special occasions like Father's Day and anniversaries. More
