Considering you're getting a 5 course meal WITH your entree, you definitely get your money's worth! I had the oxtail and my husband had the rabbit. Both were succulent and rich! The house red wine paired well with everything. The only disappointment was that when...dessert came, they had run out of their basque cheesecake, something I was really looking forward to. Would recommend and would return!More

We stopped by here after a few drinks a block away. They were booked for an event so we had to sit at the bar. We ordered the sweetbread fries. The less adventurous among us wouldn't eat them, but I thought they were very good,...even if they were a little salty.More

I love lamb chops, so was looking forward to a delicious meal. Two lamb chops, I tried to eat one, brought the other home. The one I ate was chewy and tasteless--what a complete and total disappointment! Hoping the other one is better--I'll find out...tonight. For $42 --and at a Basque restaurant, I expected MUCH better. Service was good.More

Excellent warm and family feeling environment and the food was delicious! Each of enjoyed what we chose to eat, we came with a local friend and treated like long lost friends. Definitely will be back and send others their way.

To start the meal the soup was clam chowder, which I that was a little odd. It came and the looks reminded me of the soup from the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie. Surprisingly enough it did have very good flavor. The bread that...came with it was obviously store bought and had us thinking it had come off the day old shelf. The beans and salad that came next had zero flavor. I really wanted to like the chorizo and beans but even adding salt, pepper, and tobasco did not help them. We were one of the first tables of the day and for the main course they were already out of some of the already limited menu. So I got the shrimp which was good but my wife and father both got steak and both were way over cooked. The service was good, but definitely not the Basque experience we had when we where in Elko .More

Wonder fresh food and great service. We came the end of lunch and were still served. Salmon was done perfectly with a light sauce.

Service was super. Our server was friendly, informative, and good. The food was good, but have had better in Los Banos and Bakersfield. If you like the Basque atmosphere this is worth a visit when in Reno

Just got back from a trip to Reno, and the best part? Louis' Basque Corner!! I was with a tour group of 85 people and the service was perfect. The staff really hustled to get our orders and all the food out. I was really...impressed. Food was soooooo good. Everything they served us was good! It was a fixed menu, family style, with your choice of steak, shrimp or pork. Everybody enjoyed their choices. The only complaint: Too much food!! I hope you can donate the left overs?? There was so much food left over!More

One of the anticipated highlights of our trip. The return to Louis' Basque Corner for a Basque Food Extravaganza! Served Family Style at long communal tables.where you can make new friends. Vegetable Soup with Tomato broth/Potatoes/Carrots/Onions/Celery, Salad, Pinto Beans, Fries, Chicken Legs in Tomatoes/Peppers/ Onions,...and Main Courses.Nang had Grilled Salmon in Caper/Parsley Cream Sauce. I had Lamb Sweetbreads with Garlic/Peppers/Onions. Either Ice Cream with Chocolate Syrup or Cheese/Grapes for dessert. What a feast! Our waitress has worked there for years and the newer waiter James was a hoot.More

We ate here on the first night we arrived in Reno, which was a Sunday. The food, drink, and service here is great. We started with their signature drink: picon punch. We usually don't care for drinks containing bitters, but this concoction is balanced and...delicious. They also serve the best lamb chops we have ever had, and the side dishes are good too. My wife and I shared the entree, which was enough food for us. After our nine-hour drive, we were very tired and hungry, but not excited to be in a noisy, family-style seating arrangement (we didn't know this prior to our arrival); however, we met some very nice, interesting fellow travelers and had a good time. The communal carafes of red wine was nice, unexpected touch.More

Really friendly staff. If going for dinner, a reservation is recommended as they seem to fill up fast. Don't miss their "Happy Hour" because drinks are two for one. Deborah the general manager has been there forever and will make sure your visit and food...are perfect.More

Get ready for steam bowls of chicken, beans, soup accompanied by salad and bread served family style. The base menu is more than enough food, but the main courses are also excellent; we had the file mignon which was perfectly cooked and delectable. While not...haute cuisine, all of the food items are tasty and the portions are large. Hard to imagine not having enough left overs for dinner the following night. Good service and a fun vibe complete the experience in a Reno classic restaurant.More

With social distancing requirements, family style tables still used but there is a lot of distance between different families and dishes are not share among groups. Food is still great and there are mountains of it. Lamb chops were tremendous. Leg of lamb also good....Beans were as good as ever as were fries. Vegetable barley soup was excellent. Red wine blend competed favorably with picon punch. You can’t go wrong here and price is more than reasonable.More

Went with co-workers in the evening. We were going to eat in the main restaurant, but it was crowded, so we sat at the bar instead, and learned that the bar menu is different from the restaurant menu. They have only three burgers on the...menu, but all 3 are amazing (I have visited several times now and tried them all). For me, the house salad is an excellent side, but you can get a mountain of garlic fries if you prefer. Note that the bar food is reasonably priced, but the main restaurant is significantly more.More

No, unfortunately not at the bar but there are high tops set up close to the bar and they are welcome to eat there. I personally would rather take the child to the dining area in case it gets loud from the drinking customers.
