My first visit to this Basque restaurant so I enjoyed the family style meal with garlic chicken as my main course. The side dishes were excellent the chicken was moist inside and crispy on the outside. Wonderful meal. Excellent service from Lorenzo. If you enjoy Basque style dining you must visit. If you never tried Basque style family dining then surely you must visit.

This is a spot that consistently delivers. The daily specials are often the best thing offered and the lamb is a good fallback if the specials aren’t your thing. The food is tasty and very filling, many entrees can be split when considering the soup and salad that comes with the meal. I’ll definitely be back!

What a cozy little place! Friendly atmosphere, the people that work here are awesome. I had a glass of wine with my lunch, a turkey club sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries and it was perfect. A tad pricey IMO but I had a relaxing, enjoyable lunch. Not too crowded, not too loud. Service was quick and attentive.

I had heard about this for years and finally was in the area with enough spare time to stop and enjoy a meal. A very tasty lentil soup, nice green salad, savory bread and I chose the pork loin chops as my entrée , nicely done. The place as very quiet when we were there for lunch but that was a plus. It's an older establishment but in good repair, the bathrooms are clean the parking ample.

What a wonderful delight! Today my friend and I decided to revisit the Santa Fe Basque - it's been many years since either of us had enjoyed a meal there. My friend decided to take me there for lunch and what a fun, tasty and enjoyable lunch it was! We both ordered the full "set up". First in line was their lentil soup and baguette bread! Oh, heavenly! The first spoonful of soup and I knew that this was a lunch that would never be forgotten. As I knew what was in store for us with the rest of the courses, at first I thought I should forego the bread. Oh, what the heck! it is my birthday, try the bread! The bread rivals any bread that I have tasted in the Fresno area! Fresh with a crisp crust and oh, so soft inside. The lentil soup was so divine that I had to order a side to take home! The
