Good food but not quite Basque. Basque Norte is famous in at least Northern California for not being founded by Basques or having Basques on its staff. So if you are looking for sweetbreads or other traditional Basque dishes this may not be you. Nevertheless, its main dining room features a full scale American menu with options to have dinners ala carte. The food is generally well prepared and you can eat well for less than $25 per person including a glass of wine. The real feature for us is the extensive bar seating area that has a wide range of affordable small plates ranging from $5-$9 each (including a fine sliced beef tonque dish). We have always found the service prompt and friendly with a good range of local and California wines. An owner or manager is usually on site and pitches in so customers are not kept waiting.
Blah. I’ve eaten here a couple times (few years apart). I honestly don’t understand how anyone can like this restaurant. Perhaps the steak is good, I wouldn’t know, because by the time the steak comes everything else has been so horrible that i’m already inclined to not like it. I don’t mean to be harsh but I just don’t find vinegar soaked green beans and pasta with no sauce except for maybe oil and pepper (seriously – no cheese or anything) to be palatable. Maybe I went on bum nights but I won’t be giving them another shot. Just down the street is the Gooney Bird which is just ok but compared to this place seems like food from heaven.
Amazing!. I just checked it out for the first time and I have lived in Chico for over 20 years! The steak was to die for and I love the marinade-it’s not to overbearing but I didn’t need my usual A-1 either-perfect. I am surprised they aren’t busier with how much you get with your entree.Will be back!!!!
Best steaks in town, more food than you can eat, serious bang for your buck. The bartender/owner is always smiling, makes you feel welcome. Stiff drinks, never stingy. Great service, always pleasant. Try the marinade on your own steaks, soooo good!! Basquenorte.com
