De Basiliek restaurant is a splendid fusion of Italian and creative multicultural culinary…read moredeliciousness. The descriptions on the menu can be enigmatic but it's impossible to be disappointed with the chef's masterful creations at Basiliek. My friend and I came to enjoy a night out and celebrate our 38 years of friendship and toast to many more. The cocktails are refreshing and the dishes are phenomenal. We shared the very creative and surprising rock shrimp appetizer, and enjoyed the cooked to perfection eggplant entree and the fine spicy mackerel salad. The flavors of the dishes are unique and succulent. For dessert we had the date-chocolate cake with ice cream and a special limoncello smoothie! Our server, Irene fro Salamanca, Spain is incredible! She went above and beyond to make our celebration unforgettable. Highly recommended!!

It's honestly a surprise from the moment we arrived, because there wasn't a set menu and we didn't know what to expect! The food came out quicker than expected. The seasoning of everything was on point. The fish was fresh and cooked to the right tenderness. My husband and I finished everything (like no bite left behind) in 90 minutes! (You can see how big the fish was in the photo!) I got to say on a side note that the seats are quite small and uncomfortable. I should have taken advantage of their coat area. I was out and about for 6 hours and bought a ton of stuff from museums and markets. There was not enough space for me to put my stuff at my seat at all.

Upon ordering you can a cup of shrimp crackers traditionally seen in Asian cuisine. We ordered the fish and chips and a basket of calamari. Both were great! Fish was extremely flaky but held the light batter very well. Their tartar sauce is on the milder side so we added some lemon and salt to our preference. The calamari was very thick but tender, the batter didn't hold as well to this but the flavor and texture were nice. Reasonably priced for the location with friendly service. I'd come back here and eat again.
