We were heading into Carson City and looked on Yelp for a place to have breakfast. Boy, are we…read moreglad we found the Villa Basque Cafe! Here is what we noticed: - It's a pretty unassuming place...we parked in the side lot and walked around to their main entrance. They even had some specials highlighted as we entered. - Inside there is lots of seating...when we arrived the front of the place was empty, but people were sitting there when we left and we noticed that it is much quieter in that section of the restaurant than in the main dining room. - As others have noted, chorizo is their specialty and it's in many of the dishes. And, it is worth it!...and, not spicy like you might think of chorizo. My wife and I ordered the Quesadilla and the Basque Omelette, and we split both (plus, we took some home too). Each dish was really good in its own right, and being able to have the chorizo prepared two ways was great. Their home fries were really tasty too. - Service was good....very attentive, especially considering that it took us a while to decide what to order given the breadth of the menu. - We paid cash because of their sign indicating that that was preferred. Bottom line: We'd go back to Villa Basque Cafe anytime we're in Carson City...next time, we'd like to try some of their lunch options!

The food was fresh and I'm pretty sure they might have even made the bread homemade. I know they fresh pressed me a tall glass of grapefruit juice. Pork chop and eggs as well as a loco moco was what we ordered. The entire pork chop plate was ravished and I got through about half of my plate. The burger was cooked to order and the mushroom gravy was just right. Our bellies were full, while the coffee stayed hot and our pocketbook stayed full. The meal was very reasonably priced, shocking really. Carson City is fortunate to have a place like this, to take care of the locals and the dusty sagebrush worn travelers just passing through.

She was super friendly and quick to give me her opinion on what she likes best! I ended up getting a cannoli, an almond croissant and a lavender donut. My favorite was the lavender donut. It tasted so fresh and not too sweet! So yum! The cannoli was also so good! The croissant was a little dry for me, I prefer a softer fluffier croissant so I probably wouldn't order that again. They were on the more expensive side, so this will only be a place I stop for a fancy treat once in a while. But they were good and tasted like they were made with quality ingredients

The saving grace was the wonderful lady who took the order in her stylish glasses so friendly and welcoming! And the fries were crunchy yet no Heinz tomato ketchup. The cakes at the entrance looked interesting. The Italian cookie was too sweet like dosing on spoonfuls of sugar. Salty and sweet a balance would have been nice. The raspberry center got stuck to the parchment paper bag. The Tiramisu was ok, nothing to write home about let alone finish. The extra hot latte was as expected. Extra Hot and delivered the caffeine dose needed. Ambiance is nice. We would have liked to be regulars. For the cakes or honey.

Our waitress and the bar staff were incredibly friendly and helpful with recommendations (our first time here). There was a slight mishap with my order, but they bent over backwards to make it right, which was greatly appreciated. The food was amazing. I had a cup of their clam chowder as a starter (I was starving) and it was easily the best chowder I've had outside of San Francisco and Seattle. My main was their French dip. It was piled high with thinly shaved beef and cheese. Would definitely recommend. My wife enjoyed her salmon and eggs Benedict. I tried a bit of it and thought the salmon had fantastic flavor. I definitely recommend enjoying a meal here. We'll definitely be back, though next time we'll know to secure a reservation ahead of time.

We were a group of 8 and while we were waiting on our food I happened to have a clear view of the kitchen. When I watched for a minute I realize the chef had his long hair pulled back in a ponytail, but his beard down to his chest had no covering. It grossed me out so much that every bite I was looking for hair! Then while the food came out and the waitress was serving she accidentally gave a plate of food to the wrong person. When it was discovered the waitress offered the plate to the correct person stating "he only took a couple of bites"! We all sat there in disbelief. The restaurant remade the dish to say the least. The food was tasty but the service was extremely slow. We arrived at 6pm and our food was served at 7pm. Question: would I go back byes, but I would check to see if the cooks were properly protested from hair dropping in my food.

The Fried Zucchini was really good... lightly breaded then deep fried. Very generous portion. Warning when it comes out, its very hot so give it a few minutes to cool down. 2 containers of Ranch Dressing is included. The Prime Rib Philly Cheese Steak sandwich is good... the Prime Rib is tender, but since its thinly sliced, cannot tell if its really juicy. The grilled onions and peppers gave it some crunch and sweetness. Love the salad, but if you are going to get the Fried Zucchini, you might not want to get Ranch for the dressing... I would go with Thousand Island (would go well with the Zucchini) The Men's restroom is clean and well stock.
