on Citysearch Apr 03, 2008This is our favorite Saratoga restaurant. The food and ambience is great and the owner, Andy, makes everyone feel like part of the family. It's sort of "Cheers" with great food and fun. It's quite small though so... (more)

on Citysearch May 15, 2006I must say that my first dining experience at The Basin was nothing less than spectacular. I was greeted by the gentleman at the front door, I believe to be the proprietor, and felt welcomed from the moment we walked in.... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 01, 2006First of all the food is mediocre and overpriced. Paella was awful (chicken rice with strange taste, no scent of seafood). Service was slow. never again! (more)

on Citysearch Mar 31, 2006The food is really very average at best. We ordered the "basin" salad, paella, and the turkey crepes (small plate). All dishes were nothing special whatsoever. I don't think we'll be coming back.... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 13, 2005Price was a bit higher than initially expected, but well worth it. Other than the Basin salad, which was nothing special, everything was very good. I recommend the bread pudding for dessert, not normally a fan of it,... (more)
