El Basque Restaurant Bonita Springs Reviews from The Last Year
This place is amazing! Great wine selection and food.
We went with the pintxos menu to share and it was delicious. We tried the escargots, the kroketas de jamón, the pulpo (octopus) and the shrimp. The server's wine and dessert recommendations were superb! We had the burnt basque cheesecake and the choc tres leches. We've been here two times already and everything we've tried has been consistently good. I'm not from the area but if I return, definitely will go back to El Basque.
We really enjoyed this sweet little restaurant last
We really enjoyed this sweet little restaurant last night! It was highly recommended to us and we now pass that on. The ambiance makes you feel like you are in Spain. The food and service were very good. We loved the Fig appetizer as well as the octopus. Our entrees were the Bouilebaise and Bronzino special topped off with the Tres Leche cheesecake made by the in house pastry chef. We will be back!
We've been to El Basque twice this month, nearly two years
We've been to El Basque twice this month, nearly two years after our first time there. Both times we were very happy with the experience. The atmosphere is very nice, with a long wall completely covered with framed paintings, and twinkly lights around the bar area. The service was spot on... attentive but not overbearing, and the food was timed well with appetizers coming out first and entrees shortly after. Menu items we had included: - Vin fig which are wine infused figs with goat cheese - Grilled octopus - Paella with seafood - Bronzino fish special of the day Everything was fresh and delicious, and reasonably priced relative to other restaurants in the area.
One of the best Fresh rare-made-to-order restaurants
One of the best Fresh rare-made-to-order restaurants around! French and Spanish flair. Braised short ribs are a bit too salty but oh so tender! Lemon tart is yummy but less sugar is preferred and yummy ice cream. The almond tart is lite. We liked that the octopus was perfectly cooked. Thank you for the Great staff who are accommodating of specific meal needs. Nice cozy place, yummy fresh warm bread.
This is such a cute place! My husband and I each had glass
This is such a cute place! My husband and I each had glass of wine (as recommended by our server) and several of the tapas style appetizers. Each was beautifully presented and the flavors did not disappoint. Our server was attentive and friendly but not obnoxious, atmosphere was nice. We had the goat cheese and fig, octopus, shrimp, pork/calamari dishes. Each was delicious. We will definitely be back.
Best restaurant in Bonita.
Great food amazing ambiance and fantastic food. Would recommend and can't wait to return.
Came to Florida for Spring Training and found a wonderful
Came to Florida for Spring Training and found a wonderful Pintxos for dinner. Authentic Basque menu, recipes and flavor. We've eaten Pintxos in San Sebastián Spain and El Basque lives up to its heritage. If we didn't live in California this would definitely be our local favorite. Salad, meat & cheese board, drunken figs & goat cheese, chorizo & fondu cheese, blood sausage, Bilbao martini, Basque cheesecake and cappuccino all exceeded our expectations. Owner is extremely friendly and welcoming. Service was spot on! Great dinner!!!
Lovely little spot
Lovely little spot. Not the typical noisy rushed atmosphere of so many local restaurants. Very friendly, enjoyable ambience. We could actually hear each other speak. Interesting menu choices … not the typical ones. Drunken figs were amazing. Great wait service. Looking forward to returning.
DISJOINTED
Be advised that the menu online is different from what you will see in the restaurant. Choices are good if unusual. Scallops appetizers are very good. Figs too. That said, there is something about this place that feels disjointed. Service was adequate but nothing more. Atmosphere was outstanding. Warm and intimate. Entrees just okay. Steak arrived overcooked and Coq au Vin was tasty but tough. Wine selection highly variable. Spanish choices were best. We’re going to give this another try because it can definitely do better. Not this time though.
Great evening!
Great hospitality from the moment we walked in! Sophia was a very pleasant and good server to our table of six. The food was delicious from the charcuterie board appetizer, the recommended wine, entrees and dessert! We will look forward to going back!
I have a love hate relationship with writing this review!
I have a love hate relationship with writing this review! LOVE LOVE LOVE because this restaurant is AMAZING AWESOME!! No words for the spectacular ambience, service and presentation. HATE only because I don't want to lose my new special spot my husband and I found. Well off the beaten path but soooo worth it. Came here just before a concert and found the most gracious chef and waiter! And to boot a happy hour we knew nothing about walking in but will come back again and again for. Thank you all for an amazing experience, meal and evening. We'll be back!!
Hidden Gem! The food is authentic Spanish food cooked
Hidden Gem! The food is authentic Spanish food cooked fresh. Delicious! We had the ham croquettes, the fig & cheese, the calamari with pork and the cassoulet. We enjoyed every one of the items. We also ordered a bottle of white wine from the Basque region which was very good. The service was attentive and very good. The chef even came out to talk to us when we inquired about the special order of suckling pig. He's a very accomplished chef but we already knew that his food was delicious as we had already enjoyed our meal. We will be back to explore more of the menu. The restaurant is really cute inside. It's located in an unassuming strip mall but it is a hidden gem.
Food, service and ambiance were all exceptional! All four
Food, service and ambiance were all exceptional! All four of us enjoyed our cocktails, tapas plates, main dishes and desserts! Will definitely be back!!!

New Favourite Spot To Dine In Bonita
What a fabulous discovery. This restaurant tucked in a shopping mall beside a movie theatre deserves every star available and then some. The food and wine pairings were excellent and beautifully served. First of many visits.
Fabulous
Not enough stars available!! We have been to El Basque countless times. ; had a special b'day dinner there for our daughter and taken many friends there. There aren't enough superlatives to describe this place. John and his daughter, make this like coming home to a home cooked meal. They are beyond delightful and accommodating. We have been to Spain, and particularly Barcelona several times, and this is as close as we have had here in the states. Whatever you order, and John will customize it to your tastes is superb. Its fairly priced, and a wonderful group of wines as well. Place is small and cozy and reminds you of your living room. Its our favorite place and I would highly recommend it for tapas and pintxas.

Great evening!
Owners held an anniversary party that topped all parties! The food and service was fabulous. The music and dancing made the evening incredibly festive, such amazing talent. Great appetizers, huge entrees and fabulous margaritas! Enjoy!!!
Tried it on a whim!
We picked El Basque, sort of on a whim, as we had never been there nor had we known anyone who had been there--but were so pleasantly surprised! The food was truly tasty, well-presented and timely delivered. Our waitress Hldegard, was charming and made excellent suggestions. We will surely return, but next time with other first time 'discoverers'!

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

Give the best answerAny seller support?
Has anyone found a way to get a question answered? From what I can tell there is no way to get in touch with anyone that works at/for AT. Other than the occasional admin posting a consultation offer here and there they are non existent. A lot of people have the same issue I have where we cannot cash out earnings. I cannot get my warning medal removed even though I am under the threshold. Sad to say but seems like AT is holding up everyone’s funds currently. Very scary and makes me wonder….Please reply if you read this admins and can help. Tried every way possible to get in touch
Give the best answerWhat happens if someone changes or shows up for their reservation after I buy it?
As the title says. I bought a reservation but what’s to stop someone from just showing up for it anyway? I’m doing the name change service but it’s still under their email/phone, right?

Give the best answerRestaurant Bought/Canceled Their Own Reservation
I accepted a bid for a popular restaurant in Los Angeles only to receive a phone call shortly thereafter informing me that the reservation had been canceled due to it being listed on AT. I of course need to subsequently cancel the reservation on AT but get this warning that my status will be negatively affected for doing so. I've reached out to customer support about this several times with no response, not sure what to do in this station. Hoping someone can advise.

Give the best answerQuestion about postpaid listings for prepaid bookings
I have a prepaid reservation, but I'm allowed to transfer that reservation to others for a price that I set (up to the total price I paid).
For selling POSTPAID reservations, do I charge the buyer the full amount of the reservation when transferring? And then the buyer pays something on top of that (which is what is listed in the AppointmentTrader listing?)
Major Issue for Seller
My money is being held hostage! Can you please remove my refund medal as I am below the 11% threshold and should be able to withdraw my full daily amount now? I have been teying for a long time to get a reply on this. Major issue for people looking to do good/right like you ask and make positive sales. Being able to access earned revenue is critical and not getting any reply is very concerning for your sellers. Lot of other people having the same issue. Once below the threshold you should auto remove the warning medals.

Give the best answerWell through rate holding money for 180 days
Just wanted to put this out there as I find it quite weird. AT will hold money if your sell through rate is to low. I find this strange as you would think that sell through rate should reflect more on AT not marketing their site well enough to generate sales. It seems weird to punish sellers for listings not selling.

I am having a tough time contacting and elucidating a response from AT Support. I had a listing at 6pm, which was a mistake as the actual listing reservation was at 11pm. This got somehow approved by AT, and a customer bought this from me for 6pm. I want to cancel this listing and refund customer , but there is no way of doing this ! This is so frustrating and making me lose hope on AT. Can someone help me please?

Banned from Resy for selling reservations- Do we have a rat on our hands???
I am new to this app and started off by selling a polo bar reservation and then quickly sold one more reservation. Not long after I received emails from Resy saying all my reservations are cancelled and I am being banned from Resy for life. How could this have possibly happened without a rat telling Resy that I sold the reservation. I need some advice on this situation and let’s catch the rat!

I have a big ongoing and it also shows someone is working on my bid. Today I see there is a " Buy Instantly " option at my portfolio showing same price I've bid for a reservation. I'm a bit confused, since my money has already been deducted from my credit card for the bid, do I need to pay one more time for the Buy Instantly? If I choose Buy Instantly, can I cancel my bid ( while someone is working on it )? Thanks!
