Enjoyed the Chefs Table experience. Superb food accompanied by a great selection of wines. Really great team at Bar Biscay.

Wanted to like this so much but left really disappointed. Our family is part Spanish and we spend a lot of time in Basque Country so we were excited to try this. Our waitress was so kind and attentive so we didn’t have the heart to tell her about the food. The albondigas were overcooked and dry. Tomato anchovy toast way too salty, even for anchovies. Wild mushrooms with egg were ok...great variety of high quality mushrooms, in a variety of sizes and shapes which led to some being undercooked and chewy while others were nicely done. Boquerones were so underwhelming...an expensive import that I wish had been cooked better and while we were told not to worry about deboning these, in fact bc of the way they were cooked it would not be a good idea to bite into one of these with bones in. One stand out was the pork terrine that my partner had. Spent about and really were disappointed. Again, service was great. Maybe kitchen just had an off night.

The food is excellent, but was “too loud” for our parents/ family. Keeping it to date night in the future. Great options for vegetarians and cool cocktails!

All of the food was cold and low quality. Cocktails were just okay, and I found the service rude and underwhelming.

Dive into a unique culinary experience at this restaurant, where the fantastic seafood dishes leave a lasting impression. While the atmosphere is cool and inviting, the service falls short of expectations. The diverse menu promises surprises, with some standout dishes, like the pork terrine. Despite a few disappointments in consistency and flavor, the attentive staff strives to make every visit enjoyable. The cocktails may lack excitement, but the commitment to quality shines through. Overall, it’s worth trying at least once, with potential to become a new favorite for those willing to overlook minor flaws and focus on the positives.

Went here for Valentine’s Day. They were overwhelmed and food was a bit slow, but everyone was extremely nice and apologetic along the way and they took care of us in the end. We will absolutely be back. Food was amazing, best desserts I’ve had in years and salad with truffle was a nice twist that made the night. Cocktails were

I honestly can't think of anything bad to say about this place. The food was well above par, and the service was being excellent. Shout out to Olivia who went above and beyond to make our experience an enjoyable one.

Loved their take on a cosmo (Spanish Liquer) and I can’t believe I was made a home made Irish whiskey with a hint of chocolate. It was a work of art. I personally had the braised pork shoulder (yum) with carrots that melted in your mouth. Grilled asparagus was ok but the crispy fingerlings made up for it. Def worth a visit and maybe a repeat!

Went to Biscay for Valentine’s Day. Although the staff seemed overwhelmed and our food took a while, everyone was incredibly friendly and apologetic throughout, and they made sure we were well taken care of in the end. We will definitely be returning. The food was fantastic—some of the best desserts I’ve had in years, and the salad with truffle added a delightful twist that really made the evening. The cocktails were outstanding!
