Santa Fe Basque

Feeding Fresnans since 1926, Santa Fe Basque's menu brings together soups, salads, meaty main plates, and dessert items in a culinary harmony unseen since the California Raisins dominated the airwaves. Served up family style, start with main plates such as fried chicken ($13.95), lamb steak ($15.95), and calamari almandine ($17.95). Unlike a semicircle, each entree comes with multiple sides; bread and butter, a side of the chef's choosing, a daily special side, soup, tossed salad, a veggie of the day, possibly a kitchen sink, potato salad, and a meal-capping bowl of ice cream all come standard.
