Had a lovely meal out with one of my best mates. Food was lovely, service was excellent and the drinks and cocktails were fab! My only gripe was that I sat for about 10 mins on my main, whilst my mate was eating his. Would definitely recommend!

This was our first time dining at The Basement and we absolutely loved it. The birria tacos are some of the best we’ve ever had. My family also loved their fajitas. The food was tasty, well made and good quality. The staff who served us were all lovely and attentive. The restaurant was busy but there was always staff around. Great value for money.
