Leku Ona

“We had a delicious meal! Our server Elena was great and attentive without hovering over us. We shared the croquetas and burnt cheesecake. I ordered the lamb chops and my husband the filet mignon. All the food was amazing and it was a fun was to visit the Basque Block and try something new!”

“I wish I was a local so I could be a regular! Such sweet staff and all young and I was SO impressed with them all working hard and being so attentive. Drinks and food were FANTASTIC. I had the steak sandwich and it was the best I ever had. Went in for 1 drink and ended up having 3 because I loved the staff and the vibes so much. 30/10”

“At Leku Ona, the meal unfolded with a quiet depth that revealed itself slowly. The lamb shank had been braised until it no longer resisted. It gave way at the touch, each bite saturated with a deep, savory richness that felt almost elemental. The brown gravy carried a long, patient flavor, warm and lingering, settling into the palate rather than overwhelming it. The mashed potatoes were soft and enveloping, holding the sauce in a way that made each bite feel whole. Nothing stood apart. Everything blended into a single, steady note of comfort. The Basque mac and cheese brought a subtle edge. It was creamy, but there was a gentle sharpness that kept it grounded, a reminder that this was not ordinary comfort food but something shaped by place and tradition. Chloe guided the experience with quiet confidence. Her knowledge of Basque food and its origins, along with the Basque region added meaning without interrupting the moment. Her attention felt intuitive, as if she understood the rhythm of the meal before it needed to be spoken. The Basque was experienced.”

“A great basque restaurant in the basque district downtown. They have except food I would especially recommend the patatas bravas for the table. Great place to have a meal and a drink though being downtown it is going to run you a little more but it's a fair price for the quality.”

“I stopped by for lunch and ordered the Red bean stew and the paella . The stew was fantastic, the smoked ribs , the chorizo and is good portion . The paella was disappointing :(, the chicken was dry , the rice not crispy at the bottom and the flavors just meh . I would come back just for the stew . But don’t get the paella is not good”
