Editorial Review for Euzkadi – by Dan McAlvanah
The Scene
Euzkadi exudes the sort of cozy, bohemian charm of a small neighborhood bistro one might happen upon in Paris. The spare, woody space features closely spaced tables, brick walls and high ceiling fans. Service is warm and attentive.
The Food
The kind of rich, rootsy cooking on display at Euzkadi makes for ideal winter-mood food. Dishes are graced by pungent, big-boned ingredients like garlic, cheese, olives, sweet peppers, capers and tomatoes. The Basque region's proximity to the ocean makes seafood a natural; dishes like bacon-wrapped trout with tomatoes and a crispy bacalao (salt cod) cake are both good bets. Other highlights include a gutsy roasted chicken with olive mashed potatoes and sliced sausage with mustard and lentils.

Celebrated my birthday with a group of 12 at Euzkadi and I'm still thrilled with the place. Everyone really enjoyed themselves, the place is lively, great crowd, we ordered a number of tapas for the table and were impressed with everything that came out. Michael provided us with amazing service and the music was just perfect. Can't wait to go back.
Pros: atmosphere, good staff, music

I've lived in the East Village now for 4 years and I can't believe I didn't know about this place until now!! I recenlty joined the blogging world (now that I am with out a job and have more time on my hands) and decided to check it out based upon its rave reviews. I was not disappointed! Excellent ambiance, the music, the artwork, the candle lit place with mirrors all around... great for a romantic randezvous or group dinner with friends/colleagues. There are a variety of great tapas that could please pretty much anybody... meats, seafood, veggie... respectively the duck meatballs (euphoric, mmm), the calamari (grilled, not fried, tantalizing!) and the sauteeed mushrooms (with Sherry, dessert wine, so tasteful). Top cheese dish: goat cheeseballs, just fabulous! Everything was fairly priced and you have a lot of options if you are on a budget! Service was great too... young, fun waiters/waitresses working there, lots of good energy flowing. Kind of felt like I was in some exotic foreign cave somewhere... I wonder if that's what it's like in Basque country... if so I'm on the next flight!
