Great all around restaurant. Great food, great live Basque music, great service. I came at 5pm and was able to be seated right away and listen to the live guitarist. Outside and inside sitting. Menu with many excellent selections, good wines, as well as deserts. I had the Sand Dabs, watercress soup, Bordeaux wine, and the Gateau Basque for desert, wonderful! Pet friendly. I also left my credit card there accidentally. When I called after the restaurant was closed, expecting to leave a message, the manager answered and said he’d mail me my credit card right away! A full service restaurant. All the people I interacted with were very gracious and professional. I’ll go there again for sure.

Le Chalet Basque is one of our favorite venues in Marin County. We have been dining there for many years. The staff is warm and friendly and the food is always delicious…..the potions are generous.
It is a nice find, tucked away from the busy streets. The restaurant location makes you feel you are out in the country. Its’ European charm is one of a kind in Marin County.

Such fine food in a secluded setting well worth finding! The Basque country, between France and Spain, is known worldwide for its cuisine. How lucky we are to have this culinary treasure right here in Marin County.

BEWARE. I forgot my credit card and called immediately. Staff had it and held for pickup.
3 ADDITIONAL separate dinner charges that night totaling $385.06 appeared on my credit card statement. I spoke with Patrick (the owner) who was shocked, assured me he would investigate, and make sure I was refunded. He promised he would call me in 2 days. I Never heard from him. Chase fraud Department is investigating

Most recently was there for Thanksgiving, so it’s hard to judge for just a regular evening. But on that night the food was fantastic and the service great.

The server could have been a little more attentive but sometimes just being short staffed is enough.
The food was excellent and I will be back the next timer in town! An ATTA boy/girl to the staff great job. Thank you for the great dining experience! Two thumbs up,

Drove here from the wine country to attend an event nearby. The outside patio is lovely. Was excited for all the Basque dishes listed on the menu on their website. To my surprise, there was not a single Basque dish on the limited menu that was provided. The service was incredibly slow and forgetful. (I arrived at 5:05 PM and was literally the only person there for the first 25 minutes). I ordered the shrimp in garlic butter. Shrimp were rubbery, swimming in a sort of milky white sauce. The side vegetable was wilted broccoli and cabbage, plus some sort of Rice-A-Roni looking rice that was weird. I typically have one glass of wine with dinner, but had to order two as these were tiny pours. There was a vegetable soup that was fantastic and the warm bread basket was absolutely terrific.Too bad they provided hard, foil wrapped, individual pats of butter to go with such delicious bread. Overall the experience was incredibly disappointing. I would’ve left the moment I saw the menu was misrepresented but I had no time to look for another restaurant. I was late to my event as the waiter kept disappearing or forgetting to bring the wine, the check, etc. Do Not Recommend.

Very cozy and casual french style bistro. Very nice to sit on their patio and eat paté, cheeses and escargots. The a basque chicken or sole filet.
