Basho - St John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

This was our first time visiting Basho. We frequently visit St. John’s and very much enjoy the restaurant/food scene in town. This was one of my favourite meals I’ve had ever! The filet mignon was the best steak I’ve had in St. John’s hands down, the flavour was amazing and ... it was cooked perfectly. My husband had the special of the night which was the seafood steamer, which was mussels, scallops and shrimp in a Cajun cream sauce.. unreal!! He also had the spicy scallop roll which was so fresh and tasty. I can’t wait to visit again! Read more

Appetizer was pretty good - Tenderloin and scallops. Steak a little overdone, but tasty. Sushi was dry. Rice was dry / starchy and the tuna / salmon almost tasted freezer burned. Tried to enjoy but had to send it back. That said, the server was great and did take that ... off my bill. Every place has an off night and I will try again, but probably the steak next time. Meals my friends had looked great. Read more

I have heard of Basho quite a few times and always wanted to try it. I got the chance today and I was not disappointed at all! Loved the sushi and the tempura I had! It was nothing less than authentic and was absolutely delicious! Although it was a bit ... pricy, but I think it's well within reasons.The servers were very professional and friendly too. They provided pretty good service. I would like one thing changed though. I would like a bit more lighting in the dining area, as it was a bit too dark. Read more

Great meal that didn't disappoint! The Nobu new style Sashimi was exceptional and worth a try. The goat's cheese cheesecake was also an unexpected treat if you're looking for something different. Well done!

We ordered lamb rack, steak(Striploin) and sushi and everything was great! And for dessert we got goat cheese cheese cake and that was amazing!! I would give the steak meal 9/10 because of the fries which could be better. Not easy to get a table there but worth the wait.
