The Basin

No shortcuts, just great food and drink, with a come-as-you-are atmosphere . We are an American restaurant house with influences derived from generations of Spanish and Italian heritage.

In this gastronomically diverse region, we take pride in serving the freshest wild and organic foods, full of flavor and tradition. Our seasonal menu includes sufficient variety to temp the entire table, with special selections offered daily. Our wine list has been designed to complement the menu, including offerings from Spain, France, Italy and California, with selections to tempt every palette.

The Basin is open nightly for dinner beginning at 5pm, and during the summer, additional seating is a available on our outdoor patio, under an old Saratoga oak tree. Come join us for dinner, drinks, appetizers, dessert, or any combination thereof.

We're located in the village of Saratoga, gateway to the Santa Cruz Mountains. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff is ready to welcome you. We are especially happy to help you enjoy your concert evening at our local venues, the Mountain Winery and villa Montalvo.
