We were heading to another restaurant for dinner but when we walked by the Basquiat Cafe, we were swayed by it vibrant crowd, cool music and high energy vibe. After reviewing its menu, and looking at the locals there having such a good time, we decided to eat here instead. I am glad we changed our mind and stayed for dinner. The food was fresh and tasty and the service staff were on their game with prompt attentive service without intruding. They even gave every table an complimentary appetizer course which was quite filling and went great with the beers on tap. Overall, a satisfying meal and people watch experience. It\s never a wrong choice to go where the locals hang out.

Had lunch there several times. Food consistently good value. Very efficient staff. It is very popular with locals .
