I have gone back and forth on weather or not to leave a review. At the end of day I have been in the service industry for almost 20 years. I feel like this needs to be said.
My mom and I went to the Basque Market for the first time on June 1st. I had been to several events through out the years where the Basque Market catered the event. I have always been pleased with the food. I was excited to take my mom there...some thing new to us. We are both long time residents of Boise (since 2001) but have yet to go in and try what the Basque Market has to offer. Before we walk in we see several reader boards boasting about their lunch specials. My mom and I read one about some sort of chicken sandwich special and by mistake we thought it was the Basque Markets. So my mom and I walk in....we werent sure if it was "seat yourself" or "order at the counter" needless to say there were 3 female employees standing at the front. We were not acknowledged for several minutes. Finally one of them asked if she could help me. I let her know we were new costumers. We had never been in before. She seemed very put off by that statement. At that point I was hoping she would be delighted by new customers and was wanting to show off the Basque Market.I hoped to hear about the food speicals or what the Basque Market has to offer. No such luck again she was put out... We asked if we could sit outside. She said " yes if there is a table open" in a very snarky tone. Then she "said wait what do you guys want?" Again I said we are new do you have a menu or food speicals. I'm really reaching at this point with her....
She said "we only serve paella on Fridays" I said to her "no chicken sandwich special?" she gave me this look and said "no we only serve paella" then she proceeded to walk us outside and "school" us on the different restaurants next to the Basque Market. I let her go...she was hell bent on making us feel stupid rather than welcome. I just let her talk. I know downtown Boise very well and heaven forbid we mistake a reader board for the wrong restaurant. At that point we left and went over to Bardenay where we were felt welcome and had a delicious meal.
I currently work at a local restaurant in Boise. My favorite thing in the world is new customers. I love to tell them about our food and our local ingredients we use. I truly love to show off my restaurant to new costumers.
I know as a long time resident we may be put off by the growth Boise is going through, and all the new people coming in. I get it, BUT new and regular customers is how businesses survive.
We wont ever be back in to the Basque Market I do hope for future new costumers who come in that they wont be treated the way we were.
