Off the main street next to a bridge. Signage is small so easy to miss. Parking on street in front or municipal parking lot behind that is free. Ordered the paella which was good but we have had better. Needs to be for two so you both need to agree on it. Pitcher of white Sangria was very good. They have a nice bar upfront with plenty of seating in the back. Decor is very dated but otherwise okay. Coffee was good and strong. Flan for dessert was good but my wife said she has had better. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.

This is the best kept secret in Dover, NJ. The place feels so old school, but there's this amazing new world charm in the owners. They are accommodating and kind and funny and just wonderful. The food here is beautiful; the dishes are rich and delicious without being too much. Come with an appetite and dine at Jai-Alai while you can. This is a gem of a generation and we will be lesser for being without them one day.

We always drive by to see when they re-open after being closed for the winter. Had our first for the season last night - the best! Of course went right next door for ice cream after - yummy!

Excellent Basque cuisine. It's a rarity in this day in age to find a Basque restaurant with such authentic dishes. Having been there for 39 years, they are a true institution. I highly recommend you try it out.

I've never had a bad meal here! The sangria is always good. I love their plantain chips. I usually order their stuffed mushrooms with orange glazed duck. The food is great and the staff is always friendly. This place is a hidden gem!
