There is another hidden gem near Carson City.
One of the best Basque places in Nevada is JT Basque Bar in Gardnerville. It is on the west side of 395, just south of Sharkey's. JT is one of those local places that all of the old timers know about, with a huge local following, with no need to advertise. JT has been owned and operated by the same Basque family for more than half a century.
It is in a historic building, moved from Virginia City over one hundred years ago. They have smaller tables, as well as family-style seating. They serve an enormous dinner, which includes the house wine.
Several generations of my family have enjoyed dinner here. It's that good.
