My wife (a Newfoundlander) & I (an Australian) returned to St Johns to visit family and ate at Basho. We live in Melbourne, which is considered one of the food capitals of the world and found the food, ambience, staff and experience to be fantastic at Basho. The sushi was as good as you would find anywhere and their Japanese... more

We went to Basho this August whilst visiting St John's. The first part of the evening was wonderful: two fabulous blueberry martinis, two great appetizers (including an amazing scallop dish), two fantastic main courses... And then our waiter just disappeared - he didn't even come back to take our plates away. We waited for over an hour, but were ignored... more

We live here and find that Basho is consistently the best and most interesting food in St. John's. It has comparable prices to other upper end restaurants in St. John's. more

.My Girlfriend and I went to Basho in Nov 2008 while on vacation in St. John's. The reviews all said it was pricey and they were correct, it is; however it is worth every cent. The Atmosphere is very upscale but not at all standoffish. I found the staff extremely welcoming and pleasant as well as helpful. Some of the... more

Excellent food quality, good service, but quite pricey. The sushi is good, but not as good as Sun Sushi where it's also a lot more reasonably priced. Glad we went, but likely won't go back for awhile. more

Very friendly wait staff, excellent food, and the best asparagus I've ever had. However, very expensive. Worth a one-time visit at the very least. more
