The Martin Hotel

I'm from Bakersfield and love Basque food, but live in Phoenix where there is none. We jumped on the chance to eat here when passing through town. Great food and a lot of it as you would expect. Great service too. Hits included the chicken noodle soup, beans, salad, hominy with chorizo, corn, mashed potatoes, fries, and seafood pasta. Misses include the lamb shank (too salty as others have mentioned - I'd get the chops next time) and bread pudding.

We had so much fun at this place and we are so glad we found it while staying the night in Winnemucca!
We arrived later than planned but Martin’s was open and welcomed us in! The service was excellent, the food was unbelievably delicious! The portion sizes were humongous! The menu selection was amazing!
The staff was joyful and quite a delight!
Very helpful! Our little grandson loved the environment and enjoyed dancing to the music with the bartender!🤣
Next time we drive through Winnemucca, this will definitely be a place we stop for dinner again!!! 👍🏽👍🏽🥰

As the description states, this is THE recommended restaurant for authentic Basque food served “family style” which means you are seated at tables with six other folks. Dinner is pricey but worth it. The $40 you spend for a lamb dish comes with other Basque dishes including a minestrone type soup and homemade bread, a salad with traditional beans, fresh real mashed potatoes, string beans, and a chorizo and hominy dish and your main course which was 3lamb chops for me. Dinner also includes a burgundy wine and bread pudding for desert. They serve. a local specialty drink they call “Picon Punch” which packs quite the punch. Staff was courteous and quick.

We had the ribeye and the salmon, both were cooked to perfection. All the sides were served communal style with other people at our table and all of those were very very good. We had drinks from the bar that were also top notch. Service was friendly and quick but not intrusive. I highly recommend it.

This restaurant is awesome. Has family style seating. So you sit next to people you don't know at first, but share food and now your family. Great way to meet new people. The food was awesome and definitely homemade. From the wine to the bread pudding GREAT. If you've never experienced Basque food, this is a good place to start.
