3 Best Restaurants in USA

The sleek, wood-paneled interior, complete with pink and blue ceiling lights, is an inviting venue in which to  indulge in a fusion of Basque and southern French fare. Eel Bar has a tavern or gastropub vibe—a place you'd come to sip on a \"gin tonic\" or a glass of Rioja Alavesa as much as to snack on inspired dishes like the shrimp-and-egg gilda, a 'roided up version of the classic Basque pintxo, or squid-ink-laced grilled black rice patties. 

Thick lamb chops, roast lamb, oxtail stew, and shrimp scampi have made this Basque eatery a local institution. All meals are served family style, so you might share your table with diners you don't know. Meals include vegetables and a potato, pasta, or rice dish, and many gluten-free options—but this is no place for vegetarians.
