Five-course family-style Basque dinners will cost $13.95 for adults. Kids eat for $1 per year of age. Basque dinners will be served in Il Fiasco's cellar room.

Dinner hours: 4 p.m.-9 p.m. Mondays-Thursdays; 4-10:30 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays; 4-9 p.m. Sundays. Happy hours: 4-6 and 8-closing Mondays-Saturdays, all day Sundays.

UPDATE Here's the lunch menu. Owner Mark Gaimster said, "As far as the Basque dinners go they are our 'version' of what Basque-style dinners are. It starts out with cup of soup, salad, pasta, choice of 2-3 entrees, and tiramisu. Each week will change so there is no "set" menu to speak of so it allows both guests and kitchen to create something new and special each week."
