Bassa Prua

The fettuccine is out of this world! Our server was simply amazing and the owner is personable and came to every single table to talk to her customers. It’s a shame we live out of state and can’t be regular customers because I am craving this place! Remarkable food and staff!

Your FB post from 9 Dec reads you would be open today regular posted hours (26 Dec). You’re not. Disappointing. I looked for signs on the door and everything for changes.

I’ve been a few times but probably not again… has consistently gotten worse… place started with a bang but it’s starting to fizzle. Doughnuts are good but everything else is mediocre at best.

I love this place! Food was great, people were nice, and the atmosphere was inviting. The menu is small, they make everything to order. They can make most of the menu gluten free. I will be coming back every time I am in Leavenworth!

Went here for husbands birthday. No information when seated about appetizers or specials; yet other diners were informed. All drinking glasses seemed hazy instead of sparkling. I haven’t tried brunch or lunch just the dinner service. We were not impressed.

This review I am giving is after 3 times of eating here. The first time I was introduced to their food was at a social gathering and this place was the catering service. the food they served then led me to believe I was onto a winner. so like a hungry lion, I persued going there again and the first thing that knocked the wind out of me are the hours of operation. this place is only open like 3 or 4 days a week and some days they are open in the afternoon, sometimes in the morning (depending on which day they are open). you get dizzy just trying to figure out when they are open and operating.
the 2^nd time I come in, i’m thinking that now that I have the time down, I know the food will be all that. (NOT). first they ran out of the special two-​toned donuts I liked and only had these tired glazed ones left (of course they said they don’t make fresh ones until the next morning) I decided to take my food to go because i had somewhere else i had to be. I ordered a brunch to go… when I go to pay for my food, i find out that I am being charged a take out fee. what? whoever heard of a take out fee? and the fee was 5 dollars!
this still didn’t deter me, so I come back one last time… the old college try… I bring my mom who is on oxygen with me for a brunch date and from the moment of seating, the waiter acted as though my mother scared him because she was pushing a huge tank with tubes in her nose. it must of really bothered him because everytime he took our order, brought food out, he would only talk to me and not her and this is where i finally said.“not again”.
their food is good, but has declined in value each time we ate there, but non courteous staff who cannot treat all customers the same, is unacceptable. sick patients should be treated with respect…

Bottom line: 5 for the food, 5 for the extremely friendly salient service, and finally a 5 for reusing downtown space. Our party ordered 2 Italian, 2 Greek, and a German dish that were all excellent. Very representative of the meals you would receive in those countries and that is the bottom line.
Recommend for those not looking for fast food or the express all you can eat buffet!

The donuts are not of this world… they are heavenly. I was blown away with the flavor, texture and feel. This was a wonderful experience, can’t wait to try their other items!

I was excited when I moved here from Europe to hear about a place in Leavenworth that offered something other than BBQ and burgers. I’ve been here a number of times for breakfast, brunch, and dinner both alone and with friends and my wife.
The décor isn’t bad, and they’ve done well to improve with new table cloths and cloths napkins, etc. I’m also glad the guitar hasn’t been around the last few times I’ve been in. While a nice attempt, it sounded more like a jam session in his garage than an effort to add a relaxing atmosphere to a nice dining experience. When an acoustic guitar is too loud to have a conversation that’s a problem.
Service has always been friendly and prompt. I’m usually surprised at the number of servers working the floor, since the overhead must be high, but it helps make sure you get fast service if you’re willing to grab anyone walking by in lieu of your actual server.
The food is of course the highlight and it is a nice change of pace for the area. All of the meals have been good and plentiful, with excellent presentation. The only thing lacking has been the actual flavor. The food tastes good but dishes like the Moroccan specialties, which I expect to be complex and full, have been bland the last few times I came. The quality is good but the substance isn’t there. I’m a big fan of the shrimp and grits, and brunch is a good experience (especially when the Bloody Mary bar is set up). The donuts, of course, are always great. Come early to get your pick.
I would have gone more if there was more of a wine /​cocktail selection. The front area by the bar is nice, but if there isn’t much to entice me to sit at the bar then I’ll keep moving to another place.
Overall I hope this place is here to stay. If I was staying in the area I would certainly keep this place on my list of places to come every few weeks.

Bassa Prua is our favorite Leavenworth restaurant. The food is so fresh and delicious. The staff is great and very helpful. Parking was convenient and close to the door. When you visit, be sure to have a wonderful doughnut.

This place just misses the mark for dinner.
We have gotten pastries and they are wonderful.
Dinner was so so. It’s never good when the salad dressing (house balsamic they make there) from your side salad and the lobster bisque before the meal are the best parts. (They were both excellent though!) The yeasty rolls were also great, especially dipped in the soup.
The Jagerschnitzel was chicken fried steak, only pork. There were no mushrooms either. It was just ok.
The Penne pasta alla Vodka was angel hair. Good flavor, but wrong pasta and not really a vodka flavor.
Desserts were great, staff was excellent. Entrees just missed the mark.
I’m not sure if it is just an over ambitious dinner menu — perhaps a smaller, more focused menu would allow for more hits than misses.
The atmosphere is very classy. Which was really nice to find in Leavenworth.

Food was delicious, but the wait and the staff tending to the table HORRIBLE!
I ordered the mimosa, that was really strong. No complaints just the first time I had to sip at a mimosa was new to me. The fresh house made donuts LORD yes. Made me appreciate anybody who does this and it can taste that some made them with love. I had the chocolate covered donut filled with some type of banana custard. yumm. We went with the buffet brunch so I could be greedy but the wait time for this made me want to leave.
It came with baked ham, ground lamb gravy on top of a nice biscuit, eggs benedict with a slice of ham, veggies quiche, and smothered potatoes. The quiche and potatoes were a homerun for me. I couldn’t escape the heaven it sent me to. I would love to know how they seasoned the potatoes. Side of fruit was blahh. I threw some blueberries in my drink for looks and maybe a slight infused taste.
We sat by the window eating and watching the snow fall. If I didn’t have this view I believe my experience would have been worse.
The second plate for the buffet took I believe 30 mins to get to our table. Now is it worth it, Yes if you have time to sit around and catch up. No if you are looking for a place that serves food in a decent time.
I wouldn’t come back to be seated to eat, I ill probably figure out a way to order to take out. Making the transaction much better. I love the food and pastries so i’m sure i will be figureing out some3thing soon

I’ve been here twice so far. The food has been excellent both times with fresh ingredients and complex flavors. The service can be hit or miss. Everyone I’ve met that works here has been very nice and polite, but the service could be more attentive, particularly if there will be a long wait for the food and people at the table have empty water glasses.
I’d also suggest making the lunch service quicker. This wasn’t a problem the first time we went (got our food in 10 minutes or so), but the second time it took over half an hour to get our food, and we were one of only 3 tables in there. While this may be okay for dinner service, it crosses it off our list when it comes to weekday lunch when we don’t have too much time to spend. Overall, this place has great food, but make sure you have some time to wait!

This place is great! The food was great and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing. There’s a musician in the back playing guitar and he sets a really nice, romantic mood. We had the truffle scented petit lamb chops, the lasagna, and the Ahi tuna salad. A three were outstanding. The chef came out to greet us and ask about our visit, a really nice detail. The service was also great, very attentive and courteous. The size of the dishes is also generous and you won’t leave hungry. The dishes range around $ 13-​$ 19, well worth it.
I will be coming back tomorrow for their brunch (10a-​2p) for what sounds like a great time as well. I will also be coming back to try their other dishes. They have food from France, Italy, Morocco, Greece, Germany, and good ‘ol USA.
Two big thumbs up. Strongly recommended.
Update: The brunch on Sunday was also great. The service was a bit slower but it was busy. The cinammon rolls were warm and fresh and the eggs Benedict were awesome. Overall, a great experience.

This is my FAVORITE place in Leavenworth! And the best donuts you have EVER eaten! They are unreal, please do yourself a favor and go get one or three on the weekend. The weekend brunch is great. The bourbon glazed ham is sooo delicious. The shrimp and grits are so delicious too with the cajun sauce in the bottom. The gyro is also delicious! Definitely check it out, you won’t regret it.
Moms they do have tablecloths and no more kids menus.

I ordered the grilled peacock Panini, which was very good and well presented. I ordered a salad as a side, and it was very good, too. The server was very attentive and nice. The place is nice, but kind of old-​fashioned and dark. My friend ordered the all-​you-​can-​eat brunch, and we just found it kind of odd that he had to ask for what he wanted more of, and the server would get it, as opposed to him just going to a buffet and getting it himself. This place was recommended to us by a certain Candle Queen in that neck of the woods. Glad we tried it, and it was very affordable.

Not sure what all the hype about here is. The food is decent, although the portions are small and the service is really lacking. I’m not sure if it was because of the time of day, but I just was not feeling it.
My sliders had lots of bun, and so little meat. I actually just discarded my bun and ate only the meat. It’s sad that I left feeling hungry. the waitress did offer us donuts, which I passed on. I’m not sure if this is a daily occurrence.
I will probably be back again, but it’s won’t be my first choice.

This charming place has a very initmate dining experience. I was not sure at first if they were open because it isn’t that obvious from out side. But as soon as I opened the door I was greeted by the friendly staff. I was early for lunch so I had my pick of the tables. The lunch nemu seems standard from the reading but the gyro I ordered was anything but standard. In addtion to being promptly served the gyro was very well plated and the meat was obviously made fresh (not carved off a 10 day old spit). Along with my sandwich was a warm and yummy chicken, curry and apple soup. It was an excellent companion to the sandwich. I thought I wanted fries until I tasted the soup. This is a great place and I will definitely be back to try more offerings. Unfortunately it seems that the place offers the best of what it has on Friday nights and weekends. Since I am from out of town and only get to visit here during the week I am going to miss all the things people rave about. Maybe one day…

Unilocal hours are wrong; they’re open until 8pm.
Wonderful salmon salad and gluten-​free cookies that were so good, I had to double check with the chef to make sure they were ACTUALLY gluten-​free (they were).

A coworker and I stopped in today for the first time. I was happy to see the familiar faces of three individuals who now work here have worked at other places in town and are now here.
The service was great and very personable. The owner /​chef came to our table to introduce herself and then checked in on us again later.
We tried the spaghetti, gyro, and a couple of desserts (key lime pie and chocolate mousse. Everything was tasty.
We will likely be back again soon to try out a few more dishes.
