Based on the idea of bringing everyone to the table, Burger and Sushi House (B.A.S.H.), located in the heart of Geneva, Illinois at 124 W. State Street, opened in September 2022. It’s a vibrant, modern eatery that features an eclectic menu by Executive Chef Joseph Mosconi, who’s cooked at hot spots like Venteux, TAO Las Vegas, and Honey Salt Las Vegas.
B.A.S.H.’s fresh fusion-inspired menu offers something for everyone and runs the gamut from hand-crafted burgers and a variety of mac ‘n cheeses to a raw bar, classic and specialty sushi rolls, sashimi, nigiri and a kid’s menu with customizable Bento Boxes. A must-try starter is the Wagyu Hot Stone, cooked at the table to your own taste and served with A.1. Truffle Ponzu, Aji Amarillo Vinaigrette and a Garlic Aioli. Adventurous burger lovers can opt for the Crabby Patty made with a crab rangoon mix and topped with wonton and sweet and sour sauce or the Notorious P.I.G. with pulled pork, millionaire bacon, tempura onion and a signature B.A.S.H. sauce atop a beef patty. For sharing, don’t pass us B.A.S.H.’s sushi options like the Volcano featuring rolls with crab, avocado and cream cheese topped with a hefty portion of baked crab salad, B.A.S.H. and unagi sauce, scallion and masago.
The beverage program features an extensive beer, wine and sake list along with seasonal craft cocktails like the refreshing Strawberry Basil Lemonade made with your choice of Haku Vodka or Roku Gin and the classic B.A.S.H. Old Fashioned, a mix of Toki Japanese Whiskey, demerara and walnut bitters.
On top of the delicious menu, B.A.S.H. hosts monthly events like the B.A.S.H. To You Night in which they raise money for a local charity or organization. There’s also live music, kid-friendly events and a monthly DIY and Drinks where you can sip specialty cocktails while a local artisan teaches you to make a craft. Guests can also indulge in weekly drink specials like $6 Basheritas and Sangria on Tuesday, half-off glasses of wine on Wednesday, and $5 draft beers on Thursday.
B.A.S.H. Geneva is the restaurant’s second location in Illinois. B.A.S.H. was established in 2013 in Ottawa just outside the popular Starved Rock State Park. It was so well received that the team set their sights on a second location. After extensive renovations, B.A.S.H. Geneva opened in September 2022 in the building known to locals as the Viking Office Supply. The mid-century modern storefront windows allow light to infuse a minimalist yet warm space of brick, light wood and modern finishes.
Providing guests with a unique pairing of quality food, service and ambience, B.A.S.H. is perfect for large groups, families, or that special date night. The 14,000-square foot space offers seating for 250 guests and features an event space on the second floor. In the warmer months, the outdoor area at B.A.S.H. showcases Geneva’s newest patio, a shaded and modern area with seating for 96 guests. Six outdoor seats pull up to an indoor sushi bar and several garage doors that open to the outside give indoor diners a dose of fresh air.
Co-owners Cody and Chanel Renkosik have loved seeing all the new faces enjoying Burger and Sushi House in Geneva and are thrilled that their concept of something for everyone has been embraced by the community.
