The service was a bit of a mess lol people everywhere trying to get into the queue to order. However, the staff did their best and delivered everything as quickly as possible.

The restaurant is one I found to be recommended for pinxtos (small, bite-sized snacks often on a…read morepiece of toasted bread). We sat outside and were told to order food inside. The thing about sitting outside is that there are smokers. :/ The pinxtos are premade and just heated up. We tried txangurro (spider crab) gratin, artichoke in tempura, and crispy squid with onion. I was a bit disappointed, because I didn't care for any of them. The bread was quite crusty. I guess pinxtos aren't my thing.

Kale, Nagusia Kalea 34 Getaria Spain…read more Established in 1840! Getaria in Basque Country is a small, charming coastal town. Famous for its grilled seafood. We chose this place because the grill was right outside the front door and everything looked and smelled delicious! Fresh, whole turbot, sea bream, octopus, truly thick cut beef steaks and shrimp were being grilled over a wood fire. Simply seasoned with sea salt, grilled and plated. Nothing was added to hide the freshness of the whole Sea bass I truly enjoyed. I love fish prepared this way-simply and with pride. I wished I had a second stomach so I could have had everything I saw walking by my table! Reservations recommended, or get lucky as a walk in.

The staff are very helpful and even though I only ordered two tapas (the only two vegetarian options)- tortilla with mushroom and tortilla with onion, they were delicious and very filling.

No surprise that several alums have gone on to open highly rated restaurants of their own (Firedoor, Burnt Ends, etc).
