It has always been wonderful. Get there as soon as possible, the owner is getting ready to retire. Everything is good on the menu from the wine to the cider and the staters and desserts. But the highlight is the steak. If you don't love steak, you are missing the world's best. CharlieL

Among the crowded streets of Pamplona, one of the main places to try pintxos is on Estafeta Kalea…read more Estafeta is the longest street used for the running of the bulls. It is lined with great food places and bars. On the backside of the street is Plaza de Castillo where there are even more food and bar options. This is food and drink wonderland. Some of the most artistic pintxos we saw in our 3 week adventure in the Basque territories came from Sarria. The place is ALWAYS jammed and has a huge reputation with the locals and visitors alike. One has to push their way to the bar to get service and it is fast and courteous once you make it there. You better know what you want because the guys behind the counter are just a blur of activity. We ate there for lunch and then my local family wanted to go there for a pre-dinner boost. Totally recommend this place.

If you're a member of PETA this place IS NOT for you. You've got to run the meat gauntlet just to…read morestep in the door! I counted 40 legs of ham hanging from the ceiling complete with the little cup, under each, to catch the drippings. Considering the ham and the cool wallpaper made of old posters promoting the running of the bulls I was hopeful that this place would be great. Sadly it was not. An item or two was terrific but the next few were so-so and a couple were blech. Lots of small sandwich type items that looked good but will not have me returning for more. The sangria was delicious and the pocket door to the bathroom was awesome. But Bodegon your Michelin stars mean nothing to me and I'm afraid I can't recommend you.

Decent pours, great tapas. Try the mushroom and that cute albondiga thingy. The sauce was boss!read more

I tried the 5 course menu and it had a little of everything: artichoke, fish and meat. The lemon dessert was great. Great selection of wine by the glass.

If you come the service and attention will give you a great overall dining experience

A little background to understand What you are going to eat (from Wikipedia): A pincho (Spanish:…read moreliterally "thorn" or "spike"), pintxo or pinchu is a small snack, typically eaten in bars. Some of the best pintxos we had in the basque country: at the bar you can see the selection of the day or you can choose from the menù some of these little jewels of flavor. The ingredients are fresh out of the market, especially the fish, and the final result is mindblowing. If you prefer bigger servings, the "raciones" are more similar to regular plates.

I have had many wonderful dining experiences in Spain in many visits to cities in every region of…read morethe country. Along the way, I have had some misses but there is usually some aspect of even those meals I can hold on to as a positive. Eating at this joint was the first experience that was truly awful across the board. The server took our order in the coldest way possible at the beginning of the meal and that was the last we saw of him for the rest of the evening (the cook from the kitchen served our dishes). If the place was busy, I could maybe explain away the service, but it was virtually empty. Good food covers bad service any day, but in this instance the food was worse than the service. It was all cold (and it was not supposed to be). It was so bad, you would think they were trying to scare people away. With so many other options in the area, I cannot imagine why anybody would want to set foot in this place.
