    I have never had such rude service in my life! My husband, myself and our 7 yr old son stopped to…read moreeat some lunch. The server was rude from the start, we tried to ignore it. He spoke over me when I tried to explain that the menu was taking a long time to load on my phone and we would need a minute before ordering. He interrupted and said it would be better if he got the English menu because it would be easier. My husband understands enough Spanish that we were fine. That wasn't the issue, not being able to load the menu was the issue. I just said thank you and moved on. We ordered quickly because he seemed so impatient. My husband and I ordered from the prix fix menu, which included three courses. My son wasn't that hungry so he shared some of my husband's appetizer. We were almost finished and the server came over and told us that what we did was not fair and that we were taking money away from him by not ordering a whole meal for my son. Now the thing to note was his attitude while saying this. I have never been spoken to so rudely as a customer. So I got up and asked the other staff if I could speak with a manager. They said one was not available. It was Sunday so maybe this was true. Then our server came around the corner. I explained to him that I felt that he was very rude and had given us terrible service from the start. I said, if you continue to treat customers this way they will not return. He said, "that's fine, I don't care if you come back". Now I understand that San Sebastián has a lot of tourists at this time (July) and it may affect some of the locals attitudes. However, to say this was unacceptable. We decided to pay our bill with another server and leave even before the dessert course. Our server chased us out onto the sidewalk and was yelling at us in Spanish. That's when I had finally had enough and turned around and started coming at him. I would have hit him had my husband not restrained me and said it's not worth going to jail over. He was right. And obviously we will never go back to that restaurant. The other staff seemed perfectly pleasant. To make matters worse the food wasn't even that great. It wasn't the worst I have ever had. It definitely wasn't the best either. We should have just stuck with pintxo's.

    This was supposedly the best seafood restaurants in Hondarribia. We gave it to attempts during our…read morestay there the first one the waiter was very lovely and spoke English. The white asparagus was amazing and that's about where the meal ended. We had ordered the deep-fried monkfish, and it was undercooked and extremely greasy as were the potatoes. Thinking we just didn't understand the menu. We gave it a second try and it was not any better the second time they said they did not have a reservation, but seated us anyway. Our second experience was even more underwhelming. We found this place to be overpriced and difficult to get into for no real reason after two attempts I would not recommend if you're looking for a good restaurant in this area I would recommend Almameda that just received is Michelin star and did not disappoint.

    The experience here was superb. Our server, so-so with English, but then my Spanish is so-so; we…read moremade it work. When we pointed to items on the menu - we chose only fish/seafood for the evening - she'd go into the kitchen, bring out the fish to show us, confirming if if it was piece too big (she brought out a 1.5 kilo piece of turbot, which we could normally take care of, but we had ordered other dishes). The dishes were amazing: monkfish (cooked perfectly) & clams in a traditional Basque green sauce, anchovies with green chilies and onions, the bacalao al pil pil was beautiful, and a main course of a type of cod perfectly grilled. It's a modest-looking place, but don't let it fool you. The server made the evening very memorable. So, if you make out to this special little town, and you should, try this place.
