The grilled Octopus was fresh and delicious. A great experience, highly recommended.

The eating room is beautiful and we were seated next to the fire place, very nice! The outside gardens are large and nicelly kept, great for an after dinner digestive, events, or eating out with children.

This is high end Basque food, prepared in a very traditional way. The place is hard to find, but it's worth the effort. I have posted pictures that document the experience. Do yourself a favor and try this place out!!!!

The sad part of the Restaurant is the Ownership and the Staff. We arrived 15 minutes earlier than scheduled and the Staff seemed not happy about that. We had to wait and once seated, the pre-arranged meal with wine was served like we were running to the airport. I had to ask the Server to slow down and make this experience more pleasant. There was a Gentleman greeting and seating new customers, but never approached our table and never seemed interested to see if our group was satisfied. I read good news about this place, however, the experience on that night was our worst in Basque Country, where we stayed for 10 days.
