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

Only problem was at the beginning. We politely asked for a menu that was in English - we were not rude or demanding. The server got upset and developed an attitude that we couldnt speak or read the Spanish menu. We eventually discovered that she spoke English quite well. I can understand if we were disrespectful but that was not the case. We even spent a lot of money on dinner itself. Perhaps she was just having a bad day.

We ate at this bar/restaurant while passing through Pamplona. We ordered from the bar menu, but the…read moreserver was kind enough to sit us in the restaurant section. The mushroom risotto was delicious as was the jamón and brie fritter. Hubby got the traditional almuerzo of potato, fried egg, and chistorra which he loved. Unfortunately the fish and chips we got for my son didn't taste fresh, so was fishier than ideal.

But i was interested in a full dinner and at 25 euro for three courses including bread, water and wine, who could resist at the end of a long day. 15 minutes later I am still waiting for service. I flagged someone down and told her what i wanted and that i had been waiting. She said I just have to flag someone down like I did. LOL. Took a while to get anything and it was all fairly good and hot. Not their fault that only 2 servers in the whole floor. For he money it was fine Bo had mushroom risotto, sea bass with garlic sauce full of bones, ice cream for dessert. Go for the nostalgia.

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.

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.
