As much as I wanted to love it, Buceo 95 left me with a bad taste in my mouth…read more My wife and I were so excited to get some pinxtos and tapas to reminisce on our special time in San Sebastian, and were excited to try Buceo due to their menu we found online - which had a lot of the tapas, but in an area of the city we don't typically go to. When we arrived, we were told it was HH but only at the bar, which was fine because the restaurant had much seating available all over. We were shocked though to see that the menu was 25 - 30% higher than what was advertised online. We were told it was a recent change, but still felt swindled to get us through in the door. Not updating your website in this day and age is an extremely poor excuse. We had planned on having dinner there to celebrate a special milestone, but decided to leave after ordering the HH pinxtos, which was $20 for 4 bites, and then $10 per glass of wine / sangria for HH. We've had comparable quality elsewhere for much less. While the bartender was pleasant, we felt very disappointed in the overall experience and decided to grab dinner elsewhere. I really feel for the owner because I know its a tough industry and it's prob slow season, but to use these types of tactics hurt in the long run. I hope others can now be more informed before giving Bueceo 95 a try.

They had a good wine by the glass selection with a number of sparkling, white, and red options. I opted for a lambrusco, and my boyfriend a glass of white. I was excited to see lambrusco on the menu since they aren't on them frequently. We enjoyed the wine and dog spotting and received friendly service from our server.

Mom said we were going out for Italian…read more Naturally, I assumed this meant unlimited pizza crust. We visited Osteria Cotta, a cozy two-story neighborhood Italian restaurant with a large outdoor patio in front. There was plenty of space for everyone, and I wasn't the only pup there--there were several other dogs enjoying dinner with their families. The humans who worked there were incredibly nice and spent a lot of time telling me how handsome I am. (It's important to surround yourself with honest people.) Mom ordered the Tartufo pizza with mushrooms and prosciutto, along with a non-alcoholic rosé. Dad ordered the Penne Pomodoro with a glass of red wine and somehow found room for an espresso martini after dinner. I ordered... ...absolutely nothing. There isn't a dog menu, and no water bowl was offered, so I'd recommend bringing your own water if you're visiting with your pup. Even though I didn't receive the pizza crust I had mentally budgeted for, the atmosphere was relaxed, the patio was spacious, and everyone made me feel welcome. It's a great place if you want a nice Italian dinner without leaving your best friend at home. Dogba's Verdict Big outdoor patio? Plenty of fellow dogs? Staff who immediately loved me? Dog water bowl? Pizza crust distributed to the dog? Also no. 4 paws out of 5. Excellent hospitality. Questionable crust-sharing policy. I'll still be back... mostly because I'm convinced I can negotiate better terms next time.

But after trying their cuisine, this restaurant became more than just a place to watch a mini concert, glass of wine in hand. My favorite dish here is their carbonara, and I dare say, it may be the best carbonara I've ever had. The pasta is wonderfully creamy with generous bits of guanciale. I mean, just look at this beauty - it's glistening! As though this dish weren't creamy enough, it's topped with a half cracked egg, the yolk a vibrant orange. The idea here is that you incorporate the yolk into the pasta while it's still warm. This is a French restaurant after all, so I will warn you that the service here is quite European. From my experience sitting at the bar, the server won't fuss over you as you dine, and if you needed anything, you would have to flag him down. It's not an issue to me. I don't like feeling rushed at dinner. Just looking at the marvel that is this carbonara is a reminder that I should book another reservation here soon.

Nicely appointed 3 stars for food. The AOC burger was ordered for Medium rare and came back medium. The French Onion Soup was recommended but my friend said it wasn't cheesy enough and the cheese seemed to get stuck to the bowl and not enough in the soup. The Brussels sprouts were rocking. The prosecco was delicious. But still a 3 star rating because we expected more in terms of flavor and getting the burger order right. I'd come back and order something different.
