I would recommend this tapas restaurant 100%. My friend and I went there last Thursday and we had such a great time.The food was very good, the service provided by Francesca was flawless. We really enjoyed. Thank you so much for the Donostia team. You're a good egg guys! Cheers!

The service, quality of the food, and quantity of food is absolutely embarrassing for the prices that you pay. None of the food was anything special or particularly delicious. All tasted like dishes you could get for very cheap in America, and I found the tomato salad very salty. We ordered 6 tapas in total to find that they were all composed of simple parts and tiny portions. You pay for the presentation and the fancy names on the menu.The other reviews mention outstanding service -- we did not experience that at all. We had to interrupt a waitress to get seated after waiting for 5 minutes, even though the entrance is in a busy pathway for waiters and the restaurant was clearly half-empty. Our table was ignored even during an evening where the restaurant clearly was not busy. They forgot to take our order for the longest time. They did not check in on how the food was, which I usually wouldn't deduct points for, but at this price point and with the quality of the food they were serving, you have to wonder what exactly you're paying for. The person taking our bill was visibly annoyed at things like us wanting to keep the receipt.This did not feel like a fine dining experience, unless you consider a fine dining experience to be paying ridiculous prices to be sneered at and ignored in favor of European patrons. If your tasting palette prefers less flavorful dishes, this is the place for you as well.

I found this restaurant on Michelin website 20min before arriving, and confirmed there were every 15min slot available for reservations. But when I walked in, the waitress said they can’t serve, the restaurant is at capacity, which I knew it was not true. I said the website shows there are available on website, but still the waitress rejected me. I opened the website on street side and booked the reservation within literally 1 min, then walked in the door, now another waiter served me.If the restaurant is mentioned by Michelin guide, I would expect more hospitality. As a service industry, it’s better to let customer feel you are helping, rather than you are rejecting. If the waitress said “Yes, would you mind booking a reservation online now, I will prep a table for you.”, I would feel much better.Feedback aside, the 5J Jamon Iberico de Bellota is pretty good! It is fatty, nutty, rich, and flavorful. The flavor stay in the mouth for a while after chewing. The Pan Con Tomato is really juicy and refreshing. Good pairing with the Jamon. The octopus is soft, easy to chew. Last but not least, the Burnt Cheesecake is a must try, the cheese melted, creamy, but not heavily nor direct sweet.

The sourdough was so-so; olive oil didn’t have many layers of taste. The seafood croquetas was quite good; it had balance between the sauce on too and the croquetas itself. Beef was okay.The service was excellent. We went there on last Saturday and the waiter was very kind and always had a smile on his face.The atmosphere was okay… the floor downstairs was very slippery; that’s a hit dangerous. Even the staffs needed to walk slowly so that they don’t slip.

Nice restaurant near Hyde park, we order prawns, beef, tomatoes and other small dishes, all of them taste just right. Service is excellent as well, we take a seat before the chef, and can see they prepare our dishes with every detail cared. Recommend this restaurant to everybody, remember to book in advance, we come without booking only to get a seat with time limit.

Good foods. The cep and truffle croquettes were good, and the basque cake was so delicious.They have some wines that are not very popular but from Basque area.

Stumbled across the little hidden gem while my daughter was at an event. I wondered around and came across this amazing gem. I was greeted by Alex, who kindly offered me a seat at the bar or outside as was busy. Opted for the bar where Bartek kindly offered me to try some wines, very knowledgeable, and I tried the rose, then a white wine.The care and passion from him was evident and shown through. I had the crab and caviar followed by the octpusBoth are full of flavour and fresh.I had to collect my daughter, and on our return, she tried the croquet smoky and full of flavour..then she had the octpus.then the brunt cheesecake, sweet and tasty.. Thanks to Bartek and Alex, not only world-class food but staff, you should be proud ofI am looking forward to a return visit

Delicious Spanish food! We tried the prawns which were delicious saunteed, the tomatoes which were plump and bursting in juices and flavour, as well as the pork which were absolutely delicious. We were also tempted with Basque style cheesecake for dessert, which was rich and creamy and definitely satisfied our souls. I highly recommend the cheesecake. The service was also excellent. Will be back again!

Good spot for Basque fare - the appetisers (pan con tomate and crab + caviar pintxo) were delicious, and the mains (sirloin w patatas bravas and octopus) were good. The basque cheesecake was really yummy, though a bit firmer than expected. Excellent service and very nice, chill vibe. Will be back!
