8/10Food was very nice. Atmosphere was a little lacking as it was very quiet, but staff were friendly and attentive.

8/10It was local dishes with a touch of elegance. Some of the dishes were quite big but it was good taste for all of them

9.5/10The food was excellent! We had lunch there and especially liked the mushroom soup with a half baked egg. The special French toast was also very nice and fancy looking. The staff were friendly and efficient. I’d go here again next time I’m in Bilbao.

7/10While the food was delicious (foie gras and oysters for starters and roasted pigeon and boneless lamb entrées) the service was quite lacking. Upon entering, the host pointed to hour table and said “over there.” We had to ask for olive oil to accompany our bread as well as salt and pepper. When the s&p shakers were brought to the table, the waiter identified which was which — but got it completely wrong. The biggest snafu was the typo in the menu that listed the pigeon as python! And no mention of this when the menu was presented. Additionally, the room is somewhat dated with uncomfortable chairsvand the wall to wall faded red carpet should be replaced.

9.5/10The restaurant has beautiful decor, we were warmly greeted and seated. The staff were wonderful. The food was great. The wine was great. The place was almost entirely empty so more people would have helped the atmosphere....

9/10Very good food. Outstanding value for money, especially for the quality of the wine list. Ambience absent, really. It's a big room in a hotel foyer. Not a "Bilbao" experience.

10/10Not quite sure about the bread, but everything else was great, and service was helpful. Nice selection of various set menus. Would go again.

7.5/10Very nice food for a fair price, but the approach is a bit too traditional for our liking, nevertheless a great experience in a nice (yet again not surprising) setting.

8.5/10This meal was a tale if two cities. The service. What could be said? One waitress tries to accommodate us as she spoke some English. But when I asked her to pair a red and a white with the menu she asked what kind of wine my wife and I liked. When she came back she just poured. To taste. Didn’t explain the wine or even show me the bottle. I never encountered that before, either in europe or the states. Especially at a Michelin restaurant.
