Even though we had a nice meal I don't think anything we had was extraordinary or delicious. We had to wait between 25 to 30 minutes in between dishes. Even though our lovely waitress acknowledged there were delays she could not explain what was going on in the kitchen. As I mentioned the dishes were nice but to most of them we had to add salt as they were quite bland. The best dish for me was the octopus. Cooked to perfection but bland. The tortilla was also very good. Lovely with runny egg in the centre. Both the pluma and the lamb chops arrived lukewarm at the table we had waited for 25 minutes for those dishes. I assume they were left on the pass for a while before someone realised they had to be sent to our table. We sent back both dishes and after about 15 minutes we got new dishes. All in all it was not a great experience so I don't think I will be going back.
Very good Spanish restaurant, food and service is good! they get quite busy around dinner time and food comes in slower, one of our dish came in very late and the manager apologised and take it off the bill, very good service from beginning to end, and better to book in advanced, they’re quite popular at weekends and Fridays!Food: 5/5
They were kind to sit us for a quick lunch on Friday right before they closed for afternoon. Tomato salad is not to miss - yes really. Cold plates items could be bit chilled as it was more room temperature. Was recommended by someone who’s been multiple times and I’d want to go back to try other dishes plus cheesecake. Service could be improved like mentioned by other reviewers.
All the food is fantastic, I recommend taking the counter table where you can see the chief's cooking directly, the open kitchen is so lively and fun. Fish and meat are perfectly cooked, tomato based sauce with almonds is very tasty. One of the best patatas bravas I've ever had. And of course, you must order Basque cheesecake, it's melting and absolutely gorgeous.
our go to place and it never lets us down. really enjoy sitting at a counter. Top pick: Pan con tomate & jamon, gambas, lamb with tomato salad! Service is great, very friendly, always suggest best food & wine combination. Dessert is to die for - basque cheesecake.Food: 5/5
I came here to eat with friends for a birthday dinner. We came as a group of five. We ordered about six starters and five main courses with a few side orders. The starters were ok. The octopus croquettes was lovely and everybody enjoyed them . The jambon croquettes were nice. The manchego coquettes were ok. All three had a similar texture and taste. I could barely tell the difference between the three. The pan con tomato was standard. The sardines were lovely and had a great taste and texture. The anchovies were good but minimal on the plate.. We had an issue with the service of the drinks. It took anything from between 10-20 mins to get a drink. We had to remind the staff about our drinks on more than one occasion. The food came out when ready which was ok for the starters but not for the mains. A disjointed service I felt. The prawn risotto was on point. The pork and romesco sauce tasted lovely, portion was a tad small. The pork chimichurri was good, not enough sauce though. The cod risotto was too salty and the octopus was average, slightly too charred for my liking. The courgette flower had way too much honey. The potato bravas were average. Overall a cosy place with nice staff, but my experience wasn’t perfect. I would still recommend to others. Drinks are pricey, so I would recommend not to order any if you want to cut down the cost.
Omg!! I wanted to come here for dining for a while, I couldn't be more happy than I am right now. Food was amazing each dish was cooked to perfection, the attention from the Managers was great, the recommendation of the dishes was 100% accrued. We ordered about 7 dishes and couple of cocktals and bottle of wine for two ppl- tapas style and we just loved it. I could only managed to take a photo of one dish as keep forgetting to take the rest as we keep carry on eating!! Just so good. Will definetly coming back! : Ps. Do not forget to order the cheesecake!! You won't find anything like that in LOndon!! Just perfection!!
I am absolutely appalled by the experience I had at Donostia last weekend. This establishment boasts about its "high standards of hygiene," but what I witnessed could not be further from the truth. During our meal, I saw not one, not two, but FOUR different mice scurrying around the dining area! This is absolutely unacceptable in any restaurant, let alone one that claims to prioritize cleanliness. What made this experience even worse was the complete lack of concern from the staff. I immediately notified our server after spotting the first mouse, but my complaint was brushed off as if it were no big deal. When I brought it up again after seeing more mice, I was met with the same dismissive attitude and the only solution they provided was to move us to a table nearby only 2 meters away from where the mice were appearing. Not once did a manager come over to address the situation or offer any sort of apology. It's clear that the staff here couldn't care less about the customers' experience or the serious health risks posed by a rodent infestation. This place needs to be shut down until they can get their act together. If you value your health and a clean dining environment, I urge you to stay far away from this restaurant. This was easily one of the most disgusting and infuriating dining experiences I've ever had. How this place is still in business is beyond me.
great atmosphere. nice dishes. nothing exciting. the staff is lovely, welcoming and sweet. we enjoyed our time there. the paellas are ok and I’d actually skip both of them. the meat was great and well seasoned, but thats the specialty of Lurra, so whats the point of going to Donostia? I had a great time, but won’t go again. the only dish that we loved, was the Tortilla. Also, had eggshell pieces in the cheesecake.. and it was too sweet.
The food is delicious, there’s no doubt about it! The ambiance is nice, loud and cosy - just as you’d find in the streets of San Sebastián. The prawn rice was probably the best dish of the night, along with the croquetas! The Iberico pork was perfectly cooked, just thought that for the price, we were expecting a few more pieces. I do think it’s very authentic Spanish food, and the cheesecake is delicious - but it is slightly overpriced for the portion you get.
