Asador Sukalde. Restaurante. Pintxos . — Restaurant in Bilbao

I’m not impressed with this place. The service was slow, and the staff seemed uninterested in helping us. The food was average—some dishes were overcooked, and others lacked seasoning. The portions were small for the price, which felt like a rip-off. The restaurant was noisy, with tables packed too closely together, making it hard to relax. The decor was bland, and the place felt dated. The bill took forever to arrive, and when it did, it was higher than expected for such a mediocre meal. I was hoping for a nice night out, but this didn’t deliver. It’s not the worst restaurant I’ve been to, but it’s far from good. I doubt I’ll return unless I hear they’ve made some serious improvements to their service and...

It was recommended as one of the best Asadors for Chuleton, however the service was very sloppy and in a rush. We had sweetbreads to start that were deep fried to nothing.

By the taste of it, I would even question if they actually roasted it on a woodfire. We had to ask for a grill to get the temperature of the meat a bit further from being rare. All and all a very disappointing visit, especially since they are on the higher end of the price spectrum. Not recommended, at least I will not go...

We sat down at the third table on the terrace — all the others were taken. At that moment, the waiter was pouring wine at another table nearby. He clearly saw us but spent about 10 minutes chatting with two other tables next to us. Then, without acknowledging us, he went inside. A few moments later, he shouted from the bar window that orders had to be made inside.

When I went in, he told me that the kitchen was closed. We had come expecting to have a hot meal, but instead wasted about 15 minutes for nothing.

Having to fight for the waiter’s attention is not what I would call...
