Restaurante Tribeca — Restaurant in Seville

This is a restaurant I went to while traveling in Spain. I experienced Michelin Guides such as ANGLE and Hisop in Barcelona. I visited Tribeca, which was introduced in the Michelin Guide, close to the hotel I was staying at.

This was the worst Michelin Guide restaurant I've ever experienced. Before ordering our food, we said 3 times that we wanted the dish without salt. However, all dishes were cooked with a lot of salt.

The first starter dish, "Lobster omelette rolled in pork belly", had such a strong fishy and porky smell that it made me nauseous, and my stomach hurt after one bite. We understood that this was Tribeca food style, so we threw away the dishes after only one bite. Also, there was a lot of salt in the dish, making it very salty.

The second main dish, “American Angus ribeye steak.” This dish was also sprinkled with too much salt and was almost inedible. We made sure to ask 3 times before ordering to not add salt to the food and were told they would. It was too salty to eat, but the meat was cooked well. However, we complained because the food was still inedible and they said they would cook it again in 5 minutes. The server's facial expression was quite unpleasant, which made me uncomfortable, and the dish came out 20 minutes later instead of 5, and the server didn't give any explanation. While we were waiting for a new dish for 20 minutes, the main chef came out of the kitchen 3 times. It was the worst service experience of my life. The American Angus ribeye steak was very tough as the fat and fascia were not properly removed and we had to separate all the fat and fascia ourselves. The amount that was cut was significant, and it was a very unpleasant experience.

Even though the water was empty, the server did not refill it, and the male main server did not have a good expression until the end, which made us feel very uncomfortable and displeased.

I think this kind of place really shouldn't be on the Michelin Guide, so I'm spending a lot of my precious time writing a review. I sincerely hope that people who read my experience don't...

It's an interesting place, but I believe there are a few aspects that could be enhanced to provide a better or 5-star experience. Some of these observations include:

We received two menus with different prices, and it turned out one of them was outdated, which created confusion. The daily offers list is extensive; it would be more convenient to have it available for reading before deciding on an order. Presenting it right before ordering can feel rushed… The starters are quite small as they are meant to be individual portions. It would be helpful to clarify this on the menu, as sharing starters is common in Andalusian restaurants. The decor of the restaurant doesn't convey a high-end ambiance, so an upgrade in this aspect could be considered. During our visit on a Saturday for lunch, there seemed to be a hierarchical service structure where one head waiter took orders while other waiters handled tasks like refilling water, serving bread, or bringing coffee. This arrangement made the service somewhat slow and occasionally awkward. The indoor temperature was too low (as in: cold), and we had to request adjustments to the AC twice, even though it wasn't particularly hot outside. There was inconsistency in the timing of dish servings; it started slow, then food came suddenly, and then slowed down again. It was also challenging to signal that we were ready to pay. Improved coordination in this regard would be ideal.

While these issues may seem minor individually, they collectively influence the overall dining experience. While the food quality was acceptable, addressing these details could significantly enhance the overall...

A total catastrophy 1st we booked online a 100€ degustation menu, no one knew when we arrived (the regular menu was presented to us), and at the end they charged a 110€ menu, despite of our booking confirmation e-mail stipulating the 100€ menu. If the service and food were great we wouldn't have mind. The service was unfortunatly very bad : no water proposed, we had to ask for it at the middle of the meal, then they forgot to refill our glasses but didnt forget to charge the whole bottle. We also had to ask for bread at the end of the menu (no one seemed bothered by the empty bread plates during the whole meal). We asked for a refill of Cava, a waiter finished a bottle in my glass filling it half, and we had to ask to have the other half. No cohesion, no communication between the waiters... Regarding the food : the degustation menu wasnt served in the order that was presented (4th step is 1rst, 1rst is 3rd...), dishes that are presented like separated steps are served together and in very small portions, the chef presents the restaurant like a fish-specialized place but the fish of the day was severely overcooked. We found massive fish bones in very small fish pieces... 2 positive aspects : the cava was very good and the plates were beautiful. Sorry for this terrible comment, we would have loved to spend a much nicer moment at your place. We are severely disapointed and regret this experience. We would have liked to say it directly the team, manager or chef, but they disappeared when they understood we...
