While planning the trip to San Sebastián I was dreaming about visiting the best of the best in as old town. Thus, I’ve booked Casa Urola in advance 4 weeks before the scheduled date.
Unfortunately, when we arrived at exact 9 pm, we were asked to wait for around 10 minutes and grab a drink downstairs. However, the ground floor was as usual super overcrowded. There was no possibility to grab any drinks or food without standing the line from the beginning for about 15-20 minutes. The unusually rude waiter told us to go to the beginning of the line.
We were welcome to sit only after 20 minutes of waiting on the worst table near the kitchen entrance. The menu was given after 20 minutes of seating.
And finally we have left. It was a total mess and nothing special with an overpriced menu. The design, atmosphere, service and everything is not for these prices.
Thanks to other wonderful San Sebastián restaurants.

Food was very good. They should focus on the service and experience.. as we have seen in other bars much better crowd control and service especially when they see you speak English, they help and ensure they recommend their specialties. Hell here the waiter got upset when we talked English.. 80% of the resto was non Spanish when we were there..
Loved this restaurant, quality of food is insane, and staff totally nice. Great atmosphere would recommend
One of the best restaurants and pintxos in San Sebastián!! Highly recommended, we had Artichoke special pintxo and Urola pintxo, both are signature and top rated.
Loved our dining experience! The food was so unique and yet with a local comfort food feel. Each dish kept getting better and better. We really enjoyed the fish!
We ate upstairs with a reservation and the entire experience was wonderful. Some reviews by tourists suggest they were treated rudely, but I think you get what you give? The staff were quite nice to us as tourists and the food was amazing. The spider crab appetizer was our favorite and the beef incredible.
Some of the best pintxos we had in San Sebastian. The scallop in ajo Blanco was fantastic. The french toast dessert with coffee ice cream is also worth the trip. Very accommodating service.
Great food ！Everything was nice. The service was correct, not too much but friendly. The steak tartar was one of the best I have had. This was my third time in the restaurant. Many times in the bar. It is worth going back.
