Restaurante Semea by Euskalduna

I’m a business traveller who arrived late in the evening, i’m also a coeliac. The waiter was fantastic, very accommodating and explained that they could modify the dishes to my needs. Unfortunately as I did not have a reservation I had to eat outside on my own which was okay and then he told me it was tapas style. Each dish arrived and I managed to complete each dish completely with a significant wait before the next was delivered. I was given the side dish of zucchini first with a 10 minute gap before the beef arrived. I waited an especially long time for the final dish which happened to be the most simple. I went inside to explain that I felt like I had been abandoned outside and was then marched to the kitchen and given a stern telling off for daring to question the maitre d’. He told me in the 20 years he’s been running restaurants he’d never heard of a Tapas bar where they delivered dishes at the same time. This wasn’t my point. I explained that I didn’t expect the dishes at the same time but I did expect to at least have the next dish arrive whilst enjoying the previous one; not completely separate. I also said I didn’t expect the most simple dish to be delivered last after the beef dish, which was the obvious main. Anyway, after an extraordinarily long gap between my penultimate and final course; the latter arrived and despite being fried was luke warm. I asked for the bill. The waiter seemed very embarrassed and apologetic when I asked for the bill. I said “ I hadn’t expected to be marched to the kitchen like a naughty schoolboy but it was a new experience” So in summary; a lovely restaurant with great food and wait staff, flexible for food allergies but appalling at service, probably because I was a single diner who was abandoned outside. If you’re here as a couple I’m sure you’d have a great experience; if you’re a business traveller on your own maybe not.
