    We had a wonderful experience at Kalimotxo. The bar area is fantastic—inviting and well-designed—and the staff were all incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. The pintxos were excellent, fresh, and authentic, and I was impressed to see Txakoli from Getaria on the wine list—a rare treat. The only downside was the loud electronic dance music. It felt out of place for a Spanish restaurant that otherwise nails the atmosphere and flavors. A more relaxed soundtrack would make the experience even better. Overall, highly recommend for great food, drinks, and hospitality.

    Loved the ambiance. I just wished I’d brought some vinyl. Tasty tapas and lovely rose wine. Food was a little pricey and small portions but quality was ace.

    Amazing service from host to server. Amazing food. And not annoyed with our big birthday group. Very accommodating and I can’t speak highly enough about the food quality.
