Their food was creative and innovative but I thought lacked some fluidity in terms of the succession of flavors in my pallete. I was there last Feb, we went on a month long Culinary Trip eating at most of the 3 star restaurants we can find in a city we landed at :). If you ever return to San Sebastian, I would really recommend Martin Berasategui, it was phenomenal and I really consider it as one of my best places to eat. French Laundry and Per Se, still tops my list, Then Tetsuya in Sydney. But for sure, you have to try Martin if you are ever in the parts of the world.
