...Just like San Sebastian

by louisvuittondon425

My boyfriend and I have been to Txori on numerous occasions and have never been dissapointed. We've gone to Spain on vacation, including Madrid and San Sebastian, and are planning another trip end of May. We were very pleased to find a place like Txori here in Seattle, where they serve authentic Basque-style pinxtos. My favorite pinxto would be the squid in black ink. It is absolutely dee-li-cious!! The braised oxtail and stuffed peppers are also very scrumptious. What p*ssed me off was reading a review left by "Aasea" (12/30/2007), who said she she was disgusted by all the napkins left on the floor. Helloooo...!! That's what you're supposed to do! Obviously this person has never gone to Spain so I think that it's very unfair to judge when you have no idea what you're talking about! If you go to any good tapas/pintxos bar in San Sebastian, you will see that there are always napkins on the floor. Secondly, people don't go to a tapas/pintxos bar to "fill up", you cow!! The whole point of 'tapas bar-hopping" is to grab a few bites and a drink, then move on to the next spot. Maybe this "Aasea" character would be better off super-sizing their meal at McDonald's!! Txori isn't meant to be a huge restaurant with over-filled plates of food. So I feel that you, "Aasea" have completely missed the point. Yes, it can get a bit pricey, but you are paying for superb-quality food. If what you have in mind is a plate full of low-quality garbage for $9.99, then you better take your silly a** somewhere else. I don't normally get this ticked off about random restaurant reviews, but this clown really p*ssed me off! Txori and The Harvest Vine are two of my absolute favorite restaurants in Seattle, so to anyone who begs to differ...BRING IT ON !! Much love, Txori...Keep up the good work!!

• Pros: Food is aMAAAzing
• Cons: A bit pricey, but worth it

I love this restaurant. The food is so delicious. I love the back patio. A quiet getaway in the heart of downtown. And the service is always great!

Great Tapas

by karenwd

Limited but very good selection of authentic tapas. Keep in mind the portions are really one bite so be prepared to order several different items per person. THe flavors are bold and very tasty. It can get pricey but well worth it.
