My fiancé and I debated canceling our Mugaritz reservation based on the large number of negative reviews but decided to proceed with it anyway. It's worth mentioning that we are far from new to Michelin-starred tasting menus, and we also visited three-Michelin-starred Akelarre and Arzak the same week.The first few courses were delicious and beautifully presented but it was steadily downhill from there, with plate after unattractive plate of mushy, unidentifiable substances covered in a bland white sauce. We are open-minded eaters but we liked fewer than half the courses. Many of them were VERY fishy in flavor or unappealing in texture and consistency. The ones that were unappealing in texture did not have interesting flavors to make up for it; the flavors tended to be bland and unoriginal. The goal seemed more to challenge the eater with off-putting plates rather than to reward the eater with a unique and great culinary experience. In the end, there were far too many unappealing dishes and not enough delicious ones to make this culinary experience worthwhile.The service during the meal was generally very good (and the sommelier was excellent!) but it's worth mentioning that we were asked to leave abruptly right after our meal. We had an 8:30pm reservation (standard or even early dinner time in Spain) and finished at 12:30am. All the other tables in the restaurant started and finished around the same time we did; we didn't get a late start or take too long eating. And yet we asked if we could have an after-dinner drink and we were told no, we needed to leave because the restaurant was closing. A restaurant that's charging these sorts of prices should schedule the reservations and pacing such that guests can linger a little bit and enjoy a drink afterward rather than being rushed out.We asked them to call us a taxi home; they said it would arrive in five minutes but we waited quite a while and meanwhile all of the staff were heading home. We were starting to get worried that we'd be stranded in the dark parking lot without a ride home and eventually caught one of the last staff members leaving to re-check on our taxi.On a positive note, I will say that the wines were excellent, and we did appreciate that the restaurant was not afraid to do things a bit differently (appetizers/mains/desserts served in a non-traditional order, silent dining room, etc). We just wish that our most expensive dinner of the trip (800+ EUR for two, including wine) was one where we actually enjoyed most of the food. Akelarre and Arzak were absolute delights; pick one of those instead and skip Mugaritz.
