We were very excited to try Akelarre  on June 30 and had read great reviews.  Having eaten at dozens of Michelin restaurants, we had high expectations and I’m sorry to say we were extremely disappointed with both the food and the service.  
Our meal began with a lukewarm reception and we were seated in a far corner of the restaurant.  I couldn’t help but notice we were the only non-white people in the place and our seating seemed odd given there were tables available with much nicer views.  
The service was extremely slow and it was a good five minutes before anyone came to take our order.  We asked to order drinks and they said they would send the sommelier but that didn’t happen until after they served the second course!  We did order the meal and there was an option to swap a couple of courses, three people in our party do not eat foie gras for ethical reasons and wanted to substitute the listed tuna belly.  The waiter came back and told us they were only going to swap two, without giving us any reason or alternative.
The meal started with a few amuse bouche none of which were remarkable.  Of the first courses, the sardine terrine was the most unique while the others lacked seasoning.  Bread was served and it was underbaked as evidenced by excessive moisture on in the inside.  The lackluster meal continued and included an undercooked sea bass, and nearly every course lacking salt/seasoning.  The best course was the tenderloin, though not warranting three stars.
Perhaps the most disappointing part of the meal was the service.  We felt ignored and borderline mistreated.  Our dishes were plopped in front of us without any finesse or grace.  Our plates were cleared before we were done.  Our food was brought out at different times.  There was an entire lack of attentiveness.  Wine was not refilled.  The sommelier never checked in on us.  We felt we didn’t belong and were not wanted, I dare say because of our skin.  This is the first time I have experienced service like this at such a renowned place which is why I’m sharing my experience.  We left feeling empty.  Not how you’d expect to leave a ten course meal.
