The place, the service and the food is good, but is nothing out of this world. I think the place is very overrated for what it is. I understand is a trendy place, but in San Sebastian, there is a dime a dozen of places...like this with food equal or better and at lower prices, such as Bar Bartolo or Hemeretzi.More

I had really high hopes for Atari since the reviews and the pics looked good. I don't really have anything negative to say except the food was not up to the level of the other pinxtos places we visited while in town. Beef cheek was...solid, croquettes were actually the best we had on the trip. The view of the basilica from the tables outside was great.More

Loved the Pintxos here - especially the black pudding, pickles with tuna. The staff are courteous and helpful which is much appreciated by this English traveller. Highly recommend going here.

Great, classic San Sebastian stop. Recommend getting the octopus, so good and huge portion. And the beef cheeks were super soft and tore apart.

Unbelievable service & recommendations from the servers. The food was fantastic, including dessert. We wish we had found it earlier - we would’ve eaten there often.

When you arrive to San Sebastián with your family you are excited to go and taste the pintxos. You don’t know where to start so you count on 2 things : advices and proximity. We started our first pintxos experience with Atari place. The kitchen...was closed because it was over 23:00 no problem. We picked a few cold pintxos available at that time and we hade a few drinks. The waiter who served us left his place for a while and was replaced by a lady sorry not a lady a nervous impolite unhappy about her job and with no education woman! I asked for the check and as they were unorganized (don’t go there) she’d couldn’t find it so she asked me what I had : I gave the detail pintxo by pintxo drink by drink … she became nervous and I had the feeling that she didn’t trust me like if I wanted to fool her. She said very violently and rudely : this is only what you have, it is not enough, when did you arrive … and the voice climbing up. I told her very quietly in Spanish , listen first of all I am the client , show me a little bit of respect and talk quietly… she started shouting and called her manager … the second lady (not a lady by the way they are coming from the same uneducating school) took her defense and asked me to repeat again… in order to finish up quickly she gave me the check I paid and left without paying attention. When I arrived to the neighbor pintxos restaurant where the experience was very good (gandarias) I found out that 1) atari was much more expensive and 2) the 2nd woman charged we 4 pintxos at the most expensive price as if I took the same 4 most expensive pintxos. Conclusion: when you have success and your restaurant is full you don’t pay anymore attention to the service and you cause this kind of incidents . All this because of poorly trained and poorly educated people who can damage your businessMore

This is the pintxos place to be! We made some comparisons, but the bread and toppings are the freshest. You taste that good produce is used. The wines are great as well. Staff is super friendly, which is astonishing, considering the pace they need to...keep up. Get your pintxos at the bar, please don’t eat them there as this makes it impossible for others to order. Many just eat and drink on the church steps opposite the bar. Great atmosphere to accompany the great bites!More

I never drank gin. The gin here is life Changing. Great spot for a drink near the church.. lots of people around, great vibe!

Although there were free tables, we had to wait 20 minutes to be invited to the table. The waiter was very rude and the food was cold and the order brought wrong. Higher pay note. overall a very unpleasant experience.

I booked a table on the Terrace several weeks in advance and it was the correct decision. We had a lovely table directly opposite the beautiful illuminated Church where we could see all the action and savour in the San Sebastian atmosphere. The service from...the lovely waitress from Barcelona who spoke excellent English was exemplary! Atari only serves one type of White Wine which we ordered, the rose being too dark for us, and it was extremely drinkable. An addition to the menu last night was Tomato Salad to share and it was a generous bowl of skinned tomatoes with onions in a lovely dressing. We also ordered 'Patatas Bravas', fried chunks of potato served with tomato and garlic dips. We accompanied this with the Beef cheek with mashed potato as a 'pintxos' which was melt in the mouth and a pintxos of warm foie gras with sweetcorn cream and white chocolate - excellent. The pintxos were served with very nice rustic bread. The overall bill including two bottles of wine was 78 Euros (£66), superb value for wine, food and a taste of San Sebastian life!More

One of many visited during our tapas evening! Extremely busy everywhere!! Good selection of tapas accompanied with two glasses of dry sherry!

Service was poor. Found metal from scrubbing brush in our calamari. Tuna was straight out of a calm. Not the best considering this was a recommendation from a friend. And also not the cheapest
