Loup de Mer over cooked at PreMierk Restaurant

A large part of our group went out to dinner in Bilbao. A 3 course meal was served and we could choose from 2 different entrees and 3 desserts. The starter was the same for all of us.
We all looked forward to this, because we booked a premium kind of dinner opposed to the Hotel food on 3 nights.

The restaurant was part of a wine bar and the interior decoration was great. We sat surrounded by wine bottles.

The starter was nice, Serrano ham, Foie gras and some small croquettes with mushroom or ham. These balls were a bit mediocre.

Most of us chose Loup de Mer, because the beef cutlet would come rare to medium rare. And it was mostly rare and you had to chew a good while.

I got a thick piece of fish and was nicely surprised about the size of this expensive fish. But my surprise did not last long.
The fish was rubbery, dry and fully overcooked. But nit only my piece was bad, most of our group had the same dry fish. You had to tear it apart and chew it down.
What a shame. Such a great fish and such a bad cook. The fries on the side were just mushy and oily, not so good either.

For dessert I choose cheesecake. The other two desserts been strawberry ice cream (artificial- that had never seen a strawberry) and Scottish coffee. Not something Basque to choose from and mediocre.

The wines were good and we had fun with those.
