I'm from New York and I adore leisurely, slow-paced meals when at a fine dining restaurant.

I had a fabulous meal at Azurmendi in Bilbao but the whole tasting menu with wine pairings including the intro in the sunroom was all of 90 minutes max. I had not time to relax or digest or drink my wine! Within seconds of finishing a course the next would be brought out. Made the meal hard to enjoy.
