Restaurant closed a month ago. Why can you still book it on the fork ? Why do you still receive a confirmation for your booking ?

Non-English speaking service, No proper wine list, very ordinary food and a poor selection of Music playlist without a proper sound system…very Disappointing for a Michelin Recommended restaurant.

The food was outstanding. Due to language skill the prestation of the different plates was a bit restricted. However, with mutual goodwill, the evening was excellent.

The restaurant was very cosy and charming. The service was friendly, genuine and attentive. We had the degustation menu with matching wines and it was innovative and delicious. The wines were nicely paired with each dish. I highly recommended this restaurant.

Attentive service. Very accommodating - I found the degustation menu filling and asked to takeaway the last 2 courses which they helped me pack. Their goat sirloin was absolutely divine!

The service was very good, which to me is one of the most important things. Ambience was great, we had the menu del día, well priced, 6 plates of food. They were good but all bordering on the sweet side. For me the dish of carrillada with a chocolate sauce was inspirational, the balance was achieved. The panacotta was incredible!!!

Visiting Madrid from Albuquerque, New Mexico, this meal was outstanding in every respect. The five courses were creative and delicious pared with wines that were the perfect complement. Our server was gracious and patient with our Spanish. Truly a Michelin to savor.

I had originally made a reservation for 8:00 pm, but the restaurant unilaterally changed it to 8:30 pm, which made me wait outside. The waiter cannot speak English. During the meal, the restaurant suddenly lost power, leaving it completely dark. Despite these issues, the food at the restaurant was still quite delicious. The prices were also reasonable, making it worth a try. Overall, however, it didn't seem like a Michelin recommended restaurant.
