The place is very nice, the food is outstanding. It's a shame that at the end of the meal they start drying cutlery, dishes, and glasses, and the noise is so loud you'd want to leave; it's unbearable.

Amazing seafood, maybe the best I’ve had in Madrid, and the service was also very good. Friendly and accommodating staff.

The food was excellent. Servers were very nice and efficient but super undermanned! Also, the loud music and tv in the dining room destroyed the ambiance

Delicious salmon salad as a starter and tasty octopus Galician style. However my wife’s hake was served without its lime sauce and sautéed spinach. Elements of good service during our meal but also some disappointing service which I would not expect ; I had to remind the waiters three times about mineral water ordered initially with our wine. Also I, and two other customers, had to request for the restaurant front door to be closed on a cold evening.

We found this restaurant and fell in love with its simple marine decor. We arrived for lunch. The appetizer calamares de potera a la andaluza (fried squid) was sublime. It was crunchy, sweet and very well cooked. We also had croquettes, salpicón de mariscos and pulpo a la gallega. All the appetizers were excellent. We followed with merluza al pilpil, and arroz meloso de mariscos with were very good. I forgot what we had for dessert and ended with a shot of orujo, Paxo de Valdomiño. Because the squid appetizer was out of the world, we returned at night two days later. Regretfully, the squid was not crunchy, rubbery and very distant from the plate we had enjoyed at lunch before. We followed with an order of tacos de merluza with fries, and the fish was excellently cooked, but the fries were raw. I called that to the attention of the server, and ordered another order. This time, the fish was overcooked and the fries were cooked to perfection. This excellent rating in this review is based on our lunch experience, and not the dinner experience, where presumably, another chef was tending the stoves.

The design of the dishes was poor. Taste was on point. Bread was good. Sparkling water was not Vichy brand THANK GOD! Coffee was horrible. €74.5 for 2 mains + 1 very ridiculously small appetizer + 2 waters + 1 beer. Too expensive for the offer. No reason to come back.
