4.5/10We ordered three dover soles. 20 minutes later, they told us they only had two left, so we ordered another fish. 10 minutes later, they told us they could only serve one! On the other hand, the waiter was not attentive of our table and yawned all the time. Finaly, when they brought us the check, they asked us if we were not going to leave more tip!!!

6/10Although there were few diners, service was slow. The salad was dripping with olive oil and inedible (when we finally had it cleared and said it was too oily not only did the waiter not care, the salad remained on the bill). The fish was well-prepared. A disappointing last dinner in Madrid.

10/10+1We heard about this place from a friend. We were received at the door by Horacio. He quickly prepared a table and seated us. We wanted many of their offerings but he helped us narrow them down. We ended up with a Ensalada Verduras, a plate of grilled razor clams, and a whole turbot with potatoes and roasted red peppers. We complimented the meal with an Albariño. The food came efficiently but not hurried at all. The atmosphere was relaxed but not slow. staff were friendly and gracious. Unfortunately, we did not have room for dessert. Next time!

5.5/10The wait staff ignored us. When they finally took our order, the food began to arrive but I had to remind the staff that we had ordered wine. The grilled octopus and a chick pea soup appetizer was delicious. The rolls were stale and the rice with seafood was over salted and the seafood was hard to find. Our hotel concierge made the recommendation and I suspect she gets a kickball.
