The hostess (Tatiana) was nice and friendly, made us felt welcome and so did the gentleman who took our order. Unfortunately the waitresses were not as welcoming as the other 2 people… conversations were only made when serving the food, she did ask if we wanted to have dessert but felt as if it was just a standard meal question. Other than that the food were delicious 👍🏼👍🏼

Terrific, professional upscale restaurant. We got pulpo, calamari, a rice dish, and dessert - Pedro Jimenez sherry. More than enough food, great service - attentive and not intrusive. The rice dish was done in the style I like, firm rice with a bit burnt around the circumference. We enjoyed a bottle of cava - perfect fit for our food. Prices were a little high, but I think the current exchange rate makes it more noticeable. Highly recommend if you want seafood & rice dishes.

Mixed feelings. One fish was very good (Rodaballo) and another well below average (Lenguado). Aperizers were good, but a black rice was so, so. They ran out of one of our favourites apetizers (boquerones fritos). The restaurant has several branches and although they shouldnt, they differ in quality. The best one for me is the one in Las Letras.

The food was excellent. We ate oysters as a starter, pulpo as a main and a delicious fondant as a dessert. Everything was absolutely amazing.

The smell of the cleaning products were so strong we had to move outside in the heat. Please try not to clean with heavy duty products. My second experience was not as nice.

I’ve been going to this restaurant for years. It’s very consistent in the freshness of their fish. Try the fresh fish grilled or baked in a salt block. Probably have the best Ibérico ham croqueta in Madrid.

Good option, particularly to go with friends and share some dishes

I ate a half portion of gallecian style octopus, which was excellent- meaty and not fatty, It was a bit too oily for me though - the potatoes were drowned actually - and this made me regret choosing fried anchovies as my second course, though in contrast these were lovely and light, just a whisp of crunchy batter on the outside. I finished with a green salad - perhaps I should have asked to dress it myself because although the oil was very good there was way too much. Overall very good And I would have said excellent if not for the overuse of oil.
