The great quality of the food, I had oysters, superb!! and a whole grilled sole which is rare to see, it of an exceptional freshness, Even the olives that were brought with my wine were so delicious, not like anything I had before, there was no vinegar but they were mixed with olive oil and a few finely cut vegetables, I will return

The place and food are very nice. We asked for recommendations and the waiters didnt explain much. They charge us the entraince without requesting it that was inappropiate.

Great food, but terrible service. The runners try their best, but the servers don’t make the cut. Everyone seems to be in a rush, lack of dishes explanations. I ended getting up from my table and refilling our wine .. too many issues regarding the service. Kudos to the kitchen tho.

The restaurant has a nice covered terrace in the front. Food is good, service is sufficiently quick, but English is not easy.

Our second time back, came for the first time a week ago and fell in love so came back again tonight. The Albariño is delicious as were the scallops starter. Highly enjoyed the tomato and anchovies as well. The mariscos paella is a must have and so is the tiramisu. Okay so basically it’s all amazing!

Very disappointing. High food cost with poor quality. Ordered sangria and was mostly sprite, sent it back but still charged. For dinner order seafood paella, pretty much all rice. Seemed like a tourist place that you wouldn’t want to repeat

Upon recommendation of friends my partner and I enjoyed some of the best seafood here on passage to Madrid. Excellent, and surprisingly quiet location in Madrid's centre.

Was recommended this place by my neighbour and we were not disappointed. Their seafood is marvelous, plenty of good wines to choose from and the ambience if you keep on walking deeper into the restaurant is very cozy and slightly quieter. Friendly and attentive staff. We will return for sure!
