Central place, food ok. I would like to seat outside but don't let me because reservation is just inside. I didn't feel confortable with this reason.

Good traditional food near Puerta del Sol

First of all, the table was located near a long table which was super noisy, the people just kept shouting at the top of their voice, making our experience irritable as we could barely hear each other talk. Then, when the food was coming out we noticed everything was just too salty, covered in salt flakes. As a main we ordered the 1kg of meat, cooked Medium which came out in blood, rare, if not blue. We had to ask for re-cooking twice, as even the first time, it was just too bloody.

The food was not good: we ordered well-done meat and received a very red piece instead. The service was poor: they didn’t clear the plates even when the table was full, and despite being simple dishes, they took a long time to arrive.

This is the second visit and it was as good as the first time. Great service from everybody, especially the manager who made sure our party of 7( 2 kids) was taken care of. Great dishes, my favourite being the fideua ( I kept thinking about it since the last time). Also the violet gelato. We left happy and full, we simply couldn’t finish everything-but we tried 😂 thank you for another memorable meal.

Great attention by our waiter. The food was great and we received great recommendations. Something went wrong with the discounts though. We booked with a discount but the message from the Fork didn't have the discount, nor the restaurant had it.

The Pork Belly was perfectly cooked but that was the best part of the evening. The paella was overcooked, which made it hard and dry on top, although it had plenty of seafood in it. When we arrived at the door, nobody greeted us. We found a waiter and he went to get the head waiter (I assume, because he was dressed differently), but that guy just pointed to a table behind him so we just went and sat there. There was a serviette missing and both forks were missing. Nobody came for a while so we had to get up and get some forks from the counter and a serviette from another table. Eventually, we were served by the same head waiter who doesn’t know how to smile or engage his customers. We felt like we were at a funeral. In the end, the overall experience wasn’t super bad, but it wasn’t super good either. Just AVERAGE.
