    overcharging with starters that they brought on the table and giving a false impression they are free (they never said they have to be paid and we did NOT order them), and then they added them on the bill. such a scam....

    Food was not good - did not taste fresh, pheasant was dry with a sweet soy sauce - nothing french about that.

    Food wasn’t bad but service was abhorrent. For me it was the waiter slamming the menu and food down that got me. You could tell he was over his job, didn’t want to be there and put that on us. I’m not one to typically write a scathing review but boy was that bad. It’s a memory of where not to go that we laugh about today so thank you for that

    Food is a little bit mediocre. Definitely they have to improve the food, specially the way they cook.

    The décor of the restaurant was warm, romantic and cozy. We really enjoyed the fact that the dining area had enough room for intimacy, but not enough for loud, noisy groups. The service was quick, but the younger waiter did not seem to be having a good evening and appeared a bit rushed and annoyed. The senior waiter was nicer and understood the importance of his role in the dining experience. The cuisine was definitely a highlight. It was high quality and expertly prepared. For our 30th wedding anniversary, we wanted a unique dining experience, and each dish was a pleasant surprise.

    This was the best meal I have ever had. If I’m ever given a last meal request, it will be at this restaurant. My wife had the Delights Esquina del Real: 3 tournedos of Beef Tenderloin Medallions with our 3 sauces, Green Pepper, Roquefort, and Morels Mushrooms, the meat was tender and flavorful, and the sauces were to die for. I had the Oven-roasted Pheasant with small French onions and Cassis mustard, tender and juicy, and the best sauce I have ever had.

    Excellent food and service. The only detail to improve the standard of this restaurant will be to provide a basket of various high level bread. In Madrid we can find excellent French bakeries which can supply very good bread.

    We ordered two dishes, the price is €24 each on the menu. But they charged us €14 each after 50% off. Let’s feel very bad.

    we have been to this resturant many times before, each visit prices went up, but this time it was totally expensive. They also made a mistake with the main dish of one of us, so I had to eat mine alone till my partner will recieve what he ordered. In general I must say the service is very good. For main dishes around 30 euros could work, but for soup and starters to charge 25-36 euros is too much. We had 30% off and paid at the end for 2 persons 120 euros (so full price would be for couple 165-175 euros).

    Great chance to close our yearly strategy planning cycle in a lovely restaurant with great food. Our directors were so impressed with everything: the wines, the food and the atmosphere. Thank you for a lovely evening.

    Let's start from the good things: the food is excelent. Whatever we took was above expectation. But there were few things which made the experience a bit stressfull. First, is the menu. It is "stylish", but it is difficult to read, especially if you are not native speaker of the language. On top of it, instead of printed version of the menu it is suggested to use smartphone. So, instead of discussing the menu all visitors were stuck in the phones, what a scene for highly rated restaurants! Second, the service. Ok, it is explained in the menu that bread is not for free, but I would not expect that previous bread to be removed each time the dish is completed and new one is put on the table. I had to ask to keep the bread on table and not to bring more new. There was some difficulty to communicate in English with the waiters, and all of the above instead of being relaxed during the visit casued us being all the time in a kind of some inconvinience. Once again, the food itself is excellent, but it is not enough to give maximal rating.

    This restaurant was the best I could find in Madrid. Staff is so nice, food is delicious and the flavors are amazing. Meat and fish are super fresh. I could have eaten there for the entire trip lunch and dinner. Strongly recommended
