Reading the previous reviews help a lot to understand what to expect when eating there: they will try to charge you 2,5€ per bread unless you tell them you don’t want it, also beware that the menu does not includes the tax which will be added later at the bill. Besides these two important things, the overall experience was ok, the food was acceptable with the discount of the Fork, and the service was between average and for some moments sightly less than average, as a few examples, the waiter spilled the wine when serving it, and took very quickly the empty dishes almost without asking. By that point my family decided that they didn’t deserved any tips, when we always do.

Nothing to rave about. A tourist place. Not recommended.

Gracias por su respuesta, que todavia seguimos sorprendidos con lo de un lugar de turistas, cuando usted vino con 5 turistas , quizas lo no recomendado es gente como usted para tener en cuenta los restaurantes de la zona

The experience was overall very positive. The food was good, both the croquettes and the paella. The employees were nice and the service was fast. It takes a bit for the paella to come, but it's worth the wait for the quality. Overall a very nice experience!

Historical restaurant near underground stop "Opera", very well connected. The service was fast and friendly. The paella was the best I've tried in Madrid (not the best overall). Final price is a bit expensive, but really not too much considering the location. With the discount the bill is absolutely fine.

While Madrid is not known for Paella, we wanted to partake in this traditional dish before ending our trip to Spain. One of the guides we utilized suggested this establishment, we wound up delighted! We noticed that we could order it as part of a "Menu" which included starters, a beverage and dessert. All food was presented in an outstanding manor, was well prepared and tasted very good. The Paella was perfect, not overcooked over-seasoned nor greasy. The service was also spot-on. In all, a wonderful experience on our last night in Madrid.

We had a wonderful time and the food was excellent. Our only little quirk was the waiter who came across as a bit snobbish but he slowly loosened up towards the end

Good not as good as it used to be. The paella was so so and the rice was hard and lobster very small for two. The shrimp appetizer had the vain in it. Didn’t even clean the shrimp accordingly. Will never go back again when in Madrid

First time I ever had paella and we picked probably the best place in Madrid for it. It came out in a huge pan complete with all sorts of shellfish. Very tasty and filling, can’t ask for much more
