10/10What a bright and wonderful space. And the food was well prepared -- beef tenderloin and potatoes done with foie gras. Our servers were awesome with a special shout-out to Juanjo for taking care of us and explaining the menu and Maria Julia right behind him.

2/10After being seated we got ignored for about 10 minutes while others were served (we had no waters or menu). We were finally handed menus without descriptions or any dialgoue welcoming us or acknowledging our anniversary (which was in our reservation notes), and asked what we wanted to drink (again, rushing us after we were waiting for 10 minutes wondering who was going to talk to us). Overall we were having absolutely awful service, so we decided we didn't want to continue with the full tasting menu that we ordered. I went to the front to explain this along with the context that this was a special night for our anniversary, and express my displeasure at being ignored and treated as an inconvenience. The kind host said she would get the manager to talk to me. Instead, he told her to charge us for our two glasses of champagne and tell us we were free to go. I then said, "So he doesn't want to come talk to me directly?", and the host confirmed that and apologized.

10/10We were very impressed by the 'Menu iberico'. The quality of the food was excellent, with perfect presentation on plates. Antonio and his colleagues provided excellent service, too, and the location was species. We expected the restaurant to be good as it was recommended in the Michelin restaurant guide,, but what we experienced still surpassed our expectations.

6.5/10Very disappointed! The fish has bones and didn’t handle it well , after telling the waiter and no answer until we pay ! The check is wrong calculate and need to redo again ! Asking what’s wrong with the fish and waiter simply answered he told the chef already . Not very professional!

4.5/10Feels like you are dining in the screened off lobby area of a hotel - which indeed I think you are. So not great ambiance wise. Service was attentive and they did meet our request to allow to leave in time for our show. The steak by weight was huge (which we weren’t told - and hence cost a fortune) and my daughter hadn’t really envisaged a massive slab of unadorned meat. No sauce, no garnish just a side bowl of weird soggy chips. Not great. Fish of the day was nice. My red tuna was tiny and totally blackened and served with flame grilled cauliflower. Ugh. Not a great combo I’m afraid. Bread was nice - had to ask for olive oil which was poured out first us - a small spoonful. Perhaps we were lowbrow for having to ask for it but other restaurants just bring it straight out.

4.5/10Such a disappointment! I hate leaving a negative review but for the sake of other diners I feel I must. We had the tasting menu expecting a little finesse. Unfortunately it was more like leftover scraps put on nice china. The positives- good bread, pleasant waiter, tasty pasta and black pudding course and nice dessert. All served on beautiful china. Negatives- nothing memorable or imaginative. The artichoke with cubes of pork was so bland that it was inedible. The cod was chewy, overcooked and contained pin bones. To top it off, we were short changed. The overflowing bin in the ladies’ room was a gruesome sight which didn’t help either. The Michelin inspectors should come here incognito and see for themselves.

2/10I would not reccomend that place and to be honest it was really surprising to me that the restaurant got a Michelin star for several years in a row. I came with my pregnant woman and the knowledge of the service men in terms of restrictions of the dishes and the ability to find replacements was really disappointing. The bread was actually awesome but overall it was one of the most disappointing restaurants I have been visiting for the last few years

5.5/10Food was good but ambience was not great. It’s basically in a hall of a hotel with room dividers to kind of separate the space. For a €50+ dinner I do not think is fair.

6/10The food and wine was nice. We didn’t take the menu and asked for guidance to know more about the dishes. No help. The service was poor and we won’t go back to the restaurant

8/10The food here is decent, but nothing special — definitely not memorable. It’s the kind of meal you forget as soon as you leave. What really stood out, though, was the attitude of the staff. From the moment we arrived, there was a noticeable air of pretension, like they were making a favor by serving you (it happens a lot in Spain). Service was incredibly slow, and not in a relaxed, take-your-time way — just poorly managed. The staff wasn’t rude, but they weren’t warm either. It felt like we were being tolerated, not welcomed. The ambiance is nice, and the decor suggests a high-end experience, but the food and service simply don’t live up to the image. When a place tries so hard to be “exclusive” but can’t deliver basic hospitality, it misses the point.

9.5/10We really enjoyed the food (Iberian tasting menu) and service by Anthony was excellent. We trusted him to compose a wine menu, and was very satisfied. We would love to come back next time we visit Sevilla.

10/10Everything was perfect. Our culinary journey began in a refined and bright location, nestled in the heart of Seville. The food was delicious and sophisticated, the flavors excellently balanced, and the attention to detail was exemplary. The waiting staff was very kind, friendly, and attentive. Our lunch, consisting of two tasting menus, went splendidly. We were pleasantly impressed and grateful for the service we received. Furthermore, the quality-price ratio is excellent. For all these reasons, I highly recommend this gastronomic experience.

+1Service was great. Really attentive and friendly staff. The wines tasted great but I wouldn’t really describe them as pairings. Just different wines for different dishes. Food was good. Not particularly exciting. Some dishes really only had one flavour but clearly were meant to have more. I’m happy with everything but not wowed like I have been by other tasting menus The restaurant is in a weird space cornered off by dividers which leaves the ambience a little to be desired.

8/10The main courses were lacking in vegetables, side dishes etc. I had the tuna which was lovely and apart from a little courgette was just tuna. Equally my partner had the pork medallions which was just pork with a little foie gras. Both meals would have benefited from some accompanying salad or potatoes or vegetables. The ambience, service etc were lovely.

3.5/10The space, in the lobby of a low end motel, felt like dining in a bus terminal. Worse dining experience during our five weeks in Spain. Food was mediocre at best. This should not be on a Michelin list!

10/10We went for Lunch and had à la Carte dishes. Since it is mid January, it can get quite chilly and lots of restaurants in Sevilla are not heated. This one was, and this was very much appreciated. The service is good, very friendly and effective. The waitress made an effort to explain the dishes in English to me, than you :) The dishes are nicely presented and very tasty. I had buñuelos and as a main, a rice dish that wasn’t on the menu. The porc was very tender, cooked slowly with mushrooms and carrots and rice in a very good sauce. We were here for the second time and we would visit again. If you like pork, you have to try this restaurant. It’s excellent!

6.5/10Very pork heavy menu and none of the main dishes had any vegetables served with them. There wasn’t even the option to add vegetables. Would be nice if they added veggies

5.5/10Service very friendky, food nice but could have been presented a bit more fancy but the ambience is zero. Make it a bit more colourful, place the tables differently. A candle or some flowers or plants somewhere. It is now like a train station waiting room with too much light. For the chef or owner to consider!?
