    Average food but large portions. Ordered our steak “pink” in the middle. It arrived red and rare. Had to send it back to the kitchen to cook more, which they gladly did. Service was very good!

    Food is lower quality compare to what it was in summer. Suckling pig was definitely average, their home liquor also not as good as 8 month ago.

    This was a very pleasant restaurant which I believe has a long history. We were very happy with both the food and the service. The ambience was quiet, good for conversation, old-fashioned in the good sense of that description.

    Our suckling pig was fabulous. Crispy skin, tender and moist meat. We couldn’t have asked for a better dish. The bread was dried out and not good. Two of the three servers were great and the third one was horrible. I don’t know what his issue was, but I hope we never encounter him again. But like I said, the pig was great and even worth the obnoxious server.

    Food, drinks, and service were excellent. We sat outside where crowds of people were lined up for calamari sandwiches. Special shout out to Miguel our waiter.

    It’s an historical traditional Spanish restaurant with authentic cuisine located next to Plaza Mayor. We are happy about the food and services.

    Suckling pig was delicious and the complimentary grappa was a surprise and was fantastic. My husband said the cheesecake was the best he has tasted!

    I can’t believe that in the most touristic area of Madrid none of the waiters was speaking English. None of them was smiling, behaving like we were bothering them. The salad came and no one was giving you any salt-pepper or oil extra . The food was tasteless and as of the paella I have eaten better ones . We payed 100 euros for a salad,an octopus and the paella. I don’t mind paying a thousand euros if it’s worth it but unfortunately it was not.

    It was a lovely restaurant with an excellent atmosphere. The waiter was extremely attentive. The food was excellent. I wish they had more chicken options - but what I was able to order (I don't eat beef or pork) was fantastic. I went out with friends, and they also raved about their meals. At the end, the waiter brought us out a small, complimentary bottle of some kind of excellent tasting apricot liqueur. This was the best place we ate in Madrid. Highly recommend. **Note there are 2 restaurants located close to each other. There is an open-air on in Plaza Mayor. The one we went was just around the corner with an indoor dining area (we chose indoor so we could be in the air conditioning because of the Madrid heat). You can go to the one in Plaza Mayor, and they will show you were the other one is located if you can't find it.

    We visited the restaurant hoping for a pleasant experience, but unfortunately, it felt like we were expected to leave before we had even sat down. The service was rushed, giving the impression that our presence was more of an inconvenience than a welcome. The waiter did try to make himself understood, but communication was difficult and added to the overall discomfort. The food was average at best and did not make up for the lack of hospitality. We would not return.
