7/10I ordered the codfish, a tomato salad, lemon sorbet and sparkling water and the bill was $48 euro. The tomato salad was delicious. Ripe tomatoes and onions in a vinaigrette with chili flakes was amazing. The cod was perfectly cooked and tender. The lemon sorbet was gross. It was a melted slush that arrived in a glass with a straw. There was not enough sweetness to counter the citrus and it was like eating a raw lemon. When I told the server, she replied, “sorry you don’t like it,” and walked away. I was clear with her. That dish had not been made correctly. It was a good meal. I am glad I went. Mistakes happen.

8.5/10food is very good. oxtail ravioli is the best. also grilled octupus. only downside was initial service. we were sitting there for 20mins nobody bothered to serve us. then I had to stand up from my seat and find a waiter, who guided me to another, who guided me to another, who then finally got us a waiter! really? otherwise once the waiter was assigned all went well. but... guys get ur waiters controlled to serve ur customer.!

5/10Food was just okay; we were given bread at the table and then charged for it. It seems like the kind of restaurant that preys on tourists and takes advantage of those of us from countries who tip regardless. Definitely our least favorite meal in Spain.

6.5/10The quality and taste was not as we expected having read their nice reviews. From the fried eggs with Jamon and French fries dish, the eggs were missing but it was funny and they placed them when asked. Nice music but I don't know if we could repeat the same place.

7.5/10As a single diner, I watched a table of 7, who were seated well after I was, receive all of their drinks before I received my gin and tonic. I had to ask for salt, pepper, and olive oil.. even though the 2€ bread basket was brought immediately. The food and the AMAZING Nordés g&t made up for the service....but still. I received the English menu. Seems they favor the Spanish speakers.

9/10With just one night in Madrid, I dined with a large group of friends at this casual tapas bar in the heart of the city. Highly recommended, reasonably priced, interesting seasonal selections. I loved the fried artichokes (so tender), the baby fava beans with a perfectly-cooked fried egg, and the roasted asparagus with romesco. All delicious!

10/10Nice relaxed place, there is a bar for a quick bite in the front, and a table sit restaurant in the back with more substantial dishes. Food is super tasty and fresh. Very friendly waiters. We'll definitely go back

5.5/10We were disappointed with the food quality. The batatas bravas tasted weired, the meat was salty and full of butter and the cheese platter was average. You would expect to have higher quality food for what you pay

10/10Liked this spot! Recommend the Tinto de Verona and Mahon cerveza to start. Favorite tapas were the aubergine frita and sirloin capaccio. Service relaxed but nearby when needed.

8.5/10Good value for money in the birthday menu. For 2 people is too much food, but everything was tasty and well presented. Desserts could be better, tough. Service is very quick and staff is very nice.

9/10We went here for new years and had their set menu. Although the restaurant was busy, the staff were super friendly and attentive. Along with the menu we also got the traditional grapes and a fun party bag (with a party hat, glasses, mustache etc.) which was a great surprise! The food was also quite good and the refills on the wine or beverages were included in the price. Additionally we could have had one free drink at the bar afterwards as well. Overall just a great ambiance with a great staff. I can definitely recommend it!

About this restaurant
"A gastronomic oasis in downtown Madrid, which brings back lifelong smells and tastes, reinterpreted to make eating out a pleasure again. The design is purely Spanish with small hints of Mediterranean such as olive trees that have been planted on the Gran Via bar. In honor of the transparency which governs its cuisine, it has an open kitchen, similar to the winery (with all national references) and all the details have been carefully taken care of to create a cozy and fun place, such as the idea of installing three long tables running down the middle of the restaurant for those guests who prefer to 'share' space. At the bar-cafe, to hit the streets, you can have breakfast, enjoy an aperitif, delve into an attractive menu of tapas and homemade dishes (where the traditional omelet, salad, homemade ham croquettes and a select assortment of domestic cheeses are not missing), eat quickly, right throughout the day or even have a snack."
