    Truly amazing experience. The only problem is you cannot stop eating.

    A very good restaurant, the octopus and farm tomatoes were delicious. For some reason the meat arrived at out table 30 minutes after the rest of our order.

    Food is excellent and the service beyond expectation. If you are searching for a fish restaurant in the middle of Madrid look no further. Price quality really good!

    The first indication that the evening would not go as planned was they did not have our reservation made on The Fork? The service was very rushed even though the restaurant was not full. As we were seated in tables that were too close, we noticed the captain was very pushy to everyone. They were also out of the day’s special and we were early in the evening. For starters we had artichoke and asparagus. Both were served lukewarm warm. The asparagus was 23 euros for three and they were over cooked to the point of tasteless mush. Very disappointing. We had to pour our own water and wine. We would not recommend nor would we return.

    Many thanks to all the staff for a great experience (especially Sr Antonio)! We loved the artichokes, clams, beef tartar and green salad.

    Food and service were great. The restaurant is very noisy though, making it hard to have conversation over dinner.

    My wife and I ate here, and overall enjoyed our dinner and experience. My sirloin steak was excellent. My wife's selection, lamb ribs, tasted good butvtgerecwas very little meat, which we did not expect. A disappointing offering indeed. But, the service and ambiance were good. We would return.

    Loved the shrimp, squid, hake grilled and salads were so fresh and delicious. We ordered before we saw the specials on the table. Check them out!

    We had the garlic prawns and steak tartare along with a house red wine. Everything was first rate with a small amount spice heat in the tartare that I tasted before it was served. Dessert was tiramisu which was a bit too wet but otherwise a light post dinner repast. The cappuccinos were great. When the house is full the noise can be loud. We will return.

    I really like this place though today I found the food to be just “normal”. Service as usual very good. As always, somewhat empty and lacking ambience
