For me a must in Madrid, it is not cheap, but to get this quality is definitely worth it. Old fashioned but innovative, a good mix of both and that is not easy to find!

Very nice restaurant. A very, very staid atmosphere. This is old school dining from another era.

This may be the best high-end value in town. Food, Service and Ambiance all excellent. Don't misunderstanding it is not inexpensive but I thought the price v. quality value was among the best I've seen for high-end dining. If you want to be treated special for an evening this is the place to be - Enjoy.
