    It was very good, but we were given a 20% discount when it was 30%. I told them and they did ajusta it.

    The starters were a bit disappointing, specially the baby cuttlefish, way too small. The main dishes were all very good. For desert we recommend the "filloas". Note the prices in the menu do not include VAT

    Our Spanish skills are very basic so we were not sure what we were ordering. The waiter was patient and helpful. The food was outstanding! Everything was top quality. Also, it is a heatwave in Madrid and the temperature inside the restaurant was pleasantly cool. I highly recommend a visit to this restaurant.

    This is a nice little restaurant. The interior is actually quite nice, rather upscale which matches the food. On the menu you will find a variety of classic Spanish dishes. Each one we tried was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. The prices are steep and the service is average. In the end, a good experience.

    An amazing experience. The staff was wonderful, caring and professional. The service was impeccable and all the little extras and attentions made it one of the best culinary experience in Madrid I've experienced so far.

    The food was okay but the bill ended expensive because they charged 9€ for bread and 22€ for wine, 4€ for water. For 4 people with 3 entrantes, 4 main dishes and 3 desserts the bill was 132€

    Nice food and staff, but decoration could be improved. Good value for money though. Steak tartare really well seasoned but the fries were fewer than expected.

    The restaurant is living on OLD recommendations! Poor service, too expensive food. The food was average. We booked by The fork and 50% off on food. They had only one menu in english. The one in Spanish was with prices on (which we could not understandand), the one in English WITHOUT prices on ??? It was impossible to compare the menus, to try to figure out the price, because they did not resemble each other at all. And the stuff could not translate or explain it. ABSURD!!! On the bill we found an extra dish 23 € (at full price and which we never ordered and never get). It can happen to everyone, but as a guest/customer you expects an excuse, and dont have to count plates to convince the waitress that she is wrong. 8.8. € for 4 small breads !!!! The waitress ask if we would like some more bread, without telling us that it costs extra. Yes I know that many restaurants charges for bread, but 2,2€ for one small peace! And no 50% off on bread, the answer was ”it’s not food!” Our bill came out 3 times. Wrong every time. When we on our way out, tell them that we got a bad treatment, the waitress said "but the food is good", and she pointed to the door. There were some stickers from Michellin guide. Yes, the last one was in 2012. Unfortunately, the restaurant lives on old recommendations! Never experienced anything like it!

    It was my 2nd time at this restaurant and I left with the enjoying feelings like last time. I am not sure if it is August thing in Madrid (after 10 PM) or it is just the area where it is located but it was again a full restaurant to ourselves again. The restaurant staff did not rush us out, gave us the excellent service and most important - delicious food. This year they had a menu in English and used Google translator to explain about dishes. They let us try wine before ordering a bottle. My whole family was very happy.

    Excellent food - our third time eating here and we have always thoroughly enjoyed the dishes and been impressed with the standard. I am coeliac and eat gluten-free and the menu helpfully indicates many gluten-free options and delicious gluten-free bread is provided if you ask - best to warn them in advance as they need to heat it.

    Good quality products. We'll prepared, though all dishes a bit too salty for our tastes. Worth pointing out to the chef beforehand. Polite service. It was a Monday with only one other diner, so a lack of atmosphere, but it actually suited us. Taberna adjoining restaurant a little noisy. Overall though satisfied and a good price with the discount.
