When you're driving from one place (Seville) to another (Madrid) and decide to pull over in a small…read moretown for some vittles, the last thing you expect to find is a six-star-worthy restaurant. [N.B. I have been promoting the idea of allowing senior Yelp Elites a once-a-year opportunity to give a restaurant a six-star review under the theory that some places are great (and earn 5 stars), but occasionally you stumble across a place that is above and beyond. FWIW, I think Yelp HQ is generally ignoring me.]
Anyway... El 7 de Sillerias was FAN-TAS-TIC! I'll try not to hit the character limit with superlatives, so here goes:
The staff were amazing! We had a service dog along with us and they treated him like a full-blown guest, refilling his water as needed, etc., while respecting the service dog code: working dog, do not pet.
The wine options were deep and reasonable, and the bar drinks were perfection (both mocktail and otherwise).
I had the meatballs, which were cooked flawlessly. So many meatballs today are cooked into chewy knobs of meat under the assumption that the sauce will save them (which generally doesn't work). Here, they were just right and tender as you-know-what.
The Mrs. had some kind of burrata ball in a sauce that was not only beautiful but also delicious.
The final dish was a ribeye that blew everyone's collective minds. Tender, juicy, and in a sauce that was to die for. 100% recommend.
So normally I'm not a dessert guy, but boy am I glad I chose to be on this day. I had the cinnamon-coated bread pudding (I think the menu may say it's rice; I can't remember) that rocked my world. Not too sweet, but pure heaven.
My kid had a brownie ice cream thing that looked like it would be too sweet but wasn't. It was lovely.
So... 6 stars? You betcha. This one is easy. I am sad to see that there hasn't been a review of this place in YEARS, but I'm hoping that this one will put it back on the Yelp map.
Enjoy... and you're welcome.
