    The concierge recommended it for pre-dinner cocktails. It was near my hotel, the JW Marriott. It…read morelooks like nothing from the outside but inside it is very lively and colorful! The drink menu is so creative it takes a while to decide. Drinks are divided by flavor profiles: fruity, refreshing, etc. with some other creative categories. (Sadly my picture of the table of contents did not come out.) I got an Inspirasion Paloma and it was delicious. We only had one round since we were in our way to dinner. Highly recommend!

    So this is another review that has been sitting in my review drafts for, now, about 5 months... so…read morethings could have changed. Certainly, with a place like this, all of the specific *drinks* may well have changed, being that they were all so technical, with so many house or freshly made moving parts, i.e. my favorite kind of nerdy cocktail bar. But presumably they're still making drinks as cool as the were a few months ago. They don't take reservations, so we just got there right when they opened, which is the way to do it. There were only a couple other people there right at 4 that day, but within half an hour, it was completely full. (Also yeah, Yelp says they open at 5 PM, but they... definitely open at 4.) Despite being *very* busy, we never had any difficult ordering drinks, nor getting them back quickly, and I ordered a... bunch of drinks (well, with my wife, who despite not normally being a cocktail person, was definitely drinking her share of all of them.) I absolutely loved the detailed descriptions of exactly how each cocktail is made (I learned a new word, enfleurage! In this case, of cardamom through peanut butter), the amount of effort that clearly went *into* all of them (house-made hop distillate, falernum, gin they re-distilled with pickle brine, the enfleurage, to quote, a "labor-intensive perfume extraction process"...), but more importantly, I can't stress enough, all of their cocktails were absolutely *wonderfully* delicious. All quite unique enough to scratch the itch for weird cocktail nerds like me, who don't want to drink classics, but unique concepts no other bar has done - but also all perfectly balanced and quite complex, both the spirit-forward ones (a Vieux Carre with mango chutney and hop extract instead of Benedictine and bitters! A Negroni that's been aged in ex-sherry barrels in a solera system like a sherry!), and the wacky sweet-savory ones (pisco milk punch and fish sauce! Mezcal and ponzu sauce, clarified through Greek yogurt! Citrus, balsamic, fancy honey and pickle gin!) All their drinks absolutely lived up to the hype. I don't know if any of those drinks are still available, but if not, I'm sure equally inventive ones took their place, so either way, I'd definitely make sure to come back if I happened to back in the area instead of halfway across the planet. We didn't get food here, just drinks - but we absolutely took *full* advantage of the complimentary chips being offered. When we discovered how wonderful their (made in-house) chips were, we kept asking for more. We went through a *bunch* of little plates of chips. Especially as they went *particularly* well with all of the cocktails, again, both spirit-forward and interestingly sweet-savory-funky cocktails, paired really well with craft chips. The drinks already made this place a 5/5, but with the free all-you-want craft chips? That's like a 6 out of 5.

    This restaurant is located on the outskirts of Aranjuez and is set in the coutryside which is the…read morekind of places that I like. It has a nice and modern bar as you walk in, an indoor restaurant which is very cosy and outside they have an outdoor restaurant that seats upto 100 people which is ideal for celebrations, weddings and comunion celebrations. The service is excellent, they are very attentative and as soon as we sat down, the waiter came with a plate of fried chistorra and rice morcilla for us to share whilst he took our drinks order. A glass of red wine for me! We decided to opt for the €12 daily menu which looked good! The first plate was a deliciously tasting salad with caramelized onion, balsamic vinegar and feta cheese. Not my usual type of salad but I can honestly say that even though it was sweet, it was really delicious, not even a scrape left over on the plate! For the second plate I opted for an autumn/winter dish as the weather now calls for this type of food so I chose a bowl of stewed of beans and morcilla. Very tasty indeed, I could have eaten this plate 5 times over as it´s the type of food that I really enjoy! For my third plate I chose the churrasco which is one of my favourite meats and it turned out just as I expected it to, delicious, and also served with chips and a tomato, onion and pepper sauce. For pudding I chose the Ferrero Rocher chocolate cake, and what a cake it was, I don´t usually have desert but as I love Ferrero Rocher chocolates I just had to try this cake, very satisfying indeed, I was really stuffed after! So all in all I had a very good experience at this restaurant and will definately go back! Good food, good price and good service!
