Georgiano was our server, personable and interesting he, like a lot of our servers, was from elsewhere in Europe (Georgia) and working for a few months in Madrid.

I was surprised to find that tortillas in Spain are vastly different from tortillas in The States: They are warm potato cheese cakes, almost like scalloped potatoes, but with extra fillings like onion, ham, etc. A command of Spanish is definitely needed here, but I was okay just as long as my other two friends ordered for me. If I had to order on my own, I could have easily whipped out my Google Translate app and gotten through everything okay. ;-) The tortillas were FILLING. I mean, I only had a couple slices and I was completely full! The nice cold beer really helped wash things down. I think I'll keep this place in my roster the next time I find myself meandering around the streets of Madrid.

From the outside, it might not look like much, but this is now one of my favorite restaurants! First of all, the service was fantastic. Unlike other local establishments, our server was fast, attentive, and most importantly, she gave us the best recommendations! This place was packed by locals on a Thursday night so that alone was a great sign. We ordered vino tinto and beers. And they brought out some fried calamari, mussels, and bread to nibble on while we looked at the menu. We ended up getting the tomato and tuna salad which was fantastic! I can't wait to replicate this at home. Then we had jamón iberico and some tomato bread, and for our main course we feasted on a seafood platter (pictured below). That was definitely the star of the show. Although it took some work and was a little messy to peel all of the shells off, it was worth every effort! The seafood was so fresh! Lastly, they brought out two types of liquors for us to try after dinner, along with little chocolate ice cream bites and chocolate truffles. Overall, this place was also perfectly priced. For all of this we paid only €110, which I thought was a great deal for a group of 4, considering all the food and drinks we ordered. I would definitely recommend this place to locals and visitors alike. It's a little loud, so I wouldn't recommend it for an intimate date. But great for small groups!

The steak was very big but with a lot of fat. The ribs were ok. The fish was very tender but a little too salty. All in all i think that the prices are to high for an 'ok' meal. Another thing: there were pigeons everywere, fighting for bread crumbs. They even dared to fly on our table. The waiters were nice and were able to speak english.

The service unfortunately can be a hit and miss . The first day we went the service was terrible. Super rude, the server- Carlos had no personality, literally tossed everything on the table- he had apparently helped my parents the night before and they raved about him but unfortunately we can't say the same. The next night we all went back (my dad loved this place and wanted us to experience what he had ) and had a new server- Angel who was phenomenal. Tapas never stopped coming, drinks always filled, he was so attentive, charismatic and just made the experience amazing.
