La Cuchara de San Sebastian - Grilled octopus and a Marguerita. What's not to love.

They just recently opened, before there was another Japanese place…read more You can eat there or order to the room service and enjoy the meal in your suit if you're staying at the Marquis Hotel. We took Beef Tartar for appetizer. It looked like they have it in France except for it was served with hard toasts instead of hot fries. And tasted more like a fish tartar, what I mean is that they marinated the meat with too much of lemon juice and other ingredients that go better for the fish dishes and covered the flavor of the meat here. I'd put more olive oil, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and an egg yolk, no any lemon at all. Paella with all peeled seafood was delicious. Good amount of shrimps, fish, mussels, clams and even octopus -all fresh and soft. I think they used not Arborio rice, but it looked like Jasmin rice to me. And added roasted bell peppers gave more aromas to the dish. Filet with a Roquefort sauce was tender and mild, delicate flavor, cooked to our liking - rare. It was served with grilled vegetables. They have a lot of traditional Spanish tapas, such as Pulpo a la gallega (octopus), calamari, manchego cheese, jamon, fuet etc. As well as Mediterranean style main courses: pastas, paellas, fish, seafood, poultry and meat. All that we ordered was savory, sapid and yummy. Desserts were on a tray in display. Among rice pudding, Crème Brule, chocolate tart etc - we chose traditional cheese cake. It was very appetizing. Service attentive and well-timed.

Excellent Spanish restaurant located in the Hotel Marquis Reforma: the food, service and wine were…read moreexcellent.

The lechon was also very good. The paella was ok because I think they need to get it out soon. Service and drinks were really good. Amazing ambiance and super clean restrooms.

We came on Saturday night for the medieval dinner, we made recommendations in advance but it looked…read morelike there was enough space where you could come last second if you didn't have a reservation. Their website said the dinner went from 830-1030, but it doesn't actually start until 9 and the show ends closer to 1130 (though the wine does stop 2 hours after they first bring it out) The four course meal is enough to keep you full, but none of the dishes are spectacular. I liked the entree the best, the boar was really tender and the nutty sauce complimented it well. It's hard for me to not like a dish where nutty is one of the predominant flavors so take it with a grain of salt. The show was very well done, even as someone who doesn't speak Spanish I found it very entertaining. They had a wide range from musical performance to acrobatics and audience interaction with giant jesters. While the show was a fun time I do think there are better ways you could spend a Saturday evening if you're only in town for one weekend. If you happen to live in the area or be around for an extended period of time I think it'a a fun night out.
