Odds restaurant prides itself on catering to an extraordinary diner, with a variety of culinary treats to please a range of guests. They even offer specialty items for those sensitive to gluten. Along with one of my dearest friends, I enjoyed a fabulous lunch in Salamanca at Odds Restaurant. The restaurant's modern design drew us in immediately, as the fluidity of the curved chairs mixed with the straight angles of the square tables and bench seating heightened the contemporary feel. The restaurant also has a beautiful terrace right in the action of the city. We took the server's suggestion of sharing some appetizers, truly engaging in enjoying the gastronomic adventure together. We started with tuna belly and tomato tartare over guacamole with alfalfa sprouts and lime vinaigrette. Punchy and citrusy thanks to the tomato and lime flavor, this dish excited the taste buds. The sprouts added a nice crunch. We also opted for homemade croquettes, which are made every day and the fillings vary. The Foie Mi-cuit was delicious, cooked exactly as expected, and served with a sweet wine sauce on toasted bread. For my main, I chose stuffed meat ravioli with mushroom sauce, Parmesan cheese and truffle oil, which was earthy and balanced in flavor. My friend loved his grilled octopus with slowly cooked potatoes and red paprika oil, served on a stick. The octopus was expertly grilled, and the potatoes had a soft, creamy texture. The braised veal cheek stew over mashed potato cream seasoned with truffles was a major hit as well, a truly unique dish. Not able to forgo dessert, we opted for a red velvet cupcake with violet ice cream, and fritters stuffed with chocolate and banana, served with wild red fruit sauce. Indulgent, sweet, decadent. A wonderful finish!

We stumbled upon this place as we were desperately trying to find food for our stomachs. My meal came with 2 fried eggs, 2 slices of pork loins, fries, and a cup of cappuccino. The cappuccino was lukewarm which was a big disappointment. Even more of a disappointment was that the chef didn't bother to let the fried eggs and fries rest on a piece of paper towel before serving them. My plate was full of grease. Fries were dry and not crispy. Eggs were fried in too much oil. Pork loins were dry and practically flavorless. This cost me about $8 so that made it slightly more annoying.

The food's quality was terrible: - The pizza ingredients were very low quality and not well distributed. - We ordered a simple margherita and it didnt even contain basil leaves. - We ordered a different pizza with egg and bacon: it was also really bad. - Even the balsamic vinegar was bad. (They only had once of these thick vinegar bottles, and the cap was all dirty) - the focaccia was the worst: It has a thick section that was half baked, and the rest of it looked like a thin crispy bread/cookie For the staff: - The staff tried to avoid adding the discount from the reservation. After complaining, they fixed it, but you shouldn't need to complain to prevent being charged extra. - The staff was a bit lost on what was their menu. - They were polite at least The restaurant: - This used to be a different restaurant, one of the best pizza places in Madrid. About aprox. 2 years ago, the owner sold the restaurant and a different one was put in place of it. However, they decided to keep the name of the restaurants as well as all the excellent reviews it had in apps like yelp and trip advisor. While it could be a bit unfair to compare, as it is a completely different restaurant, in which only the name of it remained, the restaurant now has cheaper prices than the original one from years ago, but the ingredients are even cheaper, so in reality, the quality to prize ratio got a massive negative impact.

Best food in Madrid by far - we booked this as our special dinner in advance for our trip. The…read moreservice was impeccable, the food was fresh, and the wine was excellent. A few reasons why I would only give 4 stars: 1. They allow smoking outside. I understand in Europe this is common, but for a restaurant at this caliber I do not understand why it is allowed. We had to move seats unfortunately - originally we had an awesome spot outside but the table next to us was heavily smoking and blowing the smoke into the outdoor fans which kept coming right at us. For a fancy and excellent dining experience I do not think that should be allowed. The outside is gorgeous but I won't be risking it and sitting out next time for that reason. 2. My full glass of wine was knocked over by the manager when they came to check on us at the end of our meal. They lifted the menus from the table and the full glass split all over my dad. They actually tried to charge me for the glass until my dad said something when we got the bill. He was drenched in red wine.

We got burrata, different pastas, and tiramisu that they make in front of you. This was truly an incredible experience. It is expensive but it's worth it for the experience and quality of food & drink. The service was impeccable too, they were super attentive and professional.

The risotto is delicious but the portion is small, the croquettes are the best I've had in Spain, the wings are ok, and the crispy chicken sandwich has more crispy than chicken but still tasty. Also, the tinto de verano is a mix from a jug not an in-house mix, which is a little disappointing. For a restaurant in Spain, they have a lot of seating both inside and outside. The atmosphere is classy but casual, and the service is always with a smile. Overall, a great place on Serrano for an afternoon tapa or meal. Enjoy.

I was there with a party of nine. We only had about an hour and 45 minutes because they were booked…read morethat night. We were there early (by Spanish standards) and they needed the table later. I had the meat platter with the potatoes and salad. The sausage was quite good and the steaks were all a little tough, but not terrible. The waiter seemed slightly aloof, slightly distracted, and not really in any hurry, even though we were warned that we were going to be on a time crunch. Our food didn't all come out at the same time, which makes it awkward for the person eating his pizza that *did* come out first. Of course we didn't want to make him wait, but it is never really professional in the restaurant industry to time it like that with a table, unless they specifically ask for something to come out first. The server either forgot or didn't bother to box up my leftovers. (I actually would have preferred to box them myself, but he whisked my plate away when I asked him.) Towards the end of the meal it got really loud in there. Terrible acoustics. The loud atmosphere is unpleasant and was starting to give me a headache. Very average dining experience. The photo of my meal looks better than it tasted. The venue is nicely decorated inside though.
