Solomia (filet mignon) & Entricot (prime rib) for dinner. House made tiramisu for dessert ... impeccable quality cuts of meat cooked and seasoned with perfect execution. Staff also highly attentive. Even though we only have a few days in Madrid we will probably return to this location again before the end of our stay.

As I look at other people's food, everything looks so good! Had to wait a little bit for a table but the waiter was super nice. You can also order at the bar if you want. Pretty decent bar decor? A little nicer than the places that I usually frequent! lol

I also could not resist the cheesecake, which was freshly made. The pork was good and included a generous helping of meat. The cheesecake was outstanding, an unexpected bonus. The restaurant was lively with locals. Service was slower but more relaxing. This cafe was a find.

I am judicious with five-star ratings. This place was perfect for a Gringo's last dinner in Spain…read moreafter a bacchanalian, meat-filled romp through Iberia. The menu features some MASSIVE salads, each one enough for two hungry Gringos. The service was impeccible, even by North American standards.

This restaurant was yet again another spectacular dining experience. The ambiance is modern with an…read moreindoor / outdoor seating arrangement. If you have kids, they can go play in the playground in back. They have menus in English if you need it. The service is spectacular. We started with the octopus fiera, which was thinly sliced octopus seasoned and bathed in butter. It was outstanding, cooked right, not chewy. We had some empanadas fish and meat. They were both good, our daughter loved them. We also had a plate with steak, fries, and eggs. Sorry I do not know the name of the dish, but it was great. The meat was tender and seasoned well, the fries were a little oily for my taste, but the egg brought it all together. We finished with the French toast dessert. It was not bread as much as it seemed like a custard with a sugar topping, it reminded me somewhat of a creme brulee . Either way, it was divine. Great food, great venue, great service. This place is worth a visit.

Located just outside of Puerta de Sol. This is a great place to enjoy Espana tapas and a drink!…read more The tapa portions are very large: the small size anchovies, contains two pieces of bread with 5 white anchovy fillets, diced onions, green olives, drizzled with olive oil. For a savory entree, I recommend the oxtail stew: 10 pieces of delectable oxtails in a brown gravy sauce. This tasted more like a beef pot roast, rather than a tomato style gravy. The oxtails are paired with thick cut fries.

Very family kitchen feel with the tiles, wood, and decorations. Food was good with large portions, the service was quick and very friendly. We like the homey feel of the place and it really feels like this restaurant had been around for ages. Would say the paella to avoid, it wasn't as good as the ones we had gotten from Seville. Most of the tapas were more carb heavy than balanced we've experienced so far in our trip. Recommend here if you're looking to be fed at an affordable price and quickly seated, but it isn't a place to go out of your way for.

Our faves: * Ropa Vieja - my son's fave - he almost didn't share this cuban style shredded beef * Bacalao confitado - creamy and decadent * Prawn Risotto - yummmm * Pimientos de Padron - mild and reminds me of shishito peppers * Pulpo a la plancha - Grilled octopus Next time I plan to try the Paella de Mariscos...

The tinto was perfection and refreshing. We scored 3 rounds out of the pitcher so if you're dining with a group, that sounds like a great choice. The veggies were seasoned well with a vinaigrette type sauce. Loved it. Variety of cheeses with jam on the platter. It honestly filled us up with nice portion sizes and we left with complimentary shots. Super smooth and it seemed like chocolate but more milky like horchata? They take reservations I believe. It's recommended on a busy day especially weekends because they get quite busy. We sat at the bar.
