Actually, we arrived pretty late so it was the only restaurant that was open. Location: Madrid, Spain. That's all I know. Lol. Service: I do have to say that the service was exceptionally accommodating. Being that this was the first restaurant we ate at in Spain, Chacabuco II literally set the standard for the rest of our dining experiences throughout. This place did not disappoint. When we got there, the host quickly realized we were American and found us an English speaking waitress. That in itself is one star. We were seated in a corner tucked away from everyone surrounded by only a few couples. Two stars for making things romantic! I ordered some cava expecting a glass for the price listed, and I got a whole bottle. Three stars! We felt very well served and this made the experience that much better. Food: The food! So good! So fresh. I ate this huge steak which was bigger than my head (and I have a huge head, lol). My wife had an octopus dish which was tender and delicious. I pretty much loaded up on cava so the rest of the night was a blur, but I do remember the food, and it was GOOD! Final Thoughts: Because this was the first restaurant I've ever been to in Spain, I am a bit bias. However, because of great service and wonderful, even if it was the 80th restaurant I visited, it would have stood out from the rest. If I am ever back in this area of Madrid, I would definitely make it a point to visit.

Qiute frankly, a culinary delight. Taste, presentation, options and price (why it gets five stars)…read more A lovely setting in a true neighborhood environment- few tourists here which is precisely the point. They recognized us as english speaking early on and brought a full translated menu. 2 appetizers, 5 entrees, 2 desserts, 5 beers and a bottle of wine = 156 Euros!! Wonderfully appointed with presentation that made you gasp. Kids (21, 19, 17) said best meal they have ever had. Ranked high for mom n dad as well. If your up for the extra drive, well worth it!!

Terrible experience... I actually found a black human hair in my salad (on the tomato) and was…read moreasked to pay full price for the meal. I was not offered a discount or anything to make-up for finding the hair. When I asked why I had to pay for the salad with the hair they said that in Spain they do not give anything for free! I found that unacceptable. If you want to find hair in your food, and be forced to pay full price for it, then this is the place for you! Terrible experiencia... Encontre un pelo negro (y yo soy rubia) en mi ensalada, concretamente en un tomate. Cuando llego el momento de pagar me hicieron pagar el plato completo. No me ofrecieron ni un descuento por ese plato ni ninguna otra cosa por compensar por el incidente. Cuando le pregunte al camarero me comento que "en España no se regala nada". Inaceptable. Si quieres encontrar pelos en tu comida y encima tener que pagar por ello, este es el lugar para ti. RESPUESTA AL COMENTARIO DEL RESTAURANTE Acabo de ver tu respuesta a mi comentario y te agradezco tus disculpas. No obstante, quiero que sepas que tu encargado nunca me ofrecio otra ensalada y tampoco le dije que no tuviera hambre. De hecho, me tome el postre cuando se llevo la ensalada con el pelo (era melon). En fin, nada mas queria comentarte esto porque si hubiera ocurrido como te dijo el encargado no hubiera puesto la queja por internet.
