Carnivores paradise!…read more However whilst I am a meat-eater I'm marking this place as lower on the lack to greenery and veggie options. The place itself is amazing, wall lined with pictures of matadors - maybe that should have given the game away - velvet drapery and dripping age and class. The marble bar downstairs is well manned with very posh looking staff (who were very attentive), however we sat in the restaurant upstairs. We ordered the mixed salad, steak (rare), duck and a bottle of house red (Rioja). The salad came but was covered in tinned Tuna (if you didn't know this is how Spanish mixed salad will come), and was very nice, however the greenery stopped there. The steak and duck both came with thick cut fries only, and both took up the majority of the plate. Whilst the steak melted in the mouth and the duck was explosive with flavour, having a whole plate, penetrated only briefly with the taste of carbohydrate, isn't my idea of a great meal. I do like variety, where the portion size left room for little else and we both felt sick, heavy and the meal was far too meat heavy. For desert we opted for the figs with brandy, which contained enough alcohol to strip a small painted table... but which was delicious, and coffee to help us brave the waddle back to the hotel. The red wine was very good, and the meal was finished with a schnapps, provide compliments of the house. A rich meal, which I think would have been better with more thoughtful ordering (i.e. asking for a less meat heavy option to share with a meat plate), or having the salad with the main. This was reasonably, but on the higher end of the spectrum for Spanish prices.

The steak I received was like a starter. And if you are waiting for an hour you are getting even more hungry. Another minus point was the service. The waitresses did everything but they were lost due to the full restaurant. Forgot to bring wine, water and olives. Left the restaurant hungry and thirsty.

I ordered the risotto and it came out with in five minutes. It was luke warm so not sure when it was made and how long it was sitting in a hot holding pan. Waitress spoke very little English so it was a bit difficult to order. they also didn't have the traditional tapas we were ordering in Madrid and Barcelona so we were unfamiliar with many of the dishes. We believe they didn't bring my sister in laws dish correctly. My father in laws dish was the most flavorful. If you do end up going here I would say to order the Cerda con papas. Although I believe cerda means pork it was a slow roasted beef with a brown gravy sauce over potatoes. The beef was moist and the sauce was delicious. Note: they do charge for the bread you eat on the table. We decided to pass on dessert. They were a little overwhelmed with the amount of people that were in the restaurant with only two waitresses. My suggestion would be to try another spot or keep your expectations low.

Where do I begin? Let's talk about the ambience. To call this place rustic would probably capture…read moreit best, it's really probably more like a cafeteria or a school room at a very old school. Tables perhaps a bit close together, not terribly comfortable. Loud, busy. As far as the service, it was our impression that our waiter was the only person serving the 30 or so tables in their dining room. Suffice it to say the service was not fast and not good. Inexplicably, every time we ordered a Coke we were asked if we wanted a Coke Zero. If I wanted a Coke Zero I would have said the words Coke Zero. Even when I asked for another Coke, he again asked "Coke Zero?" It took next to forever to get the check, and forever to get a cappuccino. At one point I took it upon myself to point the waiter to a table behind us that had been desperately attempting to get his attention. This was all not good. As to the food. First, our fault for not knowing what tataki meant. We did not expect to receive salmon that was seared on the outside and raw on the inside. So that one is on us, although we also think the meal came tepid at best. The lamb on couscous was dry and tough. The pork cheek stew was actually pretty good if a bit gluey. The calamari was good. The sushi as they called it was average. What they called the tiramisu was more like a pudding with some liqueur and chocolate on the top, and a little bit of breadish stuff in the bottom. Not my idea of tiramisu, and probably not yours either. So we could not get too excited about these various dishes. But what was particularly frustrating and bizarre was that two people sitting across from us ordered food that looked absolutely delicious. So we got to sit there wondering why we didn't order what they ordered. They ordered a large beef dish with potatoes which is on the menu, and we think they ordered a large octopus meal although we are not sure. Everything they had looked better than anything we had. So it may be that we somehow just picked the wrong items. So it was a strangely frustrating meal. This place has good reviews and we expected good tasting food. Unfortunately it did not work out that way, and the ambience and service were negative contributing factors. I can't entirely write this place off, only because the food other diners received actually looked very good. But I don't think I would go there again.

The service was good. However, they sold a Sauvignon Blanc that was only 30% Sauvignon Blanc, and…read more70% of another, more intense, varietal that had been aged in wood barrels. Obviously a different taste than expected. I ordered the wok salmon, the chef depended way too much on some version of soy sauce.

I couldn't eat all my food so all that was left, was for me to leave it. Not happy!

If that's our measure, then Alwadi is legit. Chatted with several people in French while watching them switch to Arabic with the waiters. Legit. The decor was chill and relaxing. Rule #1: if you go to a Moroccan restaurant and don't order mint tea, you will be labeled a neophyte. Rule #2: Tajin (or tagine) is the way to go... always. I ordered the lamb skewer, and it was very nice. A little chewy, but with good flavor. The Mrs. ordered the lamb tajin, and it was INSANE! So amazingly tender and delicious. Order this if you like lamb, and you will not be disappointed. The third order was the minced beef skewer (Koufta Hallapi), which was a little dry, but that's a hard battle considering how lean ground beef is in much of Europe. We closed with the Kunafe Arabe (pictured), which was pretty yummo and not too sweet. It really hit the spot. If I'm coming back, it's tajin for me, 100%.
