My boyfriend and I very elementarily explained to the waiter that we trusted his judgment and to give us something he likes to eat. He asked if we liked seafood and said there's a plate where we can share some fish and some salad. Okay, sounds good. Homeboy did not fail us. After some delicious Portuguese wine a giant platter comes out with so much seafood. I was thinking a couple of filets of fish, not a huge seafood platter with different pieces of fish (swordfish, salmon, and a white fish that was so good but due to the language barrier will now always be a mystery fish), shrimps, clams, squid, octopus, potatoes and so much more. The photo really doesn't do it justice. It just looks like a giant mess, but I assure you it was one of our best meals on the entire 2 week trip and one we still talk about often. And yes, we got a little plate of salad before the platter came out. It was so much food and definitely a clean protein meal. Loved it and loved this place!

We were seated immediately, although if you are arriving with a big group I would recommend making a reservation in advance. In the entree, we ordered Tapas which was great. It came with a few different kinds of fish, roasted veggies and bread and aioli. Then for the mains, I ordered a salmon dish that was cooked to perfection. The side veggies were also very well roasted and flavorful with a generous amount of oil. And finally, for the dessert, we had the "pajama party" which was decent. Great place and good service. I would highly recommend!

No problem, they gave us a smaller table to wait at, but then never came back to get our drink order. We waited there for 20 minutes before we could get someone to help us.

What we ordered: Esporao white wine, dry Tapas fried anchovies boquerones Mokfish Cataplana The atmosphere of the place is definitely laid back and chill. You should budget st least 2+ hours for a dinner there. You don't want to rush and it is not a place you would like to do that either. The staff is very patient and friendly. We had the dish and wine as a recommendation and they left us the time to discuss the options. We got complimentary baguette style bread with aioli which was absolutely amazing, we had to slow down in order to not overeat. The wine was on spot and we had it almost all done by the time the main arrived. Unfortunately that took a little longer but like I said this is laid back and not for the rushed type. The anchovies were absolutely great. They were spot on, crispy without being dry and served with just a lemon to squeeze over everything. The main was a little disappointing. While all was good, it just was not great. We essentially got soup which we didn't expect. The fish however was great quality and so were all the other ingredients. I think our expectations and what we got just didn't align in this one. The price was okay, maybe a little high. We had a 35 EUR wine and paid a little over 75 EUR. So, it was okay, but since we shared on main, I feel this was on the higher end. All in all, I would say bring time and stick to the Tapas and you and your company are in for a great dinner experience! For us, we miscalculated our time and had to rush out after the main to make it to the classic concert we had bought tickets for the previous day. So, we just couldn't lavish in the atmosphere and take time with everything. Also, I planned on proposing to my girlfriend/dinnerpartner that night so I was kind of antsy I would say. But that's not the restaurant's fault. Also, she said yes!!!

Good flavors surly waitstaff... After spending an exhausting…read moreday wandering through Berlin (in 98 degree heat) my husband and I went looking for dinner. Just down the street from our hotel we found Toro Negro. At first blush this looked like a very good place. The cuisine is Spanish/Portuguese tapas variety- full of savory spicings, paella and much more. The maitre'd spoke some English and got us seated right away in the sidewalk dining area. He gave us menus and brought some bottled water. The menu was full of enticing offerings. The prices very reasonable. We thought we were in for a treat. The waiter came round and took our order for drinks. We ordered beer which arrived barely cooled- not cold. The waiter had about 4 other tables, which were also being mostly ignored. The maitre'd stood chatting with some friends and some other fellow kept walking in and out of the restaurant and wandering the street as if he was waiting for something. We sat with the closed menues in front of us for about 15 minutes, finally the waiter returned to take our order. We ordered our food, I chose an Andalusian chicken dish, my husband chose a paella. The waiter told him it would be 40 minutes for the paella to cook. OK, not a problem, we just chilled and drank our beer. After about 30 minutes the waiter brought some bread rolls and a garlic spread which was delicious, about 10 munites later our food arrived. my chicken was excellently prepared and the sauce was very savory and enjoyable. It was served with seasoned rice. All excellent in my opinion. My husband's paella was undercooked. Specifically the rice was under-done, and he's a person that enjoys al-dente rice. Otherwise he enjoyed the seafood. We finished our meal at about 9:15, and the temperature was still very hot. I was feeling exhausted from the heat and walking around, so I only finished half of my food. My husband had some left overs too, so we thought we'd take them back to the room for lunch next day. The waiter had been dealing with a couple sat behind us, and apparently they didn't like one of the pizzas he had brought. When he returned to the kitchen my husband asked for a box, and the waiter made a shoving motion at him as if to say, "I don't care what the hell you want right now". I understand how frustrating it can be when a customer is difficult- but that was not us... Up to this point we had sat through a rather long, drawn-out dinner without a thought to complaint. Then the maitre'd rushed to our table an set down some shots of grappa, I said no thank you that I was too hot and tired but I guess he interpreted that to mean I was displeased. We asked if we could get the leftovers packed for take away, but he just hurriedly stacked one plate on top of the other and took them away. I saw the waiter leave in his street clothes, and I understood the frustration of the maitre'd. However I didn't feel that their frustration should be taken out on us. We had been polite and patient guests for our entire meal- and then suddenly treated as an annoyance. The next morning my husband was sick, and I'm guessing that it was the under cooked rice to blame. I would recommend this restaurant only with a very pronounced caveat emptor.
