    Menu - The menu lists seafood dishes such as Spanish Calamari, Cornflake Breaded Scallops, Garlic Chili Shrimp, Catalan Scallops, Mussels a la Catalana, Salmon a la Plancha, Almond Crusted Cod, Seared Scallops, and Pulpo. Each dish includes a brief description and price, with some items marked for special preparation. The menu is printed on a white sheet with a black border, held at the bottom by a person's hand.

    Second time coming & it is again an amazing restaurant. Went with my wife & another couple. A massive paella, beef stew, & mussels all for just $70. Food was delicious. Everything with broth we almost wanted to drink just the broth.

    What a wonderful dining experience we had at Olde Madrid. What we look for when we dine is unique food, excellent presentation, and knowledgeable and friendly waitstaff. Olde Madrid had all of this. The Tapas we ordered were fire grilled vegetable salad, roasted chicken and cherries, and creamed salmon and capers. Each was well prepared and tasty. For dessert we had crème brûlée cheesecake and raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake. Delicious. Our waitress was relational and professional. I would suggest getting to this restaurant at 4:30 when it opens. We did, and it was full by 5 pm on Saturday night. We will be back. So many more tapas to try.

    Updating review and now providing only 3 stars. Reasoning below. Carry Out Orders: I haven't dined inside the restaurant in a while, but I've ordered carry out at least 3 times and each time there has been an issue. 1st time: my husband and I ordered a salmon paella (which includes shrimp per menu). We also ordered double portion of salmon. When my husband arrived with the food, there was only a single piece of salmon on top of tons of rice and no shrimp. With the double portion of salmon, our order was almost $50 so I was really upset to receive the order like that. I contacted the restaurant and they offered 2 extra pieces of salmon and a few shrimp but my husband had to go back out and pick it up. 2nd time: Restaurant was scheduled to be open so I called to place a carry out order and no one answered. I waited a few minutes and called again, then the person that answered stated that he had to go ask if he could accept my order because they were thinking of closing early. 3rd time: I placed a carry out order and when I arrived to pick it up, the restaurant still had an hour to be open. While paying for my food, the phone rang and one of the servers asked if he should answer it to which someone replied 'no, don't answer that- we're closed (mind you there was an hour left of business and they didn't even have the courtesy to answer and inform the patron.) Each time I order a paella. Have you seen the size of those things at this restaurant?! The protein to rice ratio is absolutely ridiculous. If you don't order extra protein (which comes with a surge in price), you will basically receive a $35 pan of rice with 3 pieces of meat. Not cool.

    Matadora and sangria. The sangria was ok, but I understand that after having sangria in Spain, I tend to compare.

    I would say the food is pretty good here. There is a wide selection of tapas to choose from. The service was great and the environment is good for families. The place is not big so the tables are very close. I wouldn't consider it perfect for a special ocassion like an anniversary for example. Overall, my wife and I liked the restaurant and would definitely come back.

    Service was good. Restaurant was not busy in the evening for dinner. Love the seafood bisque soup a definite must to get!! Catfish was very good very flaky and you receive three pieces. The tapas plates were bigger than usual. The bullfighter skewers were very, very good very tender. Parking was street parking only with pay meters. Would assume this restaurant gets busy since dining area was small..

    It has been four long years since we'd last had paella from Olde Madrid. The restaurant is still relaxing, warm and has good service. For apps we ordered the Bullfighter Beef Skewers and the Champinones a La Espanola. The skewers came out quickly and we LOVED them; they were so flavorful and the beef was really tender and juicy. We thought it was pretty weird that the mushrooms came out next with the marisco traditional paella, especially when the menu says it will take at least 25 minutes for the paella to simmer. The mushrooms were as tasty as we remembered them. The paella, not so much. Because it didn't simmer long enough, there wasn't much depth of flavor and it had liquid at the bottom so it definitely didn't have the yummy soccarat that every paella fiend adores. The shrimp and cod were good, the scallops hadn't been seared at all, the calamari was fishy, two of the mussels did not open and therefore shouldn't have even been placed on top of the paella, and there wasn't one ounce of octopus in the entire dish. If this were my first visit I would give it three stars, due to the myriad of issues listed above, plus there were only three other tables with patrons at them when we ordered so there was no reason for the kitchen to feel in a rush. Perhaps it was just an off day for the chef, or a new chef??

    Food, glorious food!

    We waited over an hour and still had taken a table. The place is totally disorganized, the hostess looked completely lost and other customers were frustrated and left as well. What happened to this place? It was great the last time we was here. INVEST IN A RESERVATION SYSTEM!!!!

    Carne Empanadas

    Our server Lucy was very attentive, nice, and funny. From the moment you walk into the restaurant it smells so good. The drinks are very tasty with the perfect amount of alcohol. The empanadas were homemade and the best I have ever had! The paella and potatoes were very flavorful with a perfect spice

    First time here and it was phenomenal! I was seated right away and didn't have any issues with parking. As I got there a little before my friend, I was able to watch them take delicious food to tables and turn them over pretty quickly. We ordered the garlic chili shrimp, goat cheese marinara dip and the matador paella. The food comes out when it's ready so we weren't really waiting long for anything. Everything was great and I was excited to have leftovers. They even packed them up for us. Great service and lovely time. Can't wait togo back and try more!!

    First of all, I could not make reservations because apparently they don't take it for less parties…read moreof four people. So we came here on a random Friday night to test our luck to get a table at 7 o'clock for two people. We got lucky and got to sit inside because that's where we wanted to sit although they do have sidewalk or outdoor seating as well. I thought sitting inside would be cooler, but I was wrong as all the doors and windows were open and I don't believe the AC was on at all. Well, the menu is pretty extensive. I will say that a vegetarian could definitely eat here as well as anyone else. This is our first visit here and as you can tell from the photos ordered quite a bit of food. And typical top of style the portions are pretty small, but they are meant to be shared. It was actually too much food for two people who were already hungry. Some of the standouts were definitely the meatballs and the salad salads. The jamon iberico was absolutely incredible. Not pictured was the picture of sangria we ordered. We got the rosé and to be quite honest with all of the heat. It actually watered down way too quickly. And it also came in a plastic picture, which was a bit of a turn off. The shrimp with garlic was good, but the garlic was hard to taste because it was also covered or doused in a lot of tomato base or tomato sauce. I was really looking forward to a very clear buttery or olive oil sauce that was saturated with garlic. The mushrooms were OK as well, but again too much tomato in this dish that I'm not used to. The potatoes were also very tasty and well seasoned, and the sauce on it was just right. I think this is a good option for people who want top us in the suburbs however, I will say that I hope they do some tweaking to the recipes as well so that they have something that truly makes them stand out and unique.

We were delighted to learn about how they got their name and a little history about Greendale and Eleanor Roosevelt in the back of the menu. The space transforms a little for dinner, lower lighting for more ambiance dining. The menu has a good amount of options and the specials sounded delicious! I love that they start you out with an amuse bouche, it really elevates the experience. I went with the Peach & Herb Salad with chicken and my husband got the Short rib Bolognese. We both really enjoyed our dishes but sadly didn't save any room for dessert. Next time! Depending on when you go, downtown Greendale can get pretty busy, which makes parking challenging. There are a variety of shops and restaurants nearby, so it is a popular date night spot.

    Date of visit: April 18, 2026…read more A group of us try to get together every few months since we don't work together any more and this time around I picked The Eleanor Room. I so rarely get to Greendale (honestly, can't say that I had ever been to anywhere in the village besides the mall) and I liked that we could make a reservation, making it a nice change of pace. The decor is lovely, very Art Deco, a nod to Eleanor Roosevelt, the namesake of the restaurant. I was very pleasantly surprised at how wonderful the interior was given that the exterior is essentially a strip mall. What's that old saying about books and their covers? Service was great, both attentive and timely, and everyone very much enjoyed their food. Monte Cristo is one of my favorites and this one was done very well. My coffee was also good and she kept it coming, which I also appreciated. Really the only sour note in the entire experience was being asked to vacate the table. While it was not handled terribly poorly, I would have recommended they offer us something to shift to the bar to not end the meal on a less than positive note, but that's just me.

The Odd Duck was where my friend and I grabbed dinner one night. Street parking. I didn't buy a lottery ticket but lucked out and found a spot across the street. Didn't have to do laps or pay. Always a good start when going out anywhere. Place was busy. No reservation. However, the luck continued as a table opened up in the bar area - window seating to boot. And though busy, service was attentive, friendly and great. Food was great! See pics. There wasn't a dish I didn't like and I can say that I'd definitely order the same line up again. Though I'd definitely like to try other menu items. It wasn't just about presentation - ingredients, flavors all just hit the spot. These are tapas size dishes so I could have eaten everything myself. Know that so you order accordingly. If you're looking for a cool, fun spot with good food and drinks, make a reservation and head over. If I lived in the area, this would definitely be a spot I'd regularly hang out at.
