    Wow the food is amazing. I have the Rib-Eye steak. Wonderful flavors. Our Waiters was Diana and she was very attentive. Madrid is on the side street on the ocean side about a 1/2 block form the corner of Papas & Beers If your looking for a 5 star dining experience in the heart the the tourist are "The Red Zone". This is the spot. Enjoy and tell the Diego sent you.

    Does this place exists? I used the gps walking to it and did not find it. I was really looking forward to some tapas

    The first time I ate here was good. Delicious. The second time was terrible. The food was cold and the portions were small and bland.

    Tour de Tapas - Charcuterie plate

    Tour de Tapas

    We tried Tour de Tapas for the first time, and it was such a great experience! We were planning to…read moreeat at a nearby restaurant but saw this one. We took one look at the menu and knew we needed to try it! The service was wonderful! We sat at the bar and the gentleman that served us was friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we sat down. The place itself was very clean and had a really nice atmosphere. The food was delicious, especially the patatas bravas, which were flavorful and perfectly cooked. I also tried both types of sangria, and they were delicious....refreshing, well-balanced, and definitely worth ordering again! Overall, it was a fantastic meal from start to finish. We're already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu! I MUST try the paella next time!!!!

    Great food, great service. Because of its location, parking can be tough. I met a guy for a…read morebusiness mtg and brought my son. Why -2 star has been a debate in my head ever since that day. Everything started great, they even had my favorite beer Schmidtwick's. The food was delish and presented well. Our server was attentive and kind. The place was neat and clean, great for a mtg... The general manager came over and chitchatted with our table. I was the one who called the meeting, I chose the place via Yelp reviews. However, when the GM found out it was all three of our first time he proceeded to hand out his card. The guy that met me there was handed one, then my son who lives in Irvine was handed one. However, when I reached my hand out, he hesitated. I told him we don't live together (speaking of my son who was sitting next to me) and he started to hand it to me, but then pulled it back. He informed me it's in case we come back... funny, our topic of conversation that day was how hard it was for women growing up in my era and working their way up the ladder... how times have changed. Upon leaving, my guest laughed and said his wife would've gone ballistic at how the only woman at the table was treated. The GM appeared to look like we were the same age. I was quite insulted by his behavior. I hope something can be learned for my honest review. I did get a card, but I don't think I'll be back.

    Visited this place with my wife. Divas Kitchen is actually inside Negociant at Hillcrest Urban…read moreWinery. When we entered the owner Chef Misha Moore was actually standing by the door welcoming customers. On our turn to sit down, she showed us the Menu and explained that their menu is still limited but probably by mid-November they will have their Full menu ready. To order food we were directed to the Bar to place our order and pay there and our food got delivered to the table. My wife ordered Moscow Mule for her drink and a Charcuterie Box, it has Prosciutto, salami , aged cheddar, triple cream brie/berry jam , fresh berries, grapes, olives, nuts, and crackers. For my food, I tried their Italian Meatballs with a side of toasted bread . We also had Dragon Rolls , its deep fried beef rolls served with homemade sweet chilli lime sauce , this Dragon rolls were crispy and good . Good size of Charcuterie box. The meatballs are well seasoned and decent size of meatballs, I like that the Marinara on their meatballs only has a slight sourness. Also when we started eating, they started a Trivia game so that was nice. Good music, a nice vibe, and delicious food and nice staff

Everything was spot on and my taste buds were thrilled. The atmosphere is very cozy and friendly. The staff very attentive. And the music was outstanding. If you're not familiar with Andy Anderson and Nathan Fry, you've got a treat in store. It was a great time and a fun night!!!!

    Needed some adventure and I've been missing Spain, so I leashed up my pup and headed to Little…read moreItaly. It's about as close to Madrid (other than Balboa Park) as you're going to get in the county of San Diego...especially if you sit down at Barra Oliba. I literally felt like I was in a café in Madrid or Barcelona and enjoyed not only the familiar salty flavors that I've missed from Spain, but also the pure, rich, olive oil, and quiet ambiance as this is one block from the busiest part of Little Italy. My server, German, (his name) enjoyed helping me create the ideal light supper and allowed me to try a few Spanish wines (they have so many!). I settled on a Verdejo from Rueda. It was the right balance of fruit, acid, and slight floral to perfectly pair to my meal. I had the seasonal fish meuniere - white fish delicious and crispy on top (my favorite), garnished with capers and roe. It was accompanied with a tender lettuce and heirloom tomato salad with saffron dressing. The leftover dressing for the salad was the most amazing vinegar dip for a couple tater tots when I got home. The dressing was something I will go back for! Thank you, Barra Oliba for the perfect Spanish "girl dinner!" Can't wait to come back and try the Paella!

    Went here for the first time with my date this past weekend 4/25. We had a reservation but chose to…read moresit at the bar since there were two great seats available. The night started off really well. The gentleman at the front greeted us, and we instantly connected since we're both from Guadalajara. It felt like the experience was going in a great direction. At the bar, things changed. The bartender was friendly toward me but not toward my Middle Eastern date, which made things uncomfortable. When taking our order, he stayed in the middle of the bar while opening a wine bottle instead of coming over, so we could hear him. When my date asked him to come closer, he seemed visibly annoyed. The food, though, was amazing--delicious and great quality. We'll give it another try, but next time we won't sit at the bar.
