La camarera que la reemplazó nos ignoró, probablemente porque éramos estadounidenses. Fuimos educados e intentamos hablar español. Ella fue grosera. Es una lástima que un lugar tan agradable con buena comida se convierta en un sitio al que no queremos volver debido a la discriminación y la ignorancia.

All very nice. I got. Three wines by the glass, two white and one red and we focused on local specialties. I think we had like 8 items. Forgot to take pictures of a few of them. We arrived at the frightfully early time of 8pm and so the first 30 minutes or so we were alone. Staff was great and explained the food, in English. All dishes were truly unique and i think the menu changes often as the web site is not up to date. It's is about 10 minutes walk from our JW Marriott. Nice atmosphere with kind of 70s and 80s music at low volume. Bill Joel, Eagles and some other such. But gain, the food was special and great.

After spending several hours at the Reina Sofia, Jamie W and I were feeling quite peckish and…read morerather indecisive about where to have lunch. We guessed many options around the Prado area might be tourist traps. Fortunately, this didn't appear to be one of them as it's a taberna that attracts local regulars as well as tourists like us. The manager/owner looked to know quite a few customers. It was pretty busy, so we were seated at a hi-top table in the bar area next to other non-Spanish, English-speaking customers. There were many small-to-medium tapa plates to consider in their menu. We weren't looking to stuff ourselves, so we ordered the 6,9€ half-order of Chiporones à la Plancha, which was grilled baby squids nestled on a mixed salad drizzled with balsamic (Photo 10). Our second dish was the 6,1€ half-order of Parrillada Verdu. It was a simple but satisfying grilled vegetable platter of sliced tomato,, onion, and root veggies (Photo 9). The last dish we ordered was an unexpected taste of home, the 9,9€ Ensalada Cesar. The reason for the higher price point was the addition of chicken and bacon to the lettuce, tomato, cheese, croutons, and Caesar dressing (Photo 8). The combination was pretty hearty and familiar-tasting. Even though we probably ate enough for a mid-afternoon meal, I couldn't help but inquire about the availability of grilled octopus (pulpo) because we saw it look quite tempting on a neighboring table. It was just as well that they were out because we didn't have room in our bellies for that. Our tapas selection was just fine all on its own. FOOD - 4 stars...skilled execution of familiar tapas, pretty tasty AMBIANCE - 4 stars...compact but cozy taberna, crowds quickly at lunch SERVICE - 3.5 stars..,efficient though a tad brusque because it was busy TOTAL - 4 stars...a serious dining option close to the museums RELATED - Exploring Madrid?

Outstanding food and service! Posada de la Villa is committed to traditional "old Madrid" cuisine…read morewith elevated service to match the historic surroundings. I was nervous that a meal here would be too meat-focused, but they proved me wrong. There were several vegetable options as well and they were cooked and served with respect. Great wine list, too. The roasted lamb is all it's cracked up to be, and totally worth it. If you have a larger group, get one order (that "serves two"). There's plenty to go around! And I can't say enough good things about the service!

My group shared the croquetas de jamón for appetizer and we shared a seafood paella and a chicken paella and there was enough left over to feed a 5th person.

There were plenty of places to pick from in downtown madrid, but some restaurants were closed, and others were not offering it that early for dinner. sidenote: i find it weird that spanish people eat dinner so late!!!! anyways, we started the meal off with a meat and cheese plate and got the seafood paella. they also gave us bread along with tomato paste. honestly the tomato paste was very very simple and reminded me of salsa...lol. the food portions are huge! make sure you come here with a very hungry stomach or multiple people. paella actually comes with 4 different options: seafood, chicken, mixed or something else. and for 10 bucks, you really cant go wrong with whatever you choose. The one thing i would comment on the paella is that it wasn't as flavorful as i imagined... but really can't complain for the price i paid. the service is very quick, and the person who was taking my order spoke english and was really helpful.

The food was good, but i have to say that it was a bit underwhelming. Good dishes and presentation but lacked, in my opinion, that little extra that you expect with a high-priced menu such as theirs. Let's say itwas OK. Service was good and attentive, but not sure if I would recommend it or return here.
