A bit of a splurge but worth it when in Madrid and in the mood for a steak. Located a few blocks…read moreeast of Puerta del Sol, it's nice because there are no hordes of people you have to navigate to find it. This is a place for people who appreciate their food and the experience, not for the tourist masses that are looking to get fed quick and cheap. It is an interesting set up as they have dining rooms on both sides of the street. I was in the one on the east side of the street and taken downstairs into the basement which has the looks of a refurbished ancient cellar. I had a 2 top in the corner to myself with a great view of the room so I could appreciate what everyone else was eating. I had a very civilized time. Frenetic Tapas this is not. There are white linen tablecloths present, a small container of housemade chimichurri, menus on line, great wi-fi service, a full bar and wine list, and menus that are bovine centric. I had an Argentine Negroni (the Argentine nod is due to a splash of Fernet Branca giving it a slight minty taste on the back end) and a glass of affordable, high ranking Tempranillo. These were perfect with the olive and bread starters with EVOO/Spanish vinegar on the table to mix to taste and also served with compounded butter. I was there to eat and the Mollejas (veal sweetbreads) are a must in my opinion. They are listed as a house specialty and come on a charcoal heated sizzle plate served with a side of broad flaked sea salt to finish to taste. Crispy edges and creamy textures throughout with a hit of grilled lemon and they were simply sublime. I also took down an Entraña (skirt steak) that seemed larger than its described 300 grams. Also served on a sizzle plate it was perfectly cooked by some expert grill guys upstairs. To ensure that I ate something with color, I had a salad on the side that I dressed to taste with the EVOO/Spanish vinegar on the table. The service here is friendly, professional, and not overbearing. My meal was about $85 USD which is pricey by typical Madrid eating standards but it was worth it considering the quality, quantity, and variety of what I experienced. I would be happy to go back here again any time I'm in the area!

Absolutely incredible evening- I passed on the starters because I had my eye on main course and…read moresides.

Overall, I felt like there was a warm atmosphere here. We got eggplant sticks with honey, artichoke with salty ham, and croquettes. Not a bad bite to be found. I can't even pick a favorite; everything was outstanding. Definitely recommend this restaurant! We paid about $65 for everything, including what's mentioned above plus a glass of wine, bread, and olives.

Our 9-year old son wanted some American food while on vacation, so we decided to try Ribs after…read moreseeing it a few times riding the Metro. Place has a good Americana feel to it like a Chilis or TGI Fridays, but the decor was a bit everywhere. There were beer signs from European countries and Canada and numerous other signs and elements that didn't exactly fit in the "Original Texas Steakhouse" theme that's on the marquee. Also, we expected to hear country music or southern rock, but instead were treated to slow jams and duets from the 80s...not bad, but not what we were expecting. Haha. But alas, we didn't come here to line dance. We came here for the food and the beer. And this place does this adequately. Beer was cold & cheap and the hot wings actually hot. Ribs had good smokiness flavor from being flash grilled. That was the good. The bad is that the wings were dry, like it was cooked a long time ago. The burger was tasteless (worse than VIPS unfortunately) and the bun was dry and literally disintegrated. Also wished the ribs were fall of the bone tender, but it wasn't. Our son did enjoy his BBQ wings. Overall, food was mixed and service was average to above average...about what we expected.
