    Fantastic as ever in every way. Delicious gluten free and vegetarian options and they ask if you need “no contact” with anything with gluten in preparing the gluten free food. I’ve loved this place for decades and it is still popping!

    Amazing food! Not one bad thing on the menu. Our server was amazing and was so polite and professional. Ordered for 2 of us - Hamachi Crudo, oysters, and the Octopus to share. Also shared a lobster roll. The server was so nice and offered us a complimentary Cava with our desert. We ordered the sticky toffee pudding. Planning on coming back to try more from the menu!

    Ten out of Ten I’m a Chicago native I’ve been all over the steak house scene. This place is by far the best. The host Christos, is the most accommodating and professional he knows the business inside and out. The entire staff treats you like family. The food is excellent I highly recommend doing the tasting experience, make sure to add the Japanese flight waygu and the cotton candy foie gras.

    Everything about Little Madrid Tapas Cafe was perfect. Having spent many years in Spain, this place is the real deal. They have a fabulous selection of wine and a wide array of traditional tapas and pintxos from anchovies and croquetas to morcilla and queso de cabra. The service was perhaps my favorite part. Our waiter went above and beyond for us and our requests and was very attentive to our needs and experience while also giving us plenty of space to catch up without too many interruptions. This is a gem of a cafe that can serve as both a great date night spot or a place for a casual happy hour with friends or colleagues.
