   Ambiente General: restaurante temático que sorprende muy agradablemente. Servicio: Excelente cálido y ágil Comida: deliciosa , al igual que los cocktails Buena elección .. la música es parte de la ambientación.. a aquellos que vayan a hablar o entablar diálogos no se los recomiendo. Yo fui con las hijas de 20 y 21 años de edad y estaban felices.

   El lugar es agradable y buen ambiente . la comida no está mal . Solo que el servicio está muy desorganizado y no están pendiente de tus necesidades ya que cada trabajado a mi entender asume que ya alguien te atendió . Yo tuve que llamar a los camareros en 4 ocasiones para cada cosa que necesitaba y así y todo nadie se acerco a la mesa nunca para preguntar si estábamos bien o necesitábamos algo . Ojo no pidan bajo de ternera . Es solo grasa . Dinero perdido . Pidan entrecot mucho mejor calidad a pesar que cuenta un euro menos . Fue mi experiencia en este lugar . Sino fuera por el servicio le diera un 4. Quizás aún se están reajustando . Pero tuve que llamar a los camareros desde para pedir la orden hasta para pagar… ha y siéntate a esperar por la comida . Te dan dos horas para terminar y demoran una y media para traértela . Aunque como ya era tarde no nos levantaron de la mesa .

   You would expect a nice experience on Christmas Day? No! We waited one and a half hours for our cold meals. The shrimp with orzo was tasteless and cold! Plus we never received our burrata salad, tho they tried to charge for it! The manager, woman, was extremely rude when I questioned being charged for 4 waters, but the 4 waters were tap and not premium. I will be disputing this nightmare with my cc.

   Appetizers were very good. Steak was overcooked. We ordered shortly after being seated at 8pm and did not get entrees until 945pm

   Restaurant Review Dining at this restaurant on Christmas Day came with its own set of highs and lows. To start, the decision to remain open on a major holiday deserves commendation, as it provided an option for those seeking a festive meal out. The entrees were delightful—both the empanadas and soups (beef and onion) were flavorful and well-prepared. The bread basket and butter selections also stood out as a strong introduction to the meal. Unfortunately, the experience began to falter with the main dishes. The spicy vodka sauce pasta, while tasty, lacked the promised spiciness and did not meet the elevated expectations of a high-end establishment. The filet, sadly, was overcooked, resulting in a rubbery texture that diminished the overall enjoyment. Due to the long wait—over 90 minutes between the entrees and main course—we opted not to send it back. Desserts were adequate but unremarkable, lacking the creativity one would anticipate at this price point. In contrast, the cocktails were exceptional, showcasing a level of craftsmanship that elevated the experience. Service was a mixed bag. Our waitress, a gracious and attentive professional from Ecuador, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, apologizing for the delays caused by the evident short staffing. Her efforts were a highlight of the evening. Live entertainment, provided by a talented Spanish guitarist, added charm, but his brief performance of only two songs felt underwhelming. The restaurant has great potential with its ambiance and promising menu, but it fell short of expectations due to execution issues, likely compounded by the holiday rush. While prices were on the higher side for Spain, the overall experience did not consistently align with the premium cost. Perhaps a visit on a less hectic day would yield a more polished dining experience.

   Great atmosphere! Food was very good-beef empanadas-yummy. Mixed drinks were excellent and lovely presentation. Our family of 10 enjoyed Christmas Dinner together and the experience was perfect!

   Since we arrived it was an issue with the time on the table Finally we decide to go to the bar to avoid the stress of eating with the time very restricted

    We got an early seating for 5:30pm for a last minute reservation for Christmas Eve dinner. Thankful that they are open for Christmas Eve!! Although service was very slow… Maybe because it was a holiday but still the staff were courteous and friendly… The food is delicious! The tomahawk was grand presentation. It was all in all pleasant Christmas Eve dinner.
