   Food and flavours not as good as tapas can be. Expected better from a Michelin guide. They were helpful in finding us a different table but there were random small flies flying around our heads at our table which took away from the experience.

   Music was too loud for a dinner setting. Food was good and wine selection was very interesting. Service was also very kind.

   Beautiful venue, love the ambience. Food was disappointing - it was bland and just not very tasty.

   The food was not good, the service was slow even though it was not busy, and during the Christmas market, the entrance was fully blocked. My boyfriend and I went because it’s on the Michelin guide and it had great reviews but were extremely disappointed.

   The beginning of my groups experience at Madrina Bar y Tapas had a glitch (which was our reservation mistake), we had 1 extra person in our party and the restaurant was full to capacity (first weekend of Winter Village, Taylor Swift was in town and the Leafs had a home game) so fire regulations restricted their ability to add a chair to the table and after seeing their stunning interior, I absolutely agree that a chair was not an option! The staff bent over backwards to accommodate us, and allowed the smaller group to sit and have cocktails while waiting for a larger table to become available. The patio bar staff were exceptionally compassionate and the table service was remarkably. Of the 19 or 20 dishes that were ordered, we found that there were a couple that lack lustre. The TORTILLA DE PATATAS were under cooked, the outer edges were to perfection, the interiors were too moist making it quite a mushy texture, neither one was eaten fully. We found the PA AMB TOMÀQUET to be on the bland side, our personal preferences are for strong flavours which we found in all the other dishes offered. The cocktails were incredible and the ambiance of the restaurant is spectacular.
