10/10This is a special restaurant. We sat in the Market section and it was very charming to be among the quality products on the shelves. We had the T-bone steak for two and it was really something else. Done perfectly and finished with sea salt. Just perfection. And the cheesecake dessert put it over the top completely. Highly recommended.

Dale: Thank you for letting us know that you felt good among us, we are also happy to know that you enjoyed the t-bone steak. All the best

10/10Small restaurant in the back of a beautiful delicatessen shop near the central train station. I tried the solomillo (brisket), tender and cooked medium to perfection. Good selection of local wines and desserts. Flawless service

10/10Quite "traditional" Restaurant with a very nice atmosphere (a bit like a butchers shop in the front and several dining rooms in the back). Very attentive staff, quick service, and -most importantly - very good food and wine. We had the croquetas and a salad first, and then a chuletón for two as a main. The first courses were great (half rations are big enough) and the steak was spectacularly good! Nice experience....

2/10First of all, I don't usually write a review, but I strongly felt that this experience should be shared with others. On May 22nd, my boyfriend and I dined at a restaurant where we ordered asparagus, mushrooms, and a t-bone steak. Unfortunately, the first two dishes were poorly done, but the t-bone steak was the worst. The meat was chewy, smelly, and old, and we strongly believe that it was not a real t-bone steak. We have eaten t-bone steaks before, and we can tell the difference. The restaurant was very pricey, but the quality of the food was lower than that of an average midnight doner shop at a train station. Even though we left the steak unfinished, the server did not ask how we found the food. It was evident that we were not satisfied with the meal, but no questions were asked. Moreover, the waiter did not act transparently or professionally. When we paid the bill, he only listed the items we had ordered without sharing the printed bill with us. We had ordered two glasses of red and white wine. When the server poured the red wine, he did not explain the wine and hid the label with his hands. Even in a pizza restaurant with a casual setup, we were presented with a label and explanation for a glass of wine. We found his manner unprofessional. Our bad experience with the food combined with the waiter's unprofessionalism left us with doubts and questions. We are still in shock. 제발 가지 마세요. 기분 좋게 저녁 먹으러 왔다가 여행까지 망치고 돌아갑니다.

Jina: First of all, May 22 has not yet arrived and regarding your comment, I do not plan to go into much detail for two reasons, the first: that along with your comment we have another one from the same day and at the same time, which is COMPLETELY opposite to yours and second, I don't think anyone who has eaten a T-bone steak has any doubts about whether what they see is a T-bone steak or not, so continuing to answer you it would be useless. Oh, by the way, we've seen your reviews of other restaurants that you say you don't usually write. All the best for yo and your boy friend Anton Jina: Lo primero de todo el 22 de mayo aún no ha llegado y en cuanto a su comentario, no pienso extenderme mucho por dos razones, la primera, que junto a su comentario tenemos otro del mismo día y a la misma hora, que es TOTALMENTE opuesto al tuyo y la segunda, no creo que nadie que haya comido un chuletón tenga dudas de si lo que ve es o no chuletón, así que seguir contestándole sería inutil. Ah, de paso

8.5/10An old school restaurant that looks like it has been serving food for longer than the 29 years it has. You walk through the shop that has served customers for over 100 years into the back into the antique looking restaurant. I had a sirloin steak and my partner ordered the Hake, after a thinly sliced smoked duck and anchovy 1/2 portion starters, and a lovely bottle of Rioja. The food was delicious and very well cooked. I only wish that they offered side dishes such as vegetables, as it needed something to better balance the dishes. That, or they should add more significant vegetable to the actual dish. Apart from that I would totally recommended this lovely antique restaurant.
