It looks good from the outside and does have nice decor. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to our expectations. First of all, I had the Solomillo de Corzo which I do not think was from a Roe Deer (corzo). I am a hunter myself and have harvested several corzo and the solomillo 's are tiny. This was probably a Solomillo de Ciervo from a Spanish red deer judging from the size of the piece of meat. It if was Solomillo de Corzo then it was from a giant Roe Deer. In any event, despite the nice sauce and presentation the meat was dry as venison tends to be unless cooked perfectly. This was not the case here. Also, we ordered the alcachofas (artichokes) and were again disappointed. They were nothing special and suffered in comparison with delectable and tasty artichokes I 've had at other establishments. We also had the Huevos Rotos for an appetizer and they were good with Pimientos de Padrón (famous Padrón peppers) but again, nothing special. The wine recommended to us was OK but again just nothing to rave about for 16.90 Euro. The desserts and coffee were also OK. I 'm not sure I would spend the money to return to L 'abbracio unless it was some matter of convenience and I needed to go to a restaurant nearby to my home. We spent 86 Euro for 2 persons and this reflected a 20% discount from El Tenedor.

Many tapas courses were served which were tasty. Our main course was lamb which I thought was ok. More like lamb shank service was good. We enjoyed
