It is unfair to review compared to other restaurants in other cultures so I will try and give a fair representation of this restaurant according to what was expected. Expectations are also very important as there are street taco stands with Michelin stars. I expected a semi-fancy, moderately priced restaurant where I could order a wide array of dishes without worry the quality would change based on the dish. This is exactly what I received. We ordered MANY plates and almost each was savory. The plate presentation was good. I only noticed one sauce drop but it was within the plate frame. The servers always changed to clean plates in between dishes which was excellent. We did not ever have to ask to change plates. The only downside was they did not use a crumb scraper at the end to clean the table before serving desserts. I would recommend this to the establishment to further demonstrate a higher end establishment. I also noticed the chef had the towel on his shoulder which is not advised. The only plate I was not a fan of was the salad with smoked salmon and Ibérica ham. I believe the flavor pallet was off. The iceberg lettuce was not as high-end as a Romain or even mix greens. All the other dishes were excellent. The authentic dessert tarta de abuela was delicious. All my negative point are VERY nit-picky and just a few suggestions for the establishment. Overall this restaurant provided exactly what I was expecting and I was a happy customer. Thank you for your service!

Coming to Spain for 30 years and never had an authentic tapas experience like this. Jammed with locals, we were the only English speakers there, but the staff were so warm and welcoming and guided us through the menu, even making custom dishes we wanted. Great food, great service.
