It was not what I remembered, over busy and noisy as extra tables had been crammed in. The staff were grumpy. But it was Christmas day so I would have been too.

Gorgeous building, with details from another century. Food and wine were excellent with top notch service. Make a reservation. They don't allow looky-loos just hoping to check out the space. So make a reservation in advance.

Very modest couvert - a few olives
Had to ask for bread - it tasted a day old served without oil
Appetizers were good - I had the canelones with bechamel
Entrees were also good - I had the vaca de Galicia but my partner found lamb shoulder overdone.
Rioja was very good but pourings weren’t generous.
Service was average but setting sublimely historic.

Enjoyed our dinner. Food was good. Could have been served hotter. Their recommended wine was very good. Paired well with our fish. As the restaurant filled the noise level was high. Strongly recommend reservations.

Deliciosa comida. Buen servicio aunque los meseros no siempre entendían el español. Un poco caliente el ambiente. La música de muy buen nivel de sonido aunque me hubiera gustado algo más local y no música norteamericana

Beautiful restaurant. Service was excellent. Great pride with everyone we had contact with in every aspect of our dining experience. Ingrid was our server, but person who took our drink order, manager and owner were all lovely as well. Food was delicious. Make sure you dine at this fine establishment.

Ordered a bottle of wine and starters. Told we had to order entree because it would take 30 minutes or more for entree to be delivered to our table. Ordered Chicken and Norwegian Lobster Paella. Entree was delivered before we finished our starter. There were mussels in the paella which were not mentioned in the description of the meal. When the server brought it and we mentioned the mussels his response was “well, let her (pointing to me) eat them”.
