This is a pricey restaurant; but definitively neither the service, nor the food or the actual space justify these prices. I am afraid that in general I would not recommend this restaurant now. I'll explain:I came here a few years ago, and then I got a much better impression. It definitively has slid down since I first came here. 1. Service is not good. I made a reservation. When we arrived -just on time-, we were asked to wait (for 20 minutes, standing literally on the street) to get our table. We were seated at the patio, and there, at one point, there was hardly anyone taking care of the tables. I had to stand and walk to the interior to find someone to come with the desserts menu (after waiting for 15 minutes for someone to show up), the same to request the check... The service was incredibly slow. We order 6 dishes to share, and we had to wait more than 20 minutes between dishes. Our dinner got endless. Really not good.2. Food was sometimes good, but often not good at all. The cochinillo was good (not Candido's good, but still good), the torrija was actually very good. The bomba rice was good, but unclear if it was within the risotto or in the arroz caldoso traditions. However, the trufa croquetas were terribly flavorless (a very ordinary bechamel with New Jersey-synthesized trufa oil, and that's it). The huevos rellenos were not any better (a celebration of blender, with this acid paste made of ingredients that were impossible to identify). In general, this started as a research-based Sephardi restaurant, and seems to be now a not-good tapas bar. The menu is in a desperate need of being workshopped.3. Something needs to be said about silverware. You cannot charge an 80$/person check and expect customers to keep their silverware from fish to meat, and from appetizers to mains. That seems just cheap and careless about flavors, experience and decor. This is just sketchy. 4. Space. The layout is really not working. The space is too fragmented. There is not a proper place to nicely wait to be seated. The kitchen and bathroom are dividing the restaurant in sections that the waiters forget about. The bar occupies the best part and is unnecessarily huge and useless. The patio us too small to create a lively atmosphere and is too distant to the rest. An architect is needed here. Other establishments by the same owner have similar issues. I am thinking of Txikito. These people need much better design. In general. Overpriced for a rather messy service, food and space, and for a diluted identity. Definitively not at the level of similar restaurants like Ernesto's or Estela and quite as expensive if not more.
