Hands down one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. Ever.
Six courses WITH a wine pairing for only 59 Euros.
The food alone would have easily cost $200 in NYC.
Course 1: small salad with Iberian pork, eggplant and sesame
Course 2: Gazpachuelo, codfish and local cheeses
Course 3: red tuna, pumpkin and basil
Course 4: Oxtail, lentils, shitaki and pepper
Course 5: A bread toffee pudding of sorts with marshmallows, caramel and vanilla ice cream
Course 6: fritter-esque bites with a chocolate nut fudge "chorizo" and a creamy rum shooter
Everything on each dish paired so well together and the portion sizes were perfect. Not too small. Not overwhelming. Just perfect. The food was so good, I would have eaten here again the following day, but the waiter advised the menu only changes every week, so I figured I'd switch things up. (The 'one hundred thirty nine' written on the top right of my picture of the menu represents the 139th week of being in business).
Overall, the waiter was very friendly, prompt, and professional, and didn't hesitate to slow down the food in between courses and showed patience when asked for recommendations for things to do after dinner.
As for the ambiance ... very clean and classy. If I had one request, it might be that they turn down the lighting a bit. It's somewhat blinding, and for a restaurant as nice as this, you'd think they would want more of an intimate setting. But if that's my only complaint, I'd say they nailed it.
Warning: the menu only consists of the pre-fixe. There is no a la carte menu so you're pretty much stuck with what they offer. That said, they do make it explicitly clear that they're willing to work with you if something doesn't appeal to you, or if you have an allergy, etc. Just ask.
Another warning: call ahead and make a reservation. This place was booked on a Thursday night so I had to settle for Wednesday instead. It must be a nice to be so good a chef like Lola Marin that you can not only pack a restaurant, but also tell your customers what THEY are eating. Bravo!
