Gastrotaberna Macsura — Restaurant in Córdoba

Was looking forward to ordering the risotto boletus and it was good but not spectacular. What i was disappointed in was the service which was lacklustre. it started well with a young lady taking my order anl bringing a good red wine. I ordered the risotto and she wondered if wanted anything else making me think it wouldn't be enough. I asked for a side salad - not on the menu. She offered tomatoes, onion and leaves - perfect I thought to balance the rice. What came was a massive salad with eggs, avocado, raddichio as well as the tomatoes and onion - a meal in itself. When I said it was more than I'd ordered she said 'the chef always likes to give more' or words to that effect. She asked if I wanted bread - I declined but it was brought anyway. I didn't see her again, must have been the end of her shift. When the young waiter brought my risotto, I as still eating the salad. I explained it was more than I'd ordered and he seemed surprised, thinking I'd ordered the avocado salad. He then disappeared and no-one came to the table again to see if all was well until at last I caught the eye of, I believe the owner, to ask for another glass of wine. When I asked for the bill the salad was priced at nearly 14 euros! I said was not going to pay that for what should have been a side salad. I was prepared to pay 7. The waiter disappeared to 'ask the boss'. He returned with a revised bill with exactly the 7 euros for the salad. A long tale about a salad and a grudging response to a complaint. Very disappointing. Other reviews that the owner has replied to repeatedly says how valued they are and how they can learn. No evidence of that it...

Went to this restaurant whilst in Cordoba for a day (was in Madrid for business). I looked at this restaurant online and looked like a great option for my only dinner and meal in town - wanted to make it special. However, to be honest this was one of my worst dining experiences, not because of the food, that was fine, but due to the staff. Initially, they did not take kindly to a solo diner, however, I was seated. Once seated, the staff didn't 'wait' on me, and I had to keep asking for menus, services etc. honestly think they either forgot about me or did want to serve me. I literally had to stand up and walk across the restaurant about 5/6 times to request a menu, to order, desert menu, desert and the cheque. Honestly it's like they didn't want to be there or help me. When I did get their attention they were incredibly rude and portrayed that I was wasting their time, not sure if this because I was foreign or because I was a solo diner. The staff here are extremely rude, lazy and unprofessional. Please don't go to this restaurant and spoil a dinner in beautiful evening in Cordoba, there are plenty of other places who I'm sure would be grateful for...

The magnitude of scam I went through in this restaurant is worthy of a movie starring Leonardo Dicaprio. Please do not do yourself the disservice of eating here and leaving this country thinking this is what Spanish cuisine has to offer. All paellas & rices are advertised as “cheap” but after you sit down, they tell you that’s the price per person and they charge you a minimum of 2 people. Why don’t they simply put the total price of the plate? The “shrimp salad” had 1 (ONE) depressed and lonely shrimp. A complete ripoff. In Spain you’ll find fresh bread anywhere and everywhere, but apparently not here, as the bread we were served was clearly stale and reheated. There is nothing to salvage from this experience and I feel sorry for the servers that have to work here and pretend that this food is anything but trash. I salute you for the “yummy” noises you have to make to entertain tourists and distract them from what...
