Babel Restaurante — Restaurant in Madrid

Service is awesome, I mean from the moment you walk in to leaving five stars. We walked in and managed to get our group of 6 seated without reservations, he just made it work which was really nice. Super busy restaurant so was excited about the food but that's where they fell flat. Nothing was inedible, it just wasn't very good, they did okay with food presentation but it all felt packaged.

Other than that the atmosphere and the place is nice and I would...

Possibly the worst restaurant I have ever been to. Nothing was right. There was no English menu and the waitress didn’t even bother explaining something to us or ask someone who speaks English to come and help us. So we had to order something randomly from the menu. When the food arrived one of the dishes was the wrong one. Neither my or my mother’s dish was good. Both dishes were super simple and things you can prepare at home in 5 mins. Not restaurant dishes. They were both super oily and so bad that we didn’t even manage to finish them. And of course too expensive for...
