Casa Narcisa — Restaurant in Madrid

We sat at their enclosed terrace for dinner which was comfortable and nicely separated from other diners. We shared the jamon croquettes, octopus tentacles, lamb chops and chuleton. The croquettes were excellent with an exterior reminiscent of panko breading. The octopus was very tender and had great flavor, certainly some of the best I have tasted. The chuleton was not to my personal liking, but the other diners enjoyed it very much, as we have very different taste in meats. The lamb chops had good flavor, especially considering how lean they were. I was too full to taste the desserts, but the other diners enjoyed the torrija. We ordered two bottles of wine, which unfortunately were overpriced for Madrid standards. I also ordered a glass of water and they brought bottles, which is a pretty dishonest way to make more money. I also do not like the fact they bring you bread without asking and then charge you for it, I understand some restaurants in the area do this, but they truly should be ashamed to attempt to make even more money this way as well instead of just raising prices a little bit...honesty is the best policy. Overall the dinner was enjoyable but I really hope they can reconsider changing some of their policies as well as lowering their margins a bit on the wines. I would probably not return due to the pricing, I think you can get better food for less money...

I had read the great reviews and really wanted to enjoy this restaurant. I came in as a party of one, solo dining. Many of the items on the menu are noted as servings for two people, particularly salads and vegetables. As I wanted to enjoy some vegetables or salad with my meal, I asked if they could offer half portions as they do with many other of their dishes. The waiter became extremely frustrated with my request; rolling his eyes and sighing loudly, displaying a very bad attitude of impatience and arrogance. He clearly just wanted me to order so he could move on, and wasn't interested in my requests. He eventually walked away before I even had a chance to order. I felt humiliated and had to walk out in the end...

Nice dinner place not far from las cuatro Torres. I end up there on a Thursday evening around 9pm and no issue to have a table. The staff is really nice the food was good but it is a bit expensive. Also they will charge you for the bread and some little bouchées that you did not asked for but they just place it on the table with the a nice smile. I don’t like when they do this. Also so much waste of water. They don’t have small bottle so force you to buy the big one that you can’t even finished. Finally they serve you chocolate and liquors to finish your dinner and these ones are free! So good food nice...
