What a horrible end to a great night. They tried to tell us we drank double what we had (even when we had proof of paying at the bar). We encouraged them to call the police to solve it because the waiters communication was aggressive and honestly the most hostile encounter I’ve had in Spain-when the manager stepped in, even worse with his very rude attitude. They told us the cops were on the way or we could pay what they were trying to charge us and leave it. We said we preferred to wait for police. Long story short, they gave in and we paid what we rightfully drank but not after they tried in every way possible to take advantage of us for not being Spaniards. I’ve lived in Spain for 12 years and this was the absolute WORST experience I’ve ever had. The rude, dramatic bartender on the terrace doesn’t deserve to have a job if that’s how she is going to treat customers-she was a know it all and the rudest person I’ve ever encountered in the service industry. Sad because the ambiance is great and the location is wonderful. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE-especially if you’re a tourist.

*EDIT IN RESPONSE TO RESTAURANT: the date was January 5 and I paid at 12:41 am. I still have the receipt and am confident that it is the correct place as I live in Madrid and was very excited to try your terrace. I posted my review the night of the incident but there was a problem and google reached out to me to edit it and repost-that’s why you’re seeing it now. Horrible treatment. Really really bad-I even called the police. The manager was the worst of all so I doubt there is a solution-I just want people to know so they don’t visit your establishment and receive what...

If there’s an option to rate zero star I would do without hesitation for this restaurant. Please avoid it at all cost. First, the service was the worst I experienced whilst in Madrid. The waitress team was rude and arrogant. There is one girl who’s having her phone hanging at the side of her shoulder and carrying it the whole time. If you want to have your phone all the time just don’t bother to come out to work in hospitality. there is no single smile at their face at all. Also, they couldn’t speak any English at all which makes the food ordering extremely difficult. We even needed to remind them that they forgot about our beer. Second, you can see from the bill, a bottle of water is €6 and a glass of normal beer is €10. We were so shocked at the prices. We stayed at many luxury hotels with greatest service before and the prices are not that crazy. Third, while eating, there are so many birds eating the bread crumbs at the table next to us. Where are we dining? A market? This is the worst expensive I had in Madrid. Tourists, avoid...
