Restaurante Lateral Ponzano — Restaurant in Madrid

Fantastic place, the food is absolutely delicious. Also, rarely do you get such great service as we got from our waiter Daniel. What you don’t see too often in Spain is your waiter. Usually, it’s a challenge getting their attention or seeing them around. But Daniel was always near by, refilling our cups when we were low and making sure we had everything we needed. His recommendations for dishes was spot on, everything was delicious and he never recommended the most expansive orders. 10/10...

The food was excellent, and the atmosphere warm and inviting. The service was great at the beginning of our visit, but as the evening progressed and they got busier, the service aspect became lacking - it was clear that this was because they were very understaffed not because of lack of care or effort. Hopefully they can have more staff working to ensure the service level stays consistent throughout! But apart from this, overall...

Really nice staff but the food was boring, not the top quality and lacking. Ideas like putting bacon on ensalada rusa are just silly. It doesn’t add to the flavour and is quite an unpleasant surprise to people who don’t eat pork (pescatarians and muslims to start with). All in all it was an ok experience thanks to the nice, polite and attentive staff and good drinks prices but I would not go again as it was...
