The inside of this place is gorgeous, but honestly, it just joins the list of other beautiful restaurants in Fashion Square (like Élephante) that serve average food at a really high price point.
We went as a party of four. The food was definitely a mixed bag. The jamon iberico was really good, though the bread for the pan con tomate was weirdly hard to cut with the knife provided. The crab croquettas were the absolute highlight for me, and the pulpo was a huge hit with the rest of the table. Salmon tartar was just decent.
The biggest letdown was the paella negra. The black rice and the butter dollop were actually pretty tasty, but the proteins totally ruined it. The gulf shrimp and clams had absolutely zero flavor, and the shrimp was wildly overcooked. Not sure if that's a kitchen training issue or just how they do it, but it didn't work. I've had great tapas in other cities, and overall, the food here just felt borderline bland in comparison. The complimentary churros at the end were a great touch, though!
The drinks were a total miss. The carajillo tasted off, and the "Fancy a Carrot" was way too sweet. We actually had to send the Telefèric Sangria back—the menu lists a bunch of fancy ingredients, but it literally just tasted like cheap red wine loaded with a ton of cinnamon.
Service was okay but felt really clumsy. The food pacing was good and we weren't waiting long, but we heard plates crashing to the floor a bunch of times during our meal. Our waitress made two mistakes: she completely forgot the lobster tail we ordered with our paella, and she accidentally brought us meatballs instead of the pulpo. When we pointed it out, she graciously let us keep the meatballs and took them off the bill, which we really appreciated.
Also, while the dining room is stunning, the women's bathroom was pretty nasty with wet floors and seats.
Overall, 6.5/10. If you just want a beautiful room to sit in, it works, but this place just wasn't for me.
