3/5 Peter R. 2 years ago on Google
[After
giving
it
some
thought,
I
have
modified
my
original
scoring.
While
food
and
table
service
are
indeed
outstanding,
we
would
not
return
to
Iván
Cerdeno
nor
recommend
the
place
to
a
personal
friend,
so
it
would
be
quite
inconsistent
to
award
it
a
5
score
with
google.
It's
simply
questionable
hospitality
to
put
guests
who
booked
the
biggest
menus
weeks
ago
at
the
worst
table
of
the
whole
restaurant,
while
the
good
ones
went
to
locals
who
only
appeared
for
a
very
limited
amount
of
time
and
consumed
little,
i.e.,
mostly
these
tables
were
kept
empty
for
their
comfort.
I
will
not
spend
again
more
than
400
EUR
with
an
elevator
view,
sorry.]
I
recommend
any
locals
to
choose
among
the
many
gourmet
options
in
Madrid.]
My
original
five
stars
referred
to
cooking
(in
our
opinion,
deserves
more
than
one
Michelin
star;
except
for
one
course,
everything
was
totally
outstanding,
the
one
course
was
excellent,
but
fell
short
of
outstanding)
and
to
service
(very
friendly
and
efficient).
I
would
wholeheartedly
recommend
this
restaurant
to
any
foodie.
That
being
said,
I
do
NOT
recommend
it
for
any
special
date.
We
booked
weeks
ago,
specifying
in
the
reservation
that
we
will
go
for
the
full
menu,
and
they
still
put
us
on
the
worst
table
in
the
whole
restaurant
(check
our
photos
with
the
view
to
the
lovely
elevator
in
the
background).
Several
tables
with
a
view
to
the
city
were
empty
when
we
arrived,
occupied
later
for
a
short
time,
and
freed
much
time
before
we
left
(as
the
customers
lucky
enough
to
get
these
hardly
consumed
anything).
Worse,
one
much
better
table
than
ours
remained
empty
during
all
the
time
of
our
stay.
Adding
insult
to
injury,
in
reply
to
a
message
complaining
in
private
about
this
situation,
they
told
us
that
thus
far
they
considered
our
table
one
of
the
best.
Well,
if
you
are
an
elevator
geek,
maybe!
Anyway,
cooking
in
this
place
is
superb,
and
it
is
a
real
pity
that
reservation
services
fall
so
much
short
of
cooking
standards.
Still,
if
you
wish
to
eat
there,
I
urge
you
to
clearly
insist
while
reserving
that
you
want
a
good
table;
we
were
naive
enough
to
believe
that
they
would
follow
standard
practices,
which
they
failed
to
do;
you'll
see
the
consequences
in
our
photos
with
the
lovely
elevator
background.
