"Bar en el que está muy lleno de gente, teniendo en cuenta que había la celebración del año nuevo chino, y solo había una camarera atendiendo a las decenas de personas que casi entro de golpe. Chapeau!!! Las raciones son muy grandes y solo 2€ por casi un bocata entero de tortilla (fue mi ración)."

"Me pareció fantastica la atención de los camareros, simpaticos pero no "graciosetes", educados y con un servicio magnifico, no hubo que reclamar en ningún momento un cambio de cubiertos o platos, un 10 (me da rabia cuando te preguntan si te cambian el plato después de comer algo con salsa), no pongo 5 estrellas en comida o ambiente porque estaba todo en su punto pero siempre hay algo que te puede sorprender más, lo recomendaria a cualquiera, magnifica cocina, magnifica atención y una cosa que se agracede, silencio o mejor dicho, tranquilidad, sensación de estar a gusto, se lo recomiendo a todos menos a mis ex (que coman en otro sitio) por cierto los precios muy prudentes, sin postre y sin copa no llegaria a los 45, como somos golfillos nos salió a 67 euros cabeza pero de los mejores sitios descubiertos en los últimos tiempos, llevad a vuestra pareja, os lo agradecerá"
