I’m only reading some negative reviews after I went, so I ate there with an unbiased mind.
We went for lunch, and it was such a joyful surprise to see such a beautiful place after lots of walking and furniture shopping in busy streets and noise. So 10/10 for the location!
As soon as they brought us drinks they also brought us bread and two spectacular amuse-Bouche (little short pastry nests with a truffle cream cheese filling which were delicious!). This was a nice touch.
we ordered the bacalao, which was a pretty modern take on a traditional
recipe and so good, and the lubina, which came on a bed of seafood risotto 100/10.
although on a diet we shared the cheesecake, also excellent.
overall the service was great, we did have many different waiters attending to us, which is unusual, but to be honest its not the downfall of the restaurant (although maybe an indication of poor logistics, but thats an internal issue which shouldn't concern the customers) everyone was super nice to us and to all the people around us.

Nice place, outside atmosphere. Ask for a lubina, you get bacalao, which is better in the end.

Don't drink the coffee (or at least put plenty of milk and sugar in it).

Compared to previous years where I had a not too nice experience, this last time the experience was better. The service has improved and even the quality of the food (at least it arrived warm enough).

We had brunch (25€ per person until 13h), in the outdoor seating with some heaters and it was very pleasant. Except the cakes that were not fresh the rest of the dishes were nice.

Great decoration and service. I guess it would be great just for some drinks, not many options for sharing food.
