we had to wait until we could have our table, the atmosphere was actually pretty good. I don’t know if it is because there were lot of people but it took time for our waiter to come. When it was time to eat, they have given us the bread ( which we didn’t order) which was pretty good BUT we had to pay for it ??? They didn’t even ask if we wanted bread or not ?

The rooftop was full but it was good vibes, there was music, lot of people were dancing. We had fun.

A great option for summer drinks! We went there and watched the sun going down and it was the best time for pictures. The cheese plate and the croquetas  were really amazing!! Very kind staff too. It was a blast!

This rooftop bar is an awesome experience with beautiful sunsets and great vibes. It’s not really a place to eat, food is average and very expensive. The drinks are very expensive too!!! But it’s all about the experience and to have a good time. I recommend going a little buzzed and eat before! This is a great place to chill and enjoy the atmosphere!!!

Would skip on this bar/restaurant if you’re in Madrid.

Upon arrival we waited another 20 minutes for our table. We were finally seated and ordered our food and drinks. It took 30 minutes for our appetizers to come out (bread was very stale, but apps were okay) and another 40 minutes for our main dishes (which were cold and not great).

Service was extremely slow - felt like they forgot about us and prioritized other tables. It would take long for servers to get back to us (for water, sauces, removing plates). Would not recommend. Has a nice view from the rooftop bar though.

Chicken is not good at all. Pork was 7/10. Honestly, we came for the views and they were spectacular. But the fact that both my chicken Caesar salad and chicken and rice dishes were so disgusting that I could not eat them, was not ok. They didn’t even compensate anything on the bill, but could that be a Spain thing?
