Reviews
The only thing that felt a bit odd was at the end, when we asked for the bill, the table butler mentioned that the service charge was not included. While it wasn’t a big issue, it came across as slightly unusual since most places usually clarify this upfront.
Overall, though, the food and experience were fantastic, and I’d definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for top-quality steak and a great night out.
The only thing that doesn’t seem great in a restaurant like this is having a waiter that took 5 mins to open a bottle of wine because he didn’t have the experience (something really simple) and also the fact that another waiter while listening to us ordering food was making baloons with a chewing gum, a true disservice to a great food experience.
Arrived first, I was accompanied to the bar and offered a glass of wine. The host seemed a bit too busy and important by the way he behaved hehe but the blond guy at the Flores bar was very nice and smiley.
Once we all got to the table, the food started to arrive. All the food was good but what wasn’t very comfortable is that they put the plates in the middle of the table, so we had to manage ourselves with how many people and from what side of the table we have to share a dish. This way some of us couldn’t taste some dishes as it wasn’t enough. I prefer when everyone has its own plate with a bite of everything, like a degustation.
Anyways, a beautiful place with good food.
Our starter is beef carpaccio with foie gras, a dream dish.
Along with the starters, bread and 4 local dips are always served.
Then continue to the meat platter. We vary each time with a different cut and everything is simply delicious. Along with the meat platter, you will receive a variety of side dishes, from a freshly cut vegetable salad to a perfect sweet potato puree.
So for all meat lovers, it’s time to reserve a place.
For the past 6 months been there 3 times. The best part of it they have round table for a bigger group which make it so much easier to talk to everyone during dinner.
As for starters you must have is the foie gras with raw beef. The beef is so tender it just melts in your mouth! With that hint of salt that you taste at the end finishes off this appetitser on a perfect note.
If you have a bigger party feel free to try to enpanada to share just to have some pastry.
When it comes the mains, if you have a bigger party definitely go for the tomahawk or the tbone. If a smaller party I would recommend 2 cuts. Make sure to remove or move the meat to the side of the hot plate onces it is served to avoid overcooked meat
