Nice place but a bit pricy considering that classic dishes like tortilla and pulpo a la gallega are not spectacular. The rice with ribs & mushrooms was good to try as a new dish, but the rice was a slight touch away from being perfectly cooked and the ingredients could show more cohesion, as ribs are cooked separately and mushrooms tasted a bit plain/unseasoned.
