   Always a fantastic experience and meal. The small plates are amazing, from the flavour to the attention to detail.

   I really enjoyed Madrinas. This is my 3rd time and the food is really delicious and consistent. The service is very good. The staff is so pleasant and genuinely happy to see you. They have a great wine list and the food is upscale authentic. Definitely a sharing menu. You must try the Tuna Tartare cones and Shrimp Croquetas. We also loved the Catalan Chicken wraps and The Crab and Avacado Salad Cannelloni. I would go back again. The is lots of variety and I always enjoy myself. There is a nice lively crowd and the it is always fun to mill around the Distillery District.

   Had 8 different tapas. Some were tasty (Tuna cones, crab Pintxos, truffled manchego (although tiny amount of quince paste), others fairly bland (mushroom Pintxos, tortillas de patatas) and the truffled egg yolk was not nice at all. Poor value for the Anchovy Matrimonio (4 tiny slivers of anchovy $20) and Paella (4 small clams and 4 shrimp on a small plate of very ordinary Arborio $35). Cocktails were very good. Attractive decor. Good service. Music was not to my taste, repetitive electro pop.

   Had a great evening at Madrina. Our server, Kai was so knowledgeable, answered our questions and offered great suggestions. Each plate was so tasty and well presented. The space is small and a little noisy but totally acceptable. A bit pricey but like it’s said, you get what you pay for. Worth it for such great service, delicious food and a delightful Tapas experience.

   Do not go if you want to be satisfied. Menu is very deceiving. I have been to Spain many of times and I understand tapas are small but that was ridiculous. Olives came with maybe 6 . Chicken wraps were two tiny wraps with tiny pice of fried chicken . Take a bucket of chicken and cut it up. We spent 300 each couple on tapas and we left starving. Never again
