Un lugar encantador para degustar unos platos muy bien preparados (menú degustación). El toque Ezequiel se deja notar. Servicio preparado y amable. Por la tarde noche puedes sentarte en la terraza y disfrutar de cervezas y pinchos. Para volver.

Menús degustación con tres primeros platos, elección de un sólo plato en el segundo y postre. Estupendo en sabores y atención.

Visité este local de Ezequiel y, aunque su ubicación está un edificio emblemático no sé si justifica los precios más elevados que en otros de sus locales, como el de la calle Ancha, Lo que más me sorprendió es que la tapa que nos sirvieron fueran unos frutos secos en lugar del embutido que esperaba, y que suele ser la seña de identidad de esta casa. Además, el horario indicado en Google no coincide con la realidad: estaba abierto a las 20:00, aunque la información indicaba que los viernes cerraban a las 17:00. Atención correcta, pero creo que deberían alinear la oferta y la información al cliente para no generar confusión.
