"Amazing food and outstanding service in a great setting. Especially from Pedro! I recommend sitting at the bar to enjoy the best experience. They serve a great selection of local wines by the glass (they use coravin). Don’t miss out on the beef tartar."

"Whitout any doubt... this is the best dinner we had so far in Spain. And we had a lot and really good ones. But this place took podium.. Food was amazing. Every dish was was an explosion of flavors. From the croquetas de bogavantes, to the beef tartar prepared by the table, to the tuna and grilled avocado with black aioli every plate was an amazing experience.. the Presa Iberica plate was also one of our favorites.. and the came the desserts. I could not describe them with words. The Chocolate in textures and the Mango a profiterol are a Must!! To not only pair this amazing food but to take it to the next level was the superb service provided by all the staff. Sorry I didn't take your names. But all of you where super professionals, committed to your diners and super friendly. Honestly, and I don't think I ever said this in a review.. this was as close to perfect as it gets. Definitely we are coming back. And to pun the cherry on top comes the place itself. It's beautiful to say the least. The hotel, the garden, the walkways along the pines, everything is spectacular.. all details where carefully taken care of. Hands down the best so far"

"We had an unforgettable dinner at Picador, everything from food to service was amazing. We tried both fish and meat courses and everything didn’t disappoint our expectations. A particular mention to the tartar that was spectacular. On top of that the service was friendly, attentive and made the experience unforgettable. A special mention to the Italian waiter that helped in removing the grasshopper from which I was pretty much scared Definitely recommended and we’ll be back for sure!"

"We had a wonderful family dinner here and loved every moment. Together we tried nearly the whole menu — from starters through mains to desserts — and everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The wine pairing was also excellent and made the evening even more special. What truly stood out was our waitress, Sonia. She was both professional and genuinely warm, making us feel welcome and cared for the entire evening. With her colleagues, she created a relaxed yet attentive atmosphere that turned a great meal into an unforgettable family experience. We can’t recommend this restaurant enough. If you’re nearby, make sure to visit."

"Beef tartare was amazing. So were the bread and the mollet. Live music was great as well. However, both main dishes were very mediocre. I would not recommend the tuna rice."
