Platos bien ricos, ligeros y para repetir. Ya es la segunda vez ue voy y como siempre es una maravilla comer ahí. Tienen a un gran cocinero y los camareros son muy atentos."

"A gem in the mountains. Great food and very thoughtful combinations. Would recommend is for sure and it is my place to go when lunching around the mountains. Very kind staff. Great Wine collection and the complimentary breads are very very good. Far better place than many great places in Madrid."

"Este fin de semana mi pareja me sorprendió llevándome a celebrar San Valentín a este gastrobar que ninguno de los dos conocíamos, ¡y nos encantó! La carta tiene el tamaño perfecto, con propuestas muy atractivas a la vista que luego cumplen totalmente en sabor. Todo estaba delicioso: cocina creativa, con personalidad y ese toque especial que delata que hay un chef con muchísimo talento detrás. Las croquetas estaban buenísimas, el mejillón tigre fue una auténtica delicia y no puedes irte sin probar su curry, sencillamente increíble. Esta vez lo tenían de corvina y estaba espectacular. Además, nos comentaron que van cambiando el producto según temporada, algo que me parece un acierto porque siempre hay sorpresa. El servicio fue fantástico y nos fuimos muy contentos, con muchísimas ganas de volver. ¡Un gran descubrimiento!"

"Hemos pedido el menú degustación y ha sido todo un acierto. Una variedad de sabores que no dejan indiferente. Cada plato nos ha gustado más que el anterior y con cantidades generosas. Caben destacar los postres (el de chocolate me ha encantado). Personal muy agradable. Si buscas una propuesta diferente en Colmenar este es tu sitio."

"Restaurante con propuestas diferentes y mezclas gastronómicas curiosas que sorprenden. Tienen menú ejecutivo por 17€ con tres tapas de entrante, un segundo y postre (bebidas aparte). Todo bien presentado y, sobre todo, un servicio de diez: rápido y muy atento. Ya hemos ido un par de veces y salimos encantados :)"
