"Estuvimos el sábado comiendo a mediodía, como éramos bastantes nos metieron en una especie de reservado y estuvimos fenomenal, la comida muy bien, comimos el menú de fin de semana y muy abundante, entrantes a compartir y luego un segundo a elegir, bebida y postre. Finalmente unos chupitos de cortesía. Nos atendieron estupendamente y estuvimos muy agusto. Volveremos sin duda"

"He pedido el menú del día. La verdad que bastante bien por 15 €. Arroz con bogavante bastante decente, tal vez un poquito caldoso. De segundo chuletillas de cordero, que si bien, no creo que fueran lechales premium eran bastante aceptables. El vino de la casa mas que aceptable para lo que estoy acostumbrado. El postre (el helado de vainilla) es lo que no me gustó tanto. Un poco insulso y los cereales de chocolate que se reblandecen no aportan. En cuanto el servicio rápido y agradable"

"Todo genial, salvo las verduras a plancha que estaban algo crudas y aunque pedimos que nos las pasasen mas, volvieron a la mesa igual.. el arroz con bogavante un poco duro y con demasiada grasa, pero eso es cuestion de gustos.. volveremos, estuvimos muy a gusto y el personal es muy atento."

"Entrati per caso con mia moglie abbiamo gustato una entrecot a la brasa a dir poco sublime. Il brasadero (proprietario del locale), maestro nel suo lavoro e molto simpatico come il suo personale ai tavoli. Ci torneremo stasera. Infine prezzi onesti!"

"Lugar muy agradable para comer. El menú de fin de semana por 20€. Carnes a la parrilla. Yo tomé las alcachofas que estaban buenísimas. De segundo entrecot, no es muy gordo. Algunas partes salen un poco duras de masticar por el nervio, pero de sabor muy bueno. La torrija no me terminó de convencer. Las opiniones de los demás acompañantes muy bien, arroz con bogavante, judías blancas y ensalada de ahumados. Las demás carnes muy bien. Volveremos sin duda."

"Agradable lugar donde comer en el centro de Leganés. El menú del día es bastante bueno y su relación calidad-precio está bien equilibrado. La carta es muy variada sobretodo en carnes y tener la parrilla en la misma sala le da un plus de olor y sabor. El cocido, de buen sabor, un tanto sencillo y se echaba de menos alguna carne. Sencillo como corresponde al menú del día. Los camareros amables y diligentes"

"Raciones generosas y un bacalao bastante bueno ( no tiene nada que envidiar a algunos famosos lugares de la capital). Camareros atentos y amables. Enseguida si te falta algo te lo traen. El ambiente tranquilo . La oreja muy buena y yo destacaría su rica salsa brava con la que acompañan a las bravas"
