A modern Basque cuisine restaurant at one of the most charismatic hotels in Madrid. Despite being highly recommended by several friends and having tasted some exquisite and memorable food, the experience was overall (only) satisfactory.
Service - 13/20
Nice, but too serious and clumsy.
Ambiance and décor - 15/20
White cloth, professional looking waiters, but a contrasting relaxed response from the diners.
Food - 14,5/20
Some very exquisite and cooked to perfection food, such as the Jarrete de ternera blanca lacado con puré trufado de patata, but also some trivial and not so well executed dishes (e.g. Ventresca de bonito del norte encebollada or the Esponjoso de chocolate, crema de café y helado de Bailey´s).
Inconsistency is one of the greatest threats to the reputation of a restaurant...and Goizeku a victim.
Overall - 14/20
Pros: Decide well and you will have a wonderful dinner, good to take a client for dinner
Cons: Food inconsistency, unprofessional service, expensive
