With dishes ranging from unpleasant to mediocre to excellent, this was a difficult score to determine. Ultimately I decided on 2 stars because of the price - for Prado's prices I expect consistent excellence.
The salad I ordered for lunch was accompanied by some lovely manchego cheese, however the greens were soused in what tasted like pure balsamic vinegar - too much of an acid trip for either me or my husband. A couple other small plates for lunch were edible but forgettable. The paella was a bland disappointment. The soft shell crab appetizer was fantastic, as was the whole roasted oratta (sp?), a Mediterranean fish.
The service was completely lacking - once our dinner was served we were completely left to our own devices - pouring our own wine, no water refills, etc. At lunch we were left waiting with our menus for about 15 minutes before our orders were taken - it a nearly empty place. Maybe I'll pop in again for whole fish, but there are too many better places to drop a couple hundred for dinner.
