Visited the Distillery District and booked a table for two at Madrina. We had never been to a Tapas restaurant before, and this definitely set the bar high. Our favourite dish was the IBÉRICO PORK SECRETO STEAK — delicious. Other highlights were TORTILLA DE PATATAS and CATALAN CHICKEN LETTUCE WRAPS. Note: I have a shellfish allergy, so we didn't have any of the dishes that have those items.

Amazing food. It’s tapas so best if it’s 4 so you can order several dishes to share. The Portuguese based items ordered were all fabulous. Service is good but could be more personable. Cocktails are pricy but interesting. You need to search the wine list for value but it’s in there. Would go again.

Always outstanding. It’s great for vegetarians and meat lovers. The jeweled rice is not to be missed, an absolute delight. The way each dish was layered in flavor is just masterful and truly difficult to replicate. On the pricier side, it is a treat and perfect for special occassions.
