Came back to MAD for dinner.
Parking is simple: you can valet at the front door, or you can park at the garage. Pull the ticket, they are not charging at the moment, but it's easy to find a spot with the light indicators.
I asked for a zero proof drink, I think this is a strawberry mojito with a matcha green tea ice cube. Not too sweet, but does the trick.
They have some appetizers that are by piece, this is the foie gras on top of fruit tart, you don't expect it, but the flavors all goes together supremely well.
Jamon Iberico - the entire group agreed to have. It comes with bread with tomato spread on top.
Waygu Crisp which is
the Waygu beef that they cooked in front of you. It is on top of a bit of veggie and a crisp cracker, very easy going - not too heavy.
I loved this Brava Tomas- which is diced potato fried and topped with spicy oil, aioli, and the cheese drizzled everywhere. So good.
We also got the Grilled Octopus leg, nicely done.
To go with our paella. It's Paella Valencia - it has rice, chicken (pretty moist), white beans, artichoke bits. The flavors are not as strong as I remembered them to be, but the chicken was good.
Then we got the Exotic Banana
which is Banana & Mango confit, caramel mousse, and cake as the layers. Very 'pop-art' like.
Got a cup of cappuccino to go with that.
I'm not sure what they're trying to say here but it's in the bathroom.
Here's another bathroom neon art. Which on the way here, you feel like you're at a club but here you are at the bathroom.
Making a reservation is always a good idea. They are slower on a weeknight than weekend, but always helpful. Maybe because the night was slow, the staff were all too eager to clean the table. Basically even if we have 2 or 3 bites left, they're coming by to ask if they can clear the plate. It's not like we planned on staying there all night but would also like to have some peace to enjoy the food and the company. Literally, by the time we got one bit, they stop by, one of us just take it just so they'd stop coming back. Geesh! Chill out!
