Seven&Six

In a tweet: Posh, modern and fashioned "cocktails and food gastrobar", where you can ask for "gastrotapas" (60% of the whole dish), so to try more dishes. A bit better than average, but not exceptional. A wannabe...

Dishes: score, price and comment
Name Score Price Comment
Carpaccio de bacalao con vieiras a la parrilla y compota de tomate (Cod carpaccio -thin raw slices- with scallops and tomato compote) 6.8 11€ Expected more from the cod; not too tasty. The 2 scallops comes entire and are quite good (better than the cod). The compote doesn't taste as tomato, but it's not bad. it comes with a kind of salmon roe, which gives a bit of taste; but the cod, that should be leading "role", passes unnoticed.
Foie caramelizado, cebolleta agridulce y manzana acida con alcachofas marinadas (Caramelized foie, bittersweet scallion and acid apple with marinated artichokes) 7.2 9€ A bit too cold when served, reducing its flavour. Once tempered, still not too tasty. Good combination of the apple and scallion (where was the artichoke?), but still nothing exceptional.
Verduras ccrujientes con setas de temporada y vinagreta de albahaca (Crispy vegetables with seasonal mushrooms and basil vinaigrette) 6.5 8€ The waitress said they were like tempura (deep fried), but they were steamed (probably better) to a crispy point. Broccoli and cauliflower were insipid. peppers and green asparagus better. The onion and mushrooms the best. The vinaigrette quite good but scarce.
Pulpo braseado con mojo rojo y crema de patata trufada (Braised squid with red "mojo" -spicy cayenne pepper and garlic sauce- and truffled potato purée) 7.8 12€ The mojo was not too spicy, thus not stealing the limelight of the squid -perfectly cooked-. The potato purée was good, but the truffle completely unnoticed
Tronco de merluza de Celeiro, mermelada de cebolla y suflé de espinacas (Celeiro (A Coruña village) Hake "log", onion jam and spinach soufflé) 8 11€ High quality Hake, tender, soft and tasty; a bit scarce even for half a portion. The jam didn't taste as onion, but was good nevertheless. The spinach soufflé was good.

Service 8.0 The waitress that attended us was good, but the other two waiters looked a bit informal.
Ambience 6.5 Although there wasn't many people, it was too noisy. A pity; if it wasn't for that, it's nicely -modernly- decorated and illuminated
Quality 7
Presentation 7.8 Modern presentation (big dishes, black slate plates...
Menu variety 7 Simply good
