If you end up in Maceira be sure to try veiras (scallops). They stuff the scallop in the shell with bread crumbs, tomato, baby shrimps and garlic and gratinee it. Not available at Maceiras.

confused They are delicious although very expensive. I love them, but how can we try the vieras at Maceira if they're not available there? confused

We should try to meet no later than 1:30pm at the Gabriel Garcia Lorca statue in Plaza Santa Ana. Agreed?

I've just read a number of reviews about this place. It seems the food is great and well-priced but the service is absolutely terrible.

Here's a couple good/funny-or-not review about the place and the service:

Quote:
Juan (24/06/2008)
La comida y el vino buenos. Las camareras bordes y desagradables. Cuando está lleno ponen la música a un volumen imposible para echarte y si pides que la bajen te miran como para asesinarte.
In short, in the words of "Juan" above, "the food and wine are good but the wait staff is rude and unpleasant. When the place is full they turn the music up very high in order to get rid of you. And if you ask them to turn it down they look as if they could kill you."

Opinión completa
No volveré a este restaurante, y me fastidia, porque me gustaba y mucho. Soy gallega y el día que lo descubrí me quedé encantada por la tapas buenas en general y el tipo de alimentos y ambientación tan propios de cualquier taberna enxebre en Galicia. Pero el servicio sólo se puede calificar de pésimo. Mala educación, ignorarte cuando les hablas, chulería... más de unas camareras que de otras. En las últimas ocasiones en que he ido he tenido que ver como levantaban a gente con la comida en la mesa, y les hacían moverse a otra, porque les cuadraba mejor para juntar dos y meter más gente. Vamos, jugando al tetris con la clientela que ya está comiendo. Y al final después de tanto verlo un día me tocó (con invitados, una verguenza...). Pero la última vez, hace unos días ya ha terminado de enfadarme: me acerco 20 minutos antes de las 14:00, con el local vacío y les pregunto si tendría mesa para 6 a las 14:00, y la encargada me dice que no hay problema. Llegamos a menos 5, el local ya lleno... y nuestra mesa? Nada, hay que esperar, que es que ellos no reservan! Eso ya lo sé, por eso me molesté en ir 20 min antes y preguntarle. Me dejaron plantada con mis padres y hermanos en la puerta como si fuera imbecil después de haber estado haciendo tiempo... No vuelvo ni de broma. ¿Les sobran clientes? a mi locales.
Absolutamente desaconsejable.
The above Spanish review is totally negative about client treatment but says the food it good. I hope WE have a better experience but.... We'll see.

There's another location by the same "group/family" VERY near the one on Calle Huertas on Calle de Jesús 7. If the one one Calle Huertas is full we may try the other one.

MM-Maceira is the one on c/Jesus, Maceiras is around the corner on Huertas. The menus are similar but not identical. (No veiras at Maceiras) There have been nights where we have gone to both to cover all bases! wink

Aaahhh.. Now I get it. Thanks for the clarification. Well, if we get to Maceiras and they're full we may just go to Maceira.

Saludos, MadridMan
