Our server was amazing. Great personality and open to questions. That being said her helpers acted like they didn’t want to help me. Very stoic and didn’t explain what was being presented (large thing of flavored salt was that my friend though was something else ruin some of the food). The some of the dishes were meh. The meatballs and the shrimp were great as was the cauliflower. The 60.00 paella needed more time on the heat. Some of the rice that I got was pretty al dente. Smaller room, kinda noisy at times. The couple next to us were very angry and it detracted from the experience but that’s not the restaurants fault. I was surprised that there wasn’t Spanish music or something more tying things in. The hotel it’s in is interesting on its own, as I face the bar from the dining area the TV’s were very visible and for higher end place it kinda detracted a bit as well. On whole I might try it again however not on a I need to go there again.

Booked table for four in dining room. Matre de refused to seat us in dining room saying they were booked with hotel guests. We were hotel guests. There were tables open all evening as we were seated in bar and could see through into dining room. Menu is spanish cuisine and not very appealing.

Good food and good service at a very good price. Of the six dishes ordered by our table, only the gazpacho was a disappointment. The gambás and albondigas were very good. Also enjoyed the Gin and Tonics and the churros.

The food is amazing. Service was phenomenal. Highly recommend you dine at Idol Wolf. We enjoyed the Serrano Ham and Olives starters. Delicious! Entrees enjoyed were the Octopus and Potato, Hamburger and Caesar Salad. All so flavorful and the perfect portion size. The staff went out of their way to help me purchase a penguin after the coffee shop had closed. Was so grateful! I collect them from each location and they went above and beyond to make it happen.

The ambience and food at Idol Wolf were terrific. We ordered aggressively from the tapas menu, and the dishes were spaced out perhaps a bit longer than necessary, but overall did allow us to enjoy each dish as it came. The pan con tomate with Manchego was the best I have ever had. The jamon croquetas were excellent. The fried cauliflower could have used a bit more texture and the sauce lacked personality. The gambas al ajillo were good--the shrimp perfectly cooked, but again the sauce was a bit monochromatic. Our server was fine. The albondigas were very good, though we were stuffed by the time they arrived. I'd go back for the tomato bread and to try other items, the jamon Serrano in particular, which did not make it into our feast. I felt the price was a pretty good deal.

Skip the paella, sadly that was underwhelming. But everything else was wonderful! Tuna on toast is a must.
