This spot has been a troubled one... we went a few years ago to Monster Sushi, which was in the spot. It didn't last long. We believe, however, that Villa Madrid will stay for a long time.
Our party of 6 started with a round of appetizers that we all shared. Everything was excellent, from the lobster and crab ravioli, the octopus, the seafood and crab cakes, the seafood stuffed mushrooms, the chorizo and shrimp with garlic, all the way to the shrimp and mushrooms with garlic. Everything was perfect.
We waited to see if we would need entrees after the appetizers, and most of us did. A friend and I chose to get another order of the crab cakes, two others got the skirt steak, and my husband got the paella. Everything I tried was wonderful, and the entrees we got were LARGE... it's rare for my husband to take leftovers, and he might even have done so had we not gotten the appetizers. Their entrees also came with a really good cream of mushroom soup.
Finally, our friends shared flan, which was pretty good. It was flavorful, but cold... I didn't think flan was supposed to be so chilled.
I did feel like the pricing was on the high side, particularly for a BYOB, but it was definitely a nice treat to go here.
