Meliá Tapas Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Berlin

We visited the tapas place in the evening of today. We approached a young waitress who was in front of the screen at the entrace of the bar. We asked her about the place to sit but she rolled her eyes and using an angry and rude tone of voice she said: "Can you wait?" after a moment with the same attitude she asked "What do you want?" We responded that we just wanted to find a place to sit for two. She replied: "Choose wherever you want" (even ruder and angrier). Having such a disrespectful treatment, we just decided to go back to our room and have some wine from the minibar.

When working in the field of hospitality, you must be aware of the importance of being respectful, professional...

We were only customers in this (hotel) restaurant. Food was average, but far from good spanish tapas. But the service totally ignored us. I ask if they are open and there is 3 of us for a dinner. Waitress show table, disappear for 10min and bring 3 espresso that we didnt order. We though that maybe this was greetings from the restaurant but it was not, charged 10.50€ at bill. We had to wait 20min for menus, it took maybe 5min to decide dish, then after 20min wait again i got server tob take order. Food came faster luckily. Only thing we got fast was the bill. I asked for separate.. well, you guess right, only one total bill for the group. Location is only good thing...

Food was very basic. Nothing stood out to me as far as flavor. The squid rings were not seasoned. They were just dipped in batter and fried. We ordered an abundance of food and nothing but a basic salad I order pleased the pallet. I’ll insert pictures below. Service was not bad however I speak fluent English and my boyfriend is fluent in Spanish. Our server was Asian and the language barrier was apparent. For a Spanish restaurant, I was highly confused by the lack of communication between the server and the customer. Other than that I would not recommend this place to eat versus all the delicious restaurants...
