Bar La Tareta — Restaurant in Alcoi / Alcoy

We went there, it was empty (now we have seen the reviews can understand why!) A scruffy, dishevelled waiter came up to us & told us it was all reserved, so we left & went to the much nicer, smarter restaurant across the road & had a lovely meal at La Racona. The tables sat empty for at least an hour or 90 minutes whilst the guy played on his phone. Really weird, never experienced anything like it. Either the waiter didn’t feel like working or he didn’t feel we were good enough for the restaurant, which was strange, seeing as it was a not especially nice, poorly reviewed place (set google to most recent reviews & you shall see this is a new problem for this place, we only looked at the overview & the positive reviews are older, this place has obviously changed hands &...

Following a visit to the Font Roja park we stopped in Eloise for tapas. Bar La Tareta did not disappoint. I’m vegan and sometimes have problems with choice!! However the chef came out and offered several dishes. Patatas Bravas(of course), croquettes Espinnacas (super delicious) and Tostons which were incredible. My partner had calamari which he said were the best he had ever tasted. That together with bread and dips and two small beers made the meal. The waitress/owner was so nice and showed us round her inside restaurant- really clean, inviting with local paintings on the wall which made it really homely. Such a lovely afternoon spent here. Well...

Me encanta este bar por la comida. Llevo viniendo aquí desde hace 5 años nunca he tenido un mal servicio hasta el día de hoy. Como todos los años celebro el cumpleaños aquí, hoy nos ha atendido un camarero que se llama jony. Un error nuestro ha sido no avisar de que seríamos un comensal más y al enterarse nos ha respondido de malas maneras diciéndonos textualmente: -y ahora que hago malabares? A lo que hemos respondido que nos arreglábamos situando a la persona en un sitio dentro de la mesa apretándonos que no molestara el recorrido del camarero. A la hora de pedir nos ha dicho que pidiéramos 4 platos de las cosas q nos fuéramos a comer a lo que le he respondido ( soy vegetariana) que no todos íbamos a comer de lo mismo y que íbamos a pedir variado por lo que 4 tapas de pechuga al roquefort no iban a comer todo el mundo e iba a sobrar comida que íbamos a pagar. No le ha parecido bien y nos ha dicho que la cocina iba a tardar mucho más... la comida ha salido rápido, al contrario de lo que ha dicho joni. Además de malas caras, malas contestaciones sin tener nosotros ningún mal trato con el personal nos ha dicho que cerraban a las 00:00. Hemos intentado pedir postres a las 23:32 y no nos ha servido ningún postre porque la cocina cerraba a y 30. He trabajado en cocina y se lo que cuesta servir una tarta que está preparada: 4 segundos. Lo único que quería era soplar las velas en una tarta. En resumen me gusta este sitio pero con este servicio creo que deja mucho que desear, sinceramente tardaré bastante en volver por aquí porque me he venido de celebración y solo he encontrado que malas contestaciones....
