Worst experience of my life. We were a party of 15 and all the food was cold. Soup needed to be microwaved as it was sitting most of the night. Appetizers were barely ok and were cold as well. Steaks were ordered medium and all came rare. When I spoke to the manager she said they were having chef problems and was sorry. She then stated that they weren’t ready to handle a party of 15 at which point I asked here why she took the reservation. The waiter and bartender all apologized and stated they had major problems in the kitchen that day and they were embarrassed. They offered to recook all the 15 meals as they were all cold/Luke warm at best. I graciously saved them The disgrace of messing it up again. At this point they charged me for my drinks which I offered to pay (and they accepted). This was our one “big” meal while in Barcelona and it was a total disaster. I would not recommend this to anyone who enjoys food. McDonald’s would have been a better evening.

My advice to anyone who is thinking of going, go somewhere else. A lot of choices in this price range and a lot of better overall restaurants. Still mad that I was told they weren’t equipped to handle this large of a party and I guess that’s my fault.

Anyway, for those who enjoy good food and good service my advice is go elsewhere. Plenty of great places...

From the pictures and reviews it looked like a cool, lively place but when we arrived around 8pm on Sunday it was empty and devoid of character, even though the decor was quirky and inviting. There was much more atmosphere outside in the beautiful back garden.

The waiter was direct and quite cold. He had all the time in the world to put us at ease and make us feel welcome. He did not do that.

We didn't feel like we were particularly valued, which was a shame as it was my girlfriend's 30th birthday. She really wanted a cocktail on her special night but was told she couldn't, but not really given a reason.

The food was tasty and the wine was good, but the overall experience was stilted and stiff. It might have been because it was a Sunday, but that doesn't really feel like an excuse.

We showed...
