MariscCo — Restaurant in Barcelona

Visited this restaurant on the last day of a 5-day Barcelona citytrip with a friend. We wanted to have the lobster to celebrate the end of our holiday. I never had lobster before, so I was eager to try the delicacy. My friend had it several times before.

It started out great with friendly and helpful staff. We had some scallops and langoustines for starters, which were all nice.

Then the lobster came. It started great, but as we got closer to the end of the tail and pincers, it started to smell and taste bad, like ammonia. Not knowing what was wrong, I finished it anyway (I eat everything and thought it was normal). I mentioned the bad odour to the waitress afterwards. Her first reaction was that she would never eat that... Then I asked if we would go sick. She said 'not at all', and not to worry, but of course we were worried already.

Turns out we both got sick anyway: Nausea after a few hours, some vomiting, and diarrhea the day after. Talking of a bad experience.

Thinking of it afterwards: The live lobsters are stored on ice, not in seawater, so they probably weren't in the best condition. I suspect some parts of the animal were turning while it sat there on ice suffering for who knows how long.

The bill was 103 EUR, but did contain a rather OK bottle of Syrah red.

All in all, I won't be returning there. Not...

We were at your restaurant yesterday. We wanted to exchange two glasses for a bottle of wine, but you couldn’t cancel it. We agreed to pay and take the bottle, but then a person with an extremely inappropriate reaction started shouting across the whole restaurant and kicked us out. We’re not sure if it was the owner or the manager.

On top of that, we were accused of being drunk when we started writing reviews… which sounds very strange. First of all, we were absolutely sober, and second… if we really had been drunk, why did you take our order, prepare it, and serve it? Your restaurant is a complete disappointment!!!

Disgusting service, and you even accuse customers of things that never happened! DISGUSTING 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

You are lying a lot — about the applause and everything else… If this is the waiter replying to me, that’s one thing, but if it’s the owner — then it’s a disaster, and I have nothing more to say to him. Shame on you!!! I categorically do not recommend this restaurant. And for future guests — if you want to be accused of alcoholism and have slander publicly spread about you, then by all means, welcome to this...

To your comment: “First of all, you are the first one in my life said I have no manner, maybe you have so high request for your customer, we don’t deserve your service! And i believe the first thing we entry is to say hi, w’d like to have a table for 2; but when I saw the tale you offered is in the aisle and a lttle bit small, so we just asking for the one next to it, which is for 4 people not 6!!!!! Please be honest; I am sure I was disappointed when you say no; But just when we want to accept the small table, you start to say no service for us! ! As a so called manager, please really take care of your manner and patience, your colleagues in the restaurant who had the smiles are much better than that you did! “

Very very very very bad service!!!!! Never been trade like this, 2 of us just ask if we could change to another table, and we have been though out from the restaurant!! just been told “they don’t want offer the service”! Please, if you don’t want be embarrassed to your friends or client, please change to another one! And the one who did is the cashier in the front desk, hope the manager...
