Read moreFeia anys que un restaurant no em decepcionava tant. El tenia a la meva llista de #MustGo desde feia temps, després de l’experiència d’ahir, no tornaré.
Opinió: Suposadament l’espai i les vistes s’emporten les màximes puntuacions. Pel meu punt de vista massa saturat. Les taules son tant properes que per exemple no sabien ni on posar el cava. Varem sopar entre una taula d’holandesos de melena espectacular (veure foto) i una taula de gent ben posicionada de calella i amb mig grup d’amics sopant a les diferents taules i de qui podriem explicar-vos molts detalls, perquè els tenim tant a prop que era quasi innevitable escoltar-los.
El producte, sí però no. No estava indicat en la carta d’al•lèrgens.
Preu em sembla desmesurat. És a dir, pago el mateix però on erem 5 taules en som tres i em serveixen bé, ho entenc i em sembla excel.lent, però pagar 140€ per dues persones en una terrassa mal dimensionada i pel pèssim servei rebut, definitivament em sembla una estafa.
Us explico la nostra experiència: Teniem reserva al torn de les 10. Varem ser els primers del torn a seure. En porten les cartes i a esperar. Acompden a tot el 2n torn i comencen a pendre nota a descriteri, nosaltres esperant. Quan finalment ens demanen, ens indica coses que no estan disponibles aquell dia (mal fet, això es diu abans) Porten el cava, que donada l’apretada distribució de la terrasa, no sap on col•locar. (Nota, no demanem aigua però poca vista el noi, encara ha de treure els gots de la taula, hagués anat bé)
De primer haviem demanat músclos i amanida. Què porten primer? Els músclos! 🤦♀️Més tard l’amanida.
Ens retiren els plats i a esperar que no ha estat res. El nostre segon plat (pop i sardines) no venia. Varem veure com TOTES les taules del voltant que havien arribat més tard emnjaven 2ns, alguns arribaven als postres i els cafes, i nosaltres allí. Després de mitja hora de rellotge li demanem si es recorda del nostre segon, resposta: “si vaig a mirar com està”. No torna més fins al cap de 25’ amb els plats. I diu un “ara sí, disculpeu” Li trasllado al cambrer el meu descontent i la falta de professionalitat, li trasllado els fets, tot hagués anat bé si ve i mho explica, però ell conclou amb una “a la cuina no mhan indicat que hi hagi hagut cap incidencia”, el que confirma la seva NO CAPACITAT per estar de cambrer a un restaurant, un cambrer ha de veure què passa i actuar. Un desastre. Nota: Pop estava FRED, molt fred, i he menjat millors pops i més quantitat (preu 30€)
A l’hora del postre ens porten els cafès 23.43, encara sense haver menjat el postre, jo m’indigno i pensem que es perquè donat q tanquen a les 12 han tancat la cafetera, fet que em sembla FATAL, perquè de no haver set per la seva incompetència jo mhagués pogut prendre el postre i el cafè en l’ordre que toca.
10’ més tard apareix una cambrera amb dos cafès més. Veu que ja el tenim, perceb la meva indifncació i en compensació els deixa. (Seguim sense postre) Apareix el “no cambrer” amb el postre, comprova que no haviem demanat nosaltres els cafès i se’ls emporta.
No es pot dir mai “d’aquesta aigua no en beuré”, però faré tot el que estigui a les meves mans per no...
Read moreVegans and vegetarians should avoid! After being seated and ordering two (expensive) alcoholic drinks and two starters (after asking what was available for vegans and that being the option) we were told to leave after about ten minutes of waiting "you can't stay here and just spend that little money" (about €25 euro for two). We explained we were vegan and there was nothing else to order and it wasn't actually lunch or dinner only be told "this is not a vegan restaurant or a bar". This was said very rudely. To give context: it was 3:30pm, there was another empty outdoor table, inside was nearly empty and no queue but apparently our money wasn't good enough here.. another altercation with a customer also took place as staff refused to put one more chair at a table to accomodate her family. Needlessly rude and clearly think they're something special. For those who do eat fish/meat from the menu and food being served it looked hugely overpriced!...
