La Fábrica de Barrett — Restaurant in Valencia

Lovely dinner at this eclectic restaurant! We were pleased that our dog was welcomed to join us inside. Not only that, she brought a small bin of treats for us to give him, as well as a bowl of water. I ordered the house red wine and my husband ordered a tap beer. Great quality and value! For dinner, we had the mini pulled pork sandwich and the fancy grilled cheese with brie, sundried tomatoes, and tapenade. DELICIOUS! Both were served with a small side of fries, so it was the right amount of food for a dinner that wasn't too heavy. And the price was right! Our server was very attentive and she spoke perfect English. It was a delight talking with the owner, Emilio, and getting his recommendations for other eateries in the neighborhood. Highly recommend La FAB for a...

I had the tacos and a margarita. I loved the margarita: sweet, tangy, with a good punch and beautiful presentation. Kudos to the young man who was mixing cocktails. Tacos were also very tasty. It’s a shame they only come in 4; I wish I could order them individually because I ended up eating more than I wanted to.

More than once I saw the kitchen put a meal on the counter, ring the bell for service, and then the food would just sit there for 1-5 minutes, cooling off. My taco order was victim of this too, and it felt really bad to be served a lukewarm dish, especially because it was a quiet night and staff was available. If the staff was a bit more alert and in tune with the kitchen, this place would earn 5...

Food was fine. Service was abysmal.

Brutal. A table of five next to us left because they did not receive any service for 10-15 minutes. We - foolishly - stayed.

The food was fine, but the service was truly so bad. We ordered four mains and a couple of drinks... 2 hours.

We asked for the check and the waiter legitimately disappeared for 20 minutes. We were one of three tables at the time. We asked the chef if we could pay. She graciously stopped to help us.

I really want to go in more depth about how odd all of this was, but the more detailed I get the less believable it becomes.

Simply...
