Been wanting to try this place for awhile!
When you first walk in, you are in the patio area. If you would like to go to the bar area, you will have to put your name on the waiting list. The only difference between the bar and patio area is that the bar area has some seats, music, coat check, and there's more to look at in terms of decor.
Both areas serve the same drinks and food.
We moved to the inside bar cause we wanted to get the full experience! The inside bar is super cute and nicely decorated. Be prepared to stand as "bar" raval is a standing type tapas place.
The drinks are pretty hard handed, rightfully so given the price. Nothing too special in my opinion.
The tapas are delicious.
We had:
Lamb belly - very flavourful and tender: A+
Stracciatella & Boquerones: A recommendation by the waitress. Very good! The mozzarella cheese melted in my mouth! A+
Hot octopus: delicious! Very chewy and flavourful. Get some bread and dip it into the oil. Taste delicious. A+
Razor clams: came in a can. It wasn't too salty. I liked it. Just not sure if it was worth $26. Perhaps, their cooked food was more bang for the buck. Regardless, an B+
The atmosphere was awesome. Just loved the vibe. The decor was so detailed and pretty.
A great place for pre-drinks and/or snacks. We weren't full and had to get pizza after.
Place is pretty pricey as expected from yelpers. For 4 cocktails and 4 dishes, the bill came up to $160 (before tax and tip)
