| - I am going to start this review with the positives. Nice scenery, awesome sangria, friendly waitstaff.
However, over an hour before the bread and olives ($5 and 4 slices of baguette and an ounce of olives) arrives. Longer to order a glass of wine. Having travelled through Spain I understand the slowness, the ease, but this is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.
1.5 hours I am starving absolutely famished and discussing going to Burger Bar across the street for eats.
The food arrives, they have been backed up, all is forgiven as me, and my 5 DCs dive in, frantically dividing every bit into sharable portions. Famished. its 10pm. Dinner, in Barcelona dinner IS at 10pm. so, I suppose they get points for authenticity.
The food, itself is good. Tasty. Tapas, yes, but unforgivably tiny portions. $14 for a couple of bits of fish and two ounces of frites. Very tasty, but horrifyingly too expensive and not enough portion wise. Not for the price.
18% autograt on our tasty meal left 5 of the 6 of us hungry and cost us $90 a couple. Can you IMAGINE the meal we could have had anywhere else for this price.
The ceviche was great ok, but with 2 ounces of fish in it and the 75 min wait for $14 SO not worth it.
Do they want to do better? Hire more waitstaff. When you have a full DR via reservations, make sure you have enough staff to cover. And knock the prices down a bit, seriously.
Luckily, I was with my best friends, and the company made the whole night. I had a great, but hungry, time. Possibly would have been a different experience if we came FULL and wanted to have ONE shared plate while drinking. Even then, a mediocre Tempranillo runs $10 a glass. Will not, ever, ever, return.
