Was at Barsa on the patio this weekend. Nice patio.
Service, on the other hand, was quite piss poor. After waiting for a hostess to arrive, we decided to seat ourselves. After that, we had two different waitresses walk by 4-5 times each, none stopping to offer us a menu, welcome us or get us some water. Finally we flagged one down.
When the small menu did arrive, we were told that because it was 3:30pm, we could only order off the tapas list (7 items) as brunch was over and the lunch/dinner items weren't available until 4:30pm. Kind of disappointing to have half of the small menu not even available.
I ordered a jamon and tuna croquette ($3), a serving of olives ($4) and an order of patatas bravas ($7). Croquette was delicious, slightly larger than a golfball sized. Potatoes were delicious too. The olives, which I normally love, were very, very salty. So salty in fact that I couldn't finish them, which was a shame because the portion size was great. Not sure why they were so salty, but as a salt lover, when I say they were too salty, I mean VERY salty!
My other friends didn't have as good luck with the menu, each ordering a $7 green salad which looked like a few pieces of lettuce in the bowl.
When the bill came, we were surprised to see they had charged us $6 for water, which was seemingly tap water brought in a jug (definitely wasn't sparkling or even still) and they had overcharged us with an item we hadn't ordered. They did fix the bill for us after we complained about both the extra item and the water, but the waitress was a bit b1tchy about it.
