    We came for the paella and wow! The Socarrat was delightful and the seafood was Smokey yet tender. We throughly enjoyed our server Caroline who was quite entertaining to speak with at different points of our meal. My son also savored the gazpacho as an apologized and he was actually a little sad when he had his last spoonful as he wanted more. We had a wonderful meal with a lively ambiance that served to make this a truly memorable meal

    We have loved this place for years. However, the pallea is now SO much rice, and so little seafood or meat. Also, the duck we ordered was overly fatty and rare. I couldn't eat it. However, the tapas/apps were fantastic and service is always great. But we are pretty disappointed with the main courses.

    Our server Nic was amazing. She had a really thorough knowledge of food and taste combinations. We asked for her advice when ordering, and she definitely steered us in the right direction. She made the entire experience just wonderful!

    Took my Granddaughter and her husband for her birthday dinner. 0ur server (Nic) was fantastic. She stayed on top of things, making sure we had everything we needed. We had appetizers and dinners, each of us ordered something different so we could taste different items. Everything was delicious! The food and the service was great and we had a wonderful time. The prices are a little high, but you get what you pay for.

    This was our first time at Barcelona and it was a lovely experience. We went with all Tapas and it was great - the Queso y Jamón, Filete de Hierro Plano (this was amazing!), Patatas Bravas, Calamares Fritos, and Chorizo (in the most delicious broth). We also had an excellent pistachio cheesecake. I loved the ambience and that we didn't feel rushed out - we could eat leisurely like we did in Spain. Olivia was our server and she was attentive and kind. This was our first time and it won't be our last.

    The appetizers were good, but the entrees were not good. The pork tenderloin was extremely tough and tasted more like hamburger meat and the paella left much to be desired. It definitely was not as good as it was in the past few times we visited. Not sure we will be back the next time we are in town. but the service was outstanding!
