Worst
meal
in
Spain,
but
several
points
of
value
here.
The
staff
seemed
to
have
tried,
but
by
a
combination
of
inattentiveness,
and
lack
of
cleanliness,
failed
to
live
up
to
expectations
of
the
many
venues
around
this.
First,
it
took
longer
than
10
minutes
after
sitting
down
to
get
any
attention,
while
other
large
groups
had
dedicated
waiters
making
drinks
for
them
at
their
tables.
It
finally
took
the
owner(?)
asking
if
we
got
our
drinks
to
get
things
moving.
We
were
aware
that
service
in
Europe
is
on
a
different
pace,
but
the
other
tables
getting
attention
(and
olives)
was
something
that
just
didn't
apply
to
us.
We
had
hoped
it
was
a
matter
of
understaffing,
busy
tourist
times,
or
just
bad
luck,
and
like
many
places,
sought
to
give
the
benefit
of
the
doubt.
Alas,
the
situation
declined
from
there.
We
had
to
again
seek
the
owners(?)
attention
to
order
food;.
He
must
have
noticed
that
we
were
waiting
a
while.
We
ordered
shrimp,
meatballs,
patatas
bravas,
tomato
bread,
and
a
green
salad.
The
green
salad
never
arrived.
Fortunately,
we
were
not
charged
for
it
(more
on
that
later).
The
shrimp
had
none
of
the
chili
or
aioli
advertised
and
were
plain.
The
meatballs
had
a
hair
on
them
(see
picture),
and
we
questioned
whether
they
were
fully
cooked
(see
picture).
The
patatas
bravas
were
ok,
the
tomato
bread
was
not
like
it
showed
on
the
menu
(soggy,
wide
bread
with
tomato
jam),
but
not
horribly
worse
than
what
we
had
elsewhere.
The
red
wine
was
good,
and
worth
the
price.
Finally,
we
got
a
bill
that
wasn't
accurate,
listing
calamari,
no
green
salad
(yay),
no
meatballs
(?),
and
fewer
drinks
than
we
ordered
(um,
yay?)
Honestly,
you
have
so
many
other
incredible
options
in
Barcelona,
why
use
your
time
here?
It
masquerades
as
a
tourist
trap
for
backpackers.
My
partner
also
took
issue
with
the
staff
wearing
masks
beneath
their
noses
and
chins.
I
get
that
in
a
pandemic,
it
sucks
to
wear
masks,
but
it
signals
a
lack
of
attentiveness
to
cleanliness
(see
hair
in
food)
