    I came to Barcelona for my Gf's Bday. I had never tasted authentic Spanish Food. Every dish I had was so good. Staff very friendly and help me choose dishes, which I loved. Prices are so decent too. Great atmosphere of local people. If I come back to Barcelona I will definitely make a visit. Spanish food which is classy, Tasty.

    Please have a look at the pictures; nice tapaz, yes; but then, the oil and vinegar OMG so dirty!!! the waiter, we needed him to be pointed out why we were asking "another one"; ok then, the hamburger: we asked "well done", if this is so difficult to make a hamburger, sorry...; wine was good and correct price; dessert was sososo; the restaurant as such looks very good! but the service and cooking is NOT accordingly

    Good tasty food at reasonable prices. Friendly service. Recommended. The Thai chicken curry was chicken katsu curry, not a complaint, just a clarification.

    I ate a nice menu! And I think the review score doesn't correspond to the quality of the place. The atmosphere is very nice and they served us very well. The 15€ food was nice, I enjoyed my menu of tuna in Oriental soy sauce and my gazpacho.

    Came here in a rush so we wrote off the bad experience as us being rushed. We came back a second time and the service is so incredibly slow. The food was very bland and portion sizes very small. The chicken wings were raw so we had to send back. The location is so central it is and could be a great place if the food was cooked with at appropriate temperatures and was seasoned. Please note I tried to post a photo of the raw chicken and google content would not allow because of the blood in the photo.

    Very beautiful place, modern. Appetizers very delicious, paella was not fully cook, dry. Took over than an hour.

    Very slow service, unhappy staff, not good food. Just looks like fancy but not worth to eat here..we order soup with cheese, it comes without cheese. Chicken was uncooked, fish was dry, they don’t serve bread even though it is included. They don’t clean the table, I have to remind waiters to clean 100 times, they brought wrong dessert and extra beers in check! Don’t forget to control your check, they can cheat you !!

    What was good: ambience was nice. What was bad: lots of things. The service was slow and took a long time to take our order. They also forgot to get multiple of the items we ordered and we had to ask multiple times to get them. Once the food came, it was mediocre at best. Everything tasted bland and was in desperate need of salt. The food definitely didn't live up to my knowledge and expectation of true Spanish cuisine. Calamari was bland and oil soaked The potatoes were mediocre The ham was the only plate that was ok The peppers were very tiny and cumbersome to eat, nothing extraordinary Chipirones were oil soaked too. Do not recommend

    Great atmosphere and food. However need to ensure the waiter gets the order correct as they sometimes bring out the wrong dish. Been here on four occasions. First two occasions excellent food. Second two occasions good to average. I wonder if the chef was different on the different occasions.

    It is OK if you have time. The service is slow and the menu is not that good. Like the chicken salad was missing chicken... So careful on your choice.

    oh my god! this place is a must! the food was well over top notch and it was soooooo cheap! i couldn't believe how high end the food was for that price :D 6 out of 5 stars!

    Quality food that was not too expensive ! Although the portion was not big, it gave us suprise and a different vibe on the flavour. This restaurant was recommended by the host in the hostle and was absolutely worth the price (€7-14 per course) Desert was ok but the ice cream is good.

    Wonderful, highly recommended! Close to our hotel, the U232, another wonderful place! Wanted oxtail for dinner but ran out so went with the "No work" pork ribs....delicious! The tender calamari Andalusia style was yum! As an after dinner treat, get the lemoncello!

    Honestly, I felt a bit disappointed tonight. It seems you can only eat menu if your whole table is ordering menu, so I wasn't able to order it :( But apart from that, the food is really nothing special... As some people said the steak is not very tender, and my salmon was about average. Yes, it's slow too, but you can guess it is from the outside. However, I must say the place is well decorated and I had a pleasant time with my family there.
