Bar Tapas bar

😠 2 Frozen croquetas de gambas 5,5€ small caña (beer) 3,5€ neither Spanish beer. Service having lunch and people coming to the "restaurant" definitely do not deserve good reviews for this time. I am sorry as a Spanish foodie I will never come back. Just not fair! People often mention wine, tapas, good, atmosphere, guys, nice, great, staff,

    Stopped in for dessert and a drink, fine spot for that! Chocolate torte was great, good beer and wine selection. Check it out!

    The services it’s absolutely terrible and mean. Sunday 6th of November we went with 3 friends for a drink and we were “welcome” by a very rude waiter. She was clearly bother from the beginning and was aggressively placing everything on the table. One of us had a glass of wine which was clearly corked. The three of us are from wine regions so we do have at the very least a basic knowledge of wine. We asked for a change and the waiter took the glass of my hand and starting talking in Dutch about us with another 3 young dutch costumers/friends. They were extremely rude and they ignored the fact that one of us was dutch actually so it understood everything. Extremely disrespectful staff. I cannot recommend this establishment. as they stated " they were convinced that we just didn't like the taste of the wine and we just didn't know.

    My friends and I had a very uncomfortable experience here yesterday night. As soon as we walked in, we asked the bartender if you were closed and the bartender replied by saying youuwere only open for drinks because the kitchen was closed. After we took our seats, the server who served us appeared to be acting rudely and aggressively by taking the napkins from our table. Shocked by this, we still decided to order drinks and decided to brush off the uncomfortable situation that had just taken place. One of us ordered a red wine one, after taking one sip they had mentioned that the wine tasted a little corked, as three of us come from wine regions we know enough to know whether or not wine is corked. In saying that, you guys had responded to my friends review calling him out for “facts that aren’t true” because you guys had explicitly opened for his order, however, as anyone who possesses the basic knowledge of wines (like we do), we know wine CAN still be corked even when the bottle has been unopened from the point of arrival at a bar/cafe. So regardless, whether or not it was opened explicitly for his order, the wine was still corked. You guys claimed to have tasted the wine but we did not see any of you guys taste it. Furthermore, you responded to another friend of mine who left a review stating “maybe experienced a different atmosphere then normal therefore we are very disappointed that you would reflect this to us by providing a bad review and incorrect facts” however, it makes sense to base a REVIEW off of what WE had EXPERIENCED, after all, isn’t that what a review is based on? You mentioned that you guys were close to closing up but had no issue with us having a drink, however, the attitude we felt from the staff said otherwise. At the end of visit we all agreed that there was an unwelcoming energy from the bartender/waitresses and thought it may have been because it was late, so we checked the closing time and realised you guys do indeed close earlier than we stayed, which was kind of you guys to do but after the experience we had, we would have much preferred to have been turned away. Lastly, we are disappointed at your responses to our reviews. Rather than taking it as constructive criticism and taking it into account to improve your establishment, you tried to “debunk” or call us out from spreading false information which is absurd considering we were sharing OUR account of how things took place. To invalidate how WE experienced our visit is quite unprofessional to say the least. It is safe to say we will no longer be returning to this cafe.

    I never stayed at the hotel so I can't say anything about that. The food is fantastic, though.

    Cozy little tapas bar. Friendly staff, tapas dishes are tasty and of the usual size. 4-6 dishes is fine for two, depending on how hungry you are.

    We have been here a few times because we love the Spanish vibes, we normally live in Spain so this is a nice reminder of home.

    Many choices of tasty tapas… very nice atmosphere and pleasant staff!

    Ok tapas bar, no more no less. After reading the reviews had expected more. Had the deluxe tapas platter, except for the volume it didn't quite live up to its potential ;-) Cocktail mixup was dealt with professionally. More of a bar, not a cosy restautant, could be better.

    extremely rude staff! all of the waitresses were very abrupt. I stand corrected on the arrival time it was in fact 22:00 closing time however it would have been nice to be informed of this or simply turned away rather than feeling like an obstacle.Overall a very uncomfortable atmosphere for us. The reply is appreciated

    Excellent Tapas Restaurant! Great attention and fabulous food. Octupus was a boom of flavor!

  • 4/5 Pedro G. 1 year ago on Google
    The vongole (day special) was very good, the octopus and the meatball were OK. Overall nice meal and a nice place

  • 4/5 Eric van W. 5 years ago on Google
    Cute little authentic Spanish tapas bar. Not cheap, but the food certainly was good. However the portion sizes seem a little arbitrary. The chicken thigh was tiny, but the olives and patatas bravas in comparison absolutely ginormous. Overall would recommend, but ask about the individual portion sizes ahead of ordering.

    If you’re looking for a small piece of Spain in Maastricht, this is the place to be. Great tapas, great wines, fantastic people and a wonderful atmosphere. Truly exquisite!

😠 Worst attentiveness I have ever received in a cinema. Lack of humanity. Mocking of the clients. They gossip about the clients through their walkies. Horrible experience. Might as well buy the movie at home and watch it alone rather than having to go through such experience. Or go to another cinema....

😠 Worst place at the beautiful Vrijthof square. The young waiter let us wait for a while before being super rude asking for our drinks. While the order was clear we got served a beer we did not order which he returned. When we had to pay, the beer we did not order was on the receipt and he kept pushin...
