    I have a lot of Spanish friends who are purists and are rightfully appalled by the over-complicating and over-pricing of tapas served here. That being said: the food is excellent (albeit rich) and the service and vibes are great.

    Croquetas were cold in the middle, paella bomb was missing flavor, chicken parmiggiana was so tough and dry it was inedible. Kudos though, to the server who gave my daughter a lot of extra black truffle. He was great.
    Telefèric Barcelona - Palo AltoResponded on February 24, 2025
    Hola, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m really sorry to hear that your experience wasn’t up to the standard we strive for. It’s disappointing to hear that the croquetas were cold in the middle and that the paella bomb and the pollo parmigiana didn’t meet your expectations. We'll be sure to share your comments with our kitchen team to address these issues and make sure the quality is improved. On the positive side, we're glad to hear that your server was able to make your daughter’s experience a little better with the extra black truffle! We’ll be sure to recognize their effort in going the extra mile. We’d love to have another chance to provide you with a better experience. Gracias!
