    While we enjoyed the vibe of the place, we were not too thrilled with the very small portions, especially for the prices. I've been to several Spanish restaurants in my time and ordered tapas before, but never had such small portions. Even an order of a main dish was tiny. As I mentioned earlier, the prices are very high, including their corkage fee which is a ridiculous $35 per bottle. They also automatically add a 20% tip to your bill regardless of the service. Probably won't be going back.

    The service, quality of the food and value are all outstanding. The noise level is extremely loud and energetic. The automatic 20% added gratuity must be a sign of the times. Not certain exactly how I feel about that. Possibly time to rethink this. Guaranteed gratuity will ultimately cause service to suffer.

    If you are not a connoisseur or have eaten at Jose Andres Spanish restaurants, then you will find this an interesting place. The space was a bit too loud (a problem during the holidays when screaming kids are around) with open tables and little to dampen the sound a bit. Waiters & Manager staff were just fine, however, my wife and I did find the food a bit bland and starving for spice or flavor. I've had authentic Spanish food in Spain, and as mentioned we have had the good fortune of dining at Jose's Spanish restaurants so we are a bit spoiled. Good value for for money but nothing I'd recommend for a first impression date or such).

    The service was horrendous. We ordered 3 small bites. Told the server we had another arrangement and only had an hour. About 50 minutes pass and the food wasn’t put into the kitchen. The restaurant was about 30% capacity so there was no excuse. Would not recommend.
    Telefèric Barcelona - Walnut CreekResponded on December 10, 2024
    Hola Rachel, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience, especially regarding the service. We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait for your Tapas, especially after informing the server of your time constraints. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we’ll be addressing this with our team to ensure better communication and efficiency moving forward. If you’d like to share more details about your visit or talk about the service charge further, please feel free to contact us at info@telefericbarcelona.c... We truly value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to offer you a better experience next time. Gracias!

    We had a great time with our dinner last night. It was a birthday celebration for my wife. We first had drinks at the bar and the bartender was great and friendly. The drinks were delicious. The food was great also. The service we are happy with.
