Very disappointed after reserving this place on the recommendation of Lonely Planet. The place is huge and quite impersonal. Our server never smiled and was not very helpful. The food was OK, but we had much better in more local places around Barcelona. After five days and many delightful meals, this was my least favorite.

The food was okay but not the best I've had in this city. The service could have been better as we got the feeling they didn't like tourists there as this... More

I went with some friends on Easter holiday 2013. So much excitement (and may be expectations) as it is the oldest restaurant in the city. First Impression, place was nice and cozy, the lady before the entrance were nice and welcoming. Next, it is very crowded. We were a little unlucky I guess, our waitress doesn't speak English and she... More
