Overall, the food was quite tasty. I took off a star because the lobster was small. About the same size as the shrimp. Service was excellent. The waiter came by to check on us several times throughout the dinner along with I think the General Manager. Ambiance was very nice with second floor views of the streets. The photos are what we ordered and shared as family style. Definitely worth a revisit in the future.

Very good Spanish cuisine. We have been here before for my birthday a few years ago, but we had friends and family and came for lunch, ordered only lots of apps.
This time we came last night, just the 2 of us. It was Saturday night and we had made a reservation for 5pm a few hours before. Otherwise, we def would have had to wait a while for a table. We had:
6 Iberian oysters with gazpacho and pearls (fish eggs?) $30 – very good, decorated with mini edible flowers.
2 La gambas $8 – very tasty, little bacon wrapped shrimps deep fried in panko and skewered.
1 Lobster paella $62 – very good, flavorful, with shrimp and octopus. Chose the “crispy” version of rice (instead of “soft”).
1 Paella negra $48 – also tasty, but a little less, I think the squid ink “matte-ifies” the flavor some. With shrimp, scallops, clams and octopus. It was less salty and “bright” than the other. Chose “crispy” rice.
2 glasses red wine $38
1 La Flaca drink $16 – very good!
1 Flamenquita $16 – very good!
I took off a star for 2 reasons:
It was hard to hear the very nice waitress – she spoke softly and the place was packed with patrons and staff and was kind of loud.
Also, we received the check, and at the bottom, before the tax, was in all-caps and highlighted with marker: SERVICE CHARGE 20%. For 2 ppl? And then, when I did the calculations, they TAXED the entire meal AND 20% service charge too! (See pic). I was like NOPE, not gonna happen. When I showed the waitress, and explained that the service charge had been taxed, she could not explain. I told her that’s not acceptable, and she said something about it being not required, but it was PART of the check AND being taxed. So she came back with a new receipt, without the charge (see pic). And then we tipped 20% like usual (on the un-taxed amount).
We will def be back – I need to try more apps and for sure need to try the Prime Wellington and Ibérico Paella! Thank you for a great meal!

Teleféric Barcelona serves polished, flavorful Spanish plates, but my visit was undermined by how a service issue was handled.
Food highlights
– Paella Negra: Deep, briny squid-ink rice with perfectly cooked shrimp and clams; creamy aioli provided a bright counterpoint.
– Crab Croquetas: Crisp exterior and silky, well-seasoned crab interior.
– Wagyu Empanadas: Flaky pastry with a juicy, savory wagyu filling.
Service and incident
I found a hair in my drink. Staff repeatedly checked in afterward in a way that felt overbearing and made the situation uncomfortable rather than reassuring. Management did not offer a comp for the contaminated drink. Given the clear nature of the issue, I expected a discrete, manager-led resolution such as a refund or comp and a brief apology.
Ambiance note
The dining area is on the second story with an open-air terrace; it is NOT a rooftop. The space feels elevated without being on the building’s roof.
Verdict
Good technique and dishes, but the service recovery fell short. I would return if the restaurant addressed how managers handle contamination complaints and trains staff to resolve them discreetly.

This place never disappoints. The food is excellent and absolutely reminiscent of the tapas in Barcelona. It brings back fond memories of the place! The Jamon Iberico is a must! I also always like going with some sort of empanadas. We also recommend the Paella!

Cute spot. Food was good. The ahi tuna tacos were great and literally came out 30 seconds after ordering. Loud busy atmosphere on a Friday night. Not much on the menu for someone who doesn’t eat meat.

The service was amazing. Our sever was quick to refill our water and very attentive. The food was delicious overall; we especially enjoyed the Iberian oyster, which was very tasty and Paella negra. I just wish there were a bit more meat, but overall, it was a great experience. Just note that there’s an automatic 20% service charge added to the bill.

The food was fantastic! Everything we tried was delicious. We had the wagyu empanada, gambas al ajillo, paella mixta, and churros. The churros were free because we signed up as a member in open table, where we made our reservation. We will definitely be back!

Great location, great service and, most important of all, the food here are better than the food that we ate when we were in Barcelona last year. The Catalan Tomahawk was perfectly cooked and the broccolinis are the perfect side dish. The oysters, the octopus, the chicken Empanadas are all very good appetizers but the we didn’t care for the wagyu Empanadas much. The churros are a must for dessert. They were so good that we ordered a second serving. We live in San Francisco but we’re definitely coming back ASAP…
