The first night when we were walking around our hotel in Barcelona, we ran into this place. However, we didn't have a reservation and the waiting time was over 1.5 hours. Hence, the following day we made reservations and went with a bigger group. Unfortunately, as we had other plans we had to rush. Therefore only ordered 2 items and some Cava.

The service was good. The tapas were definitely fresh and delicious. Wished we were able to spend a little more time but glad we at least got to try some tapas. Would love to visit again the next time we are in Barcelona.

We enjoyed the atmosphere of sharing food with our friends. Recommend to visit this place but please keep in mind they get busy, so reserve in advance.

Initially we wanted to have some cocktails so we were chatting with the security personnel (very helpful And friendly) and we were told that while we have drinks they could arrange a table for dinner. We had a large group but they were good at getting a table ready for us within about 45 minutes. It worked out perfectly as we were enjoying some cocktails upstairs on the premises.

When it came to service, it wasn't consistent. Some staff were extremely friendly and had a great attitude while some lacked even a smile. The place has a great ambience along with good food but the lack of consistency in good service was noticeable and hopefully will be rectified as it affected the overall experience.

This isn't a place to dine at if you are on a budget. It is recommended to make a reservation and dress up to visit this place to keep up with the atmosphere. The extensive selection of wines and cocktails will not disappoint you.
While walking on the streets of Barcelona, we came across this fantastic restaurant. We decided to walk and we were greeted by a friendly member of the staff. They were quite full but we were lucky to get a table within about 10 minutes of waiting.

Our server was fantastic. Unfortunately, we have misplaced his name but he was a young gentleman from Egypt full of energy and passion for his work. He took the time to explain the menu and constantly checked on us. He was always smiling and very eager to assist with any questions you had.

The food was delicious and made the whole experience worthwhile. The restaurant has a very cosy atmosphere, along with great dishes and a selection of wines and fantastic service.

The steak was cooked to the perfect temperature with lots of flavor. The fish dish and the starters were definitely mouthwatering.

Recommend this restaurant to anyone either living or visiting Barcelona. Thanks for the fabulous experience we had.

The previous time in Madison, we couldn't dine here as we didn't have a reservation and they were full. Therefore, we ensured to make a reservation this time. We walked in and were greeted in a friendly manner by the hostess. As we were a bit early for our reserved time, we decided to have a drink at the bar. Jay-Z (spelling?) was fantastic. He acknowledged us right away and gave us time to decide on our cocktails. He addressed us by our names and certainly set the tone for the rest of the evening. we didn't feel the same level of friendliness from the waitress but she was average. The food was delicious but we felt the menu was a bit limited. However, we enjoyed the total experience. The ambience of the restaurant is great with a view of the Capitol Building. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Reservations are recommended especially during the weekend.
Decided to try this place while visiting Toronto. Was truly disappointed by the roll as it seems way too hard and didn't seem to be fresh. The rice and curry was average and portion size was good. They didn't have any seating inside. Seems like they only do take out unless you want to eat while standing as they did have a small counter top. Due to the overall experience, will not visit again.
