A wonderful place with a stunning view — the atmosphere is truly impressive. The food was overall very good: everything was tasty and well prepared. Special thanks to the manager, who recommended the dishes of the day and even accommodated requests for items that were not on the menu. That level of service made a great impression. The only downside was that the tea took a very long time to arrive, which left our guests a bit disappointed. Hopefully, this can be improved, as everything else about the place was excellent

⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Decent seafood, but service needs some work** We had a nice lunch at this fish restaurant overall, and the food was genuinely good. The paiela was fresh and flavorful. Nothing blew us away, but we enjoyed what we ate. The only real downside was the portion sizes — they were quite moderate, leaving us a little hungry by the end of the meal. Unfortunately, the service was the weakest part of the experience. Our waiter seemed very inattentive and forgot to bring several items we asked for. He also got my wife's tea order completely wrong — she asked for camomile tea but received black tea instead. He wasn't rude, just distracted and slow to check on us throughout the meal. The atmosphere is pleasant and the location is great, which is why we're still giving it 4 stars. The food quality saves it, but they really need to tighten up the service if they want to earn that fifth star.

The service was poor. The restaurant was empty, but we were only offered a table near the exit. After we insisted, they seated us near the window.

There were 14 of us that came to dinner - all from the USA and Colombia. The food was delicious, the service was incredible- they accommodated seven different checks and the waiters didn’t flinch and seemed happy to take care of us- and patiently accommodated all our needs! Everyone was impressed! Beautiful restaurant too! Highly recommend!

Great view. Sea view.

Unfortunately, our dinner at this restaurant was disappointing, both in terms of food and service. It’s clear that this place is geared toward tourists. The salmon and tuna tartares were inedible, overwhelmed with vinegar. The octopus slightly improved the situation, and the fish baked in salt was generally edible. At the end, we ordered pistachio and vanilla ice cream, but they brought us chocolate and vanilla instead. They claimed the pistachio was mixed with chocolate, which seemed quite strange.

Premise: I live here and been to this restaurants many times over the years. This last experience was ok but not up to expectations for many reasons. Waiters talking loudly to each other, one calling the other maricón jokingly. The food was not as good as other times and definitely not for that price range. Finally, the waiter brings the bill and stresses that tips are not included.

The beachfront location was perfect for eating seafood. The squid ink paella, sautéed clams, and octopus from Garcia were all delicious. There was a Japanese menu for Japanese customers, and the staff were friendly.

This is our first dinner at BCN with my family, we are a group from Hongkong. The sea view is very beautiful and the foods are great. We will come again and recommend to friends.

Great food, serving a variety of seafood hard to find elsewhere. Not as expensive as expected.

The ambience was nice with a beautiful view of the sea. Our waiter was terrible and pushy. He threw the bill on the table and asked us for a tip. He said he was in hurry to leave for the night and reminded us twice “the bill didn’t include his tip”. His service was not worthy of a tip, but we gave him a tip anyway since he seemed desperate. As soon as we set our amount on the table, he came over and grabbed it. We were still sitting at the table. There was hardly anyone at the restaurant. I understand why. The food was average.

The fish I had, a Sole, was probably off because I had an upset stomach the morning after.

Restaurant has lovely view and service - the paella for Group of 6 was average - nothing special - and we came the this place for paella . We had a nice night but food was ok. My son and his friends did not rave about it .
6.0
Reasonable food but clearly focussed on tourists. Price quality is far out of proportion, very overpriced. Service is passive and ambiance inside, upstairs is canteen like. Not going here again

Wonderful location with wonderful views. The service was both gracious and attentive. The food was very good – particularly the fresh anchovies and the galacian clams. My only quibbles was the Dover sole was so slightly over done and the prices can only be justified by the view.
