Very bad service, and I suspect they were racist. My friends and I are Asians .They serve people (Tourists but skin white) who came after me even they saw me wave at them (ignored me several times). And after I paid my bill I wanted to ask a drink to take away, so I waved at them to order, but they totally ignored me! They saw me but they just kept serving others! I sat and waited until I lost my patience. The food didn't worth the price! I ordered Gambas ajillo which is 18.5€(After 50% discount is 9.25€), but only had 7 shrimps! That was the most expensive gambas ajillos that I have had in Barcelona (I live here for 2 years, had gambas ajillo more than 50 times!)! Besides, the Risoto de setas was only a small portion. The worst even!

I really don’t get the bad reviews on other sites… we had a great experience with the restaurant! Tapas were great, tried calamari, chorizo and seafood paella for 2 persons. Wine was great as well!
