We were there on a Thursday night and there was only one other couple dining so very quiet and obviously the waiters were very attentive. It was a gift card from our daughter so it was a real treat. Would recommend for both the view and the food. It was delicious!

My plate wasn't completely hot. The protein was hot while the slices potatoes were cold. The plate was missing something. I felt like I only ate a piece of lamb... My boyfriends meat was overcooked and the sauce on top didn't go well woth the meat. The mash potatoes has way too much cheese The view was ruined by the lights inside. Made too much glare and it the view couldn't be appreciated. Appetizer and service were good

We had great expectations but were extremely disappointed. The food overall was bland and lacked depth, especially the seafood paella. The sirloin steak was ok - some flavor but on the tough side, and the pudding was the Basque cheesecake dropped onto the plate with little finesse. On the plus side, the recommended wine was good. A shame as we had high expectations and it was off season so not very busy. Overall a disconnect between the reputation and what we p[aid vs what we got.

View and service were good. The bugs in the restaurant were annoying and the food failed to meet any expectations. Pricing was high and a tourist trap. Most expensive meal we've had in 2 weeks of travel through Spain and Portugal.

I made a reservation for the terrace. I put a note in the comments field stating we wanted to be on the terrace. I stopped by the restaurant a week before my reservation to confirm. Upon arrival we were told that they were cold and closed the terrace. Truthfully, it wasn't cold. It appeared that they didn't have enough reservations. They should have called me to communicate the change to my reservation so I could have decided if I still wanted to dine there. I live locally and usually bring my friends here for the view and terrace. Will find a new place now.

Paella was a bit bland and lacked flavour. Staff very friendly and complimentary gazpacho as well as ham which was a nice touch. Restraunt gorgeous with the most incredible view.

Fish and chips are horrible. Grilled sole was good. Reserved outdoor seating and they put me in the deep interior. Biggest attraction of this restaurant is the view and the only view I had was of the kitchen.

Solid food, gorgeous view (which is what you'll be paying for). That said, we enjoyed it.

A wonderfull experience: very good food and service.

The service and staff was nothing short of excellent. The reception and attention left a really nice experience. The food in general was good. The only catch was the clams which had a bad taste, but when we made the staff aware, the dish was removed, the plates and cutlery was changed, and they didn’t charge the dish. All in all, I really recommend visiting this pearl. Remember to visit around sunset to get both the day and night view of Barcelona.

thank you for the amazing experience!

The view from El Xalto takes one’s breath away, but the service was condescending and the food unimaginative at best. We were probably underdressed, and striving to focus on plant-friendly choices from the menu. The steamed vegetables with seaweed mayonnaise was undoubtedly the least interesting vegetarian dish we ate during a month-long trip. The welcome staff upstairs and the woman who served our coffees were friendly and warm, but the primary wait staff made clear we didn’t merit their service. We ate in other high-end restaurants on this trip and had no other similarly negative experiences.

4 out of 6 of us ordered steak. All steaks were way under cooked from the temperature that was ordered. I sent mine back and it came back still about 2 temperatures undercooked.

nice service
3.0
This is a totally tourist trap. The food was terrible, overpriced and small portions - except the paella, which was barely edible. The service was rude. They never smiled and seemed appalled with the slightest question or request. It was also practically empty - and depressing. They even charge for bread. The view is totally not worth the rest of the horrible.

Our food was so delicious, it was our first meal in Barcelona and boy did we pick the fanciest place in town ( in our opinion). I ate the prawn and monkfish cannoli and the flavours were really really good, I definitely had room to share my daughter’s traditional paella, which was definitely amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing and being surrounded by a fabulous ambiance and the night time views were incredible of the city we were yet to explore.
