We had reserved the bigger set menu. Found out that all the items on the menu were served. All 15 of them. We decided not to take the wine pairings. The wines by glass were very good. Service was very friendly.

Excellent value in an exquisite space! Service was a bit rushed even though there were tables available, and not as refined as I expected; however still good. Sommelier (woman with short blonde hair) was very good.

This is an exceptional food experience. We had the 13 course menu. Each small serving was a delight to eat and a piece of art. The price of the meal is very low for the quality of the menu. The staff were lovely and service was amazing. We will talk about this restaurant for a long time.

Mi puntuación no es la que me gustaría haber dado. Tuvimos una mala experiencia con uno de los platos del menú, y a pesar que nos sirvieron uno nuevo, la situación no mejoró. Nos ofrecieron cambiar a un nuevo plato, pero sinceramente ya nos habían pasado las ganas de más pruebas. No obtuvimos ninguna compensación por el hecho que hubo dos personas que no pudieron disfrutar del menú, ni tampoco pudimos hablar directamente con el chef. Sí que tengo que decir que el personal de sala fue muy atento.

This is a marvelous prix fixe restaurant and the main dining room is gorgeous. All offerings were beautifully presented and tasty! The wines selected for tasting were excellent - most especially from Catalan. Many fish base d dishes per the region. Great experience for the price and worth luxuriating in.

Fuimos un día laborable al mediodía y pudimos aprovechar el menú de 35 € que ofrecen. La comida muy buena y el servicio excelente. Lo que no me gustó es que en ningún momento nos dijeron que si queríamos comer en la sala principal, teníamos que pedirlo con antelación y que si éramos más de 4, tampoco podíamos comer en esa sala. Traté de no diagustarme porque quería pasar un buen rato con mis amigos que habían venido de Venecia y a quienes ya les había dicho que comeríamos en un lugar espectacular pero salí bastante frustrada. Comimos en una sala donde está la chimenea que hasta perdió su gracia con las 6 mesas que allí colocaron.

Estimada Beatriz, Gracias por dejar su comentario. Nos alegra saber que disfrutó de nuestra comida y del excelente servicio que ofrecemos. Lamentamos que no haya podido comer en la sala principal, ya que es cierto que para grupos de más de 4 personas y para asegurar disponibilidad, es necesario reservar con antelación. Agradecemos su comprensión y tomaremos en cuenta su comentario para mejorar la comunicación con nuestros clientes en el futuro. Nos complace que haya pasado un buen rato con sus amigos y esperamos que la sala donde comieron, aunque no era la principal, haya sido de su agrado en cierta medida. Nuestro objetivo es brindar una experiencia única y memorable a todos nuestros visitantes. Nos despedimos cordialmente, quedando a su disposición para volver a recibirle cuando lo desee. Atentamente,

The weekday lunch menu for 35 EUR including water and a glass of house wine was good value and we received snacks and sweets on the house in addition to the 3 courses. We arrived a few minutes early and were told to wait in the lobby. At 13.02 staff was still conducting their briefing in the restaurant. There were many waiters running around creating some noise on the hardwood floor and our table was served by multiple different persons which created a bit of a busy atmosphere. Tables could do with some decoration, e.g. at least a candle or small flower. Overall great food and good value, but not fully the refined luxury experience we had hoped for.

The menu was heavily fish based, however for my first experience dining at such a restaurant it was a taste sensation. The service was second to none and food was delightful. Quite pricey, but this was to be expected.

We made the reservation for a set menu which turned out not be available for the time we made the reservation. The menu options were all fixed and there were no options. I would not have chosen the restaurant had I known that. The set menu we selected was varied but there were only about 30% of the items I would have cared for. I would not recommend this if you do not like fish or not adventurous. The service was okay, not what it should be for the level of cuisine they are serving. The plates were very elaborate but not so flavorful. We left disappointed.
