    This is my second time there. Our waiter seemed uninterested with us, but luckily the manager or owner took over and brought us that incredible experience. The original waiter didn’t make any recommendations, didn’t suggest portions sizes like when I’ve been there before. The manager/owner who took over was great when it came to the 20% gratuity fee to ensure we didn’t tip extra. The food is incredible, I love the atmosphere. I’ll bring people here, just hope the one waiter was having an off day.

    What a fabulous place! From the service, to the cocktails, to the tapas and dessert it was excellent. The sangria flight was a new twist. My only critique would be that they should not advertise scallops in the squid ink paella considering there were only 4 microscopic scallops.

    Saw the restaurant featured on "Check Please, Bay Area!" and thought it would be a really fun place to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday. Unfortunately, we felt rushed by the lead server, atmosphere was somewhat underwhelming ( not as festive as it appeared on the show) but it was a Monday night, tapas were good, both the steak and shrimp paella were dry and over cooked. The servers did bring a small cupcake with a candle which was nice.

    Hola Tony, Thank you for choosing us to celebrate such a special occasion. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t match the expectations set by our appearance on "Check Please, Bay Area!" and that the atmosphere and food quality didn’t meet your standards. We apologize for making you feel rushed, as we always want our guests to feel relaxed and enjoy their time with us. We also regret that the paella wasn’t up to par and appreciate your feedback, which we will review with our team. We're glad that you appreciated the birthday dessert with a candle, and we hope that despite the challenges, your wife had a memorable birthday celebration. Gracias!

    We waited 20 minutes for drinks and an appetizer. Our server failed to tell us what was going on and we were getting ready to leave when the drinks appeared, so we stayed. Patatas Bravas were great, crab croquettes had little or no crab, shrimp were OK, and meatballs good not great. Prices seem high for what we got.
    Telefèric Barcelona - Walnut CreekResponded 4 days ago
    Hola Michael, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the delay in receiving your drinks and appetizer, and for the lack of communication from your server. At Telefèric Barcelona, that’s certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating this must have been. We're glad to hear that the Patatas Bravas and meatballs were enjoyable, but we regret that the crab croquettes and shrimp didn’t meet your expectations. We’ll be looking into the issues you mentioned to improve the consistency of our dishes. We also understand your concern about the pricing, and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us. We hope you’ll give us another chance to deliver a more positive experience in the future. Gracias!

    We ordered 5 small plates, 1 main plates & 2 cocktails. With the 20% build-in gratuity, total came to $170. From the top, it took close to 10 minutes for our server to show up to greet our table. Service was courteous and attentive overall however; food was lackluster. Over-seasoned (salty) octopus and over-fried Schnitzel (hard hard crust and extra dry on the inside). Crab croquettes were all aioli no crab. Salmon was over-cooked and tasteless. Look like it was dunked in the deep fryer for too long. Tuna Taco and prawns in citrus sauce (oil?) were average. I recalled food quality and flavor at this location several years back were descent. No this time unfortunately.

    Hola DM, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're truly sorry to hear that your visit did not meet the expectations you had based on past experiences. We take your feedback seriously, especially about the over-seasoned octopus, over-fried schnitzel, and the lack of crab in the croquettes. At Telefèric Barcelona, this is certainly not the standard we strive for, and we will be addressing it with our kitchen team to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Regarding the service charge, we understand your concern and apologize if it wasn’t clearly communicated. As noted on our menu and website, the service charge helps support fair wages for our team. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide you with a better experience next time. Gracias!
