Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Everything was fantastic. We had a paella that was delicious, as was our wine. We shared 2 desserts which were as pretty as they were delicious! The staff was so accommodating and friendly. Great evening!

The service is excellent although the options for vegetarians is very reduced. Also, the portions are very small for the price paid.

Went to this restaurant last weekend. Food was quite good. However, we had a really bad experience due to the unpolite staff. They could not even smile at us and did not warn us that if we ordered paella we would get a huge pan....We had ordered way too much food because of this and a lot of food was left over. An awful waste of food. In addition, the restaurant was supposed to be open until 1am, but we were informed at midnight that they were closing. We were suddenly given the bill without asking and even the candle was already removed from the table. When we addressed one of the staff about the service, they did not take this well by not listening to us at all but just getting defensive. I never leave reviews but have never experienced this. Do not go to this restaurant. The food is fine, but the people working there are horrible!More

The worst place you can go to in Barcelona. Employees are extremely rude, food is horrible, DJ is the worst you can get.

We arrived here at 830 and the hostess claimed there was no outdoor seating and there is only one spot left inside. It’s 10 o’clock now and the outdoor seating is 1/2 empty and so is the inside. The paella was bad. We ordered the...Japanese meat special. Had burned rice at the bottom and was not cooked well. For 60 euros a person it was inedible. 😞 Overall not a good experience. The appetizers were good. Had the fried squid with lime Mayo, bread and ham croquettes.More

The paella was absolutely disgusting. Had seafood one and it was gritty, salty and disgusting: rest of the food was wonderful. AVOID PAELLA at all costs.

Very nice place and well situated. Lovely views and nice inside or out. Always busy and a nice vibe to it. We had a delicious red tuna which we shared and later wished we'd had one each as it was delicious absolutely delicious. We then...shared a fish which we were told was wild but it certainly wasn't wild. However they didn't charge us for two beers or the desert which was lemon meringue pie which was one of the best I've ever had. Will definitely go back again and I would recommend it. I'd say some of the waiters could be a little bit more enthusiastic although the staff inside seemed very pleasant but on the whole each time we've been it's been a lovely experience. Many thanks JaneMore

This restaurant is located at the bottom of the W hotel sitting on the beach. asked for a table on the patio for a great ocean view and a relaxing lunch or dinner. The service was excellent with the manager visible in asking if anyone...needed anything.. We started with the sangria and had the tuna sashimi with Spanish almonds to start. It was amazing. There is a large selection of paellas and we tried the seafood.. it is for two but easily could be shared by three or four. Excellent paella served in a large pan and filled with seafood. We Definitely would go backMore

I will start by saying that the food was good. However... The service was awful. We sat down and ordered and we were nothing but polite and well behaved. The waiter serving us got our order wrong and had the worst attitude ive ever seen....I would not bother going to this restaurant.More

As I say in the title, the location is amazing! It's right on the beach and day or night, it's a lovely spot. We went at night and it was cool, but there were heaters that worked really well. The food was decent - they...say the paella is supposed to be the best, but it was just fine. It was also fairly $$ for Barcelona standards, but that is probably because it was at a hotel. The service was fair. But worth a trip, if just for the location.More

This charming spot is at the foot of our hotel W. We arrived late for lunch. The mussels - a mountain of them - were perfectly seasoned. The spinach & fennel salad was fresh and crisp, the avocado just perfectly ripe. I had to have...dessert since on vaca. The apple tart with ice cream was fabulous.More

I came to eat tapas. I told the waiter. I wanted to try a few things. He suggested the sea bass from the section clearly marked as 'Tapas'. The sea bass was double than my hand in length. It is NOT a tapa. Which meant...that I was not hungry for anything else so I only ate the fish. I later told the waiter that that was not a tapa, and why was it in the 'tapas' section. He laughed and said that it was a tapa 'to share' (I was on my own). Well a tapa to share is NOT a tapa! By definition it is a small dish. That was a main as it was very big. He laughed. Very annoying!More

Ordered 1 portion of a tapas starter and bought 4 because there were 4 of us! Argued with us...when we said we didn’t order. Food came cold.

You can contact the restaurant directly through their website and ask them these questions. I had a question as well, including one about our reservation, and they responded rather quickly.

It's really a restaurant, but as the reviewer above says you can sit on the terrace for great views. We didn't try to order drinks only. There's a bar in the W Hotel above it.
