We reserved and all fine until they make us wait for 25 minutes in the table. Nobody came to take the order, even after called the waiter twice, they did not showed up, not even a glass of water, and the restaurant was almost empty. That happend 06/26/18. It was my fiance's birthday, we had to move to another reataurant after have all prepared. Very very bad sevice read more

There are better restaurants in Barcelona. Here you are paying for a nice view a classy atmosphere and good but not exceptional food. At a premium due to its location read more

Presents itself as a higher end seafood restaurant but the service (good but not great) doesn't quite hold up. Good food, large wine selection, with room for larger groups and business dinners. Dined there twice but will likely visit another establishment for our next business dinner. read more

From the outside the restaurant leaves a great impression. Great location and dining atmosphere. However, the food does not match expectations. Not even close to the best seafood I have ever had and the rice in the paella was undercooked. For the price point, definitely not worth it. Overall, the contrast between the atmosphere and the food left me feeling underwhelmed. read more

Good for a moment until a cockroach flew out of the air ventilations and fell on our calamari a la romana. Disgusting, we stayed after because we had ordered a lot of food and didnt want to cancel it because we felt bad but makes you wonder how hygiene and clean the kitchen is. The food is really good and tasty though if you dont mind those things. read more

Over-priced tourist restaurant. The food was mediocre at best. The sea bass had a "fishy" taste-definitely not fresh.

This place is amazing. The food, view, and service are exceptional. Highly recommended to anyone who travels to Barcelona. We tried most of the starters from the menu and the paella. Everything was delicious and well presented. read more

Rude staff and underwhelming food. We, a group of six, ordered a variety of offerings from the menu yet nothing was very pleasing. Moreover the staff were quite uncoordinated and at one point one of the male waiter janked a water bottle from my hand as I was pouring my self some water and carried on to pour it himself and left without a word. How utterly disrespectful. Perhaps they are more friendly if you are a native... Do not recommend. read more

It is definitely an expense account joint. However, their location and the setup as well as the professional service and the quality of food warrant the prices, which are really not that much more than a similar restaurant in the US. If you are a starving student, or traveler on a tight budget, surely look elsewhere. I sat at a table looking out to the marina on a warm autumn evening and had a plate of octopus salad, which had a very off, slimy texture. It wasn't that the octopus was ill prepared, just an acquired taste, i guess. Yes, I had to wait for a good twenty minutes to be served, but after I asserted myself nicely, the service was impeccable. I was alone and they let me order half of anything I wanted, prepared me a nice seafood paella. Over all, I enjoyed the luxury of being in a chic locale. The food is secondary, but not bad at all. read more

PROS Nice view on terrace CONS Impersonal, inefficient service Average food for top dollar price. SUMMARY Feels like a food factory and you are a cog in the wheel. Try Boca Grande on Passage De Conception instead. It was about the same price and a great experience. read more

Came here on my last day in Barcelona because everyone said it was really good and the Paella was the best. Waiters were not nice. The Paella was not what I expected but it wasn't bad either. Super pricy for the quality of food I expected. read more

I read the reviews on Barceloneta and decided to give it a try. It was our first dinner in Barcelona and I was a little nervous as we were walking toward dinner as we passed by numerous restaurants on the sidewalk with waiters/waitresses trying to pull you in for dinner. My husband and I were thinking, oh we hope that is not our restaurant that we are going to! Luckily Barceloneta is across this busy street and is actually right on the water and is almost secluded making it a very scenic place to have dinner. Service was a little slow in the beginning, we were seated and it seemed like it took at least five minutes for any waiter to acknowledge our presence. However, once we did get the waiter's attention, we were pleasantly surprised by how quick and attentive the service was afterwards. The credit for this goes to the younger wait staff as it seems there is one main person taking orders and then other waiters take over in getting your orders to you. We were impressed by the freshness of our seafood. I ordered the salmon and monk fish carpaccio for a started and my husband ordered the iberico jamon. The jamon was delicious! Also each table gets an order of freshly made toasted tomato bread which is amazing. We asked for another order because our table loved it so much. My husband ordered the seabass tarter which was delicious and I ordered the octopus. My parents ordered the cod fish and tuna steak which were both excellent. Plus the detail and care they take into deboning the fish in front of you was appreciated and entertaining for us since we are used to deboning our own fish. :) All in all we had a great time here and would recommend it as a nice dinner out. read more

Good wine. Great views. Amazing food.

Meh. Crowded chain-like restaurant. Borderline rude wait staff. Food was a bit bland. This one is a tourist trap in my opinion.

Barcelonins say that this place has the best paella in town. It certainly has good paella, but the price is too high. And the place is very crowded and touristy. We recommend that you reserve a table before going and ask for a table with a view of the sea. read more

Very nicely decorated. Service was excellent. The food was delicious. A little bit pricey but hey, I was having a wonderful holiday with my daughter in a fabulous city, so it was worth every penny to me!!! read more

it is a bit hidden from the main drag if you follow google map directions - we walked down the street not sure if we were going the right way - better to enter from the other side from the shoreline walk restaurant was great - good food and great service read more

We thought the main dishes were excellent and the ambiance was very open and airy with a view of the bay. We didn't find the servers friendly or helpful, which is why we scored it as we did. read more

Sunday night at 7pm, no reservation? No problem here, very gracious service. Excellent terrace water view, good service- not hovering but available. Food was outstanding, really everything we had was fantastic. Lovely meal, view and experience! Recommend! Was completely full by 8pm, so be warned that you would need reservations. read more

there are much much better places for the money. prices here are 2x more than other 'famous' places in Barcelona. Another reviewer mentioned super salty paella. yup. got it, salty as f--k. seafood on it was bland. i like al dente but this rice was a bit too hard. my bowels will not be happy later. my kidneys will not appreciate having to work overtime with all that sodium. their plate jamon was 24 euros but not the best. their pan con tomate was really good though! oh, had to send back 2 plates of clams because there was so much sand they were not edible. came back with a plate of cockles. like, 8 cockles. for 15 euros. which were good but preparation-wise, nothing special - salt and olive oil. squeezed lemon on top. for 15 euros. was thinking about getting dessert too but didn't wanna chance it. i usually don't care about price if the food is good. but if i'm gonna eat shitty food, don't make me feel doubly bad by eating shit food and grossly overpaying. read more

We got the recommendation from our tour guide man from Madrid to come here. We went there for lunch on our first day to Barcelona. Amazing location by the old port and great service. They're famous for their paella dishes and seafood. Everything we ordered was great and met our expectation. It was so good, we're going back for dinner on our last night in Barcelona to try different dishes. Highly recommend this restaurant to all. read more

The food was brought after half the party had finished their meals. We ordered a seafood soup and tasted like a canned tomato soup with 2 pieces of clams for $14 euros. The service wasn't all great either. I have no idea how this place has 4 stars. Our concerns were brought to the attention of the manager and nothing was done due to the fact that they were all "busy" this place is not recommend read more

After being highly recommended by both our concierge and trip advisor my wife and I were expecting quite an authentic and impressive tapas experience. Upon arriving the atmosphere looked pleasant, the menu extensive with options, and the plates in the kitchen window exciting. Though we will say the service was fast, it was impersonal at best. Of the plates we ordered (croquettes, cannelloni and steamed rock mussels) none are memorable. They all lacked flavor - bland is our kindest review. Though the dessert was the highlight, the kitchen had already set a low bar. read more

The food, we had all seafood, was very good, however they brought out all of the food at once and rushed us through dinner pushing us to finish. I believe they rushed us because the kitchen closed 30 minutes after we arrived. I would recommend this for the food and view, however I would caution to tell the waiter to stagger the meal and you don't want to be rushed. read more

The quality of food is definitely good here. I ordered pan con tomate and big oysters as starters. pan con tomate was tasty but oysters were just okay not definitely worth the price(5-6 euros for one piece). Paella was okay too. The main courses here( meat and fish) were really good and should be given for five stars. Only thing I am not happy with is the service here. Maybe I got spoiled by all the fancy restaurant back to United States but it did take me 15mins to wait for waiters came and order food not to mentioned that during this time I even got ignored by one of the waiters here. Anyway, after waiter came everything got better. All in all it is a really good restaurant from a tourist's view. read more

Why can such a HORRIBLE seafood restaurant get a 4 star?! Service is Horrible! This is the worst restaurant I have ever been. Atmosphere is super weird. It does not feel like a high-end restaurant. Food is fine and definitely overpriced. Anyway, BAD service, BAD food! read more

Eat here twice in 3 days. Tuna tartar was excellent. Paella was also very good. Make a reservation as they get crowded. They are also one of the few restaurants to open earlier in the evening. Nice outdoor balcony. Restaurant was very accommodating of gluten allergy read more

The appetizers were good, however, the main courses were highly disappointing. Expensive and with little flavor.

For an appetizer I ordered calamari and gambas in garlic and it didn't have much taste. Then I ordered a paella and it was a very tiny portion. It was not even 1 cup of rice in total. Maybe I got 3 shrimps and 1 piece of fish. I would not recommend this place. read more

The paella was very bad and not worth the money. Service was not great. The entire dining experience was not good. With so many great restaurants this was a disappointment. read more

They say you can't have a bad meal in Barcelona. YES YOU CAN! --At Barcelonta. The experience was bad from beginning to end. * Rude staff. * Sangria was watered down and had no flavor. * Shrimp "snack" was 6 small shrimp for 30 Euros * Seafood Paella had a total of 2 small pieces of lobster and 2 calamari rings * Meat & Vegetable Paella had almost no meat and was mostly bones. Only vegetable in dish was peas. Rice tasted no better than Rice-A- Roni, Entire meal was extremely underwhelming and overpriced. Recommendation: Stay Away read more

I really liked this place. I didn't get a really good impression when I got into the front door. But my gazpacho was amazing! I can tell the same about the pulpy and the Catalan cream (they were really kind to divide one desert in two plates). Not a fancy restaurant but the food was very good! I would recommend to a friend. read more

Very nice serving staff, Great food. The meat paella was excellent. The fideuà (tried it for the first time) was excellent. The minimum 2 person, 1 kg steak was very tasty too (its served in a cast iron plate/pan do you can further cook if you want it more than rare /medium rare. The sangria tasted more like just a small glass of red wine. Sangria taste varies so much in Barcelona from restaurant to restaurant. Great view from the restaurant too! They have great tomato brushed bread as an appetizer. I loved that it was thin and crispy. One of the best I had tried in Barcelona. read more

amazing. cant say enough. we got a table right away on our last night in Barcelona. our waiter brought and brought, we ate and ate. the last item we ate was the salt encrusted sea bass. OMG. my favorite is the black paella. explosion of flavor. Sitting upstairs in a "patio" like area watching the sun set was the perfect last night in a beautiful city. read more

Incredible quality seafood, but a little pricy. I would recommend eating here at least once if you are on vacation. I order a salad with prawns and was not disappointed. The salad was substantial in size and the service was beyond my expectations. read more

Bad fish this place is more of a scam for tourists instead of an actual establishment and its prices were high for a restaurant and the experience was terrible overall read more
