We wandered to a bar and tried their egg whites with crab meat - their version of a deviled egg. They had a delicate flavor as can be expected. Now, the flan was extraordinary - smooth and creamy served with whipped cream. Perfection! I've tried many flans from various travels and this one ticked all the boxes! We also tried orange chocolate icecream from the kiosk at the entrance and it was delicious! If time permits, we will return!

Beautiful place -- the concept, the look, the decor... honestly, chef's kiss…read more The 2-hour window to eat and enjoy your meal kind of sucks, though, and it definitely makes you feel a bit rushed. I did love the concept of being able to grill your meat a little more if you prefer it that way. Unfortunately, I didn't have the best experience with the service. We were a table of 4 and wanted to share a few appetizers before getting our own main dishes. The server quickly shut us down and told us we were ordering too much food. We explained that we were very hungry, but he insisted we were asking for too much and actually refused to take our order. It turned into a bit of an uncomfortable argument because we simply wanted to order what we wanted to eat. Eventually, we had to reduce the number of plates we were ordering just so he would take our order. I ordered an appetizer, but when I tried to order my main dish, he again refused because he said it was too much food. At that point, I just decided to eat from my friend's plate instead. Then, after telling us we were ordering too much, one of my friends was still hungry and wanted to order the steak. Suddenly, the issue was that it was going to take too long to prepare. So first we were told we were ordering too much, and then when we wanted to add a steak later, we were told it would take too long. We eventually managed to order it, accompanied by a pretty obvious eye roll. And to top it all off, when we asked for dessert -- one each -- the server seemed genuinely shocked that four people wanted four desserts instead of sharing one. Honestly, the whole experience was just very weird and uncomfortable. I felt judged the entire time based on how much we wanted to order, and I've never had a server refuse to take my order because they thought I was ordering too much food. The food itself was good, but the service really took away from the experience. Between that and the strict 2-hour window, I'm not sure I'd go back or recommend it, which is a shame because the place itself is absolutely beautiful.

It's so smoky, the service is bizarre, the servers tried to offer us the check twice before our mains even arrived. The back half of this restaurant is so smoky, no one turns on the fans and everyone at our table ended up coughing. We left early and paid a bill for a meal we only half ate. Never again and I cannot imagine this being anywhere close to a 4 star meal.

A few years back I went on a "search for the best oysters" in Houston and the gulf coast. Over the…read moreyears, the habit has stuck with me to try the oysters wherever I go - when I'm by the water and the month is right. This little sit-down oyster bar (which sits in a "so tiny, you could miss it" restaurant space / next to-overlooking the boqueria food market) tops my list now. Super fresh decent-sized (with just the right amount of meat - not as big as meaty gulf ones, more meaty than baby northeastern ones) oysters served on ice w/ mignonette, lemon & your choice of hot sauce (go w/ the spicier Goya over the Tabasco) are incredibly fresh and packed w/ Fla or even if u like yours w/nothing on them. Doesn't hurt that it's combined with great, friendly service & reasonable prices. 9 euros for 3 oysters, a good glass of white wine, bread & butter. BOTTOM LINE: some of the freshest, best oysters going in town (& anywhere) served with Catalayun friendliness--& one of the best deals going in town too.
