We were staying in the Hotel Sehrs just down the road and this was a a 2 minute walk so easy peasy!!!! We showed up around 9:30PM and got a table for four inside which was great. We all got some drinks, mixture of beer and wine which was all priced well! For our entrees we all tried different things but I got the combination with flank steak, croquetas, fries and salad. It was a huge plate for a great price! Everything was delicious and simple not to mention our waiter was amazing! He gave us each a shot of a Galician liquor on the house which was a great way to end a stressful day. Wish we had the chance to stop by one more time while there.

It was the prelude to a very sound siesta. I scanned a few listings in another publication and what stood out to me were the multiple references to this being a favorite place for locals. Servantis is easy to find and has exceptionally efficient service that never makes you feel rushed or neglected. The handsome building was packed with locals, most of them seem to be taking the traditional hearty lunch. The food was delicious and generously served. Service was prompt and attentive. Most choices are Catalan specialties, presented in a matter-of-fact manner utterly free of preciousness or pretentiousness. A wonderful find, especially because it perfectly fit my needs at that moment,

There still was a line to get upstairs. Staff accommodated us with a table that had a view. A lot of young people purchased soda or 6£ drafts, No one ordered dinner, everyone was given spicy bar snacks. All were chain smoking & there were clouds of smoke on all sides of us. By at 8:00 the rooftop emptied. We shared a 30€ sangria & expensive ham & cheese sandwich with 4 fries. Our order was lost and then took a half an hour to get our sandwich. The sangria was tasty we had a glass and a half each but there wasn't much alcohol in it. This was the most expensive bill we had in Barcelona & it wasn't a meal. We realize we are paying for the view & sunset.

Great for an afternoon drink after the beach.

Right next door to our hotel, it was so convenient to stumble back (quietly) afterwards after so much excellent wine. The meal was first-rate, service was as tremendous as could be given that most of the restaurant was taken up with an enormous private party, which they made up for with complementary wine (always welcome) and seating us above in our own semi-private alcove, complete with a little library of old books to entertain ourselves. We left feeling like we experienced a real bit of Barcelona, and some of the best and thoughtful food we'd eaten to date. Love, love, love.
