Finding a last minute spot for a party of 7 for Mother's Day/birthday is challenging so we were happy when we stumbled upon this spot on open table. We found parking on the street but you still have to pay at the meters on a Sunday. Valet was $15 for the first 2 hours. When we got there staff was very friendly and welcoming and we were seated within 10min. The space is trendy and modern and they have a little market right next to the restaurant. Menu offers tapas, paella, greens and main dishes. We were told paella takes about 30min but it came out within 15min. Everything we ordered off the menu was exceptional and we were left very satisfied. Patatas bravas have a little kick to them which we loved. Crab croquettes were soft and melted in your mouth. Paella mixta was so flavorful and the medium was more than enough for all of us. Brussels sprouts wee good but ai would probably skip it next time. Wagyu empanadas were also a must! Overall amazing experience and can't wait to come back!! read more

I don't understand where the disconnect came from - better paella in Spain and on the east side of LA - I wanted so wanted to love this place, but it reminded me nothing of Spain. I have tasted much better paella's here in Los Angeles. Although I was extremely disappointed when served our orders, this was below even what we have in LA. Ambience amazing the reflection of stars has nothing to do with the service whatsoever. Actually our service was excellent. It was the food that ruined the experience. This is recently not uncommon in LA. We ordered the patatas bravas, camarones alijillo... I understand that every restaurant has to put their spin on it but this was really missing the mark... since when do we put a aioli sauce in paella or even on potatoes. Yuk!! Amsterdam, maybe but not in seafood. Also chimichurri on shrimp wow this is super new - I ordered paella in Spain at least 20 times and I've never seen it like this. Sangria excellent! Paella 5/10 - I know that they are cooking the seafood whilst still having the paella come out al dente - but our seafood was severely overcooked not much lobster, and a very thin layer of paella - incredibly disappointed, although it was date night and that made it great. I would not recommend this restaurant for paella. It has a great atmosphere. Good drinks nice atmosphere. I know this sounds terrible, but I'm just going to have to go back to La paella for the time being since a few of the restaurants that we frequent have closed - so we will see how long this lasts. Off to look for more restaurants with excellent paella. We definitely have a lacking here in the prime Westside. read more

I love this spot in my neighborhood! So delicious and great ambiance. Anyone who doesn't enjoy this spot is missing the point. Enjoy some tapas and then you must get the paella.

Terrific place to celebrate my friends birthday! It definitely brought me back to Barcelona. Loved the decor and the staff was great. I always enjoy being able to share food and boy did we order well! My favorite was between the wagu empanada and the crab croquettes. I'm glad we went with the mix paeota. I loved the mojito drink I got with mango flavor. So refreshing! read more

Ambiance 5/5: it's a trendy Spanish tapa place located in Brentwood area, small valet parking lot on the same street, then very limited street parking nearby. The restaurant establishment is very quiet inside, with few divided sections for dine in experience, window seats and bar counter stool near the entrance, then the major dining hall, and there's a smaller and separated room along the walkway to restroom. I really like their vibrant vibes, colorful but not overwhelming, meantime chill and relaxing, their interior design has utilized the daylight well, stylish decoration ceiling lights and artistic elements. Service 2/5: most servers were friendly and attentive, served water and cleaned the table adequately, although not all are professional and knowledgeable about their food. The kitchen made an obvious mistake of missing certain ingredients, when I checked with one server, he tried to cover it up saying it's there just blended in, I'm very certain that's not the case, maybe defending the kitchen is their job too, but I think it's more acceptable to acknowledge he's unsure rather than try to fool your customers. In the end, the manager agreed the problem and kindly offered to remake, I don't like wasting food, so ended up fixing the issue by serving the missing part as a side. Food & Drink 3/5: variety choices of tapas, main courses, and paella, overall their drinks are more impressive than food HAM CROQUETAS - **** Croquetas with Iberian ham and aioli, very crispy and flavorful, recommend PATATAS BRAVAS - *** Crispy potatoes topped with Brava sauce and aioli, the potatoes weren't crispy rather tasted soggy and mushy PULPO TELEFÈRIC - **** Galician octopus with truffle oil and Pimentón potato purée, tasted grilled octopus, recommend PAELLA NEGRA - *** Squid ink, gulf shrimp, scallops, clams and octopus, rice was tasty although not crispy, unfortunately all seafood were so overcooked, scallops and clams were very rubbery, shrimp was very dry, barely edible BARCELONETA SANGRIA - ***** Sparkling wine, lemonade, prickly pear, honey, rosemary orange, mixed berries, refreshing fruity taste, highly recommend TELEFÈRIC SANGRIA - **** Red wine blend, Gin, Brandy, Triple Sec, orange and apple juice, cinnamon, fresh fruits, mint, mixed bold flavors, recommend Price 3/5: small to medium portions, overpriced for its quality, expect $60+ towards each one's order for a fulfilling meal. Watch your bill that they charge 18% mandatory service fee here, and no tip is expected on top of that. Overall, I still think this place is worth trying, maybe you'll have a better experience just for tapas and drinks. read more

Telefèric in Long Beach is such a gorgeous restaurant and perfect for a date night. The ambiance is romantic and stylish, and the marina-facing location makes the whole experience feel a little more special. There's also a lot of bar seating, which is nice if you want a more casual vibe or just stop in for drinks and tapas. The service was great and the menu is set up tapas-style, which I personally love because it lets you try a variety of dishes. Everything we ordered was delicious. The paella tasted authentic and was full of flavor, and the shrimp was fresh and perfectly cooked. That was probably the best tasting dish we had. The crab coquettes were pretty tasty too it was an elevated dish for sure. The Brussels sprouts unfortunately were not good at all and we were excited about them. They looked good but had absolutely no flavor and hardly any glaze. They also have a really nice wine selection. I had a red Cabernet that paired perfectly with the meal and was honestly really good. Another plus was that it wasn't overly crowded when we went on a weekday evening, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it's a beautiful spot with great food, great wine, and a romantic atmosphere. I'd definitely love to go back. read more

This is a place you have to come with a group so you can try all the different flavors. I came here with my wife and we only ordered one paella which was already too much food for us. The paella is really delicious and flavorful and the rice on the plate is really wide and thin so it makes me feel better eating it on a low carb diet (probably doesn't actually make a difference). We would like to come again to try their tapas as well. Price is reasonable if you're sharing! They have this unique custom where they give you a card and if it's turned a certain way, someone will occasionally bring sangria and pour it into your mouth.The waiter told us that's what they do in Spain. Really cool! Food also came out pretty fast. Restaurant has upscale and romantic vibes. read more

Teleferic Barcelona - Paella Mixta - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Beautiful Spanish eatery with a great selection of wines and tapas. Ambiance is casual and relaxed, albeit very classy ! We had a large party and they took great care of us! They also have a market right next door and dinner guests get 10% discount. Parking is often an issue in this area of Brentwood. Some of the private lots can be very expensive. Street parking is much more affordable but make sure you check the restrictions and monitor the meter time. My friends and I agreed that they are a bit pricy. That said, for a small fraction of the cost of a trip to the Mediterraneans, you can get a slice of the Barcelona experience here! read more

My group of friends and I genuinely enjoyed the ambiance and thought almost all of our dishes were well executed and tasted great, however would've given them a higher rating if it weren't for the unevenly cooked, well done in most parts tomahawk ($125) that we had asked for medium rare came out. I never send things back but given how off this was - we did. I believe the manager came out, didn't say too much except "do you want us to redo this?" In which we all agreed yes... and told us it'll be 35+ minutes of a wait. Which actually was closer to 45. The 2nd time did turn out better. I'm not sure why you need that much time to cook a medium rare steak and if it's a service recovery - we would've hoped it would be in half the time at the least. The bill came out with its own service charge and that was that. If we come back I will update the review based on our new experience as we thought everything else was great except how things were handled. read more

Came here on a weeknight for dinner and the place was pretty busy. Reservations were easy to make though, so I didn't need to wait to be seated. This restaurant has a nice ambiance. I tried the Gambas al Ajillo, Chicken Kebab, Pulpo Teleferic, Crab Croquetas, Patatas Bravas, and Jamon Iberico de Bellota. The prices are a big high for some of the portions, but everything was made well and tasted delicious. The staff is friendly, and our waitress made some good suggestions for us. Parking might be difficult on busy nights, but I managed to find free street parking about a block away. read more

Had a fabulous experience here celebrating a birthday dinner! The ambiance and decor are beautiful, and the service was truly phenomenal. From our server to the rest of staff and the manager, everyone was very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. They even gave us a special birthday dessert with a candle for the birthday boy, which was such a sweet touch. Their food is authentic, unique and packed with flavor. Absolutely delicious across the board. Patatas Bravas: My all-time favorite, even the second time around. So rich, so flavorful, and the texture is perfect. Ham Croquetas: Crispy on the outside, soft and creamy inside, with a great ham flavor. Wagyu Empanadas: These were just okay. For $18 you get two very tiny empanadas, and they're so small it's hard to really taste the filling. I wouldn't order these again. Paella Mixta: We split a paella meant for two people among three people, at first we thought it wouldn't be enough because it looked thin, but looks were deceiving. Paired with the tapas, it ended up being plenty, the perfect amount. Great crisp on the bottom and incredible flavor, we all loved it. If you want a little trip to Spain, definitely visit Teleferic. I will most definitely be back! read more

Discovered this place through inKind and was looking for some yummy Spanish cuisine. It had a very cozy and modern feel to the restaurant which I liked. Paella 3/5 - I forgot the name of it exactly but I know that it was seafood and had meat in it so it was a combo. It was very delicious but there were some very burnt parts at the bottom of the pan which I'm not sure if it's normal, but I would expect it to be just crispy not black burnt. Other than that I would still give this 4/5 stars but the burnt part kinda ruined the taste of it towards the bottom. Drinks 5/5 - The drinks were very unique and they didn't skimp on the alcohol too. I had a spicy margarita type and it was good as the blood orange taste of it and smoky as well. It all balanced very well with the paella too. read more

A very beautiful upscale open kitchen location compared to their more dimly lit Spanish style Long Beach location. Super modern kitchen and dining! Their Ham croquettes were amazing as always creamy croquette filling and savory ham with a crispy exterior. Their papas Bravas were good but I wish they were a bit crispier but I loved the aioli it came with the spicy red tomato sauce. I also got an Iberian oyster which wasnt fishy at all but lacked a brined flavor. It was a pretty big oyster and the presentation was a 10/10. The teleferic sangria is just okay they pour it out of a premade pitcher. Overall I would totally come back for some good food and amazing ambiance. read more

Teleferic Barcelona has a wonderful atmosphere and a welcoming staff. There are many areas in the restaurant each with its own charm and my wife and I have enjoyed several visits. The patatas bravas were a bit unlike what I am accustomed to but I loved the sauce and flavor. The Brussels sprouts also had a very generous dollop of cream on the top. Moving on to the tomato spread on bread--it went magnificently with the charcuterie and the presentation was beautiful! We enjoyed the ham croquets and my favorite dish of the night was the octopus--absolutely incredible presentation, cooked to perfection, the flavors were delightful and it is so hard to get octopus correct and they really managed to pull it off. Interesting sauce with very tender easy to cut pieces. I would have ordered 3 more if we had not already put a lot in for our order. Finally, we enjoyed the black paella, which we enjoyed and had a very ample portion. Make sure to order it early to give plenty of time! The dessert medley had so many interesting bites, but probably could have been half the size--it was too much for two people but I did enjoy the extra bites and don't get me wrong, the plate was absolutely clean when we were done with it. The sangrias each had their charm, I recommend one of each as one is very sweet and one is a bit richer. I liked hopping back and forth between sips for the perfect blend! All in all another wonderful evening and very much looking forward to returning to try more of the menu! read more

Had to return after having an incredible expierience at a yelp event. This time decided to take advantage of their market located next door and took home 2 sangrias! One was the Barceloneta sangria which was their sparkling wine and the other was the spicy sangria. They had a solid 4 servings in each of the glass bottles. The staff member here was truly so sweet, kind and helpful. They even have already pre-made do it at home paella kits that contained the pan and all the fixings. At the restaurant I decided to try their wagyu empanadas, tuna tacos, and butter beer which had bourban base and contained egg white. Again, a wonderful experience, perfectly curated menu and drinks, and wonderful ambiance thru and thru, with beautiful lighting and incredible staff! I will return again to see the live flamenco performance! read more

Solid Spanish tapas spot in Brentwood. Special thanks to Yelp for running their elite event promotion, since I would have never known this place existed, otherwise. I can't call myself any kind of authority on Spanish cuisine, as I've only eaten at a handful of places. But Teleferic was quite terrific. Quality libations paired to quality bites. For now, I've only had their sparkling wine based Barceloneta sangria and their red wine based Teleferic sangria. The Barceloneta sangria is liquid candy, like having an adult Jolly Rancher in beverage form - traces of Spanish cava, with lemonade and berries, but the fresh sprig of rosemary adds an invigorating touch. The Teleferic is more mature, with touches of gin and brandy in a red blend, more my speed. As food goes, the crab croquetas, iberian ham croquetas, patatas bravas (potatoes), tuna tacos, pulpo Teleferic, Lobster paella, and the trio selection of desserts: churros, orange mochi, and torrija, were enough for me and a female to be adequately full, with enough Lobster paella to box up for next day's breakfast. I wish I could've tried everything on the menu, since everything sounds so damn good, but I'm not trying to film an episode of Man VS Food here. That said, I would definitely come back to try their other tapas and cocktails. The strongest plates of the night for me were the croquetas, pulpo (octopus), and torrija dessert. Croquettes? Prepared perfectly. Crisp and hot on the outside, fluffy creamy to gooey with meat and cheese on the inside. One of the great fried foods of the world, where a lush richness fills your palate. The pulpo Teleferic, a tender octopus tentacle with a gentle potato puree truffle oil sauce. More tender savory than the last few octopus plates I've had this year from other places (aside from that special food court spot, Holbox). This one tasted particularly smart, maybe as intelligent as Paul the Octopus in predicting the winners of the World Cup. As paella goes, it's doable. Just be aware of ordering between having paella with or without soccarat. The soccarat is a traditional, home-style, rustic way of cooking the paella till the bottom layer dries and crusts up to have a chewy, crisp type of bits and pieces (kind of reminds of the way Koreans purposely serve rice in a stone pot where the rice on the edges harden to bits you need to scrape off). The Spanish episode of the cooking competition show Final Table had the judges making sure to highlight the soccarat in the contestants' dishes. If you're not used to it or just uncultured, you might assume that the paella was "ruined" as opposed to intentional. If you want your paella uniformly soft, almost like a risotto or dryer congee texture, order it without soccarat. As flavor goes, I've seen other reviewers complain about the paella being "too fishy" for the seafood paella. To be honest, it's the opposite for me. I was kind of longing for seafood flavor. The big chunks of lobster are decent, as are the other parts like the shrimp and octopus, but I think the flavor overall was a bit more mild, than impactful. But I'd still come back and give their squid ink paella a try. Ditto goes for the tuna tacos. They're decent, in taste and texture; just not the best example I've had where I'd be clamoring to re-order it. Patatas bravas, a bowl filled with crisp potatoes topped with aioli is okay, but I wasn't in love with. It'll fill the vegetarian offering, but overall flavor profile is gentle, light, creamy. I wish the potatoes were cooked up a bit more, like to have a crisp or crunchy outer texture (like the fried potatoes at The Pantry!), but this was served with a soft consistency. Out of the trio of desserts, the orange mochi and the torrija were the most distinct and impressionable. I'll go with the torrija as my favorite pick. Catalan toast, crisp bite on the outside, soft spongy on the inside, with a light if elegant custard oozing out from the center. Paired to the ice cream, it's a soothing kind of sweetness that I could devour more of. The Orange mochi, classy and demure, also has a creamy center of citrus notes. The flavor sense brings me to a childhood of eating orange creamsicle bars, but this dessert metamorphisized from finishing school into something understated but high class. The churro works, filled with chocolate. You can clown on me for preferring a Costco churro with a cup filled with chocolate syrup. Okay, the overall flavor here at Telerific is better and not cloyingly sweet, but I still was wanting more, a little special something - and its texture was harder on bite in, and less satisfying once you get through it. Definitely check out the market next door, with great wines and other take-home snacks and bites! Place is priced for upper-middle class and celebrities. Gratuity is automatic 18%, but I prefer to add a bit more, especially for great service and complimentary yelp elite bites 'n drinks. read more

Celebrated a birthday with a group of 3 which was a good size for this restaurant. They treated us to a free birthday dessert which was very kind! Staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Ambiance was busy but not too loud, and I loved the decor. This spot was featured on a recent season of Selling Sunset as well. Loved the Barceloneta sangria - it was very sweet, which I like. Would come back just for this drink. We ordered the patatas bravas (nothing wrong with potatoes and sauce) and the large paella mixta (which they warn you takes about 20-30 min to make). This size was enough for 4, maybe even 5 people in my opinion. The food looks beautiful. I think it had a good flavor overall but the predominant flavor was oil and it did not taste as good as paella I've had in Europe (but it did help satisfy that paella craving). Parking was hard to find in Brentwood but they do have valet for ~$13 if I remember correctly. Bathroom onsite. FYI, for parties greater than 10 a set menu (starting at around $45pp) OR minimum spend of $65pp including food and drink is required. We were initially hoping to bring a bigger group and share some appetizers and try several different paellas. The cheapest set menu only offers 1 type of paella, while the à la carte option felt too expensive per person for shared plates with a party where not everyone drinks. It became too complicated so we ended up finding another location that could accommodate a large group without any menu or spending requirements, and still spent at least $500 on the meal (closer to $35 pp). I would encourage them to reconsider these large party restrictions as they could still profit while being a bit more flexible. read more

Food 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Service 5/5 To be transparent, I never really liked tapas, but was enticed to try this place out because of a yelp elite event where you'd get two tapas and two drinks and let me tell you - I am believer in tapas now and am inspired to want to go to Spain! This place looks unassuming from the outside, but as soon as you step in you are greeted by friendly and welcoming staff. The ambiance is modern, clean, dim but well lit and trendy. The food was actually so good that I ordered SIX tapas, a paella, a dessert and two sangrias for two people! The tapas are small portions, but PACKED with flavor and textures. The yelp elite event gifted the Jamon croquetas (crispy ham croquettes) and the patatas bravas (potato covered in sauce) and they wear phenomenal. The croquettes were so light and savory and definitely recommend the patatas bravas (potato's) because this dish is so warm and cozy. The Brussel sprouts was one of the best Brussel sprout dishes I've ever had -- light, zesty and tangy and full of flavor. Unfortunately, I didn't prefer the Wagyu empenadas despite the fact that it was by far the most aesthetically pleasing dish to look at. They were slightly dry and probably wouldn't order these again. By the time we got to the paella, I was already full, but I'd have to say that paellas aren't typically my cup of tea, but it did come with a good amount of seafood and we had a lot to pack home. Once you move to dessert, we got the trio plate but to be honest, we couldn't finish it all so if you just want to choose one item, make sure to get the toast. It was absolutely DEVINE. Crispy on the outside and warm and chewy on the inside and not overly sweet. Unfortunately the churros were too dense and way too sweet. Overall, this place is amazing and will definitely be back to try all the tapa appetizers. Def recommend. read more

Some hits and misses. The hostess was very nice. Friendly and hospitable. She warned me the area I chose to sit the HVAC was not working. But 2/3rs thru the meal it started to work, so it was ok. The decor was wonderful. You will feel transported. Bathrooms were not very clean at 7:30pm. Maybe a touch up is required mid-service. My waiter was ok, inattentive at times. Maybe new? I had to ask him several times for ice for my water. At some point he left or got reassigned to other tables. I lost track of him. I asked 2 more staff members, and they were able to take care of me. The waiter pushed the Lobster Paella, for $62 not a great value. The paella is a very thin THIN (REALLY THIN) layer of rice, and the dominant ingredient is NOT lobster (it's the minor ingredient). 6 small pcs of lobster. Mostly shrimp and octopus. It could just be an appetizer size, or small entree portion. - But the seafood broth they used was extraordinary, very delish Their sangrias are delish, beautifully presented. The waiter obliged me and my kidney issues, and made the sangria half with soda water. It was perfection. When my friend joined me her sangria was made the normal way, tasty, beautiful!!! WELL DONE - 5 stars for the bartender. - Best sangria of my life! THE BEST DISH OF THE NIGHT: The gambas (shrimps) were great. Cooked in alot of olive oil and darkened sliced garlic. It had fried or grilled leek pieces too. It is a good portion. The shrimp heads were fabulous. It came with 2 more slices of grilled bread. - Too much bread on the table, wish the waiter talked me out of ordering the side of bread A side of bread. I wanted bread with butter. Waiter assured me it is grilled with butter. NOT TRUE. No butter and too charred for my kidneys. - Bread was light and airy, it was dry so good to pick up sauces The gem cesar was lackluster. The lettuce was wilted or not fresh. There were rocks in 2 of 3 bites in each piece. Maybe forgot to clean it? - The sauce is a heavy crema/that is cheesy - There is no brightness of acid, it needs it The tomato salad (heirloom) was sliced tomatoes sitting on top of sauces and also drizzled with delish sauces. They poured the salad dressing from this tiny decanter that looks like a glass genie in a bottle (TOO CUTE!!!). Very charming presentation. - The only downer is the tomatoes were very ripe / soft, I guess I am just used to a firmer tomato I used the In-Kind APP for a $30 off $90 bill. The in-Kind app does not match my bill / ticket #14. I have to go after them for a $44 credit + tax + tip related to the overcharge. - They also hit me with a $21.06 service fee on top of everything else - VERY DISAPPOINTING - I am requesting a refund with the app for over charges $69.57 - Now I have to waste my time to rectify this Parking is tough, all street parking. But if you go early, there are metered spots right in front. $2 per hour. read more

Teleferic Barcelona - Themed decor - interior - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Telefèric Barcelona is a visual delight of a restaurant that oozes modern sophistication and energy. For the most part, the Spanish cuisine delivers with tantalizing dishes that pique the taste buds and carries you to the heart of Barcelona. The star of this restaurant is certainly the Telefèric Sangria and the Ham Croquetes. I can happily have both every day because they are that good. The Telefèric Sangria with its red wine blend, Gin, brandy, Triple Sec, orange and apple juice, cinnamon, and mint is smooth, just sweet enough, and flows together so well like a beautiful symphony. The mint really adds a refreshing taste that elevates the drink without overpowering the rest of the Sangria. The Ham Croquetas is my favorite tapas tonight because it is just bursting with flavor. It is as savory as it gets and the crunchiness of the shell balances the creamy, salty, meaty flavor of the Iberian Ham and aioli very well. The Patata Bravas also works well for me, with the Brava sauce bringing a lot of savory, hearty flavors. I can definitely use more of the tangy aioli, however, because every time I get a hint of a bite of it, my taste buds brightens up in delight. Overall, this all works great, and makes this an elevated comfort food. The dish that is the least impressive is the Wagyu Empanadas. The hard, thin, and fried empanada, coupled with the hard and dry Wagyu and the hard decorative cracker (or bread?) on top means the overall experience is a bit one note. The presentation is exquisite and delicate however. Easily the most visually beautiful dish of the night, however. Finally, I had the Trío Selection, aka all three dessert options, because why not? Starting with the Churros, this dessert is just as expected. Sweet, crunchy, chocolatey. Yet, I can use a bit more of the toffee because that would've been the most interesting wrinkle. Sadly, the chocolate overpowers the toffee. The coconut and mango gelatin are interesting on their own, but are also overpowered by the Churros and chocolate. This is the one dessert I wouldn't miss out on because the other two are just much better and are worth it. The Orange Mochi is a fine example of how a simple dish with complimentary flavors (Valencian Orange, citrus jelly, and orange crumble) can simply be done well. It is just darn good and just shows that the execution and deliver matters just as much as the ingredients. Finally, the last and most regionally unique of the dessert is the Torrija. A staple across Spain, this combination of warm Catalan toast (the Spanish take of bread pudding) with its Crema Catalan and the cool and refreshing ice cream with Crème Brûleé and passionfruit is just what I needed. If I can only choose one dessert tonight, this would be it. There is a lot going on component wise, yet the dessert is just effortless. Finally, the ambiance and service are exemplary. Friendly and attentive service coupled with a lively atmosphere means I'll be coming back for more! read more

We enjoyed Teleferic Barcelona on a Saturday afternoon lunch. We were promptly greeted and seated with about a dozen seated tables. We started with a Sangria each - a Teleferic on for me and Spicy for my husband. Our appetizers were the Patatas Bravas and the Ham Croquetas. The potatoes were well seasoned, though I wished they were a bit more crunchy. The croquetas were divine - a much order starter. Since it was the two of us, we split the Paella Negra served th Barcelona's Way (crispy - recommended). The prawns were lovely because they keep the heads on (where a lot of flavor is located). The sliced octopus was a bit dry, but still better tasty...and the squid ink black sauce was amazing! Great umami, salty, brine. All but one of the clams were open, so we skipped the closed one. The space is nice and contemporary Mediterranean lounge feel. Hardwood tables, wall-long padded bench with pillows. There's a nice private room and patio in the back. read more

Stylish restaurant through out. My girlfriend and I arrived for a dinner reservation together and were excited to try as their menu was very attractive to us. When we walked in, i was impressed. The modern/warm design and ambiance plus being met by their friendly staff was a nice interaction. We were easily checked in, and handed a couple Yelp swag items. Always a nice touch. we were escorted to the table and i quickly cozied into my chair ready to go to town. In our order, we added their signature ibérico paella, some Brussel sprouts and couple other add ins. As each tasty plate made its way over, they were all gorgeous as they were appetizing. I enjoyed the mix of spice and flavors in each and my introduction to more Spanish flavors took my taste buds on a savory tangent. Firstly, the Brussel sprouts surprised me. They had the expected slight lovely char and mildy sweet element with savory crunchy bite, but what I really loved about the plate was the fluffy cream plated over the Brussel sprouts. It had added this whole new combination i hadn't yet experienced in a greens plate. It was savory like a protein, sweet and semi fluffy which was an odd mix of stimulation on my tongue initially but delicious!! Also, I'd highly suggesting adding in the Ibérico paella. It's a larger entree that could dang near feed a small family. It's a slightly fried rice with some savored oil that delivered rich slight crisped texture in the complement to a well done portion of mini pork chops with tender meaty bites. Our meal as a whole was clearly hearty and in my opinion all plates were a good portioned sized for tapas. Our entire dinner was lovely. The staff was courteous, and my girlfriend and I enjoyed the romantic atmosphere. We were 1 couple of many other couples on an evening dinner lol. Needless to say the restaurant is kinda hot. The menu is terrific the vibe is pleasant and drinks are crafted beautifully. I'd love to return to try more cocktails and dine in again. Shouts out to Yelp for an excellent night and introduction to Barcelona cuisine. read more

A friend treated me out to lunch and had chosen Teleferic Barcelona in Brentwood, California. Wow this place is amazing. Very chill vibes, great interior design and a friendly hostess. Seating choices included the: *bar very clean and nicely lit by the outside sunlight. *dining area that was open and airy or *private dining area for events We were greeted by a guy who poured us some water then our waiter arrived in a cool hip denim attire and apron. The menu was amazing. So many sharable options, delicious main dishes and paella for almost everyone (omnivores to vegetarians). There were also many types of sangrias. We ordered two of the appetizers and the refreshingly tasty Teleferic Sangria. After our yummy meal and drinks we went into the market. Yes, they have a Spanish market full of eye catching items like cheeses, wines, sangrias, olives and make your own paella kits. They also have live flamenco. Teleferic Barcelona is definitely a great date night option in my opinion. read more

My all time favorite Spanish place. Their paella is DIVINE and the best I've ever had, even in Michelin Bib Gourmand places, teleferic is still better. The best tapas, the quality is phenomenal, and every time I go it still tastes amazing! You do need to ask for socarrat as they won't do it for you automatically (a server told me the older patrons complain with their teeth LOL) and always order a side of bread so soak up any sauce. Must orders: Croquetas, Patatas Bravas, Gambas, Pulpo, Jamon, Brocollini and ANY paella read more

I have been wanting to try this place out because they serve paella. Unfortunately, the paella did not meet expectations. However, the meat was one of the best I had! So juicy and tender! We also enjoyed the different tapas. I knocked one star because the dish that took our family to this restaurant was not well made. The bombas rice was very hard. read more

Came with a friend for an early Thursday dinner around 6, and it was pretty empty when we arrived, but packed by the time we left. We tried the spicy sangria which I was hoping I would love because I adore spicy margaritas, but it was just ok. Next time I'd either try the classic red sangria or just stick to regular wine. The appetizer tuna tacos and the broccolini were delicious, but everything was a bit more filling than we expected because most of the items we got had some kind of creamy sauce that accompanied the dish. Yummy, but rich! Only wish the parking situation were better, though! Meters are hard to snag, and are only for an hour. read more

We had an ok time at this restaurant. We didn't have a reservation, so we were seated alone outside on the patio. It shares a wall with another restaurant so the music kept mixing together and I almost preferred just listening to theirs to keep it cohesive. The patio was large which made it feel extra empty in the space so a little awkward. The staff was very friendly and somewhat attentive, especially since we could be forgotten easily. The sangrias were pretty good and mild for being mixed alcohols. The ham croquettas were delicious as were the potatoes, which were very filling. We added in the Paella Negra which had mixed seafood. Something was off about the shrimp. They tasted mushy somehow. The pulpo was great, so we should have stuck with the paella pulpo, which was the chef's special that night. We were too full for dessert, but overall, we were left interested in trying other things, and know to make a reservation for next time. read more

Really satisfying and dynamic culinary experience. Absolutely recommend. The ambience is strong at day and night, and each area of the restaurant is a well-curated and comfortable atmosphere. The bar, dining room, and patio are all very cool and easy to spend time in. The service is prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable. The food was incredible. The paella was better than a LOT of what I've had in Barcelona, and the meatballs and tuna were stunning. An explosion of delicate layers of flavor delivered on a dynamic textural pallet with perfect presentation. Again, absolutely would recommend. read more

Great food and service. Lovely interior as well. This place gets busy so would recommend booking a reservation for a big party. We sat at the counter facing the kitchen for a party of 2. We got the ham croquettes which were SO good. Surprisingly! And the mixta plate that was super flavorful. We also tried their white wine sangria and teleferic sangria which I believe is a red wine. It was very flavorful but not very strong. Overall we loved everything and had an enjoyable dinner. Parking is a bit difficult so if you don't mind valet, they offer that. We were lucky to find street parking after a few loops around. read more

Both virgin and sweet Sangria were fresh and sweet! Also, all the appetizers we got were tasty and flavorful! The holiday drink was really good too. Ambiance was very intimate and chill with low lights and lots of tables. Service was great too! The menu is kinda pricey but I think you're paying more for the experience than the proportion size of the food. The quality and taste is there though! Drinks are pretty typical for LA but actually have alcohol and good taste to them read more

Cant wait to go back! Warm and inviting dining area. Also a great bar if you want to grab some sangria. The counter seemed tight and sort of awkward location relative to the vibe of the whole place. I would sit at the regular dining tables. The food was phenomenal. Ham croquet was tasty and soft inside and crispy on the outside. Patatas bravas had maybe too much aioli but overall it was fun and delicious to dunk your potatoes in. Negra paella as the main was great to share between 2 people. Oh and the sangria was surprisingly very strong. Was not too sweet, the red wine taste wasn't masked. Very good cocktail. read more

If you're looking for a unique cocktail/small plates experience this is a great candidate. The first thing that I'm impressed with is the authenticity- from the folks who run the place to the excellent tapas and drinks. We sat at the bar and the bartender mixed us some dazzling looking gin and tonics. We ordered a few very tasty appetizers- the crab croquetas were rich, but too rich, and very flavorful; the cheesy Brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly; the gamba (shrimp) had just the right blend of mouth watering texture, zing, and crispness. The staff are friendly and know their craft. They also have a very cool adjacent market. This was our second time here but definitely not our last. read more

I just Came back from Spain and want to correct my previous post. Their food is NOT GOOD. And their manager lied to us about it. They burned the paella (it was black around the edges) and when we advised it appeared burnt they said no that's how it should be. It's the socarrat. It's supposed to be black. Being that it had been a minute since having paella I trusted the manager. Well now I know with absolute certainty. Black means burned and they should not have served it to us. Super disappointing experience read more
