Fantastisk mat och hade den underbara servitören Alfie. Rekommenderar inte bara maten, men servicen, som var underbar!

Trevligt ställe, rena toaletter, bra vin och vermut. Pasta och burgare utsökt. 
Och Julio är extra cool och uppmärksam. Bra val bland hundratals restauranger i Barcelona.

It's it's possible I'll do negative 5 stars.
Beside we were waitng for food over an hour.
My stake with baked potato's were placed on cast iron tray, but was cold, not just tray, stake and potato also. Entrecot a la Brasa 24.50€. 
My wife ordered Paella Senorito - its was just rice with two shrimps cut for eight pieces
Please avoid this place. Much better restaurant around the corner we had dinner night before

This place rocks! The food is delicious. The service is great too. If you want to freak out the waiter, tip in American cash. I gave our waiter a twenty for a lunch bill. He gave me a what the F' look. Then he asked the manager in Spanish what it was. He came back and was really grateful. Again! Try this place if you have time. The burgers are killer and so are many other things on the menu. We went three times in the week we were in Barcelona.

This restaurant is in a great location, right near Arenas de Barcelona. My friends and I popped in for dinner one night. 

Most of us ordered the pasta bolognese. The pasta itself was delicious and the amount of cheese on top was ideal. However, I do wish the dish had a bit more meat. I left the meal still feeling a little hungry. 

The staff was kind and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. I would probably go again!

A little touristy but we really liked it! The grilled nachos and ambience were amazing! The staff was attentive. The paella and 4 cheese pasta were really good as well. My group thought it was reasonably priced.

Service was quick and friendly. We tried to unlock the Yelp 15% offer and the waiters told us it was for another location: we asked them to double check and they told us there was another one in the mall. It sounded odd there would be another location so close -bc there wasn't. I'm pretty sure they just didn't know how to use the coupon and didn't want to look into it? If you look at the location on this Yelp page, it is 0 steps, the offer was for this location. 

Anyway, the food wasn't horribly pricey, but definitely not cheap for what you get. We ordered the Parmesan pasta and the bolognese. The presentation is beautiful -but myself and another person in our party had to ask for Parmesan -it just didn't have much flavor. The sangria is a little pricey for the serving and wasn't that good -the beer was good, nice and cold. It wasn't an awful experience, but I wouldn't return when there are more flavorful and cheaper pasta options.

I can simply just say 10/10. So far my favorite restaurant in Barcelona. The food is absolutely delicious. We had the chicken and ham croquettes, spicy potatoes, steak, and wagyu burger and each thing was absolutely mouth watering.

Nice place and very good food. BEWARE YELPERS!!  15% discount for a check-in is not honored at Via Cortalanes location but not disclosed on coupon. They said here it's only good at Plaza Catalunya location. Wanna bet at that location they say it's only good at this one?

I just left this restaurant and I am an African American woman and my girlfriends who are also African American planned to have dinner here and we had the worst experience in our lives. We flew all the way from USA to enjoy what Spain has to offer and we were met with pure rudeness and disrespect.  The look of disgust on their employees face when I Asked for a bar menu. He yelled at me and said he doesn't know what I am asking for and that they don't have that there. I was taken back by his actions told him I was a paying customer and wouldn't be disrespected. He continued to yell at me and lWhen I made a big scene the manager came to apologize but at this point I wasn't about to eat there anymore.  I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who
Are just looking for good food and
Drinks unless you are looking to be disrespected.

Most of the food we had was average, but the t-bone steak was surprisingly good.  It was wonderfully marbled with just enough fat but it was still lean and full of flavor.  The portion was large enough to share!  it also came with a nice side of patatas of course.

Grilled chicken tasted ok but slightly bland so just sprinkle some salt...  Bolognese pasta needed more meat and the pasta was a bit doughy.

Service was attentive and gotta love the outdoor seating with heat lamps on a beautiful Barca night.  Affordable too!

The two important things you need to know about this place: 1) Open late. 2) Delicious meat. Aaaaand we're good to go!

Most of started with sangria or cerveza and of course we ordered a few carafes of water. The sangria was perfect after a long first day in Barcelona following an enthralling 6-0 FC Barcelona game!

FOOD (4 stars): Soooo, did someone say MEAT?
----------------------------------------------------
We began with the **Deli Meats Platter** which included thin cuts of salami and jamon. Unfortunately there were not enough of each variety of meat to sample each type, but I did like what I tried. The presentation of the **Chicken Hanging Ribs** was impressive -- it arrived as a really tall hanging skewer of delicious meatiness. The chicken was one of the most juicy and tender I have ever had. Definitely recommended! The headliner of the show was supposed to be the **Super Pork Ribs** so our group ordered 3 racks to share. Very well cooked and the menu description ("spectacular!") was accurate. Boy, did we chow down.

Of course we had a few non-meat items. "Why??!" you may ask. "Meat is all you need!" We wanted a little balance since we knew we'd be eating a ton of meat during this trip. So we threw in the **Grilled Veggies** dish just for the heck of it, but I was one of the only ones eating it. Everyone else was distracted by the meat. The **Croquettes** were excellent -- perfectly crispy. You may notice that in Spain they have their croquettes down to a T. Never too oily and always just the right amount of crispy. How do they do it? 

Note that the food above was enough to serve about 8 people and cost us about 25 euro including tip. Decent price for all that meat, but we weren't super full either. Remember that these are European-sized portions, not American portions... so don't be expecting a Sizzler buffet!

SERVICE (2 stars):
---------------------
Our server did speak decent English but was pretty abrasive until some of us started bustin' out our Spanish. Then they were a tiny bit friendlier. They clearly do favor locals here, which isn't cool. Everyone's a customer, right?

Oh, and there's free Wi-Fi, so another point in their favor. You often need to refer to this as as "Wee-Fee" or you may get some blank stares.

TIP: People will tell you that everyone in Spain speaks English, but this simply isn't true. They also don't mention that locals seem to absolutely hate speaking it and will only do so because they must somehow serve their customers. So learn some key phrases or brush up on your Spanish before your trip.

DATE TIP: This be the place to bring on the meatiness! Show 'em how you throw it down, being from 'Murica and all.
