Dinner at Telerefic hits all the right notes if you're in the mood for bold flavors and a buzzy night out. We started with the shrimp gambas al ajillo -- garlicky, buttery, and the kind of dish that wakes up your appetite without weighing you down. A perfect warm-up. Then came the lobster paella, big enough to share and full of personality. The rice had that golden crust you secretly hope for, toasted just enough to lift cleanly from the cast-iron pan. The lobster and shrimp were generously portioned, glistening under the dinner lights like edible jewels -- tender, flavorful, and easy to peel. If only the shrimp had been deveined -- minor detail, personal preference, but worth noting. The Pink Lychee cocktail was zesty, refreshing, and prettily topped with mint and lime -- the perfect sip between bites. Service was efficient and mostly smooth. The hostess could've been more upfront (a "reserved" table story that wasn't quite true), but our server Julio made up for it with grace and charm -- moving us without hesitation and making us feel genuinely welcomed. By mid-evening, the restaurant was buzzing -- lively, vibrant, and full of chatter. Not ideal for quiet conversation, but perfect if you're after great food, strong flavors, and a fun dining scene. Telerefic is on the pricier side, but the food and drinks deliver -- and that's reason enough to go.

Good food with good service. Solid pick for a dinner spot in Los Gatos. Came here for a work dinner recently. The pork paella was too salty, but the other paella options were great. My favorite appetizer was the Brussel Sprouts and oysters. The drinks were good, I had a mango mocktail (the dry ice made the drink bubble the whole time, which was unique). Desserts were ok, churros came out underwhelming and half of it was left uneaten. Overall, this is a good place for work dinners. On the more expensive side as well. I recommend coming here in smaller groups to avoid the prefix charges for group reservation.

My husband and I finally tried Teleferic Barcelona. It definitely did not disappoint. We enjoyed a table in the corner. The mojito was very fresh and had something in it that made it bubble which made it fun. All the dishes were quite tasty. The dessert was a surprise treat- nice texture, not too sweet. Definitely want to go back with our kids and parents. The service was wonderful. Enjoyed the ambiance.

Chicken empanadas - 6/5 MUST TRY Wagyu empanadas - 4/5 this was good too but chicken was wayyy better Crab croquettes - 5/5 delicious! Squid ink paella - 4/5 Iberico paella - 3.5/5 Prime wellington - 3/5 Butter beer - 1/5 no butterscotch flavor, tasted like ginger beer mostly I'd go back to get chicken empanadas again and try other dishes!

Every dish we ordered were delicious and well seasoned, even the desserts were perfectly pretty and yummy. We'd go back to try other dishes on the menu. Service was good for a busy night. We sat outside under the tree, it got little cold toward the end but it was very pleasant and romantic otherwise.

Best place for good cocktails, tapas, and paella! Love coming here for happy hours with friends and coworkers. All of the tapas and the paella are delicious. I recommend getting the paella the Barcelona's way with the rice extra crispy. Also the sangria and all of the cocktails are great, can't go wrong. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the tomahawk - was too undercooked and too much fat. There's a lot of waiters and the service is attentive. There's lots of seating inside and outside. There is also a large bar that people can sit at. They also sell wine, drinks, cheese, pasta, and other snacks.

First time at Teleferic with an appointment! Service was incredibly slow. Given it was pretty popping and crowded, but we waited quite a long time to order and then another long wait after we finished our meal to pay and leave. The food was overhyped in my opinion. We got the paella negra and it was sooooooo salty. Like unbearably salty not sure if this is normal here or our food was an anonaly. The crab croquetas were pretty good which was the only upside from our dining experience.
