Bravo 24 - Barcelona

Booked a table whilst staying at the W. The restaurant looks fab but beneath that facade is trouble and disorganised chaos. First we had a table, then we didn 't and then , whoops, yes we did ! Not a good start. Service was frankly, dreadful. Kitchen service very, very slow and this seemed to put the waiters in ' hiding ' ? Quite a few of the tapas dishes were not available. Disappointing to say the least.

The stunning Bravo 24 restaurant at the esteemed W hotel in Barcelona Location : 10/10 by the coast set in the most beautiful hotel in Barcelona. Boujee AF Service: 9/10 service was excellent with the staff knowing a great deal about the history of the culinary arts of Barcelona Food : 10/10 the food was stunning! In particular the creative cod starter and the supremely cooked mains we couldn't fault!

I recall, it was an interesting evening there was slight problem with the lighting in the restaurant it didn't spoil my experience. The staff were delightful, and very welcoming. I ordered a beer and perused the extensive menu I wanted Tapas, but I was being drawn towards the steak. I stuck to my guns I went for tapas (when in Spain... . I ordered patatas, bread and cod balls all were amazing. the cod was smooth, the papatas were crispy, and the bread was well flavoured with tomato and herbs. The food surpassed by expectation it was a great experience.

This was the worst dining experience in my entire life. We had a reservation at 22.00, had to wait at the bar for a while, no stress, but arriving at the table the nightmare started. First no service at all, even several waiters was seen in the half full restaurant. Finally, after apx. 45 minutes we got the menues, and then we had to wait very long for the waiter to get our orders. Neither wine or water was served, and when the Food finally came at the table, after more then 1 hour wait, main course was served, but starters? Nope they had forgotten that part of the order. This Whole experience was a disaster, and we will never eat there again. It is really surprising a star chef can look at this joke of a restaurant, and not take action!

When we checked into the hotel, we were told to try this place out, so we made a reservation for 2 people at 10 p.m. Within minutes of making the reservation, there was a text and an email to confirm it. However, when we showed up, we were told no reservation existed in our name. Even after showing the email and the text, we were told by the hostess that there wasn't much she could do. We were offered the choice between waiting 30-45 minutes and seeing if we could be fit in or sit at the bar and have a limited menu. We left instead. Truly disappointing.
