"Worst Experience Ever!!! We got there around 7PM today for Valentines day. I was with my Fiance, her sister and her mom. We sat around 7:10PM. We ordered around 7:15. We ordered 2 appetizers, 3 main course. We got our first appetizer at around 7:50PM. Then I got my main course order at 7:55PM. Note... I got my main course order before getting the second appetizer or the other main course orders from my party. Then at around 8PM, my fiances mom got her main course order. After that, we got our 2nd appetizer at around 8:10PM. After 20 minutes without getting the main course order from my fiance and her sister, we noticed the the 2 table of different parties behind us, they got their order before us and it was also the paella. By then we decided to leave and pay. We paid about $82 for the 2 appetizers and 2 main course order. Please note, dont order the 3 piece cheese order. You will be disappointed. Its $15 for something so small and not so good. The 2nd appetizer is the 3 piece sausage on flat bread. It was $11 and if you go to Dominos, youll get a full size pizza for that price. They were so small that it looked like 1 slice of pizza with 3 toppings. The steak that I ordered was ordered Medium Well. I got my steak well done on the outside and rare on the inside. The Market fish that my fiances mom ordered as supposed to be trout. The used salmon instead. It was one of the worst dinning experience I ever had in my life. The manager didnt even approached us and apologized to us. He just minded his own business. Also, they tried to put 2 appetizers on our table that was not our order. I have pictures saved on my phone. Anybody that needs any evidence, please email me and Ill forward you the picture of the steak."

Two occasions of bad food and inconsistent service is enough for me to never return. Order the paella only if you want to spend the whole night picking bits of broken seafood shells out of blandly seasoned, lukewarm rice. Ask for empanadas only if youve got the strength to break up these dry clumps--a far, far cry from flaky, hot, empanadas filled with soft, savory meats. The tapas could be good if only the kitchen could just deliver HOT food. Theres no excuse for tepid food at a restaurant like this! And why should servers be reminded to take away a few menus still sitting on the table, not to mention take away empty appetizer dishes when they bring the entrees? What a waste of time and money.

the location is great, but the service was horrible, they took my friends plate away while she still had food on her plate and the fork in her mouth.... I had ordered paella and it was far from being anything similar to authentic paella, the rice was hard, too salty, only served me one spoon full of paella and to top it off the waiter brought a bottle of tapatio hot sauce to the table.... since when is spanish cuisine supposed to be spicy? If you want authentic spanish food, this is not the place...im still looking for one myself...

Came for some drinks. They had $5 sangria specials for the Make Music festival but apparently did not inform the staff because they charged us full price but later fixed it after we told them about the special they were promoting just right outside by the front door. So thank you for fixing the error! Lots of TV (A LOT) so if you are into sports itd be a GREAT place to watch it, small bar area but its full bar and the bartenders are very friendly and attentive. Id come back and hang out with friends over a drink or two.

Stick a fork in this place! One of the cooks hand weighed my package, while I was waiting for the restroom. A complaint to management was stifled by this peculiar news,"The cook is blind. He doesnt know what hes doing." Damn straight, I replied with snake-like reflexes,"BS, the cook is searching for sausage or cock!" I get it. They want to protect their peeps, but if I was a woman this story would be National news, followed by a lawsuit, and a disgraceful closure of Bar Celona.

This place is lame. I would not go back here again unless I absolutely had to and even then I would not spend any more there. Customer service sucks, was lied to when I asked to speak to the manager, DO NOT GO here in big groups. Went with a large group and all of us agree that we will never go back again. With so many options in pasadena I recommend steering clear of this one.

It was kinda ok, and thats it. The dates were ok, the croquets were undersalted, the churros were greasy. The rest was so forgettable I cannot remember what else we ordered, and it was just a week or two ago! It was very "meh". Not worth the price. Oh, and the service was slow and disinterested. Our waitress chatted it up with the hostesses while we waited to order dessert.

The food here is awful AND expensive. You should literally go anywhere else if your going to eat before coming here. The plan was to eat at the attached restaurant and spend the night away at the bar/embarrassing club next door. The restaurant side will NOT honor happy hour drinks. Thats ONLY at the club. And the club is laughably bad. Small, bad music and claustrophobic.

The sangria was great, and thats about it! The female bartender came over to us twice to ask if we wanted some water, and we said yes twice, but neglected to take our order. We were sitting at the bar afterall. Thats when we decided we would only get a drink and leave. It still took her forever to bring us the sangria, that was pre-made and behind the bar!

Best food weve had in a while + great service. We had their soup of the day and it was rich and delicious tomato soup, crab-cakes are tasty, shrimp salad so good, salmon salad was good. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

The tapas are really just (pricy) appetizers, better go for something else. Service was somewhat slow, the place wasnt busy. Food tasted great though!

This place is high on glamor and low on value. Certainly the food is good, but not great.
