Lives up to the hype! Shout out to Kareen and Julie who served on two separate occasions. It's nice to be invited to sit, and then get bombarded by a slew of seafood. My first iteration was carpaccio, razor clams, sangria and crab. Second time around, more sangria, the seafood platter, oysters with special sauce, and beer. Epic!

Very cool bar in the middle of La Boqueria. We ordered the patatas bravas and the ham spinach asparagus croquettes. We also tried their fantastic Sangria!
