   After spending some time in Spain, we missed the traditional Spanish food and Telefèric provided a place to enjoy that once more. The tapas, wine and sangria we had were delicious and we can’t wait to come back for more. The hosts were great, service was great and the ambience was great. Thank you for making this a great outing for my family and I.

   First time dining here. Absolutely loved the decor. Very nice setting. Food and service was great. We pretty much tried every tapa on the menu and my favorite was the paella bomb. The place is dog friendly. I bought my little mini schnauzer puppy. Place was a little loud but he slept through it all.

   Great tasting food and great service. You can’t get this kind of food anywhere around here. It’s all Spanish.

   Was excited to try this new addition to Long Beach. Nice location and a very cool entrance. Decor is great and has a good vibe. Opted to eat at the bar instead..... very nice hostesses were accomodating to the change. Bar looks like a good weekend spot. Greeted by nice bartenders who explained the menu, drinks and concept. Tried the sangria flight which was quite good. Ordered several food options with my friend so we could try different things. Was told oysters were small and they were quite large. Asked what kind they were and was just told "from Iberia" which doesn't say much. Taste was good. The rest of the food we got was pretty underwhelming....tuna tacos which were pretty bland, chori bao, artichoke hearts, cauliflower pops and kebab skewers. Don't have much to say about any of them besides everything tasted good but nothing blew me away. Overall food was quite rich and salty. Was surprised to see an 18% service charge added to the bill without anything said prior. I understand with a large table but 2 people? Final bill of $180 felt like a lot for what we ordered.

   Well, as soon as we walked in, we had our table ready. We waited a good 15 min before we were asked if we wanted drinks other than water, we ordered the drinks. Waited another 15 minutes the wear asked to order everything at once as I was told the our waitress it will take about 45 min to get our food. The food was good if I came back. I would only have tapas. The tacos are awesome.

   Made reservations for my birthday with a large party. We arrive 10-15 mins early and checked in. They stated that they would get the table ready and call us in shortly. Our reservation time arrived and they still did not have our table ready. After 20 minutes they called us in for our table. We get to the table and they set settings for 7 people in a table setting made for 6, with three tables that are meant for 2 people each. We let them know that the reservation was made for 8. They pushed the tables together and added a chair on each end, and the person sitting at the end kept getting people bumped into them as wait staff walked by. They did not wipe the table from the previous meal so we had to ask them to wipe the table. As they wiped the table they spilled all of food onto the benches of where we were supposed to sit. After a total of 40 minutes of waiting we were finally able to sit, 25 minutes past the actual reservation time. Our waiter was good at recommending portions for our large group. However, I did spot him bragging about the amount of tip he would be getting to other wait staff right next to our table which I thought was inappropriate given the extremely sloppy beginning to our reservation. But hey, the auto gratuity probably helps them given the service is so terrible. They “made up” the delay by giving us churros but we had brought our own cake which they took a while to get for us after we had finished eating. Due to all the delays we ended up being the last table and clearly we were getting ready to leave as we had already closed out our bill but rather than approaching us and talking to us they shut off all the lights. I thought it was rude. Regardless, we came for the food. The tapas were great, the greens and signature drinks were great. The Wellington was decent. The lobster paella was dried out, filled about a quarter of the pan. Not much lobster in it at all which was a major disappointment. Overall, I won’t be coming back.
