Michelle S.11 months ago 1 person found this helpfulQ:
Is it reservation only or do they take walk-ins?
A:
It's a large restaurant, particularly when they can use the outdoor seating, weather permitting. So, depending on the time of day ( I love that they are open all day!) you can easily do a walk-in.

Delicious and great service. If you know the cuisine it's what you expect and more. If you haven't tried Spanish food the opportunity to try a little of this and that is a great way to get a taste of traditional and elevated dishes.
Cocktails, beer, and wine are well curated. There is something for everyone!
The team at this location is particularly well managed and attentive. A must eat & drink in Los Gatos.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Apr 29, 2024
I've been here twice now, once as part of a company event and once with family. Overall, I think the food is high quality and unique. I like the tapas concept although I think the tapas portions could be bigger for the price.
The highlights of the tapas were the jamon iberico, tuna tacos, crab croquettes, brussel sprouts, and octopus. The jamon is really good but was a bit salty the second time I came.
I wasn't a huge fan of the vegetable paella, think I didn't like the seaweed base. However, the drinks and dessert were both great. I liked the torrija over the churros.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Geno N.Morgan Hill, CA05919Apr 28, 2024

Made reservations for a Sunday evening to celebrate my husband's birthday. Once arriving, the hostess wished him a happy birthday and we were seated immediately.
Service was quick and friendly at the start of the meal but dropped off towards the end. Our waiter ended his shift mid meal and we were assigned another waiter. He was nice, but was not super attentive. He did not acknowledge my husband's birthday until I inquired if there was anything special they could do for him.
The food was for the most part very tasty. However I do not think the price point justified the portions provided. For example, the paella bombs were $6 each for a tiny deep fried arancino. It was supposed to be filled with shrimp bisque but it came separately in a syringe for us to inject. A fun concept, but the bisque gushed out of the sides.
The prime Wellington we ordered was $38 and was the size of a hot pocket and came with just three tiny potatoes. The jamon iberico ($29) did not come with any bread so we had to order pan con tomate ($9) on the side. The all seasons salad was basically the consistency of guacamole. My husband said he had ordered this same dish a few months ago and the texture was completely different. The table next to us ordered the same dish they did not finish it as well. The cocktails we ordered were pretty but just okay in flavor.
We ordered the Torrija for dessert. After our waiter brought out the dessert, he brought out a smaller portion of Torrija with a candle as the "birthday dessert". I appreciate the gesture but it seemed a little odd to have 2 portions of the same thing. We also noticed that they charged an automatic gratuity of 20% for a party of 2. We usually tip 20% anyways but I feel like that choice should be up to the customer.
I wish I could rate this restaurant higher, but after reflecting, I think a 3/5 is fair given our experience.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 2Business owner information

Hola April. Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're sorry to hear that your last visit to our restaurant did not meet your expectations.
It really breaks our heart to hear that your husband's birthday celebrations was not up to our standards. Please know we understand how inconvenient it can be to not be informed of the birthday dessert you will get and we apologize for the inconvenience. We will make sure our management team shares this experience with our front of the house team so they make sure our servers share this information with our guests if the same dessert has been ordered.
Your experience regarding the paella bombs and all seasons salad it deeply important to us and we strive to meet our guests expectations with each and every dish we serve. Please know we'll work to improve the overall experience of our restaurant.
It's important for you to know that the 20% service charge is used to equally distribute the tip to all the staff involved in the serving process (and not only your server). However, this service charge can be removed by your server or a manager, especially when the service is not on point.
We would love it if you could give us another chance. If so, please connect at info@telefericbarcelona.com.

The vibes here are immaculate. This modern Spanish restaurant is perfect for birthday dinners or a casual place to get drinks with friends.
I look forward to the drinks the most here! The cocktails are very creative with beautiful presentation. My favorites are the sangria barceloneta with cava (also has lemonade, raspberry, and rosemary flavors) and the rose drink. Others I came with ordered the gin and tonic and red sangria and they were all amazing. Such attention to detail.
Next, the food is high quality. My favorite tapas are the octopus and the crispy tuna tacos. I also tried the paella and skewers. Everything was seasoned well and perfectly balanced. Especially the octopus! Bonus points for food presentation as well.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Apr 6, 2024
I have mixed feelings about this place! The tapas were wonderful but the paella was disappointing. I ordered the tuna tacos, patatas bravas, and the squid ink paella.
What worked:
-- the potatoes were delicious and super creamy!
-- there was a nice mix of seafood in the paella
-- service was great and the space was lively but not too loud
What didn't work:
-- the paella disappointed. I felt like there wasn't a lot of flavor, the rice seemed like it needed a little more time to cook, and there was no crispy rice at the bottom of the pan (disappointing!)
Overall, I'd come back for tapas, not for an entree or paella. I think this would be a great place if you want drinks and to try a variety of small dishesHelpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hola Mira. Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're sorry to hear that our paella was not up to our standards at the time of your visit.
We understand how disappointing it can be when a dish falls short of standards. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we will address it with our culinary team to ensure improvements are made. Additionally, we want to clarify that our crispy rice, known as 'socarrat,' is not included by default in the paella but can be requested upon ordering.
We would love it if you could give us another chance. If so, connect at info@telefericbarcelona.com

Ordered: Crab Croqueta, Paella Negra, Barceloneta Sangria
To start, this restaurant's ambiance is very nice! You don't have to dress fancy, more casual than classy. Lights are pretty low, but each table kinda has its own spotlight.
We ordered the crab croquetas as our appetizer and it amazed me. Mashed potato and crab filling fried with a panko crust and topped with a slice of tuna and drizzled with some sort of garlic aioli. It was beautiful. Keep in mind though, the appetizer only comes in 2 pcs and they're pretty small, but definitely worth trying in my opinion!
We also ordered the Barceloneta Sangria. It was very pretty drink coming out (the bright pink shined under the restaurant lights), BUT I would recommend skipping this. It just tasted like sparkling water with a small hint of berry. Definitely not worth but it is pretty for pictures.
The paella negra was the last dish to come out (I think it took around 30-40 minutes so keep in mind that you should not order this if you're in a rush). This was a really good dish! Squid inked rice filled with octopus, scallop, clam and shrimp, it definitely had a good amount of seafood and the flavor was on point.
Overall, would love to come back here and try the other paella.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 1 - 01762May 1, 2024
This place is amazing! Reservations were made way in advance, and I can see why. The place was packed when we got there. Both indoors and outside have a cute vibe. They have outdoor heaters which are nice and lots of lighting. We sat indoors, and we were greeted right away with a smile. Their menu has lots of options, and the server was able to make suggestions based on our likings. The food turned out great. So flavorful. Presented neatly. We left full and completely satisfied.

I'm saying this was average. Nothing amazing but decent food, atmosphere and service.
A Sunday lunch outing with my husband and grandson. No kid options, so we got him empanadas. He didn't care for it we had to force him to eat 1.5.
The chicken. empanada tasted a little like stew meat. Flavorful with unseasoned breading. A good size and the aioli was bland. Had a mayo texture and taste.
The best in flavor and texture was the All Season Salad. Delicious. Fresh and light. Perfect for the sunny day today. I would order this again and again. I could eat it without sharing too.
Patatas Bravas - I wasn't sure what to expected but disappointing. Tasted like country breakfast potatoes, drenched in sauce. I would not recommend. The white sauce again tasted like a creamy mayo and too much of it. The red sauce "bravas" was a bit better a super mild spice. Tasted like salsa roja. I'd say skip it. The potato was not crunchy and for some reason I expected a little crunch with all the sauce.
Pulpo Teleferic - octopus. Decent overall flavor. Tasted a little more like an ocean than I've had at other places. A little overcooked and rubbery. The potato purée was delicious but needed more of it to accompany each bite. The plate had a mild char flavor not sure where that came from. I would skip it for the price. The end tentacle was super hard. I left that on the plate after biting into it.
Kebab skewers (2). My husband wanted these. The price and quantity matched up. There was either peppers or tomato between meat chunks- yummy. The meat tasted good. It came with thin crispy flour chip like a crispy Nan with hummus. That was good a little oily. The meat were small like the size of a grape.
The brussel sprouts were cooked how we expected with a fried char. The aged cheese was creamy like Burrata cheese.
The crab croquetas were very good. The tuna was thinly sliced and not fishy. The inside of the croquet was creamy vs fluffy and the crab was delicate. Not sure what the crab was mixed with to be creamy.
My husband orders the sangria flight. All the cocktails were good. The spicy was biter at first in comparison to the sweet alternatives. He ended up ordering the sangria barconeleta as his favorite option. It was the middle ground from sweet to spicy.
I had the La Flaca and it was yummy and strong. I only needed 1. It came with a smoky bubble on top to make a well balanced cocktail.
My grandson was looking forward to the La Cookie. The first one came and was rock hard. Sent it back and a new one came and was good. The cookie bread was not sweet and it was filled with chocolate. The ice cream on top was about a table spoon size. The cookie is rich and we brought 1/2 home to our son who said it was delicious. I would rather have something else if I'm getting dessert.
The bill for that was $207 for lunch. We did not add extra tip because they had already added 20% gratuity (for table of 3).
The outdoor patio was cozy and comfortable with the great weather. We sat on the bench side with chairs. The bench is deep and may have been nice to have pillows. The shade was perfect so we did not get sun baked.
I walked away wishing I would have just ordered a paella. I will try the restaurant again for that.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Teleferic not just once, but twice, and both experiences were absolutely amazing.
Let's start with the drinks. Teleferic offers a unique selection of beverages that truly stand out. Each sip was a refreshing burst of flavor that left me wanting more. One drink that particularly impressed me was the mare and tonic. Its smooth and delightful taste made it an instant favorite. Sitting at the bar was an experience in itself and added an extra layer of enjoyment to our evening.
Now, let's talk about the food. The paella and vegetables at Teleferic were nothing short of perfection. The paella had just the right amount of socarrat, and the vegetables were fresh and bursting with taste.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
