   Made reservations for my Wife and I anniversary a week prior to are reservation date,when we arrived we were seated in the back of the restaurant with no view of the main dining room,they had a show called the Flamingo, we couldn’t see it and it was like we were tucked away they never mentioned to us to sit in the main dining room, was disappointed with this, I ordered the  lobster paella Iit had little piece of lobster ,4 nice head on shrimp and Octopus I could barely find , with rice was excellent,the dish was good but I don’t think I would order again., my wife ordered the lobster bacon ravioli it was delicious,and our appetizer was empanadas, which were delicious, the service was excellent just a little disappointed where they sat us and paella was a little disappointed, but if you go ask to be seated were they are having the Flamingo show !

   I really loved this restaurant when it first opened. Even went back several times. I haven’t been there for several years. The cocktails used to be amazing. They are now lackluster. The food is still good, but not the same high quality I remember. Long story short… Won’t be back.

   We enjoy going to Teleferic Barcelona and this visit was no exception. It was a Tuesday evening and the place was not full. This was good because we were able to enjoy our visit with our friends. The food was, as always, interesting and good. But the service was outstanding at this visit. Attentive without being over intrusive. We had a pleasant evening. Thank you!

   Service was wonderful. Gelsy always waited for the right time to come back to take our order. She checked in on us regularly. We ordered the lobster paella and it was so good! Great seasoning and just plain yummy.Lobster meat was on top as well as 4 huge shrimps (heads attached). We also ordered the empanadas with aioli sauce. The four arrived on skewers and they are winners! We wished there were more! We were seated in the back next to the window. It was our first time in this area of the restaurant and it was quieter than the main front room. We enjoyed the calmness here ! We will be back!

   I’m genuinely surprised to be writing this review. I’ve been to Telefèric in Los Gatos and Palo Alto and had amazing experiences, so I expected the Walnut Creek location to meet or even exceed that standard. Unfortunately, it was quite the opposite. The food was barely decent, to say the least. We ordered several tapas to share, and the only standout dish was the ham croquetas. The pan con tomate was especially disappointing — the bread was hard and cold, there was no olive oil, and the tomato spread tasted rushed and not fresh, despite taking nearly 25 minutes to arrive. We also ordered the tortilla española, and no one mentioned it came with pan con tomate — so we ended up with 8 pieces of the same underwhelming bread. The tortilla itself was just okay, but it lacked onion, which is a pretty classic ingredient. We were also really let down by the service. One waiter, in particular, was pouring water in a noticeably rude and careless way. At one point, while my partner was showing me something on her phone and we were mid-conversation, he just leaned in and interrupted to refill water, without a word. The chicken parmigiana was decent, though the person who poured the sauce seemed unsure of what they were doing. To top it off, the music was excessively loud, and the playlist — a throwback, party-style Latin reggaeton — didn’t match the restaurant’s otherwise upscale and refined vibe. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, especially given my past visits to other locations. I truly expected better.

    Not worth the price of a regular $46 paella mista! You could hardly see and taste the ingredients. They're thinly sliced that you can not tell what they are . You can see three tasteless shrimps on top. Hey, Teleferic, you can do better than that!
