Who knew something this simple would be so good?! I think the key was that they had really good ingredients. Skip jack with pistachio and sour cream (7.50) - pretty good. We ordered it because it had skip jack which we both haven't had, and I love pistachios! Catch of the day - actually there was nothing super special about this dish. It was fresh, but could've lived without it Hen croquettes (2.50) - This. Was. Amazing. We ordered 4 total because it was so good. Also it had a cute little flower! Octopus - also didn't necessarily need as it wasn't super memorable. It was well made though! There was another dish - don't remember what it was called, but it was very filling. Not sure if they still have it. We also got cava here, which was very good. I definitely recommend it!

I wanted one thing on this fine day, grilled seafood. I did a little looking and found this very popular spot with a line so I queued up. It's set up kinda like a mini fish market, bowls of fresh caught seafood sitting on ice, you choose which ones you want, how much you want, and how you want it prepared. I did come here twice and both times I landed between €50 to €60 so it's not cheap per se. I had their prawns, langoustine, scallop, and octopus all styled a la plancha with some salsa verde and olive oil drizzled over top. Everything was incredible. I genuinely have no nitpicks because there's nothing to nitpick. The seafood was fresh as can be, the garlicky salsa verde and lemon wedge made it nice and vibrant as well. The seafood was perfectly grilled. If I had to choose one though the langoustine was my favorite. It's very delicate in texture and flavor with a nice bit of sweetness in the meat. Next time I'm in Barcelona I will go out of my way to stop here again.

This restaurant was literally right next to our stay in Barcelona--skipping it felt like a crime,…read moregiven the rave reviews. So, on a rainy afternoon, we gave it a shot. We arrived just after lunch opening and were the first customers. The guy at the counter was... efficient. He simply told us to pick what we wanted, tossed it in a bin, and that was that. No explanation of pricing or preparation methods. When we asked how they'd cook it, he casually offered "fried or grilled." Obviously, we chose grilled--why fry fresh seafood? We picked two giant prawns, two octopus tentacles, and two fish (since hubby can't have shellfish). He asked if we wanted salad or soup--reviews hyped the soup, so we went with that. Then he handed us a receipt, told us we were order #3, and sent us to the bar. At the bar, we ordered two sangrias and a water. The bartender asked if we wanted bread and sauce. Sure, why not? We assumed they were included. Surprise! The tiny baguettes cost €0.50 each, and the mystery "house sauce" (a questionable mix of thousand island and horseradish) was an extra €1. We only realized the charge when we saw the total: €73. Oh well, too late now. Then came the food pickup experience--chaotic, to say the least. The server practically barked at us to bring our receipt, aggressively crossed off items, and handed over soups and octopus, crammed onto a greasy tray. No effort at plating, just food haphazardly dumped onto plates. The second round--grilled fish and prawns--was more of the same. Now, the verdict: Soup (5/5) - Delicious and reasonably priced at €6. Would order again. Bread & Sauce (0/5) - Not free, not worth it. Hard pass. Octopus (€31.80 for two tentacles, 1/5) - Overpriced, greasy, and drowning in molten salt. Basically, eating a sodium bomb. Grilled Fish (€10.50 & €8.50, 3/5) - Decent, but unnecessarily oily. Grilled Prawns (€5.59, 0/5) - Mushy, not fresh, and borderline inedible. Final thoughts? Not worth it. With so many incredible food spots in Barcelona, why waste your meal quota here? If you want quality seafood, go to Cervecería Catalana--we spent €5 more, but a meal a thousand times better. Spend wisely and eat like a king.

They have menus in various languages and some of the servers can speak English. We had the Ensalada Mixta which was a large salad of romaine lettuce, tomatoes, red pepper, onion, egg, olives, corn and radicchio. Came undressed with olive oil and vinegar on the side. Plenty for two or even three people. Also had the breaded fried artichoke - so good. Then the seafood paella especial. Loaded with prawns, clams, mussels and other assorted tidbits. Ate it with some good bread on the side and glasses of white wine. So much excellent food. Maybe we will have gelato for dinner. It sounded like they don't take reservations. Friendly staff.

We decided to have my wife's birthday at this restaurant. The service was very good. Our server came by often to see how we were doing. My favorite dish was the garlic shrimp. The shrimp was cooked to perfection, the butter garlic sauce had the right ratio of garlic to butter.... not too garlicky. The sirloin steak was broiled just right as ordered ... medium rare. The steak had flavor of wood our charcoal which gave the flavor of the meat a nice smokey flavor. The grilled salmon was cooked just right. The meat was soft and flaky, not hard or over cooked. The restaurant gave my wife a complimentary dessert for her birthday. This was a great gesture. Overall, we enjoyed our eating experience at Marina Bay restaurant.

Service: Don't expect the most attentive service as they're pretty busy and things move pretty quickly. However, staff are very nice and welcoming. Atmosphere: Pretty much a hole in the wall and nothing fancy. A few tables inside so I would recommend getting there as early as possible as you may have to wait a pretty long time to get a table. Space is very small so expect tables to be very close together and not a lot of room to pass through when going to the bathroom. More suitable for smaller parties.
