    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!
    Telefèric Barcelona - Walnut CreekResponded 1 day ago
    Hola Bernie! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear that your recent visit didn’t meet the high standards we strive for, especially when it comes to the food.

Our Paella Mixta is among our most beloved dishes, and we understand how disappointing it can be when they don’t live up to expectations and we take your comments seriously. We truly value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to offer you a more enjoyable visit in the future. Thank you for bringing these details to our attention! Gracias!

    What a great experience! I've wanted to go to this restaurant for a long time and had a chance to do so with a visiting friend who is a chef. We loved everything. From the welcome we received from the hosts to our knowledgable and attentive waiter, we were happy to be there. The tapas are delicious and our waiter was an excellent guide. We enjoyed the drinks--very generous and very pretty, The evening was truly a delight, I am anxious to bring others very soon.
