Ascent Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
We love our dinner night at Ascent Restaurant. Tino and Jose are super friendly and make our night specials! Food is delicious and price reasonable. We ordered seafood paella and Iberico. Love both the dishes. We will be definately want to go back to Ascent Restaurant on our next trip to Barcelona.
We had a lovely experience here. My wife and I had been walking around looking for a venue that has decent food and is indoors for some much needed AC for nearly a hour and we were lucky enough to find this restaurant. We came to Ascent and found the staff to be very lovely and accommodating, especially RJ who made the venue come to life. Very professional, very helpful and just a great staff member. Ascents lucky to have such a team. The food was great and they helped me with my Gluten intolerance. So for us it was a great experience. Plenty of extras added to the meal with no extra cost. Make sure to ask for the cocktail menu as the margaritas amazing. Please excuse the photos as it was end of the night and they were packing up.
Incredible food but the service was simply on another level, forgot to ask the name of the girl unfortunately. But if you come here hope you receive the same treatment. (It’s in a hotel so it was a bit hard to find at first at least for me)
