The Turquoise - Reviews

My experience at this venue was fantastic! It's a great venue for performances, and I've enjoyed both good music and comedy here. The staff were friendly, and the tasty tapas menu was a definite plus.

My experience at this restaurant was a complete waste of space. The venue itself is cool, but it was never busy. On the one occasion my friends and I visited on a Saturday night, there was no staff around. When a waiter finally appeared, he essentially told us we were better off leaving because the place is just not good. This was a truly disappointing experience.

This place is a hidden gem with an amazing atmosphere. The live music added to the experience, and they have a good wine selection. I also enjoyed the games available. I can’t wait to go back.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's the newest secret in PB, and I'm so glad I discovered it. I'd been walking by to go to the birrieria next door, but this place has perfect vibes and dope food. They also offer dancing and live music a few nights per week, which adds to the great atmosphere.

My experience at this restaurant has been phenomenal since 2016! While they've transitioned to phone ordering due to labor shortages, it's a smooth and easy process. The music is good, the food specials are delicious, and the ambience is fantastic. It's disappointing to see negative reviews when issues can be resolved by communicating with the helpful staff. I look forward to more good times here!

My newest favorite spot! The place is impeccable, so much personality, service is exceptional and the vibes are impeccable. The live music, the food and the wine list are all amazing, and oh, if you’re Brazilian, you’re gonna love the voz e violão cantando MPB in this place! 10/10 will recommend to everyone I know!

My experience at this restaurant was certainly a weird spot, offering an interesting deviation from typical corporate dining. Upon arrival, there's no traditional service; instead, you're greeted by explanatory signs and provided with plastic silverware. Seating is self-service. You can place your order either via a QR code or at the bar. The portions were small and served on plastic plates that you pick up from the counter. The food options seemed reheated from previously cooked batches, with hints of Kirkland Signature. By the time we left, there was a large group dancing inside, possibly family of the proprietor. Overall, it was a weird experience.

As someone from northwestern Spain, I had high hopes for this restaurant, but I was sorely disappointed. The food was just 'meh, ' and the wait time for service was awful. The atmosphere felt very touristy and kitschy. Perhaps my expectations were too high, or maybe this is an objectively 2-star place. You decide 🤷‍♀️.

I've frequented this place several times over the years and as a cafe, a bar, and entertainment spot, I really do not have any complaints. I have enjoyed many nights out enjoying good food and music here. UNFORTUNATELY, when I have to question the integrity and character of the people who work at or own the business, it greatly compromises how I can even give a second thought about recommending this place to anyone, leaving me inclined to alert others of this issue. On December 14th, I contacted the business through the website email to inquire about gift cards. Basilio Ceravalo, the owner, promptly responded, confirming I could purchase any amount gift card via PayPal, and he would create and email it. On Dec 16th, I notified him that the payment was sent, intending it as a Christmas gift and hoping for a quick delivery. After no response by Dec 19th, I reached out again via personal email, still without a reply. On Dec 21st, I messaged through PayPal, explaining I still hadn't received a response or the gift certificate. He responded the same day, stating he was working on it and would email it the following day. Needless to say, that was the last I've heard from him. I've since messaged him through PayPal requesting a refund. At this point, no matter how much I have enjoyed myself at Cafe Bar Europa in the past, I will no longer recommend this business in good faith and hope others are cautious dealing with transactions like this. I typically would never PayPal money like this but I had assumed this business and its owner to be quite reputable and honorable. Wrong. Lesson learned.

I'm not sure what's going on here. My experience was that the restaurant was closed on a Friday night (9/23/22), despite the sign being lit and candles on the tables. It left me wondering if they still exist. It was a sad experience.
