Always such a great dining experience at Barcelona. The restaurant space and decor is beautiful, staff is professional, friendly and knowledgeable, and the food is consistently delicious. Tapas is all about sharing so it's a fun way to try new foods with friends, and Barcelona provides the perfect setting. It offers a varied selection of tapas dishes with something for everyone and unique cocktails, beers and Spanish wines. One person in our party couldn't drink alcohol so our server recommended a delicious non-alcoholic gin & tonic that looked and tasted like a signature cocktail! This was our third visit to Barcelona and we'll be going back many more times, no doubt.

My favorite restaurant in town!! Beautiful patio, but couldn’t sit due to rain. Only complaint is they charged me $8 for water with cranberry and lime. Food was amazing and Paul gave us the best service. Thank you!

Our server Sarah was amazing. It was a very warm evening on the patio and the staff were all clearly very hot, but everyone was so friendly and professional. The food was delicious and the desserts were top notch. It’s such a special treat to dine al fresco in that setting, eating that wonderful food.

Barcelona is a really nice restaurant! We enjoyed a quiet table in the back since we had a toddler with us. The food was good but not great. I felt the serving sizes were small even for tapas portions. The short rib plate was wonderful and full of flavor! Our server was excellent and the food did come out quickly

Barcelona has and always will be a favorite restaurant of my family. The food is always delicious and the service impeccable. We eat gear for most special occasions as it is expensive. The new lemon dessert was literally the best thing I’ve ever tasted. I would like to see their tapas menu add some new things. If you go there more than once a year it would be nice to try something new each time.
