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.

One our favorite restaurants. Food and service is always great! The noise level is terrible! For a restaurant of the caliber we should be able to have a conversation without repeating ourselves or shouting! The owners need to figure this out!

Amazing as always. My wife and I had our first date here in November 2001. We have continued to frequent Barcelona as our favorite central Ohio restaurant. The staff is top-notch. The food is to die for. Consistent quality every time.

Our party of five celebrated a birthday at Barcelona and we had a terrific experience as usual. It was a beautiful evening and we dined on the newly renovated patio (gorgeous). Our server Sarah was friendly, attentive and did an outstanding job of taking care of us. The cocktails (Lucas, the bartender is a master), wine, tapas and main dishes were all delicious (can’t say enough about the Barcelona Paella and the scallops!). I highly recommend Barcelona!!
