    We had an incredible meal featuring stuffed lobster, ribeye, mac and cheese, creamed spinach, and buttered bread—everything was spot on. The steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right, the stuffed lobster was flavorful and generously portioned, and the mac and cheese was surprisingly great—some steakhouses miss the mark, but they nailed it. Even the creamed spinach was a standout. Our server, Janelle, was fantastic—attentive, helpful, and genuinely kind, making the experience even better. The price point is definitely on the higher side, but the food and service make it worth it. Definitely a spot for a special occasion or a well-deserved treat.

    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.
