    The food was great. A nice variety of small plates to satisfy many palettes. Vegan, gluten free and carnivore. Drinks were good all were a great value and offered a plenty of Mediterranean and Latin Fare. Service was friendly and welcoming. The location and ambience were amazing. Stunning views of the Harbor, spacious seating, comfortable and convenient. Will definitely return.

    I have been to Barca about a dozen times, but this was my boyfriend's first time. We love that the restaurant is dog friendly. The wait staff was so loving to my boyfriend's dog, giving her several little treats and a nice bowl of water. The menu was amazing and our food selection was even better. I always spend way too much money at Barca, but the staff, the location and the food make it all worth while.

    Tapas for Sunday Brunch is a great choice - lots of variety in the menu, and each dish was excellent. Service and Ambiance both A+ for a nice late morning dining experience on the water

    Food was absolutely delicious and location on the pier along the river was very nice. Service was excellent. They recognized the birthday boys with candles and free dessert, which was a nice touch. It was expensive, however. Also, there was loud music blasting so we couldn’t hear each other and thus having a conversation was difficult, if not impossible.

    Food was SO good, absolutely in love with the whipped goat cheese dip, pan con tomate, and the sol y sombra cocktail!! And our server was super sweet, funny, and attentive. Really great summery vibes, and the fire table was awesome. Honestly one of my new favorite places!

    The food was fantastic! Maybe the best pita bread I’ve ever had and the service was top notch. Seated at 1200 on a beautiful Mother’s Day and the speed of service made it feel empty. Really great dining experience!
