Everything at Barcelona was wonderful! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was vibrant and energetic. Our server was so kind and attentive. There was always staff around picking up plates shortly after we were done, filling drinks, and bringing our food out fresh from the kitchen. We can't wait to go back and sit on the patio (it was raining when we arrived)

The Paella Barcelona was a joke. I am from Spain and that tasted like tomato rice with seafood on top. The mussels were a joke. All dried out. I didnt even eat it. Waste of money. Our server was fantastic.

Excellent food and service. I thought the position of the umbrellas was excellent so no one would have sun in their face. Plus the 'red' umbrella made it look festive.

A wonderful experience. The patio is one of the best in Cbus. We will return. It was a first date that will continue our journey of discovery.

The five of us had a great dinner of mostly tapas at Barcelona's Sunday night. They have reduced pricing on wine bottles on Sundays, so that's a plus. The only issue we had is that the kitchen had run out of three things we wanted to order. Barcelona's had had a big lunch crowd that day, so they had run out of some of the popular dishes. Barcelona's has valet parking ($10), which is worth it, thanks to the difficulty in finding street parking. Since I can't eat garlic or onion, the chef very kindly marked up a paper menu for me, showing me the food items I could eat or he could modify to exclude anything from the allium food category. It was a really kind thing to do.

The service was impeccable. There was live music early in our meal. The landscaping for the patio had just been redone. Eating al fresco was delightful.

Wonderful selection of tapas. We had the bread service—so good. Wish I could get my own sourdough bread to taste that good & have the perfect texture. Also had the Jamon Serrano & manchego cheese sandwich, and the braised short rib sandwich. Both good. Loved the patatas bravas! Kuri as so helpful & we never felt rushed.

Lovely lunch on the refurbished patio. Great food and sangria. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Great experience. Only drawback is street noise - especially motorcycles - unfortunately unavoidable.
