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.

Perfect place for a date night! My boyfriend and I enjoyed dinner on the patio. Our server Kuri was very attentive and able to answer questions about gluten free options! Drinks, tapas, paella, and dessert were all absolutely delicious!

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!

Scott Heimlich has run one of Columbus‘s best restaurants in Columbus for 33 years. The food was scrumptious and the service was perfection. And there’s still free parking in German Village!
