About this restaurant

Picasso Restaurant & Bar specializes in Spanish-style tapas and offers a wide selection of beer and cocktails. Inside the restaurant, a Picasso painting has come to life. The tables are decorated with a design reminiscent of the great painter's geometric designs, while prints of his work hang on the wall. The colors are a wonderful mash of bright reds, blues and yellows, giving Picasso Restaurant & Bar a look that is unlike any other. Guests can also enjoy live entertainment on select evenings. The menu's tapas are meant to be ordered a few at a time and shared amongst friends. Picasso Restaurant & Bar has many seafood options, like the grilled calamari, crab cakes, PEI mussels and shrimp skewers. If guests want something heartier and more satisfying, there is also a menu section of larger grilled entrees, like the hangar steak and Pablo burger.

    Tapas are fun so Picasso, is an integral part of the foodie fun scene in Media! It was our first time. It would be a great place to bring a group and just sample all of the different tapas. They share a kitchen with La Belle Epoque, so I surmise that it is common ownership and allows LBE to offer an informal hangout option while extracting more revenue from the kitchen. Good idea.. Many of the tapas are really appetizers as opposed to the bite-sized tapas one gets in Madrid. Perhaps the menu could be expanded. With a little more focus, this place could blossom.

    We were excited for our dinner at Picasso with our family of 4. Things got off to a bad start, we asked to be seated at a booth but they instead sat us in the middle of the main floor despite there being no one else in the restaurant. The hostess said they were too booked up to move us. The restaurant was empty the majority of the time we were there and the booth was open that time. The mussels were good as was the cheese and meat plate. The grilled calamari had way too much garlic and the white bean salad was ok. There is a good menu but the poor service and attitude we received turned us off.

    Food was varied, interesting and tasty. Our waitress was pleasant and accommodating. Noise level was higher than I like (you almost had to shout to talk across a small table).. Tables are too small for a tapas restaurant. Our party of four did six tapas dishes. They were served three at a time, partly because that was all that would fit on the table (and even then it was awkwardly crowded). The other problems were that we weren't asked which three tapas we wanted served together, and there was a long delay between the first group of three and the second group pf three being brought to the table.

    Everything was very good - food and service. The tequila choices were disappointing. Not enough choices or flexibility for vegetarians. The menu found on OPEN TABLE for this restaurant was outdated. I didn't expect this to be a tapas only menu; on the OPEN TABLE menu it showed entrees including pastas and more vegetarian choices.

    Have been to PIcasso several times for the fabulous beer selection and the wonderful food. The food menu is smallish, but inventive and delicious. I'm a fish-eating vegetarian and have never had a problem, especially since they have a decent list of veg-friendly tapas. Justin is our favorite server; he's extremely knowledgeable about beer and really friendly. Eat outside in summer on a Dining Under the Stars night, it's a great experience!

    This restaurant was so noisy, my husband and I couldn't hear each other at all. The food wasn't exciting and the restaurant was boring. It felt like we were in a restaurant in a strip mall. We won't be going again,

    If you like to wait for your server, a limited menu along with a limited bar, this is the place for you!!! Terrible Idea , I will not return.

    It was Jazz Fest night in Media, which certainly impacted our service. BUT, it took an hour and a half to be served. The wine, declared "our best" by our waiter, was terrible. We ordered several tapas, which were uniformly mediocre. The sauces were particularly odd matches for the foods they should have enhanced. No reason to go back, even for a drink!

    Upon arrival place was empty. Hostess seated us in a very uncomfortable corner stuffed up against the bar. After some exchange, as we were leaving to go to another place we were offerre another of the many available tables.
