Review & Rating
Authentic spanish tapas experience with good food. Only concern would be it seats alot of people so may be hard for kitchen to keep up on busy nights. And some tables are right next to other people which can be uncomfortable as you cant have private conversations. They may be better off removing a few tables to make overall experience even better.
Jessica & Sarah we’re a terrific service team, and took great care of us! This pleasant restaurant has a lovely outdoor wraparound patio with an herb garden planted into the surrounding wall. Though we didn’t love the chef’s version of “gazpacho”, the other dishes were truly inspired. The grilled okra and caponata were outstanding! We enjoyed the vibe of the place and will definitely be back.
Good food. Nice vibe. They had a decent DJ last time. The drinks are solid too
The food was great but the service was beyond underwhelming. It seems like they don't know how to handle busy times. We had to wait over 30mins to be seated even with reservations and then we were seated at cramped tables outside at night with no lights, just 2 candles. Tried to surprise my husband with a birthday cake and I had to get up twice to bring it out. We had already paid and was ready to go. We made sure to have a good time still but I definitely would never trust them for good service.
I am visiting from New York and love good wine and good food. The service, food and ambience was superb! We ordered many tapas all of which were tasty! My favorite was the scallops, calamari and goat cheese with figs. The coconut ice cream was so good too. Barcelona is definitely worth it. You will not be disappointed.
Absolutley wonderful experience, we came in on Friday evening August 17. Our waiter Hector was super knowledgeable about the wine list and the menu. All of his recommendations were outstanding and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic experience. 10/10 highly recommend this restaurant.
My family and I spent the Saturday night before Father's Day here and had a fantastic time. It was crowded, but for good reason. This place is amazing. The cocktails are made to perfection, the staff is polite and accommodating, the menu is unique and the food itself is amazing. We were also surprised at the affordability this place offers, considering the quality of food we experienced.
I've been here a few times. Great tasting tapas, the meatballs are one of my favorites. I enjoy the guns and roses sangria as well, but it isn't really a sangria in my opinion (it's champagne and vodka and no real fruit). It's enjoyable however. If you're coming on a busy night make a reservation and be there on time, if you are late at all, your place is gone. The service is great and if anything isn't they give you free tapas without a limit of how many tokens you can use.
!!UPDATE!! I feel much better after sharing my experience with the owner. He expressed sincere concern, apologized, assured us that the matter had been rectified, and he made an effort to keep our business. I can appreciate his appreciation of the business he receives from everyone that visits his establishment. And for that, I intend to return. My Mom, fiance, and I visited Barcelona after viewing our wedding venue on a Sunday afternoon. We were rushed out after spending close to $200. The picture taken was of the bread. It was funny because the first serving of bread was neatly placed in the can/bucket. But my fiance was not satisfied with his two orders of topas so he asked for more bread. The second serving appeared to be half a loaf thrown on top of the bucket. It was no big deal. We just thought it was really funny so I took a picture to capture the memory. Well, after the final experience and looking back at the picture, I can clearly see a server glaring at us. He was not our sever. But our servers were no better (Apparently 2 servers are required per table). I do NOT recommend this establishment.
Second time at this establishment. It instantly became a favorite of mine and my family. Always a great experience and food selection of tapas is delicious. Great atmosphere. The wait is long on a weekend if you dont make a reservation, but still worth it.
