"Perfect for dates and birthday celebrations, Tapas Barcelona encourages sharing from its extensive menu of affordable small plates including rotating specials and staples that have been on the menu for nearly 30 years. Carefully fish the sauteed garlic shrimp out of a sizzling dish and then soak up the spicy sauce with bread. Make sure to get plenty of horseradish sauce on the tender grilled beef skewer. Save some room for a lightly cooked banana covered in caramel sauce and pistachios served with a scoop of ice cream." - Samantha Nelson
