Barcelona Bistro Bar

We found This place by accident while stuck in traffic out front. We decided to go ahead and give it a try and we were very pleasantly surprised. The service was absolutely fantastic. Our server had great suggestions since we had never had anything from this restaurant before. She went above and beyond for sure. My wife had the ribs and I had the lasagna bolognese. They were both fantastic! I definitely recommend trying this place out. We are going to work it into our regular rotation of dining spots.

Waited to be seated or seen. Was given water and had to wait to order drinks. One server in the entire establishment during our visit. She was nice, but having my husband served in advance of myself, his side salad half done, and lasagna tested, before I received my pasta, is not an enjoyable dining experience. No complimentary bread, soda are priced per glass (no refills). Still not clear on why tea is $2.89 and soda $1.75 My husband and I both agree it felt nickle and dime there, meaning they want every penny they can get. At the end of the day I don't mind paying though the experience has to be good. This wasn't. The prices weren't bad but the overall platings weren't good. Who orders eggplant parm and only expects a few slices of eggplant, no pasta, side, or bread? This wasn't that kind of restaurant... ala cart? No! lol Parking felt back alley as we had to park around the alley in back and walk to the front. Food taste was good, nothing special, very high calorie as potatoes were drenched in butter, pasta had blue cheese crumble over kill. Menu is via mobile app. We were going to try desserts, but the $2.89 up charge for a second glass of mostly ice tea had me changing my mind. I would not recommend or return. They play at being too cheap and skimpy for me. This restaurant needs to decide its target audience. If they want to offer small plates, high end, then the food needs to be improved, menu changed, prices raised. They are trying to straddle and failing. Pick a direction and stay in that lane. This restaurant ranks 1 dollar but its comparable to Spirit airlines vs Delta.. the cheap comes out expensive. Can you do basic? Sure...will you love basic? Not a chance. Will you spend more than this restaurant ranks? Absolutely! Don't bank on $ on this rating! Lastly, the chairs are not comfortable! If you are above average size you will not like these seats! See picture! This is casual and low cost seating not meant to linger in..

This place is so good. The lasagna and the crepe were really good. We also had baguettes with tomatoes and spicy potatoes. The sauce on the potatoes was amazing ( I also ate it with the bread). Our server was nice and attentive, but I don't remember her name. Strawberry margarita was good. They had a promotion today ( Thursday). I think it was 1 dollar off on the draft beer. The parking lot was a little bit too small. But I really liked the place.

I wish they had actual menus. The restaurant had us use our cell phones. Appetizers and dessert were fabulous!! Main entrees were good, but not as good as the appetizers and dessert. We would consider going for the appetizers and desserts! Wine overpriced, even at "half off special." We LOVED the "Bomba de carne" appetizer!! And you CANNOT skip the Spanish traditional churros and chocolate dip for that sweet tooth!!

The food was really nice. One app we ordered was tasty but smaller than expected. We will skip the fried spanish Chistorra next time. The decor was really nice but the chairs were uncomfortable & when the restaurant was filled, it was VERY loud. That made it very hard to have a conversation.

This place was DELICIOUS and authentic. The croquetas and the garlic shrimp especially were insanely good. Mario was a great server, very helpful and sweet. I will 1,009% be back!!

Great drinks and great food. Our waitress was amazing. The atmosphere was very warm and looked clean. We had the eggplant parmigiana. It was absolutely delicious. Edit: Came back and tried the Paella and charcuterie board, octopus. I recommend it all. It was absolutely delicious, the Paella was the best Paella I have ever had. Chef came out when it closed and said hi to us. She was great and the waitress was amazing too. She was extremely knowledgeable on all the plates and drinks. Can't wait to come back! I went on a Friday evening and it was full but there was no wait.

As we walked in, I instantly noticed this place had a cozy atmosphere and a "home-like" feel. We were invited to sit where we wanted, and upon seating, our drink orders were taken. As a heads up, this place has a piece of paper with scan code as their menu. They *might* have traditional paper menus somewhere, but I still thought that I should let anyone know who may not be accustomed to these things. So, our drinks arrived quickly, and we immediately ordered our food because the paella is listed as taking 30-50 minutes depending on how busy they are. Our apps came out first, and within 15 minutes our paella had arrived. It looked and smelled amazing! Plus the socarrat was beautifully done and you could see this dish was cooked with experience and care. We enjoyed the crispy fried chicken app and of course the paella! My only negative is that the sangria tasted very watered down as if no alcohol was in it. For 32 bucks for the pitcher, I felt somewhat let down. However, we enjoyed our experience and will certainly return. :)
