About the restaurant

Barsecco is a stylish restaurant & lounge that transforms from bright and open to sensual and inviting by night. Enter just off Brickell Avenue onto the breezy canopied terrace where eclectic seating, draping vines and reclaimed barn wood welcome guests to mingle, dine and relax. Inside, plush interiors, towering tree and low lighting lend a seductive edge to an otherwise cozy space.

In the later hours, programming infuses energy to ensure the mood is right for a convivial night feel fueled by cocktails, music and late night bites.

Wow! Who would have thought this authentic Cuban restaurant would have been in downtown Concord. What a great surprise. Our reservation was at 7 but we were so hungry we arrived at 6 in hopes they would seat us early, which they did. We obviously couldn't be picky about the location of our table, which was right in front of the entertainment, so it was a bit loud. But the music and singing were great. The menu selection was extensive and it was hard to choose. We both started out with beef empanadas. They were perfect. Beef was well seasoned and empanada was fried to perfection and flakey. I had the Pollo Relleno con Espinacas (chicken stuffed with spinach with a delicious mojo and cheese sauce) and my girlfriend had the Pollo a al Milanesa (lightly fried chicken breast topped w/ham and cheese and sofrito sauce). Both were served with black beans and rice with small pieces of pork and your choice of plaintains. The portions were quite large. We both took lefthovers with us. I wish I had saved room for dessert. They have a full service bar and my Cuba Libre was yummy, both of them!!! My friend said her Expresson Martini was one of the best she's had. I can't wait to return and try some of their beef dishes. The wait staff was tremendous, checking on us several times to make sure all was good. And the fact they accomodated us early was a plus. This was such a pleasant experience. Definitly check it out.
