                    Everything we ordered was delicious. We even topped it off with a burnt orange cheesecake. Our experience was great, need to give credit to our amazing server, Maia. Best Greek ribs I have ever had. If you like seafood order the Paella. You can’t go wrong

                    Good food at a decent price point. Can be in front with all the energy or in the back where it is a bit more tranquil. A good choice for breakfast when they are offering it (check/reserve first).

                    Had a wonderful dinner experience on New Year’s Eve at Barcelona. We had an early seating, our server Brooke brought a ton of positive energy to the party and took great care of us. The food was excellent, as always, and I was pleased that the whole menu was available. Too often on NYE you get a pre-set menu that so many restaurants believe offers great value but as a patron it’s very frustrating to experience. Barcelona, thankfully, made everything available and that’s exactly what we wanted. Great food, great service and great value. I just wish it was closer to home so I could get there more often.
