   While I don’t think one’s a fault if the restaurant per se, we weren’t seared until Approximately 30 minutes after our reservation.

   It was a Sunday after Christmas and we weren’t certain how busy but it was packed by the time we finished dinner (approximately after 7:30). We weren’t certain quickly seated when we arrived. We both started with drinks. My Manhattan was tasty but in a fairly small rock glass for $15 and my wife had a NA Spritz that was $13 in long stem glass with lots of ice (seemed a bit pricey). We both had a bowl of gazpacho which was large and was very tasty. It’s was delightful. My wife had the salmon special which was delicious and came with shishito peppers . I had their Cameron tapas shrimp which were also extremely delicious. We finished with tres leches which was flavorful and has a great texture.

   The ambience is great but the service was terrible from Start to finish. Bartender made our drinks but didn’t serve us. Just lined them up and there was one too many as he didn’t pay attention to our revised order. We had to serve ourselves the drinks. Our waitress not engaged and acted like she wanted to be anywhere but there. Braised beef was delicious and the empanadas good but nothing special. Overall we were disappointed as it came highly recommended.

   Always a wonderful time when dining here. They were out of Costillas but our server recommended the flat iron which did not disappoint.

   Fantastic restaurant, great service and delicious food. Our waiter David made us feel welcome and made the dining experience extra fun. When we go back we will be sure to ask for him again.

   Restaurant is nice and not too tight on space. Server was very thorough, almost a bit too informative and "scripted sales", making sure to recommend things on every course and such. Food came out pretty cold (quite quickly for that matter), so I'm not sure if for the tapas plates they pre-prepare them or they just had extra, but the short rib, patatas, and sausage were all luke warm. Creme Catalan was good, really nice consistent. Whatever the red whipped cream was had no flavor. Really excellent wine list. Would go back to give them another shot.

    Love this place! Highly recommend! We took friends last Sunday evening as they had never dined at Barcelona. They LOVED it! They are looking forward to a return visit.
