    This restaurant remains one of the great gems of the Columbus restaurant scene. It is simply fabulous—atmosphere, service, food, and drink. They added two new dishes to their menu—chicken and salmon. I had the chicken dish, and it was FABULOUS!!! It was a pepper barbecue to die for. We started with tasty tapas and finished with their decadent chocolate flourless cake and vanilla ice cream dessert. Yum.

    Service was professional & friendly. Food was excellent- traditional, flavorful & cooked perfectly, however the paella was lacking enough protein. I’d order additional protein: sausage, chicken & shrimp next time.

    Wonderful night out with our son and his wife. We enjoyed paella for 4 and several bottles of wine. The food, wine and service were all wonderful as always.

    Overall the food was good but the value and portions just ruined the experience for both my wife and I. The dish we ordered had barely any protein in it , this dish listed 5 different types. The price being asked and for a dish that is often shared between two people it left us disappointed.

    Barcelona routinely makes it easy to have an exceptional evening with friends without worrying if everyone will find what they like on the menu. We enjoyed some favorites and tried some new delicious dishes. The energy of this space is always exciting and comforting. The staff create a perfect atmosphere by meeting every want and need while playing sort of a behind the scenes role rather than demanding attention for their performance. Everything about our visit was wonderful and satisfying. Kudos and thank you Barcelona!
