So I ordered a steak and shrimp Paella, steak medium rare. Steak was cooked perfectly if only the to go box was about 10 times bigger lol. Server was very friendly same with the bartender. This is something I will be getting again and suggest others to try.

Nice spot with Spanish/Mediterranean inspired dishes. The bartender was fantastic. Glad I stopped by.

I had a reservation at Barcelona for lunch with some
colleagues. Granted, it was Stampede and the place was hopping, but it took an hour and twenty five minutes to get our food from when we ordered. When I finally got my food, it was cold, dry and extremely salty, and the portions were also quite small for the cost. I only ate half of my burger before deciding to pay the bill and leave. It may be better outside of Stampede but I won’t be back to try.

Nice ambiance. Food was great. Might get too crowded on lunch breaks coz it’s in the center of a business center area.

Came in with my girlfriend. Appetizers and food came out quick and tasted really good but I cannot believe what was served as my “steak sandwich”. One of the highest priced menu items that took an hour to serve. We decided to box it up and take it home to open up this.

One of the best family dinners we've ever had. The food was amazing, the staff really helpful and attentive. It could not have been better in any way.

Was in the mood for Paella, They had 4.1 stars , how bad could it be?
Place was nto spanish but more bar/resto
Music was loud
Paella was rice served on a skillet, Was ok at best
Ordered wine from the happy hours, only to be charged triple. When i asked, she said menu has changed. She ended up removing from the bill.
Would i go back, short answer is no

The service👍🏻, but the food was awful, dishes were very spicy(ingredients mix weird)The soup is very thick. Please don't order the cheesecake, it tastes like salt. The non-alcoholic drinks are very, very small(5oz) and $8 😬. There are other better places nearby

The bartender tried to steal money from me, and on top of that, when he gave me my money back, he acted like I was the one playing dumb in front of the manager. I will definitely not be coming here again. If you do come, make sure they don’t try to steal from you.

40 dollars for 2 oz of black label that's how much they try to charge me.

The bartender takes money for his “honorary” without asking, it’s illegal to take your “tip” without asking the costumer, but anyway, great way to get costumers not to tip again.

Seafood Paella and the Chicken Wings tastes so good! All the staff are friendly. Looking forward to try their cocktails on our next visit.

Watched an Oilers play off game there, was neat little spot. Those garlic cheese puffs are something else 😋 will be back
