“I was most excited to try Barcelonetta when driving through SC for a couple days from the city and overall, found it to be a pretty good experience. So we wanted the paella and some tapas and well enough, the restaurant had a set menu designed to cater to that perfectly. And honestly if you have an appetite, definitely do this because understand that paella takes a while to make and our waitress did a great job of slowly delivering dishes to us in a means that made the wait feel reasonable (a restaurant that brings their apps before the entrees, smart thinking lol). Great organization to the dining experience here.Jamon Croquetas are simple but insanely good... the right amount of crisp and perfectly cheesy, meaty filling. I was thinking that these would be great if served with either a light sauce or some kind of sweet dip or drizzle.Whipped Feta & Beets/ Fruits: honestly thought this would be an afterthought plate but wowww, this was incredible. A rich feta flavor in every scoop and paired with your choice of various beets/ fruits and some pistachios. Fantastic!Potato balls, nothing too insightful to say they were really good, maybe a bit potato heavy on the filling, preferred the jamon ones we gotHoney salmon toast was the perfect amount of sweet and savory, though a bit small. Needed an extra bite or two to really take it in.Paella was the big one. For the price, you really get a lot of food. I loved that the shrimps were whole and cooked perfectly, same with the other variety of white fish, clams, etc. I couldn't finish this one because wow, overall the paella had so much oil and either due to that or my overconsumption on the appetizers, I was feeling kind sick about halfway through this dish. That didn't stop me because it was super delicious and the socarray was perfect but something to acknowledge lol. Would think that the fish could easily serve 3 or 4 people.So, food was pretty great overall. For me the restaurant atmosphere felt a bit clinical and not lived in from an interior decoration lens. But hey, everyone has their own tastes. With some drinks and tip the whole deal was about $150, which is pretty solid for a good dining experience for two.“
