The staff were extremely friendly, attentive and gave great recommendations. We enjoyed everything we ordered and would highly recommend going here again. The volume of the place was just fine for conversation and the I enjoyed the ambiance.

Nice upbeat atmosphere but a bit loud conversational noise. We love tapas and some here were quite good. We would particularly recommend the patatas bravas, chicken thighs, truffle bikini and beef empanadas. We enjoyed the chocolate cake desert. We particularly liked the fact that the wine by the glass is also available as a 3oz glass (priced at exactly half of the 6oz glass) making it tempting to taste different wines. I really enjoyed the Spanish Bardos vinhedos de altura-Ribera del dueto wine. Street parking can be challenging, depending on the time of day.

It's ok. Music is off if the place is "Spanish" themed. You can get better Serrano and Manchego at Surdyk's for a fraction of the cost.

Thank you to our lovely server Amber who was so kind and even ran to grab me club soda + napkins when I spilled hollandaise on my white shirt. The food and drinks were all sensational, from the pickled beet salad to the seared prawns. The space is beautiful but a little echoey and loud. Very fun to bring a group and share lots of different things.

delicious but overpriced.

It was far too loud to be an enjoyable dining experience. They were playing club music with thumping bass, which required everyone to yell at each other. I found the entire experience stressful and could not wait to get out of the restaurant. The food tasted good, but totally not worth it in my opinion due to the atmosphere.

Unfortunately, it is radically different than the Barcelona wine bar in DC. I was hoping it would be able to retain the authentic Spanish experience, but instead it seems pretty stingy/cheap and lacks the hospitality and European spirit. The quality of all of the dishes we had was excellent. The value is okay. The service was incredibly professional and pleasant, but the food came out 10 minutes before our first round of drinks? maybe hire more bartenders for peak dining hours on the weekends?

Thank you so much Niemo for making my birthday an amazing experience from beginning to end. It was my first time ever coming to Barcelona on a whim and the service and food was beyond compare. We will be back and make sure that others ask to sit in your section.

The reason for only two ⭐️⭐️in food because we order three Paella’s the three of them were burn mushy rice 🍚 one of the three Paella’s was little bit last burn 🔥 for being call” Barcelona” , and not making a good Paella isn’t good.
Tapas really good 👍🏽 the tortilla de papa's was really good and the chicken , Patatas bravas good stuff very friendly service is good nothing extra special.

My wife and I have been here twice now and each time the experience was great! We were able to sit at the high top table off Washington Ave and loved the vibe. We will definitely be coming back

Our server Chris was amazingggg!! Had great recommendations and paced everything perfectly. Our family was late to our reservation and he was very chill about it. Honestly once of the best servers I’ve ever had. We even got croquettas on the house. My boyfriend and I came in for dinner and had to bring the family because it was so good. The menu feels really well thought out, genuinely everything is so good. We’ve tried about half the tapas now and not a single disappointed! The Paella is also AMAZING! I’m seriously writing this review as we leave the restaurant, I was so happy with everything. Once again Chris was great!! :)

Nice new restaurant in north loop but a little overhyped in my opinion
Service was good but some of the tapas was underwhelming- most disappointed with the mussels where half were actually closed!!!!
I should have told the manager as that can cause food poisoning but I didn't at the time
Now the olive oil cake was amazing!!
Wines were good, nice atmosphere although can be very loud in there
l'd be willing to try again- go with a group so I can try more dishes
Not comparable to actual tapas in Spain
