A great place to meetup with a small group. Here’s a tip. I found that the tables in the bar area are considered bar tables and if you get there before too late you’re more than likely to find seating while the main seating area of the restaurant is full. Thank me later.

Sunday, March 3, 2024A very stylish Spanish restaurant. Although the chef is not Spanish, he studied in Barcelona and interprets the essence of Spanish cuisine very well. Although the oil-soaked prawns do not use crayfish, they still taste good; the paella has crispy rice, which tastes authentic.

It’s a cool place but quite tight. It’s pretty loud so be prepared to raise your voice to talk. Half of the dishes we had were awesome like the mushroom toast and the paella. We also had crisp artichokes which were just tempura so those were alright. The branzino was decent but have had better.
Great experience!! Came here for a date night with my husband for the first time. Easy to make reservations. Our server Nate was really attentive and helpful at explaining things. We got the Brussels sprouts, sweet potato r hummus, olives, and empanadas. We ordered the chicken plate and it was so delicious- all of our food was good. Nate recommended a great Red wine for us. The only drawback was the noise level in the restaurant. Very loud so hard to communicate with each other.

Me and my sister ate here and had a less then stellar experience. The general manager reached out to us to try again (dinner on him) and me and my husband went to the Reston VA location and it was absolutely incredible. Food and service was amazing! Will definitely be back. Special shout-out to Jed as he went above and beyond with his hospitality.

I always loved Barcelona wine bar. Went to different locations. I’m a wine girl so this is very much of my place. And their food remind me a lot of my hometown food. How interesting Spain and China have so many similarities in our cuisine history.We made reservations at 7 pm. When we came in 10 mins earlier still have to wait for 20 mins for the table to set up. I mean what’s the point of making reservations if I still have to wait at the door when I came in.I think is a very nice spot to came in with friends!!!

After reading all of the reviews, I was excited to try Barcelona for my birthday. We did have to wait another 30 minutes past our reservation which is less than desired, but it was a busy Saturday night so it is understandable. We were seated beside a sheer curtain separating us from a ridiculously rowdy private party. Even our server commented on how loud they were when we could hear them cheering and see them waving their napkins in the air through the curtain. Despite being unable to hear my date, not all was lost. The drinks and food were amazing. Definitely get the potatoes! The sauce is magical.
Great food and wine! The meat sampler is really great. Everything cooked to perfection. The shrimp and carrot puree was really good. The warm olive oil cake was great. Potatoes and the veggies were really tasty. Server was great with helping me choose a wine. Continued to bring me samples until I found the right one. They even sold us a bottle of our favorite red wine from the menu. This is one of our favorite places to dine while visiting Raleigh. Dined with picky eaters and they loved everything. Thank you for a great meal and experience.

We went here to celebrate a friends birthday and they were so accommodating! We had a group of 10 people with many orders throughout our time and Kathleen was amazing! She had recommendations for each person including ensuring allergies were cared for in detail! She split the checks for us and went above and beyond when caring for us throughout our evening. It was a truly lovely experience.Dietary restrictions: They had a personalized menu for each person with allergies.

We just came from eating at the restaurant in Raleigh and I have to say that the service was wonderful as well as the food. We tried the seafood paella this time and it was very good.Croquettes, cheese, ham were so good, too.The experience was really great. The treatment by all the staff was excellent and the atmosphere was very good. I recommend it 100%.

This used to be one of my favorite spots but the service here has become abysmal. The last two times I came here, the waiters are constantly asking me if I'm finished with my plate half full and asking me if I want another drink with me clearly still sipping on my drink. Servers always trying to get you to order more or clear the table for the next customer leaving no chance to savor your food or drink. Will be finding a new spot to dine. It is sad that the service here has become like that.
