The food was pretty good but the service was honestly horrible. I came in at 5:30 for a party of 2, no wait. They sat me in another completely empty room. I was waiting for a friend so i was sitting completely by myself until she got there. I wanted a glass of wine while I waited but the waiter never came around. Food was fast but she was so slow with the drinks. I had to get up and walk to the other room to ask her to ring us in for another drink. Bill was $100+ but the service and atmosphere was terrible.
The decoration was beautiful and the vibe was very lively, i just didnt get to experience it from where I was sat. Its like we were watching everyone have fun in the other room and being ignored. Maybe in the future, I’ll give it another chance but I have no incentive to go back right now. Such a bummer. I had been looking forward to this place for months. Ended up leaving and grabbing drinks elsewhere. Barcelona Wine Bar is so much better!!! I never feel ignored there and the energy/service/food is amazing!
Fun to sit at the bar and grab an interesting drink. Love that they have a vermouth and sherry section on the menu. Food is hit or miss, some bites are delicious (manchego and jamon sandwich) and some leave me confused (chorizo stuffed prawn).

I wasn’t impressed by the food not the service. I was expecting a better experience; unfortunately it was not the case.

It's just okay. I actually think Barcelona wine bar is better all around. The decor could definitely use some professional touches as it doesn't seem quite what it wants to be ambience wise. Id expect something a bit nicer for the prices. The mushroom toast was probably the best thing we had but overall the experience was mid and I probably wouldnt go back.

Definitely going back! Very yummy food, great wait staff and fun atmosphere.
Dietary restrictions: Very knowledgeable about dishes that did or did not contain gluten and willing to modify.
Their idea of dish size is laughable even for small plates. You would have to order $50 worth of dishes per person to equal an entree.

We had a phenomenal evening thanks to Brooke, the best bartender we have met in the city! She went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing night! We loved the food she recommended and cannot wait to go back! The octopus dish, braised short rib, pastas bravado and shishito peppers were to die for!

Great restaurant! The food was amazing and fairly priced. The tapas are big enough to share between two and the mocktails were great

It was date night, perfect atmosphere for a nice relaxing, dim lit (sexy) place to eat. The food is so good, although they leave you wanting more so you gotta double up on the Patatas Bravas. It was my boyfriend’s birthday and Ian brought out a dessert with candles, and sang happy birthday. Very thoughtful and we really appreciate his efforts. Will be back soon Ian and team!
Amazing experience and even better tapas. Highly suggest the duck wings

The place has its nice vibe. But the food is too expensive compare to the portions. We ordered a paella and were told it was for 2 people but was not enough for 2 of us. Our other friends ask for one ribs dish also “shareable” and the portion was even smaller than ours.

Third time visiting Las Ramblas, this one the best yet. Our reserved table was ready when we arrived and we were seated with ice water brought over immediately. Our server, Ian, was attentive without being intrusive. Tapas started arriving soon after we ordered and our second round arrived promptly as well. Favourites were Lion's Mane, Duck Wings, Patatas Bravas, roasted eggplant and the Pork Belly. The tuna tartar was OK but not a home run, the tuna more of a mushy topping as opposed to a finely minced consistency. The carafe of white sangria was perfect for the sweltering weather but including some of the macerated fruit would have been nice. Dessert -Death By Chocolate- was a nice conclusion.

Our first time here and it was wonderful! Our server, Ian, was fantastic and was so personable and courteous. We appreciated his enthusiasm and, even though it was a busy Saturday evening, he made sure to check in on us several times and then brought a complimentary dessert with a candle for our son's birthday. Tapas and drinks were all amazing and delicious and desserts were yummy. Highly recommend and we look forward to returning!

It was fine.... Cute spot. Typically when I got to tapas restaurants, the server helps course things a bit but our food literally all came out plate after plate. Felt like they were rushing us out a bit. None of the dishes blew us away enough to want to go back again.
