Justin, the bartender is an amazing server. We enjoyed eating at the bar and chatting with him! Great atmosphere and delicious food. Susie and Mike
The service was impeccable. There was live music early in our meal. The landscaping for the patio had just been redone. Eating al fresco was delightful.
Our food was delicious and the ambience was wonderful. Overall, we had a lovely date night, despite service being slow.
Lovely lunch on the refurbished patio. Great food and sangria. Service was attentive but not intrusive. Great experience. Only drawback is street noise - especially motorcycles - unfortunately unavoidable.
The most wonderful experience for our anniversary. Ethan was awesome. Super professional and friendly and thank you for the champagne! It has been years since we've been here and we were reminded after this visit we need to come back more often.
Always such a great dining experience at Barcelona. The restaurant space and decor is beautiful, staff is professional, friendly and knowledgeable, and the food is consistently delicious. Tapas is all about sharing so it's a fun way to try new foods with friends, and Barcelona provides the perfect setting. It offers a varied selection of tapas dishes with something for everyone and unique cocktails, beers and Spanish wines. One person in our party couldn't drink alcohol so our server recommended a delicious non-alcoholic gin & tonic that looked and tasted like a signature cocktail! This was our third visit to Barcelona and we'll be going back many more times, no doubt.
My favorite restaurant in town!! Beautiful patio, but couldn't sit due to rain. Only complaint is they charged me $8 for water with cranberry and lime. Food was amazing and Paul gave us the best service. Thank you!
Very nice kitchen and service!

Wow,coming from Chicago the bar was high for good food. Was told to try Barcelona and was not disappointed.
The chief came out and greeted everyone, I told him you can always tell a good restaurant by the Scallops.
Hands down one of the best Scallops I've ever had across multiple cities, states and countries. I mean I was floored at the sauce and the different flavors that came through , hands down either the best or second best scallops I've ever had in my life.
Drinks are prepared by multiple bartenders who compete the competitions for making drinks, needless to say, drinks are good too.

My husband and I love this restaurant for date nights! I believe their menu changes either weekly or every few weeks. We have never been disappointed with their service or their food. Staff are always knowledgeable. They'll always check on you. Their dishes are always unique and well-put together. Some dishes are more pricey than others, but it's always worth it! They also have a great bar menu with delicious cocktails. As for parking, they do not have a parking lot. It's street parking, so if you're driving, prepare to possibly walk a block or so. But they do offer valet parking as well. Also, it'd probably be best to make a reservation.

Must try!! A little bit of Spain in Columbus, Ohio. Extremely enjoyable and stellar food and wine!!
Vegetarian options: There is a number of vegetarian dishes on the menu, including a vegetarian paella.
Kid-friendliness: I wouldn't necessarily say this restaurant is kid friendly, unless they have a large and adventurous pallet and are well behaved.

My partner and I came for a lovely happy hour at the end of the week to enjoy each other's company. We ordered drinks and tapas and accrued nearly a 100 dollar bill. The atmosphere was wonderful, but our service was not.
Our bartender flat out ignored us most of the night, while being attentive to those sitting right next to us. It was difficult to flag him down, even though he was passing right in front of us. We both have years of experience serving, so we understand that things get busy, but this was not the case. He had time to chat with coworkers, customers, quite frankly everyone but us. Toward the end of our meal, he even generously offered the folks next to us to get us cashed out right away so they could have our seats when we leave:) all of the other staff was lovely, Lucas was not..

Absolutely loved my birthday lunch at Barcelona. The Bocata sub is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Delicious! We also had some paella, assorted tapas, and desserts, and all were fantastic. On top of all this, the Spanish red wines are stellar.
